Not too long ago, I wrote about a little idea I had; something along the lines of a "late night show", only about all things Bungie. As i worked on this little idea, and noticed the people complaining about a lack of community interaction, another idea sparked in my mind; Septagon TV.

A place where people can upload their videos and together form something like our own little tv channel, albeit one on the pc.
Well, since I have a veoh account anyway, I created an actual channel, titled: Septagon Tv.
It's a channel, where for now, only I can upload videos, but i can give uploading acces to other people (with a Veoh account) as well, which will happen at some point (when i come from my vacation, for instance).

I really hope you guys can use something like this, perhaps bring back some of that good ol' community spirit.

The 7th Show!
Huzzah!
note: my horribly boring and screeching voice may cause permanent ear damage, I take no responsibility. I have a crappy voice, a cold when i recored it, and a hellish microphone. I'll probably get better equipment later on, my voice will always be horrible.

This isn't the actual show, just a prototype. I wanted to do a bit of a "behind the scenes" thing, but didn't really get to that due to my upcoming vacation. In any case, I hope you will enjoy it, and feel free to leave comments and critique,just don't be hatin'. ;)


Q&A

Q: What the hell is this?
A: A channel that gathers and shows community related videos.

Q: Who creates these videos?
A: Members of our little community.

Q: Exactly what kind of videos are these?
A: It's a whole range of topics, from people showing their latest and greatest halo 3 map variants, to people posting walkthroughs of old skool games. You can even upload a video of yourself showcasing your genormous Halo collection.

Q: I think i have some material, how do I add it to the channel?
A: For now you don't. Only I can add videos at the moment. However, if you have something, you can contact me either via Veoh (you must have an account there, it's free by the way), or via Bungie.net. I'm sure we can work things out. (but remember, I'll be gone for a month, and won't return till some time in December)

Q: I'm watching one of the videos right now, but quality is lacking/speed is slow.
A: Someof the videos have a large size, you might have to download it using the Veoh player. It might also be because our videos were recorded with a higher FPS than we should have for online videos.

Q: Alright, Can I take some of your videos and add them to my own channel?
A: Depends. I would say yes, but i do want you to ask, there's a big chance that videos posted won't be mine. And I won't have any further authority over those. you'll need to ask the actual creator of the vid.

Q: Will these vids be posted on other video hosting websites?
A: Maybe. Can't tell for sure.

Q: Your jokes on the 7th Show suck. Will they improve?
A: Never.

Q: When will the actual 7th Show start?
A: End of december, or early 2008 if things get out of control.

"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."- John F. Kennedy

They folded out of the system immediately
after I received the message, without so
much as a "Thanks for saving us from
becoming plasma on Tau Ceti, Durandal".

OMG HOZT!

I loved the Recon armor segment.

I only saw my face in that Mod vs Mems game one, and it was at the end of one of the mod's shotgun :P

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Cool!
The voices were a little hard to hear though.

Hahaaha.

Great idea jaf. Next time tell me you're recording (so I don't say something stupid... much). I laughed at the recon armour part, you bastard... Monday is approaching sooo slowly.

Excellent.

The only problem I forsee is that it can be hard to hear at times. Perhaps subtitles would help? I know that means more work but I feel it would be worth the effort.

Other than that, it's pure genius. 9.9/10

Edit: I don't think the voice was that hard to hear, I liked the commentary as it is. I just feel subtitles would improve it.

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

I like how I made the Mems vs. Mods highlight reels a couple times...mostly for my stupidity. Damn Achilles sticking me after I sword him!! Damnz himz to hellz! Excellent work JAF. I can't wait for the next episode.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

That was awesome. Morgan Freeman's got nothing on your narration skills, JaF. *ahem* >.>

Seriously awesome show though. I can't wait for more.

You didn't have the clip of my sniping Zag in the face as soon as he came over the hill on Valhalla. I changed my mind... 0/10.

Great Job! JAF! I hope this show grows more and more. You should make a news bulleten on the front page of bnet for it.

  • 11.04.2007 5:01 PM PDT

You say tomato; I say potato.

The wambulance segment was pretty funny. The mom joke was well timed and delivered like poetry.

I was planning on doing that when the show actually started, this one was more of a test, as well as to see how people would respond, etc.

Maybe when you do start the show you could have a segment for the some of the community's art from the Fan Art thread.
