Septagon TV, 7th Column Tv, The community show, whatever, all crappy names and I can't think of something better right now.


...

Oh yes, I was talking about something.
Perhaps you remember, about a year and a half ago I had the idea to make something like a community documentary. There was quite a bit of interest, but due to lack of time (and cash), it never came to be. A shame indeed. In any case, it's something I kinda want to resurrect (start your necromantic chanting!), but in a different shape. A half an hour show, every two/three weeks or something along those lines.

Content? As much community stuff as possible of course, but this is something I will need help with. I can fill a half an hour episode with plenty of (lame) mom jokes, but that'll get old fast. Luckily, I do have a few tricks in my bag ( A mail call/whaambulance thing for instance), but even more would be better. Got a great sticky in some crazy match? be sure to let me know. Want to show a clip of you dressed up in your own mjolnir armor? Send it in! machinima trailer? let me know! Want to show a tour of a great map variant you made? Fine by me!
All that sort of stuff are the things I welcome. And not just the Halo related stuff. In the end I want this show to be about Bungie, but just as much as the people of the community.

But what about the Bathroom reader?!
Good question. The problem with the reader was the lack of staff. And it needed quite a bit. Worse, if one person couldn't do his part, the whole progress shut down. With this show, that's not the case. I can do pretty much everything myself, and faster too. and if I can't do things for a change , it will be a short delay at worst (unless I'm on my yearly one month long vacation, but that's a different story.)

Somehow i have a bit of difficulty to find the words to explain what I have in mind (oh yeah, host segments will be done in Halo 3), but with a bit of luck I can have a pilot episode done within two weeks.

Anyhoo, I'd like some feedback. What do you guys think of the idea? Perhaps you already have something to send in?

Great idea. Theres only one thing that comes to mind really, where will you post/publish it, news article on the main page, chapter, sticky etc? A normal thread might get lost if the members are only watching it and not commenting.

I'll be sure to post it on the front page (if it gets accpeted), as for hosting the videos, I want to use Veoh for that; create a channel, turn it into a series, etc. Veoh has a darn good quality for online streaming. As for actual high -res downloads and such, i still have to figure that one out.

Your edit was at 3:43 PM. I think that that must be a sign that you are right. I think the idea is great. Something like this would further bind the community, and add interest to those who are simply perusing these pages. Something at least along the lines of a podcast that outlined cool/funny/interesting topics, and discusions. Infact, a podcast might help eliminate some of the cost involved. That would be pretty sweet to have a Community weekly update/review.

Keep in mind that it'll get more views (and stupider comments) on YouTube.

I'd be glad to help in any way!

This is a great idea. I would love to have this as a site feature. In here I have a bunch of webcam comics for starters of what I can do. If you need any help or have any questions on creating this TV show type thing, let me know. One cool thing would be a spoof of "Lazer Cats" from Saturday night Live. But with Halo 3 lazer guns. I think another cool thing would be machinema music videos. I have plenty of ideas that could work. I have some cool stuff. Let me know.

I think I remember that. Anyway, I think it would be a great idea. I have a nice mancannon stick if you want it.

Oooh I like. Anything that involves the community I will support. It's been kinda boring around here...

I remember our conversations in MSN JaF and the idea sounds prominent.

If this project does get completed and manages to get at least one episode up, it’s going to be a hilarious and yet entertaining watch, can’t wait for it.

Lately, I’ve had some extra free time on my hands so if you need assistance, you know where I am.

Halo3Planet, the place for all things Halo 3..

Need help finding skulls, make sure to go here.

I can guarantee that I will watch. Some interviews with prominent community members, and I mean the members, would be nice.

That's free, of course, if you pay you get more.

This is one of the best idea's I've heard in a long time. I would love to help out with this however I can.

I think a campaign challenge could be done each week or every so often.

There are so many combinations that could be done each week. Not so much "The highest score ever" competition, but more of a challenge to the community for any given week. Such as... Best campaign score for 2 players on Normal with 2 skulls on Halo, Best 4 player team to do "The Ark" on Legendary and so on. Competition in a fun manner can only be a good thing. It'd be fun for all. There are just endless amounts of challenges that could be done. Win, lose, or draw everyone could have a lot of fun trying a new ways to play the campaign each week.

Just my two cents. Anything I can do to help, I'll be here.

Don't send me group invites.

Oo, I would love to read some of the hate mail you moderators get.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I might get the pilot/prototype episode done and uploaded by the end of next week. But the show will actually start till somewhere in December (I'm on my yearly month long vaction this november).

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I'll give you a hand if you need it. No financial support unfortunately. I just found out my car needs $2,500 of work done to it. If you need my help I can give you my AIM/MSN. I'm on those more.

Oh, a perfect time to show off some of my map variants! ;)

I guess I would have some content for you.. Would you mind capturing some tours of my map variants, then?

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

I'm glad you're thinking about this again. One small idea i had was a gallery section showing off some fan art (of which we have about two or three threads worth i believe). I might also have some Bungie related content hidden away; might need to get permission to use some of it first though.

A slide-show of fan art would be sweet. :D
