    Lightbulb Pass the Controller - A VG Roundtable Discussion Podcast

    For those of you who were wondering "What is this Pass the Controller thing" in my signature, here is the official topic for it here

    Basically, Pass the Controller is a round-table discussion about Video Games and current events involving video games (with a mix of other geeky stuff in between) with a little twist! During the discussions, I will be awarding points to the four panelists depending on the number of good points that they bring up. However I will also be subtracting points if they go extremely off topic or make incorrect arguments, and I will also mute panelists on occasion if they start going off on too many tangents that are off topic. Every few topics discussed, there will be an elimination of one of the panelists; specifically the one with the fewest number of points. After the panelists have been narrowed down to two, we enter into the Showdown, where the two face off in a best of three topics. The winner will then be given a soap box to stand on and talk about anything that they want!

    Interested in participating? Contact K7Sniper via PM or let me know somehow.
    All participants must be 18 years or older and must have a working microphone with Ventrilo installed. If you don't have it installed, get it installed. It can be found here. I will be happy to assist in setting it up and I am always happy to help get any sound issues resolved beforehand. Also, if you say you will show up to participate, PLEASE ACTUALLY SHOW UP. All recording times will be posted in advance, and they will be all in Eastern Standard Time. Official records will be kept on my blog for easier control and recording.

    I am aiming to have a new recording every week or two depending on how many topics come up in the world of video games, and I will do my best to post as many of the topics beforehand. This topic will be updated with every episode.

    - List of Episodes & Panelists (AL members will be listed with their usernames on the site) -

    Here is a tentative topic list for Sunday's (6/26) recording.
    - LoZ: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS - The game itself, and perhaps discussion in regards to the 3DS.
    - LA Noire - Another new release. Mostly opinions on the game itself and Rockstar.
    - Hackers - Seems to be a pretty hot topic, and there seems to be a new incident every week now.
    - User topics - If you have any topics you want to see covered, send me your questions.
    There may be more topics touched on, but they would be mostly opinion-based topics as usual. Just keep an eye on Kotaku later in the week.

    So, the recording will be on SUNDAY, JUNE 26TH @ 1:00 PM EST. If interested in participating, let me know and I will send you the vent info if you don't have it already. Those who show up first will get first dibs as to being on the show.

    Either way, let me know if you are interested beforehand.

    Also, for those who do decide to give the show a listen, feel free to throw in some suggestions or comments. I'm always looking for ways to improve the show in terms of production and quality. For those who mention the length of the first one, future ones will be more along the lines of 30 minutes to an hour. First one just went long due to the rather good discussions brought up, and the wide number of E3 topics.

    Episode 2 is recorded and uploaded!
    Sniper's Edge - Reviews and Ramblings: Pass the Controller - Episode 2

    I'll probably be uploading these to youtube in the future once I get a decent logo for the show to use as a background. Unfortunately, the site I originally used limits free accounts to a 2 hour TOTAL timelimit for all files, rather than 2 hours each.

    Pass the Controller - Free Play #1

    The latest episode is posted. Enjoy!

    Ended up going with a new idea for this week as it was a rather impromptu gathering of people. Let me introduce you to Pass the Controller - Free Play! This would be more of your usual VG roundtable discussion where the panelists get more involved as they have free reign over the topics, and I get involved with the discussions myself as well. There are also no eliminations in this version as well, so if you want to hear us banter about random VG stuff, feel free to give it a listen

    Next week we will be going back to a normal episode of PTC.

    Potential topics:
    - The California VG legislation that was recently shot down.
    - EA taking games off of steam in preparation for their own online game hub similar to Steam.
    - Left 4 Dead 2 Campaign Opens A Portal to Portal 2
    - Capcom and the DS Saved Game stupidity. http://kotaku.com/5815929/used-copie...the-last-owner
    - http://i.imgur.com/wUrSl.jpg

    Next one will be held SUNDAY JULY 10TH @ 2:00 PM EST. If interested in joining in, let me know.

    Going with an hour later as I need to get some stuff done in the morning in regards to me moving later in the month.
