Podcastle goes LIVE! Find out how to be part of the rubbish photo

Last night, I told you that we would today be recording The Podcastle, Destructoid's Euro-flavored podcast. What I didn't tell you (because we didn't decide it until about twenty minutes ago) is that The Podcastle is going to be a LIVE recording. Yes, YOU can join the Podcastle gang and not only listen in, but participate in a live Skypecast show. If it goes well, it may prove to be the future of Podcastle, so muck in and help out.

If you have a copy of Skype and want to be part of the potential call-in audience, simply clicky-click this link right here and join the Skypecast. Do it, or we will kill your mum.

Note: Okay, to cut down on the trolls and spam that appeared roughly one minute before we tried to set this idea up, we need to know who is worth having on the show. We're going to use IRC to orchestrate things, so please get into IRC and then share your Skype name there so we can moderate more efficiently. May God have mercy on us.

I'm at work :(. IT thinks Skype is a hacker's tool. I wish I was joking.

Will we still be able to download the episode like usual if we can't participate in this weeks extravaganza?

Wait, are you going to let everyone else talk? Because that would suck. I listen to hear YOU GUYS, not the community. :(

Disclaimer for Macfags like myself:

You cannot join the Skypecast thing. Instead, it should make you open up Skype and connect you as though it were a regular conference call. You can still participate, Wardrox just has to move you up in ranking so you can talk at his discretion, so quit bitching and just wait.

I'd like to join in but I'm scared I will have nothing to say and will be ridiculed for it. That's possibly your intention for the entire show, come to think of it.

I wish I wasn't actually working these days so that I could join the fun. I love that no matter how much we advance technology, we always fall back on the ol' stand-bys like IRC.

There's still nothing better than IRC for text chat for some reason, HP :)

Thanks for destroying IRC instead of the cblogs for a change btw!

Also at work at the moment. I do have Skype at -home- but the Podcastle will probably be finished in the next hour.

Dammit! I always catch these things too late, that'll teach me for spending time playing games instead of trolling the innernets all day.

Fucking Skype. I ain't got it. Fuck all of you.

You know what Jim, first time it will work a treat, people will be naive and virgins to it all. Next thing you know, everyone is just on there to try and get famous - singing for a record contract and doing their best to sound like they are sexy.

It's gonna be like how Big Brother went down hill I tells ya!
