40oz Posted November 9, 2010 Trying to bring doomer's closer together. Some Doomers, including Krispavera, Doom Marine, Bloodshedder, Carnevil, and Da Spadger been having group get-togethers on skype. Hopefully if we can get a good doom-related discussion going on, we may even be able to record it and edit it together to create a Doom Radio show. Interested in hearing from you guys.

Mechadon Posted November 9, 2010 If I had a mic, I'd consider it. Though I probably wouldn't have a whole lot to add to the discussion :( 0 Share this post Link to post

eargosedown Posted November 9, 2010 I keep declining these, because I'm a cold hearted bitch. Actually, I'm almost always in the middle of something important when ya'll call =[ Sorry 0 Share this post Link to post
Alfonzo Posted November 9, 2010 Added. I'll wait patiently until someone decides to pipe up. Thankfully, the most important thing I'm usually ever doing is staring blankly at my screenplay or thundering away on the keyboard to conjure up some throwaway piece of fiction. skype name: saint-alfonzo 0 Share this post Link to post

Actually, I'm almost always in the middle of something important when ya'll call =[ Sorry You really oughta get in on one because we seriously had like 15 people in there on Friday night. It's pretty fun. Also, for those without mics: Don't worry about it! You can still come in and listen and even type if you so desire. Oh, and if you're just too shy to talk, don't be. Seriously. You don't have to be shy around us. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kirby Posted November 9, 2010 My username is blanketboy25. I'm re-downloading skype and adding you guys ATM. I would definitely be interested in some Doom related convo. When do these usually take place? 0 Share this post Link to post
Abyssalstudios1 Posted November 9, 2010 I'll add you all when I get home from class. My username is jensenroger. This is actually a really cool idea. I can just feel the creativity flowing already... I'm willing to record the conversations and zip them into .oggs if anyone's interested. I have a 20 gig spare hard drive with nothing better to do. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraboy94 Posted November 9, 2010 So this is Skype 5.0 on windows right? never used this before. 0 Share this post Link to post
Abyssalstudios1 Posted November 9, 2010 By the way, how do these things normally go? I've never actually been in a large conference call (the largest I've had was four people, I think). Is it just a lot of random talking? Do people bring up topics of conversation? Try to play something online and then dissolve into arguing over which port to use? (Thinking about it, Odamex seems to be a good choice for DM if that need ever arises). 0 Share this post Link to post
pavera Posted November 9, 2010 Well Friday was pretty much me drunkenly assembling every doom community member I could convince to join us. Believe me I'm still shocked I managed to do it. It can really go any way you want it to. Want to come in and discuss a project idea? Sure. That'll be awesome. Wanna get drunk and tell piss jokes? Sure, could be fun. A little of both? All the better. 0 Share this post Link to post

Xeros612 Posted November 10, 2010 I might take a shot at this once I get over my illness... and remember what the hell my username & password are. 0 Share this post Link to post
Abyssalstudios1 Posted November 10, 2010 Well, that was fun. I got to talk to Krisp and listen to Themistercat play his flute whilst high. We must do it again soon. 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted November 10, 2010 I am a big fan of Doom too, but my English knowledge is a little bad. If you think you can add me. My skype name: schmidtzoli... (with the points too!) 0 Share this post Link to post

Fletcher` Posted November 10, 2010 I should, but I don't have much to talk about. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
pavera Posted November 10, 2010 rf` said:I should, but I don't have much to talk about. :P Neither do we.. at least at first. You should just come in and listen for a bit, then talk when you're comfortable. 0 Share this post Link to post
Mr. Freeze Posted November 11, 2010 I've got 2 hours. Anyone want to start a conference call? EDIT: everyone get in skulltag domination now 0 Share this post Link to post
Kirby Posted November 13, 2010 Curious to see what everyone is doing tomorrow - noon seems to be appropriate timing (US East anyways) for finding everyone else online, so lets make it happen :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted November 14, 2010 I just started an account with this. Some jerk is using the name Megalyth, so I needed to come up with another one. I'm using this name: Mega_Hates_Everyone I don't have a microphone, but I can get one easily. Can anyone recommend a good mic/headset that doesn't cost a fortune? 0 Share this post Link to post
Planky Posted November 14, 2010 Logitech do some decent headsets, e.g. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104319&cm_re=logitech_headset-_-26-104-319-_-Product or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104228&cm_re=logitech_headset-_-26-104-228-_-Product (cheaper) Added 40z. Not sure whether I'll be up around the times the conferences will be happening, but will try to join at some point 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted November 14, 2010 I need a mic. I'm looking to buy an Audio-Technica 20-20. I'm going to buy a Digi-box simply to run Protools, so I'll at least have an interface. 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted November 14, 2010 If you don't have a mic, you should at least switch your recording settings to "Stereo Mix" then go to a Text to Speech website to talk to us. Actually... don't do that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Megalyth Posted November 15, 2010 I see a few people have tried to talk to me. I'm not ingoring anyone, I've just left Skype running since I installed it and forgot to set my status to "away" when I was, in fact, away. I still need to get a headset. I'm going to check out the local Best Buy either today or tomorrow. They have a good selection of tech accessories, so I should be able to find a nice headset, and if not, the mall is in the same plaza. Fear not! My golden voice will be caressing your lonely eardrums very, very soon! 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted November 15, 2010 40oz said:Actually... don't do that. Why not? That particular one has a "UK English" voice with a very pompuous British accent, that will make you sound like a General of Her Majesty's Royal Army ;-) For kicks, try making it say this: "Howdy mate, I've got a perfect British Accent! How perfect? So perfect it will rape fuck up your bloody face, dolt, and make it bleed even more. Long live the Mighty British Empire!" 0 Share this post Link to post
Sigvatr Posted November 15, 2010 Why not vent or TS or something? Skype is a jewosh plot to take over the internet. 0 Share this post Link to post
Six Posted November 15, 2010 Maes said:"Howdy mate, I've got a perfect British Accent! How perfect? So perfect it will rape fuck up your bloody face, dolt, and make it bleed even more. Long live the Mighty British Empire!" That would be foiled by the fact that we don't say "howdy" nor "dolt". Replace howdy with "oi" and dolt with "cunt" and it's more believable. 0 Share this post Link to post
