The Siskels and Eberts of FSO?
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.

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".

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

Get BlackDove or QuantumDelta. Both are experienced, and the latter's British.

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 >.>

and after everything we've seen here maybe even more.
I know we're not the only ones, and we were not the first,
and unapologetically we'll stand behind each word."

But this isn't a speech, it is a discussion. :)

Re: The Siskels and Eberts of FSO?
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.
