And hopefully at some point we can have a podcast during normal hours. >.<
Those ain't normal hours? :wink:
:lol:

Alright guys, we're getting ready for this thing! It will hopefully start in a half-hour; however, since one of my co-hosts is coming back from a football game he's playing with his band at, it may start a little bit late.

However, if that happens, I'll jump on and talk until we're set to go. Maybe you have questions for me? That's cool too. :P

Alright, podcast tonight! We just decided! It'll be at 9 PM Eastern, so maybe people can actually be awake to listen to it.

Again, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions, so if you're at the show, please tell us how we did!

So, whatever happened to this? Apparently whoever who was orchestrating it just ran off like it was about to burst into flames or something?

I live stream every so often. I could post in advance when I'm going to if people would like. I know it's not quite the same thing though.

Well I was more trying to see what happened to the 'Official-Unnoficial' RBTV station so we could get lots of community created and official to RB media up there and going constantly.

It's all part of my "Get your ass back in gear on RB, Moddy" plan.

I might upload my completed podcasts if I have time. We need more user-generated content, guys! If you have anything and Matt's not around, I'll get you his e-mail address.

He didn't post much beforehand, either. it always seemed a bit odd to me that he was the one taking this up as opposed to a more established member of the community with, perhaps, their finger on the pulse of what goes on...

On one hand I'd like to see something like this do well. But, on the other, I am of the opinion that (by in large) people on this site don't spend a lot of time watching internet videos about games (or listening to podcasts about them, for that matter). There are exceptions, but the demographic here seems to prefer discussion, well written articles, and critical commentary more than A/V presentations. Frankly, that impulse is probably part of what makes it the great community that it is.

Just my .02

YES! I deserve all of your ire and hate, BUT I WILL MAKE IT BETTER!

I disappeared for a while because a combination of a few things happened. I got a full time job, my computer died and I've been collecting the shambles of my internet persona since then including all logins, streaming stuff and programs, and I had a class which required a lot of writing and performing which means many late nights.

But I have returned and am going to hit RBTV 100% again, this includes getting more streamers. I had opened the doors for stream submissions, but there wasn't a lot of response. I think it was because of the rules involved, so it's a lot more open now. Basically if you wanna stream, let me know. You don't need a specific podcast or show idea in mind, you can just take over for a while and stream games or do a podcast if you want.

Tonight I'll be streaming some old games, including whatever you may request. No general theme in mind yet, but we may go back to you guys making Matt play the worst games you can think of.

Also I'm on a PC now which really opens my options for emulation.

I'm not dead!

EDIT: We're gonna start streaming at 6 PM EST. Leave requests in this thread and we'll have a good ol' time.
