That's right, this Thursday evening you'll be able to either just listen or participate in the recording of the Game Club segment for episode 88. We'll be talking about Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PS1, PSN, XBLA, PSP) at 10 PM EST on Thursday, June 26, 2008. And you'll be helping us test out a method we may use for future Game Clubs.

You can listen online at talkshoe.com -- http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/21140 is the show page. Register for a username while you're there just so we know who you are when you join the chat room. You can also listen via regular phone or Skype (or other VOIP software). The phone number is 724-444-7444. Our call ID is 21140.

Participating is easy. If you've registered for a talkshoe account and set up your PIN, all you have to do is call in either via phone, Skype or VOIP client--same number as above. When you enter the call ID you'll be prompted to enter your PIN (or if your PIN is the phone number you're calling from you'll just be connected right away). Then the "request to talk" button will be available. Hit it and you'll be put in the queue of callers.

Questions?

[PlayerOneCJ]

BTW yes you can just listen, you don't have to participate.

[Tron]

So how many calls are you going to take? Thanks for setting it up w/regular phones, I don't have a mic on my pc.

[PlayerOneCJ]

There's no specific plan for how many we'll take. I guess we'll just see how many we get.

If we don't get any it'll just be like any regular game club (complete with voicemails). We'll see. This is something i thought we'd try, get a little more live participation in the show.

[Sunflower4000]

I hope to be a part of this. I won't be like those folks I see on other casts and talk about something COMPLETELY UNRELATED. That drives me insane.

[GUNBLADER]

I'll join the chat room, but since I've never played SOTN I won't be calling in.

[Kirbutashi]

Just watch some youtube videos of SoTN cutscenes, recite the dialouge live, and *boom* instant conversation.

"I'm interested in this."

[Banzaiaap]

Noes! That's like 4am here! D:

(Can I listen to it the following day?

OH wait, I can listen to it on the podcast )

[PlayerOneCJ]

Yep yep. It'll be up Monday morning just like usual, edited up all purdy-like and with the rest of the podcast attached to it.

[Kirbutashi]

That was a lot of fun. We need to get more people accustomed to the software, maybe test calling before things go live, and get Phil and Greg up with CJ in the admin slots.

Also, less Guest 11's

[probune]

Yeah, that random chick in the chat was weird. She didn't tell me if she was hot or not.

[Enchy]

Guest 11 had actual female breasts, and she was brunette and weighed 175 ibs.

[PlayerOneCJ]

Yeah that was... different. I think we got off to a slightly clunky start (esp. with the technical difficulty) but once we were in it, it worked out pretty well. I'm sure once I cut it up it'll be fine.

I'd say...we'll definitely do it again.

HI I'M DAISYJAMIE!

I enjoyed chatting with everyone. Definitely gotta make this a regular thing for the game club.

[Kirbutashi]

Enchy, I bet you actually called "her" number, too, didn't you?
CJ, keep trying to stealth chat under Phil's nose.

[Rigby]

I really liked the chat. Is there anyway you could have something like that for the forum? I was impressed with the quality of the show, even though it wasn't up to par with the normal show live, it was definitely much better than other live shows I have listened to.

Yeah, it was great. I'll call in again next time for sure, I thought I had to go and dial a bunch of shit, but it turns out the pro software handles it all for you.

Next time, I'll actually have something to say

How did you discover TalkShoe? I had never heard of it.

[Gameshark]

I may have not had the pleasure of being the first caller ever, but I am the first person to ever call twice!

Should I leave a voicemail for next week's episode with thoughts about SOTN?

[probune]

Probably from Leo Laporte, he has a quote on the site, too. I learned about it from Keith and the Girl - they used it for a little while but they had too many live listeners for the service and it would periodically break.

[PlayerOneCJ]

The Unofficial Apple Weblog does a weekly "Talkcast" on Talkshoe. That's how I found it and got to see how it worked. Then I figured it would be something fun to try with a Game Club to get a little more interaction with callers than just playing the voicemails.

[JDUB X]

I thought it went really well and quite enjoyed it. I would love to see more events like this. Even if you don't record it, a community get-together like this is always fun

Also: CJ, I was only kidding when I said you "Owned CheapyD"

[Spiz]

I was also kidding when I referred to you as Christ Johnston.

[Banzaiaap]

Aawww man.. Reading this really makes me want to call in to these as well. But it was 4am here when you guys did this one.. :/
