Consolevania Episode One

[biglime]

Just to keep you updated on the show...

For the first show, we're shooting the following pieces. Not all of them will be used, but some will. Your opinions and suggestions are, as ever, highly valued and inevitable.

We're not listing the short comedic sketch-type bits here...we'll be using these to break up the game stuff a little. And we're scared to say what we're doing on the comedy element, because you'll just say it's all ****e. So, to play safe, we're just listing the directly game-related moments.

Here goes:

A Guided Tour of Consolevania (basically an intro to the show, with the locations that will feature within- the tiny arcade we go to, the shops we frequent, the places we go to play games and the people you'll get used to seeing...)

FEATURE: GP32

Girl Gamers- what they really like, and what they're really like

REGULAR FEATURE: CWF Wrestling

REVIEW: Siren (Japan and PAL comparison)

MASTER SESSION: Pro Evolution Soccer

REGULAR: Kids Are **** At Games(Where we play the youngsters at games and hammer them, ending the myth that the younger you are the more skilled you are at the games.)

REGULAR-A BIG HAND: Konami(A regular feature where we applaud the history of great publishers, developers, and game characters.)

FEATURE: GAMING TV- 13 wrongs don't make a right

REVIEW: CASTLEVANIA- LAMENT OF INNOCENCE

Metal Gear My Mate's House(The first in a potentially illegal series of re-enactments of in-game elements- First, Metal Gear, and a break-in to a fella's house in the style of Solid Snake.)

FORUM WATCH(What's been happening on the forums this week, with the parts of the posters being played by members of the public.)

REVIEW: BIOHAZARD OUTBREAK

DEAD AUNTIE'S BEST: Virtual Hydlide vs. Virtuoso(A face-off between games so bad your dead Auntie must have bought them.)

REVIEW: BUJINGAI

LEVEL SELECT: The Akina Downhill(A regular feature that focuses on one level of a game, one track of a racing game, and so on...suggestions for these are welcome- we might not do the downhill.)

REVIEW: HEADHUNTER REDEMPTION

COUNT PADULA's CRYPT: Our only concession towards the consolevania moniker...Christ...An interview with a 'celebrity' about 'games' and necrophilia.

FEATURE: Salamander


So, that's some stuff thus far. What we'll be shooting. And no mention of the comedy bits- you can wait and see on those...

Any problems, post and make your voices heard. Supportive chanting is good too.

Cheers.

"REGULAR: Kids Are **** At Games(Where we play the youngsters at games and hammer them, ending the myth that the younger you are the more skilled you are at the games.) "

Now that sounds like it could be comedy gold

[Roost]

REGULAR FEATURE: CWF Wrestling

Ummm...

For some reason i'm not understanding why thats in a games show.

[biglime]

CWF wrestling, one match per show, each match played out on one of many wrestling games from japan.

Basically, a way for you to see a regular wrestling gaming feature, with a particular focus on the best, and some of the most obscure, puroresu titles from the east.

[stroppa]

As a fan of all great and crazy japanese wrestling games, I salute this feature.

Be sure to use the loading screen from King of Colosseum for the title screen of this section.

Also, if you're desperately running short on wrestling games at any point, whip out the sumo games!

[Lyris]

This sounds great, especially the kids are **** at games part and JPN>PAL comparison

[kuran]

Sounds great, I must've missed your first thread, but could you please shed some more light on this show? How will you release it?

[biglime]

The show will be freely distributed to anyone who wants it. Uploaded to the web for download, and mailed to you if you like, as long as you provide postage cost.

Why are we doing this? To prove that the kind of gaming TV that gamers want to see can actually work.

There's already a digital TV channel showing interest.

[Yakumo]

Please please please sayu that you'll send copies of your show to Japan I don't want to downlopad it even though I have 12MBPS ADSL since I can imagine the download version haviung pretty naff picture quality unless it was in hi-rez DiVX format. I can't wait to see the show. It's about time game show were for gamers and not snotty little kids. Even in Japan there are no game shows at all !!! can you belive that ?? can't wait to see the "Kids are **** at gaming" feature as well. That's just going to be pure comedy.

Yakumo.

PS If this post is full of errors please blame the chu-hi I just drank (Japanese Sake miked fruit drink.

[kuran]

Well you should use BitTorrent to distribute the file, so that everyone can help carry the bandwith and increase the download speed for others.

[IcePak]

Sounds spank-tastic. Keep us updated on the progress of it.

And being able to download it is an excellent idea.

[Bleeders]

Yes, I cannot wait to download this, I am especially looking forward to seeing the Kids Are **** At Games feature.

[g-funk]

Headhunter Redemption? How you manage to get a copy of that?

[Riskbreaker]

It all sounds good about from the regular wrestling feature which seems a bit

Metal Gear My Mate's House(The first in a potentially illegal series of re-enactments of in-game elements- First, Metal Gear, and a break-in to a fella's house in the style of Solid Snake.)

This sounds like it could be quite funny if done well, its exactly the kind of thing big kids would think to put in their show. And lets face it, all gamers are big kids

I hope your hard work pays off, I'm looking forward to seeing this.

[Fuddle]

we might not do the downhill.)

yes, do the downhill
there are some great ideas there, i hope you can pull it off, because it sounds excellent.
