Thread "Quackcast 500 coming up!!!! Massive Xoom talk?" in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

Posted at 2:08AM, Aug. 28, 2020

The 500th Quackcast is coming up on the 13th of October, 6 weeks away roughly…
What will we do ?

We've been casually mentioning a costumed themed thing and a large talk with a lot of us… maybe xoom, maybe some google hangouts thing, maybe a youtube live thing???????

What do you think?

It won't be a 24 hour thing like the few times we've done that though, that killed me last time we did it XD

I work weekends, so I'll not be seeing you. But if it's successful, maybe you can try another one in my off-season. (November - April) :)

For the 500th episode, I was thinking about a possibility of an open mic talent show of sorts, where users can submit clips of themselves performing music or jokes or reading stories they have written. For instance (this user) is really great at playing the marimba and wants to put on a mini concert for the drunk duck audience.

It would showcase several contributions from everyone who wants to contribute an audio clip and be more of a treat during the pandemic so we can all feel much closer.

A Zoom call could be cool, too, as that shows visual/video and is much more real time.

That's a great idea Kawaii! We should dome some newsposts about it :D

Tantz and Banes and I were talking about dressing as Vampires for it too because it's in October :)

That's a fantastic idea, kawaii!

I'll be around if you like :) I vote for doing some radio plays of people's comics again. That was so much fun to listen to and write for. Happy to offer a voice too :D

Up for a zoom call. Be fun to hear what everyone has to say. Be a fly on the wall.

But I'll skip the talent show. :D

Unless you want a silly emcee voice. ;)

Well I've been here for so long I guess it would be fun to finally meet everyone else on this website. I don't know that any of my talents are terribly entertaining but it's be fun to say hello.

I so wish I could chat with everyone, but that's just not possible. -_- Stupid time zones and my stupid awesome job. Lol

I'm glad for the other option suggested. Although it requires actually having a talent or something to talk about. XD I'll see if I can come up with something.

Submit your tallented tallents!

What's the time/length limit of a recorded submission? And where to send it?

Posted at 6:09PM, Sep. 11, 2020

@usedbooks you can send it to me at kawaiiidaigakusei(at)gmail(dot)com or to ozoneocean(at)yahoo all submissions will eventually get sent to Oz.

The length of time would probably be advisable to keep it under ten minutes because of file size and ease of editing it all together.

Posted at 4:09AM, Sep. 12, 2020

FIVE minutes is best :D

Posted at 11:09AM, Sep. 22, 2020

I sent a short thing to Oz. Just to have my voice in the mix. My weird awkward shaky lispy voice. Lol Hope other people join too.

(I had no idea recording myself is a fight-or-flight-inducing activity. I present presentations to crowds for a living.)

Thanks UB!
It's only 2 weeks away and you're the only contribution we have hahaha! Need to make another newspost about it I suppose.

I think we'll probably just do the cast on google stuff again rather than zoom.

Posted at 4:09AM, Sep. 23, 2020

Hey, other people! Send Oz something. I'll make you look good. No way to go from here but up.

Posted at 4:09AM, Sep. 23, 2020

Well it's not like people aren't busy on other community projects like the DD Awards or the Anthology.

Why not interview the creator behind the comic with 500 in the title? Fluffy 500? Do a race theme?

Just ideas 💡 if can't get the Xoom thing going.

The Quackcast was GREAT! Google Meet worked beautifully!
