I'd like to be in, but my English could be a barrier, and also I can't join every week, but every two weeks could be ok for me.

Linux user from... I can't remember, 2000 or earlier, and pc gamer from 4 or 5 years now, and my mic is a pseye (yes, the ps3 camera).

LOL the patch has made the game pretty unplayable. Everyone in the kingdom hates me and without the DLC it seems there's no easy way to get them to like me. Gifts and honorary titles only give half the points as they used to...

I already own this, and haven't played it in forever because I don't want to boot into Krilldows. Playing this on Linux would be great.

Quoting: Mountain ManYou know, one of these days, I'll actually manage to finish a game of Crusader Kings II or Europa Universalis IV before the next major patch is released. Hasn't happened yet, though.

Haha same. I still haven't got Horse Lords yet, but this one actually looks a lot more tempting.

I know I always say this, but they should just hurry up and release Victoria III. I don't care for HoI at all, but I'll probably end up buying it anyway... I swear I give these people half my gaming budget.

I'm interested in this. I've kinda been looking to get into some streaming anyway. Is there going to be an application process?

I just sent them an email asking about a Linux version haha. Guess I know what their answer will be.

I would be interested in giving it a shot :). I've been using Linux since 2003 when Fedora Core 1 came out. By day I am a coder, by night I am still a coder, and I've recently started to expand my work into games development too.

Thank you very much, Dr. McCoy, that elucidated exactly what I was wondering about very clearly.

And if anybody's interested in that, here's an interview I did with The Linux Gamer:

It's a good idea, and would love to help but dont reckon I have enough time to spare 1-1.5hrs weekly. Maybe if your ever in a bind and need a fillin.

Look forward to hearing / watching it.

Last month I switched from Debian Openbox to SteamOS on the desktop PC. SteamOS on a desktop PC is a little quirky, but overall it's been a positive experience. My current plan is to roll down my old gaming PC to Debian Openbox and having two PCs side-by-side: one for gaming and one for the desktop tasks.

Quoting: nattydreadI really wish they could fix the scaling for high resolution displays.
I have a 4k TV and can hardly see the words! I have to use a magnifying tool to use steam
(when not in big picture mode).

Not a perfect solution, but have you tried the Compiz "Enhanced Zoom" function? I made a 30s video about it a few years ago.

But yeah, c'mon Valve. That said, they've only been aware of this bug for 18 months, so realistically we've got a few years yet for any hope of a fix going by their current shameless bug fixing record.

I'd really love to join such an initiative, I even got many years worth of broadcast experience, but English is not my native language so that'd be too much of a hindrance. :(

Would love to do this, but I don't think I'd have the time at the moment. Also, I'm ugly, so putting me on camera would be a great way to scare away the audience. :O

I look forward to hearing a GoL podcast! I hope whoever ends up in it is both knowledgeable and mature - the exact opposite of the only Linux gaming cast that everyone seems to know about.

Also, Matthew... Your name sounds familiar, but I can't place it... Were you around on MUB back in the day? Did you ever visit The Mandrake eXPerience?

Quoting: TheBossI think requiring a camera will put a certain amount of people off, so we probably should leave that out.

Having Cheese on board to help out (even if it's just at the start) would probably help things along a good bit.

Camera not so much a requirement as a nice to have incase we ever decide to do a livestream of the show with some audience participation etc. But definitely not a requirement. And cheese would love to have you on! I've been doing podcasting on and off myself as well for the last 5 years or so.

I'd be happy to co-host a GOL show or two if that's of interest :)

I've been co-hosting SteamLUG Cast on and off for a couple of years now, and we found that having a pool of hosts that can cycle in and out helps make sure that there are people to fill in when availability changes (we do aim for 3 hosts per show though). Switching hosts around can help keep things feeling fresh too.

If there's any other experience or advice you'd be keen to grab, I'm happy to answer questions.

Id be intrested in doing a podcast, I would rather not do camera though, the only podcasting Ive ever done is been a guest in the podcast Chuckle bits podcast, but I was nervious and a bit awkward in that podcast, if I had a littlw while to get used to it Im sure I could do well.

I listen to a good lot of podcasts, linux wise its LAS, Linux unplugged, linux voice, linux luddites, Bad voltage etc

Gaming I listen to oh no video games, year of steam, and the podqusition,I also used to listen to chuckle bits podcast but thar was a lot less about games and is discontinued now.

It could be fun, I'd gladly give it a shot :)
I've been using GNU/Linux since ~2008, and gaming since almost as far as I can remember

While I don't have a camera, I'd definitely be up for giving it a go. I've got a decent mic, a Blue Snowball. I am a relatively new PC gamer, and an even newer Linux one. Been using Linux exclusively for about two years now, but have had a Windows computer for games for about five years before that.

This could be a pretty cool idea. I'd be interested in trying this out as well - got mic, got camera, got interest in it.
Gamer since the Pentium 166Mhz days and a linux user since, idk, 2011(?). :P

The camera part is more about if we decide to livestream the show.

I wouldn't mind using a mic, but camera...?

I could join only on weekends. I have been thinking about GOL podcast too, but finally someone realizes it :)
I might consider it since I am also gamer since ~2004(?), and recent Linux user (since 2014)

Anyway, good luck with that ;)
