e, Stepto and I try our first Hangout On Air

We tried a Hangout On Air yesterday. Below is the archive of the full hour and sixteen minutes. Not sure how often we’ll do this. It certainly won’t replace the podcast, but it may be perfect for those weeks when we can’t all get together in the same place. Tell us what you think in the comments

I didn’t get to see it live, but a “video podcast” was something I wanted for a long time. Get Laura in and do this more often. Maybe do one simultaneously with the podcast recording so when you are showing each other things, we can see them too. This Hangout thing is just awesome. Definitely do more!

Major…I realize that this is off topic, but I recently got back into Game Room. Where is the support? Freezing issues suck….as I’ve spent a good amount on games. New games? I think MS is really dropping the ball on this one.

I’m curious, how did you record the video podcast? Been wanting to use G+ Hangouts for a while for recordings but haven’t found the right software to record the stream.

  YouTube hosts the stream somehow.

I’ve seen a few podcasts put together from Avatar Kinect. Hilarity ensued. You guys should give it a try

This was a good idea. I think you guys should do this in addition to the podcast. Have the regular podcast every week about gaming and then have this every once in awhile talking about anything and everything. Keep up the good work Major!

Neat. Does it automatically select the main video feed based on talking? Pretty good if so.

I love this. It’ll allow us to keep Stepto in the “family” while he pursues his dreams outside of Microsoft. Laura needs to be in on this too if she can. Just doing this once a month or so when your schedules permit I think would be great.

The thing I love about the podcast the most is the interplay between all of you. I have no doubt that’ll still happen on the podcast because E and Laura aren’t going anywhere but all of you together with Stepto makes it that much better.

I like the way you did this show, also remember you can get a mp3 version from the video so you can post it as a podcast aswel

Enjoyed that. Wondering if video streaming for the podcast is in the future.

Larry, you need to do something about the feedback on your end. It’s annoying. I don’t know if your volume is too loud, or if your speakers are active when your headphones are plugged in, but fix it.

  I think what you were hearing was bleed through on Stepto’s end.

  I want to know this too, because Major commented saying he was going to look into why some people got an xbox system update yesterday.

This is just fantastic! God, WHY did Stepto decide to leave?? Well, he better have the time of his life for what he’s putting us through

It’s amazing how well that cuts back and forth to whomever is speaking.
