TBCS Modcast

[jdbnsn]

Hello Everyone,

Recently we asked for a willing participant to come forward and help develop a new project, the TBCS Modcast. One of our forum regulars, Omega, has stepped up and we are getting to work on what should be an exciting new addition to our site. Please join me in congratulating Omega on his new position and wishing him luck in this endeavor!

Jon

[Zephik]

oooh, I like the way this sounds!

Congratz omega! ...psh, first you get to meet Paul and see PD3 in person and now this. Your one lucky guy!

So I don't suppose we can get more info on this new modcast thing could we JD? Is it just a modding podcast? That would be AWESOME!

Can't wait to see whats to come of the future with this, good luck guys!

[jdbnsn]

So I don't suppose we can get more info on this new modcast thing could we JD?

The project is still on the drawing board, but we will keep you posted.

[progbuddy]

Good luck :). Gonna host it under a different tab, maybe, or would you link it to the main page?

[Omega]

I don't want to give too much away (anticipation is so fun to cause, sorry =D) but I will say that we're hashing out exactly what kind of podcast this is going to be right now.


We're unlclear about how to distribute it right now, but I'm sure that'll be hashed out before the first broadcast.

I can't wait to get this off the ground, seriously. I think you guys would like it.

[Eclecticos]

Congratulations, on the upgrade to Preacorian Omega!

Modcast Huh? Is it anything like the teamspeak?

Or is it some type of video thing?
I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

[DaveW]

It's a podcast...but with added mod.

-Dave

[progbuddy]

Haven't gotten feedback or anything... Starting? Agenda? How often will one come out?

Also, can't wait until this thing gets rolling, and see what we can do. Modcast is drawing attention, but kinda seems "stuck between a stack of papers."

[jdbnsn]

We do have alot going on at the moment and we are still developing the base of the project. I hope to have this going soon, but it's hard to say when.

[slytherock]

Congrat on the promotion Omega :banana:

Right now, we're in a bout of getting content, writing scripts, doing audio work, creating graphics, etc. We've not taken the time to set up an agenda or anything, but that's also because this project is about 4 people (Myself, Luke, Jon & Dave) collaborating during their free time. (Which happen to be in different time zones and such, plus stuff like work and *gasp* I've got a social life too ;))

Also, the Modcast really is stuck in between larger things. The Modder's Challenge, she Super Secret Project, trying to increase the functionality of the forums, etc.


Trust me. The Modcast will make it's presence well known when it's time arrives. That might just be awhile, though.

[b4i7]

LIES OMEGA DOESNT HAVE A LIFE...HE HAS A WOW ACCOUNT :P


just messin omega....cant wait to see where this project goes!

[Omega]

Oh hey.

If any of you have suggestions, e-mail them to omega@thebestcasescenario.com. Fresh, new opinions on different aspects of the modcast could very well change the whole structure of it, mainly because the angle me and Jon have been taking could differ from some of your ideas.


Don't be shy, you too could help TBCS. ;)

[jdbnsn]

We are rounding third base and are close to posting the first ever Modcast. Omega and Eclecticos are producing the material and are doing a great job. If you have ideas for content let me or one of them know and we'll take it into consideration. If your project stands out, we'll make you famous.

[Omega]

Basically what Jon said, shoot any of us (Me, Eck or Jon) a PM or email (Me and Jon have TBCS email addresses, jon's is jdbnsn@thebestcasescenario.com obviously, mine is in the post above Jon's).

Right now, We really are open to ideas.

But as Jon said, we're also very close to releasing the first ever Modcast.



All we really need to do honestly is record the script and do some audio/video editing. The first episode should be released sometime this week or early next week. Stay tuned. ;)

[b4i7]

cant wait to see/ hear it.... sounds like it will be a cool idea!

[rendermandan]

sounds fun, what can I do besides sit idle and be amazed?

[Omega]

Well, you could help us write scripts, do website design, logo design, a whole bunch of other stuff that I probably can't think of right now.

[Omega]

*whistles*

So, ladies and gents, how are you all?

[b4i7]

doin good how bout you omega?

how is this thing coming along?

[Bucko]

It's getting there...

[jdbnsn]

you will see very soon

[Omega]

I'm pretty good and that's information that if I were to disclose, Paul would end up dremeling BOTH of our faces in. ;)

You'll find out eventually. I just wanted to bump this thread so that people could talk about or comment on the modcast/give us ideas or whatnot.

[Scotty]

Still need logo/graphics designs?

[Elenril]

Now we have TWO Praecorians plus Jon, I reckon we have images under control.

The Modcast is looking great, you guys are in for a real treat :D

[Scotty]

:( I wanted to help...


*sulks*

[DaveW]

I wanted to help...

That floor needs a moppin' boy. Second cupboard on right. Hop to it!

Let it not be said that i'm not fair! ;) :p

-Dave

[Scotty]

you're taking this out on me because of my location aren't you.

[DaveW]

You bet. :p

Keep moppin sonnyjim...ye missed a bit. :D

-Dave

[Scotty]

*throws wet mop and sponges at Dave*

*followed by bucket of water*

*ties Dave up*

ha :p

[DaveW]

You wish.

*flexes powerful Scottish muscles, breaks free of bonds with Ease*

Anyway, enough of this. Keep this thread on track. ;)

-Dave

[Scotty]

Pfft, you started it...

And all i wanted was to help :(

[DaveW]

It's cool man, I think everything is under control. Too many cooks spoil the broth, as we all know.

-Dave

[Scotty]

Well if it goes wrong, then im blaming you.

[DaveW]

That's Fine. I'll blame...whichever sucker posts number 37 in this thread.

-Dave

[Killdrath]

That's Fine. I'll blame...whichever sucker posts number 37 in this thread.

-Dave

Then I guess I'll post #36, and avoid the blameage!

Sounds like this could be an interesting project. Looking forward to it.

[Bucko]

Fine, blame me.

[Scotty]

Edit: Fine then Bucko steal my post. Il blame you and dave then

[Bucko]

Why are you to blame Scotty?

[Scotty]

Huh

[Scotty]

I wasn't being a post whore. So there.

But now it looks like i am...

This is all Daves fault.

Back on topic.

When can we expect the first of the modcasts?

[DaveW]

It'll be done when it's done!

-Dave

[Omega]

Wow, I go to sleep and this thread gets WAY off track.

As all the other staff have said, The modcast will be done when it's done/soon enough.

[jdbnsn]

Wow, I go to sleep and this thread gets WAY off track.



I'll say, where the hell did all that ****e come from? Anyway, we hope to have it up sometime this week, notice I used the term "hope".

Jon

[Omega]

*whistles*

So, uh, yeah, how have all of you guy's days been? I've had a good one. =D

Booya! The Modcast is in the house! With lots of hard work and repetition we have finally got this puppy on it's feet. We will be continously improving it to the best of our abilities as we are learning in the process. Click the pic to jump to the front page and see this first Modcast ever! Some credit needs to be given here; Eclecticos handled the flash from a program he had never used before and learned on the spot, Omega is our voice of TBCS and re-recorded over and over until it was done, Elenril whipped up the top notch graphics for our display, imagispire is working on some future episode graphics, and Luke122 for producing lots of cool soundtracks for us to use. TBCS loves ya folks and thanks for all of the hard work!!!

[simon275]

Nice job guys.

Will the audio be available separately so I can listen to it and future ep's on my Creative mp3 player like other podcasts out there on the net?

[jdbnsn]

Yes, we are probably going to start producing both.

[simon275]

Cheers for that. As I have a two long bus trips a day and to pass the time I listen to podcasts.

[Eclecticos]

w00t! I finally made the homepage with something!
I'm jumping around like a little kid ova' here :D

I hope you all enjoy it!

[Spawn-Inc]

awesome, sounded great guys!

[Omega]

In fact, I will be uploading (Once I get to my main PC!) a copy of the Modcast EP1 MP3.

So, what do you all think? =D It was a long time in the making, but I'd have to say it's worth it. =D

[Zephik]

Dude! THAT WAS AWESOME!

lol I don't know what else to say, what else IS there to say? Well done guys! That turned out so well!

It will be interesting to see where this goes in the future. Haha, I can just imagine omega sitting at a desk with "guest star" Paul Capello and other forum members. Maybe something like "Attack of the Show!". Now that would be crazy! ...woah... can you imagine what it would be like if this somehow evolved into a G4 TV show? or maybe have it played through a G4 TV show? That would be so cool...

[DaveW]

That would be so cool...

We're waaay cooler. :p

-Dave

[SgtM]

I've GOTTA get the comptuer setup at the new house. (can't access the modcast from work). Looking forward to it guys!

[.Maleficus.]

NOICE! That was awesome! Omega you sound just like a kid I used to know! Man that was cool.... I can't wait till the upcoming Modcasts...

[Crimson Sky]

Excellent work team!!! Omega you did good, and I'm sure it will get better from here!

[Omega]

Well things can only get better from here, better quality audio, Imagispire made a bitchin' frame for the modcast, maybe doing an interview or something for the next one...

Stay Tuned, TBCS.

[Luke122]

Sweeeeeeet... glad to see that it came together so well!

I'm already putting together some more ideas for music for the next one! :D

[SgtM]

I finally got a chance to check it out today. Uber sweet! +rep to all involved.

[SgtM]

HEy, justout of curiosity, what program did you guys use to put together the flash part of it?

-Jeremy

That's actually very easily done with a Flash program I've used called Swish. It's a bit more complicated with actual Flash though.

[jdbnsn]

We used a program called Wondershare, it's a Flash slideshow builder that so far has been pretty effective. Eclecticos knows alot more about it than I do, but in a relatively short period of time he had a good handle on how to use it. Of course, he could just be a genius ;)

[Elenril]

Heh, this is so exciting! You did a GREAT job Omega and Eclecticos! I can't wait to see what you (we?) can get together for the next modcast - I've a feeling it's only going to get better from here.

[Omega]

I figure I might as well say this before I get like a billion PM's asking me what happened.

I've been removed from the Modcast project because I've got more important things to do in my life.

I'm not sure if he's taking my place, but Luke122 is now officially on the modcast team. So, TBCS, join me in congratulating Luke on the new position.

[SgtM]

Things happen man. Life gets in the way constantly for me (ammo can). Either way, best of luck to Luke122, and +rep to you for doing a helluva job on the first modcast.

[Bopher]

Bummer dude. Life tends to do they huh. Well excellent work anyway. I really like it. +rep for the work man.

[jdbnsn]

Episode 2


http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/jdbnsn/Modcast/homepagebanner.png (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/TBCS_Group/Eclecticos/Modcast2.swf)

Great job to Eclecticos and Luke122!!!

[calumc]

pretty good!

[SgtM]

Excellent second edition guys. Bravo!

[Omega]

Not bad. I think the music in the background was kind of whimsical (for lack of a better word), but the sound quality has improved, and all around it's looking good.

[rendermandan]

Nice Episode. I think it was better than the first. except for one small thing. The music was just a little too loud and it made it hard to hear your voice at some points. other than that, it was excellent!

[jdbnsn]

Thanks for the input fellas, that'll help us continue to refine the quality.

[XcOM]

nice work, very well done

[Zephik]

The Modcast is Now available on Revver.Com Click Here (http://www.revver.com/u/TBCSModcast/)

Oh man! I totally missed episode three! *smacks forehead*


Here (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/TBCS_Group/Eclecticos/matrix/matrix.swf) is the Promo of the New Modcasts!

That was really cool. It had a very Rez feel to it. Maybe a bit too long though, but still very cool and really not that long when you think about it.

.....
Just finished watching Episode Three. Best episode yet! Very well done Luke122! You are perfect for the modcast part. :) ...nice Schwarzenegger impression by the way. haha ;)

[noopypoop]

Wow, how the hell did you make those intros?

[Zephik]

Wow, how the hell did you make those intros?

With the blood, sweat and tears of our wonderfully dedicated TBCS crew. Well, maybe with a little bit of magic fairy dust as well, just to give it that extra pizazz. :p

That last one was very cool, it was definitely top notch work! Good job!

/me goes to find a nice open source video producer


anyone know any good ones with an interppase like microsoft movie maker?

[FrooP]

sony vegas and adobe after effects have both 30 days trial versions ;)

[Omega]

In modcast #3 there's a clicking noise in the background and it's only interrupted when there's a gap in audio sections. kind of annoying, really.

[Omega]

Strange. .It Plays just fine for me. I do hear a little background noise tho.

TBCS Promo (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/TBCS_Group/Eclecticos/thematrix/thematrix.swf). Check it Out!

Never said it was loud. It's just this little clicking. You have to listen for it, and it's really obvious that it's there when it goes from recording to dead air.

[Eclecticos]

I don't make the recordings. . . can't help ya there, Sir. :D

[Omega]

I don't make the recordings. . . can't help ya there, Sir. :D

Maybe if it wasn't in a shed... :D

It's not a huge problem. Hell, it might have even been my headphones. I'd have to check somewhere else. Or does anybody else hear the clicking? Kind of faint, Luke's voice overpowers it.

Or maybe I'm just crazy.

[Eclecticos]

Or maybe I'm just crazy.

I'd agree with this statement. :)
