Why is there a podcast?

And why am I not involved? Also, why do forum families exist?

 

Roxma was your old name, right? I keep forgetting... Anyway, anything to keep the days here fresh and exciting.

 

interesting

Correct.

 

...OMG YOU ARE STILL ALIVE, IT'S BEEN SO LONG DOOD.

Err, so how is life and stuff?

 

I applied. More of you guys should.

 

Do I know you?

I might once I have more time this summer.

 

Would apply but I am not sure if I met the qualifications.

That and I guess I'm too shy?

IDK, I guess I should REALLY apply.

You might know me as Chaser007 or just Chaser *Horrible old times*

 

Now I remember. And yeah DO IT. And there are qualifications? That's why lying exists.

 

Make your own podcast and battle it out.

Does a mic embedded into my laptop that I don't know how to operate count as a working mic?

 

Headphones are also really important to have, else we'll get an echo on the podcast which is really annoying to hear and usually difficult to edit out.

I do advise against internal microphones just because they're very low quality and pick up a lot of background noise. I'm not expecting every one of our guests to have studio quality mics but internal mics are pretty bad most of the time. It depends on the particular one though, you should play around with it and see how it sounds over Skype. Since the audio is processed through Skype (that's how we record it, there are other ways but they're not very guest friendly) there's really no reason to go out and buy a snazzy mic anyway. A cheap headset would probably be the best solution (unless you skype/podcast/make commentaries often like me, or are a tech nerd like me, and waste your money on this ****).

 

The built in mic's on the mid to higher end gaming headsets also work very well. For the people who want something for console gaming and perhaps doing stuff like this on the side. Good for casual skype calls as well. I personally have been using Astro A40's for a couple years. Good durability, and has been well worth the money. Obviously a solution like this isn't going to be super cheap, but worth it if you do this sort of thing.

 

Oh I think I remember y'all.

 

It's an old fart, oh lord.
