Alaois posted:i feel like i'm going insane reading this Sorry, I should have qualified my statements or broke up my thoughts. Tried UYD a few years ago and it did not click at all for me. I was super sure it would because of all the buzz and the fact that the McElroys loved it. I have come to the conclusion however that pretty much anything any of the brothers likes to watch for entertainment, I do not like. This goes doubly for Nick Robinson. I love all the poo poo they make but the stuff they like has never resonated with me. The professional comedian stuff was actually me thinking about Jonah being in the podcast and the greater MaxFun slate of podcasts which are just rife with comedians who are very funny but lack a certain je ne sais quoi that make it sound genuine.

Ah, I don't follow the thread super closely as it is usually people close reading a fuckin D&D podcast with three thirty somethings and their Dad. I didn't know this is what this dude did, otherwise I wouldn't have engaged.

Nick is talking about Divx discs and they were totally a thing. You'd get them for cheap and could watch them for a couple days then pay like a full DVD price to unlock it and we had a billion of them because we got them for like nothing when the format failed.

Divx were controlled by some kind of online DRM and had to be played in special players. The "self-destructing" DVDs were something else. Looks like it would have been either Flexplay or DVD-D.

I think the Gamefly ads they do on CGI are my favorite podcast ads, to the point where it took me two episodes to realize it was an actual ad and not just a great new bit they were doing. I had a subscription to a Gamefly like service back when I was like 14 and the only game I remember renting from it was I-Ninja for the PS2.

I was able to get a Game Boy Color game for my 8th birthday. I narrowed down my choices to Pokemon Blue Version or the game boy adaptation of Aardman Animation's 2000 film Chicken Run i chose poorly edit: I got Crystal for Christmas so it turned out okay in the end.

Travis is likely to set a world record for most simultaneous Podcasts hosted at this rate. He's probably a good fit for helping set this thing up.

Are they still going to be able to do it if they get like $50,000? If so, why not set the goal lower, and if not, why use flexible funding? Also, $55 dollars for remote access to the podcasts and whatever boring panels? quote:$89  Hey, you know what poor people really need? Tickets to a podcast convention.

It's an extremely strange idea given the number of podcast conventions going already, and the fact that they're just raising money and making ideas now with only 7 months to go. The Chicago podcast fest is in mid november and already has a stacked lineup including a lot of MaxFun shows.

The timing seems optimistic but Night Vale and MBMBaM have pretty huge followings so I wouldn't put it past them to be able to get this off the ground.

I feel like it was comparable ($25ish) except it was also streamed live and this won't be

I'm not trying to suggest that this is any sort of scam (save for the fact that it's a flexible funding campaign, meaning they get to keep the money even if the project doesn't get funded). I'm more say that, even if you take the DashCon folks at their word, it was a convention set up by people woefully inexperienced in setting up conventions and just as woefully optimistic about the demand for such a thing.

It's probably Night Vale taking lessons from DashCon, to be honest. Keep all the finances separate means less risk to them in terms of getting their fee upfront, or at least means that they're working with people more likely to be "good for the money" after the show.
