    So some feedback required please all.

    I was thinking of putting together a daily vidcast called 'Basquille's Boards Blurb'..

    And it's kind of an odd idea but it would have (semi) professional opening titles, (semi) professional closing titles but the content would be me just saying (or shouting) something briefly and random from what I've observed on Boards during the day.

    The content would be something similar to Ollie Williams in 'Family Guy':

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxpqFuNy7fY


    So for yesterday, it might have been '"1 WORD: MORE DATASTORE ERRORS!"'.

    Bit of a short shelf life really but thought I might throw it out there!

    If done right it could be hilarious. It would need to be something that most people would know about for it to work well (the datastore errors are a great example of that).

    Yep, it could branch into a Q&A quite nicely.

    I had that in mind at one stage that I'd keep to a style in the vidcast.. like answering every question in one sentence or using a set number of words and it cut away instantly (to the next question) when it's answered.

    Yep, agreed!

    You couldn't just browse AH and pick a random quote by rb_ie or Pighead to comment on.. unless it was a popular thread which seems to be getting most attention on a daily basis.

    Why not just film yourself around the many tourist attractions of Sligo while dressed in a skimpy manner?

    Nah, don't have the womanly bits for it...

    We can't all have bodies like Aine Chambers sculpted exactly in God's vision of perfection!

    Nice idea, bad presentation. The content itself is grand out, but there is way too much working up to it for what was there in the end. If you cut the opening down to about the 5 second mark you're a lot more likely to hold peoples attention as the series goes on IMO. That was the nice thing about the Ollie Williams bits on Family Guy, get in make the joke get out.

    Good point Aidan.

    But the reason for the long intro was part of the joke was that it would be a semi-professional long buildup and then a quick reaction.

    But it probably did go on a bit long.

    I have to say, the vid of Basq. was made all the funnier by the super serious intro. I really liked it, we'll give it a mention on the next podcast. Good job man!

    Cheers tbh... the super serious intro was the only redeeming feature in my opinion.

    Might put up another "daily" podcast before the end of the week! :D

    My second vidcast will be uploaded shortly.. any chance either monkeyfudge, tbh, Wilburt, DesF could rename the thread to be "Basquille's Boards Blurb" (if and when he sees it)?

    Thanks in advance.

    I chose a less obvious image as the video still but YouTube say "Note: it can take up to 6 hours for your image to be updated.".

    The "You just got monkey-rolled, bitch" part was brilliant.

    Lulz, I like it.
    Monkey rolling
    is strangely arousing.
