I just watched some of the old "At the movies" reviews.
I quote somebody: "Two bright, funny men who
obviously liked movies and each other, even if they argued a lot- but that's
what made it great. An intelligent, well-informed debate is always as fun to
watch as a great movie, and Siskel and Ebert made it an art form" and I totally agree with him. And I've got an idea.
What if two experienced Freespace-players would do some sort of a radio show criticising some of the more famous player-made campaigns? I'm sure that they'd be able to excavate a lot of background information that is unknown for us and that most of us would love listening to experienced players arguing about the FREDding, the overally storyline and everything else.
-
I think NGTM-1R would be a natural at something like this. :p
-
Mobius and Snail

Mobius and Snail
the show wouldn't last a week lol.
snail + ah, who else has a sense of humor?
-
Mobius and Snail
lol...
And here's an example why some of us wouldn't love listening to "experienced players arguing about the FREDding, the overally [sic] storyline and everything else".

Luckia, you just watched the Nostalgia Critic, havn't you? ;7
-
Ok who would be the about Statler and Waldorfs? LOL (the two old guys from the mumpets)

I'm more of an Evil Joel Robinson than an Ebert, but I'm honored.

Crap. My secrets were revealed.
Actually, I am the Angry Movie Dork ;)
-
Well, I'm grumpy enough and snobby enough to be a critic. :doubt:
-
Get BlackDove or QuantumDelta. Both are experienced, and the latter's British.
-
Since when is britishness a required criteria for criticism? :wtf:

I guess it means an improvement in sound quality. :p

yes, but would you be an entertaining critic?

That'd be pretty useful :D
-
Hmms...... I did wanna try a podcast thing some day, I honestly have no idea if I'd be any good at that kinda thing or not though ;p
Probably not considering how hesitant I tend to be in speech sometimes.
Most peeps who've heard me on voice comms say I have one of 'those' voices though >.>

But this isn't a speech, it is a discussion. :)
-
Well, just figure that with a tiny bit of scripting I probably could pull it off, dunno 'bout BD though he doesn't use voice comms much. :P
-
Yes, but I don't trust either of you to be terribly erudite about the storytelling or FREDding. :P
Karaj maybe, but we'd never talk him into it. There aren't terribly many people in the community who do both.
-
Darius and BlackDove!

I'm allways entertaining. Don't you know assho- .. I mean, "The Comedian" is my middle name!

Considering my reading age has been double or triple my chronological age for the majority of my life, I'm probably more well-read than yourself :P
-
Just for fun: QuantumDelta + TrashMan about Shrouding the Light?
-

And yet you still don't come across as able to do the job. :P
Besides, you're not, since I'm pretty sure that's identical or less than mine. :P
-
I think you are both suffering form a massive bloated ego :p

Thus they'd be a really entertaining duo. :p

I'm fairly sure "reading age" stops meaning anything beyond the age of 9 or 10. Actually, bragging about your "reading age" is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on here. I mean, you reckon your "reading age" was quadruple your actual age for your entire life? So you're reading geriatric books now? Just get through "Preparing for Death" or something? Or even when you were a kid - when you were ten were you reading "How to win friends and Influence people" or books about coping with a mid life crisis?
Seriously, get a better brag.
[EDIT]On the original topic, never saw Siskel and Ebert, but I did see the Nostalgia Critic video - I dunno if the format'd work as well for campaigns as it does for movies, but I do agree that you'd need at least one FREDder in the pair, and someone funny. No suggestions though.
-
On the original topic, (...) I do agree that you'd need at least one FREDder in the pair.
Okay, we should consult Ransom Arceihn :D:p
-
Darius and Ransom. They have very different styles and they're both polite and thoughtful.
-
That's boring
-
Mm, I guess I'd have to half agree here. Egotistical types tend to do better in these kind of roles, or well, they make for more interesting viewing. Actually, if you could get Darius and Ransom in the same room it could be interesting, but you'd have to toss someone 'ragey' or Blackdove-ish in there as well, just to give spice things up.

No intention of nitpicking, but I can't say that Siskel/Ebert/Roeper were egoistic. They only need a different approach if you ask me,
-

Nah. He's too busy having a life in China. :blah:
If you need one FREDder, how about Axem? :nervous:
-
Seriously, we should make a test podcast. Two volunteers needed :)
-
Five minutes, with the topic being the original FS1 for starters. FREDding should be nitpicked to shreds ;)
