cazboab Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 So this kind of thing is getting pretty common now and I figure, why not have a go at one for Arnies? So on Saturday the 13th of april at 20:45 BST I'll be opening one up and letting anyone who chooses to become involved play about with their settings for a while before broadcasting at around 21:00. But who and what will be on the show? Well that's what this thread is for, So far CKinnerly of REMF tacticool fame has agreed to join and they're a few other people who're possibles, but even if all of 'em join in there's still spaces, so if you'd be available, and you'd like to be a part of this send me a PM with the reason you'd like to join in EG youtube channels, blogs etc or even a long list of insults and expletives because haven't already sent you a PM asking you to join in and i really should have. Even if you only want to watch, If you have a vaguely airsoft related subject you'd like to hear some of your fellow Arnie's members talk about or any questions you'd like us to cover, throw 'em in the thread here, or PM me if you want to remain anonymous, and once the broadcast begins there will be be a chat function on youtube if you have a question for a specific person on the hangout, or just something that you thought up late.

cazboab Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Quick update: you don't need a webcam to join in, but you will need a mic. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I'll join in, not sure what one of these things is, but why not! I'll be adding comedic value, and "lowest common denominator" questions - that is to say, i am the idiot that gets 'idiot proof' things tested on. Link to post Share on other sites

Shardik Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Ill get involved. Every random hangout needs a Geordie to lower the tone. Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Listening to this now it's pretty good I'll definitely be listening/watching to more. One thing I have noticed though is the audio quality seems a little iffy but I think that's down to google hangout. Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I think it is partly - i have checked my mic levels here and recorded it and it comes over clear as day so no idea why it sounded faint on the hangout compared to Caz's - CK's sounded worse Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 just in case you have missed it we now have our own sub-forum for this underhttp://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/index.php?/forum/392-arnies-hangout-chat-show/ Drew Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I've seen other podcasts done with google hangout and it's always the same. Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Fair enough, thought it might have been something at this end. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah I was just on my laptop at home with the basic built-in mic, which I'd imagine is just meant to be 'good enough' for some skype usage. If I'm not on base next week I'll endeavor to bring a headset with me. Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 That was probably it then. I ended up listening to the whole thing (I was about 45 min in when I first posted) and it looks like it has great potential. My only criticism though would be that it seemed to loose direction towards the end. Link to post Share on other sites
Apex Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I was only there for the first 1:30 - my pc bsod after that.... This was also thrown together at the last min so it's bound to be rough >_< Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Yeah we went on too long. Me and caz were just sort of chatting and getting more and more tired and drifting in to a normal conversation vice a broadcast type show. Should've set a finish time for the public broadcast really, something for next time. Cap it to about 90 minutes max I'd say, I'm amazed anyone even listened to the whole thing through, most won't even at more than 20-30 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Quick update, next time post info a day or two before the hangout. I missed it. Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sorry about that Mike. As apex said, this was a rough last minute effort to prove it could work, the second attempt should knock a few rough edges off, and we'll be doing it Saturday the 20th at 8:45PM BST, broadcasting at 9pm.

DarkLite Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Man, I'd love to jump in on this, but I fear my *suitcasey* internet and time zone difference will be insurmountable. Link to post Share on other sites
