Nintendo Direct/E3 Skype Club

[SmashShadow]

So, back when we had E3 2013, there was a group of smashers including myself who decided to watch the direct together during a Skype call. I wish we could have recorded that because the reactions in that call were the hypest and we some great conversations. But that's no reason we can't in the future. What I propose is that we organize groups for the future Nintendo Directs which we all know tend to reveal Smash information as well the noteworthy Nintendo section of E3. We could even record the calls if someone has the software. I figure it would be cool to look back and see our reactions.

Although, I'm not the most experienced person with Skype so it would probably be more of a community-driven thing.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

Can't do it Tuesday, gonna be at school.

I'm down for E3 though.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Would love to but Usteam'slag is beyond a joke anyway + i be watching it on my phone anyway so....yh...ima watch it live but its gonna be bad....

 

[EmbersToAshes]

I'm down for this, if somebody can get a working call up.

 

[APC99]

I'm definitely going to record my reaction to the Direct and upload it online.

 

[PlayerXIII]

I'm all for it as well. I'll be free the day of the direct too If someone is doing this, just message me in skype.

 

[DeanAdamFry]

Wouldn't Google Hangouts be easier for this?

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

Sounds like a pretty good idea. I'd be game for E3, but I have classes on Tuesday.

 

[Mr.Seven]

I'd be down for it. I have classes Tuesday, but it'll be a few hours after the Nintendo Direct is broadcasted. (Yay night classes!)

 

[Tornado_Man]

Won't be able to do anything of the sort tomorrow, but when E3 comes around I'll be open for this type of thing.

 

[JbrockPony]

Towards E3 I'd probably be down for that. Got class tomorrow so not for tomorrows direct. >_>

 

[Falco865]

That'd be really cool if some of you guys filmed your reaction to it, I loved watching the videos on youtube of people reacting Megaman being in the game.

 

[HatsuneMiku]

I'm available for the Direct on Tuesday, however on E3 i'm gonna have friends over at my place and party while watching it Live. :3

I have a Stereo Mix driver on my PC, so i can easily record the Skype call through Audacity.

 

[Kapus]

Would be happy to participate.

 

[PlayerXIII]

So, now with a few hours left for crap to get real, are we doing this for this direct?

 

[Tailisu10]

So.. anyone still wanna join one? I made a personal group for this if anyone wants to. Palutena supporters are welcomed. The name is Lady Trollutena btw.

 

[Chiroz]

Add me to skype, my name is everything.else.is.picked

 

[Kapus]

My contact is kapus4. Add me where you please.

 

[Zinfandel]

I want to join in! axel.k.edgren

 

[GamerGuy09]

Can we please do Google Hangouts instead? That's way easier and Skype can be bull**** sometimes.

 

[Zinfandel]

I am fine with that.

 

[Lozjam]

Can't do it for the event. I'm helping out at the drama camp, but I'm down for the other coverage, like the tournament

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

I'm up for it. What time is the E3 direct CST?

 

[Lozjam]

I'm up for it. What time is the E3 direct CST?

11 am. I won't be there, I won't get there until 2, so I will have to watch it on Youtube. But the tournament starts at 6pm for us

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

11 am. I won't be there, I won't get there until 2, so I will have to watch it on Youtube. But the tournament starts at 6pm for us

I'll be able to catch it, how long is it?

 

[Lozjam]

I'll be able to catch it, how long is it?

My guess is around 60-90 minutes. The Nintendo Treehouse starts streaming at 1:35 cst. So it could theoretically be 2 and a half hours. But I doubt that.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

My guess is around 60-90 minutes. The Nintendo Treehouse starts streaming at 1:35 cst. So it could theoretically be 2 and a half hours. But I doubt that.

I can catch as long if it's not around 4 PM.

 

[Lozjam]

I can catch as long if it's not around 4 PM.

Well if you are busy at around 6 than you will miss the tournament

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Well if you are busy at around 6 than you will miss the tournament

I'll catch on YouTube. & the Direct will be on twitch right?

 

[Lozjam]

I'll catch on YouTube. & the Direct will be on twitch right?

Yes but as a word of advice, use Youtube live for that. It's a lot better because you can pause when it's lagging and you don't miss anything important.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Hey, what if instead we did an IRC chat? That is a lot easier to set up and we don't have to invade each other privacy with webcams.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

How about a voice chat?

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

Count me in. Invite me in the Skype group @ sarki_241. Also, I'm not sure if my stepbro may be watching with me at the time. Never did this with a huge scale event before.

I also can download XSplit for audio and maybe screencaps at the least. I have a product license for it anyways.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Who here will do the voice chat?

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

I assume the OP if he abides in time.

I should also note that I am using another PC system than my laptop this time, so it's not so discreet. I'm going to try to reserve the basement from my brother so I can be alone (with you guys) during the Direct. Sure he'll be fine with it.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

So people who are doing voice chat:

@ Rocket Raccoon

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

So no-one else wants to voice chat with me for E3?

 

[Zinfandel]

I Think people prefer text chat - automatic chat is better than the refresh-dependent communication used on forums when watching directs.

I think if someone set up a google hangout or Skype group ahead of time and posted a link here and in the social thread, it would have a decent amount of people by the time the direct started.

 

[LiteralGrill]

If someone hasn't done it yet, I'll be setting up a Skype chat. just add AylasHero on skype and get in on the action, the sooner the better!

So.. anyone still wanna join one? I made a personal group for this if anyone wants to. Palutena supporters are welcomed. The name is Lady Trollutena btw.

Again I'm holding another group for the Nintendo Digital Event.
