RadioScum (Thread 2.0) - Faraday needs to suck more

[Faraday]

Ya, there's a few things I actually have for the next time I'm on that I *think* could make for interesting discussion but it can be difficult, I mean also you don't want only 2 of the 3 people on to be able to talk about something.

Doing a monthlyish show on the scummies could be fun, I guess. Or at least you could talk about it once every so often on your show if other topics don't come up.

[xRECKONERx]

Well ideally, the monthly Scummies show would be separate from the Mashups & Mafia show and we'd have a month to prepare it, getting interviews/segments with various nominees and having several different games to discuss. I'd also want to do it with a co-host each month.

[zoraster]

fair enough. I guess I just find the specific mafia discussion parts the most interesting, but that follows my general practice of not paying much attention to the other parts of MS.

I would be willing to help out with something like that, probably.

[xRECKONERx]

It also runs the risk of overlapping with M&M theory discussion, so maybe we could just do it as a special episode of Mashups & Mafia on the first/last of the month?

[zoraster]

I don't know reck. If you're really looking to make that into a thing with more serious discussion, etc. I think a new show will fit better rather than trying to shoehorn it into the same format.

Instead, you could do a Cartoon Network/Adult swim kind of thing. Have a separate show with a different format but use the same time slot to do it. So, like... the first three weeks of the month are M&M, the last is Scummies Discussion or whatever more appealing title is used.

SCUMMIES AND SONNETS - A POETRY SHOW

[zoraster]

When I was thinking of possible recurring segments I actually thought about a segment where each player picks a post by someone else that's dumb, weird, whatever from a game and then reads it with all the false gravitas they can lend it....

[Faraday]

oh wow....that sounds kind of funny, it helps there's a specific post in mind I'd want to read out >_>

I believe we did this one week with a F62 post.

[Drench]

recurring dramatic readings would be excellent if there were actually high quality texts to be read

and music! you need classy music, this has done quite well for me in the past

I should have rehearsed it beforehand, but...

[Sotty7]

Loved it.

[Cogito Ergo Sum]

That reminds me - it probably should've been called something like a priority move instead of an insured move. I'm pretty sure that's where the confusion came from (and why Mina considered that interaction counterintuitive) and didn't reflect usage.

you sound completely different than I expected, even though I've heard your voice before for your youtube video posts in a mafia game.

[zoraster]

Yeah, that's a good point CES. If I run the game again with the move mechanic staying the same (and I think I would... I like the way that worked even if there were other parts that I didn't love), I'll call it a "priority" move.

[zoraster]

To be fair, I probably sound different when I'm not reading off of a somewhat awkward post

[Faraday]

reading one of my posts would have taken less time >_>

[Xalxe]

Or reck could play other ridiculous games with his guests for shits & giggles.

[xRECKONERx]

Only game we've ever played is Roger Ebert Game.

Oh, and THIS OR THAT.

[Faraday]

well we clearly should play LIVE DRINKING GAMES but yeah idk

[zoraster]

how did drunk mafia work out anyway? since most of it was apparently on skype?

[TheLonging]

So who's on for this week as guests?

[xRECKONERx]

InflatablePie and yourself >.>;

it was a lot of drunken rambling, then Nikanor would open day and we'd all go dead silent

Nik would also fuck with us on Skype by telling us shit that wasn't true

I was TOO DRUNK
