There is an application for new DJ's to fill in if they want a try out and it can be found here: http://www.sanitarium.fm/index.php?p=dj_app

That goes for anyone that may be interested aswell, although we already have teh Guild Wars community team, we are still looking for DJ's and community team members for other games aswell, not to mention general shows aswell

OK, guys and trolls

with the 4th year b'day party special happening, I'm itching to do a monthly Ascension show with guests on air discussing various GW aspects (economy, PvP, Guild Wars 2, etc...)

So I'm looking for ideas and what YOU would like to hear/see each month on the show, so post your ideas over on the station forum @ http://forum.sanitarium.fm/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=44

Lone, can we have a special broadcast devoted to the zoo? In fact, you might want to break this up into 2 shows:

(1) Zoo QQ

(2) Perma-zoo character discussion.

those are officially in the thread for discussion topics

maybe for the first show a month after the update, then we've had a month to get used to it and see how well it works

Keep the ideas coming guys

Nope, not that I know of

and anyway, if I was I'm sure the scary German (Martin) would let me know in his most unsubtle manor... the last time was a full blast hit of Rammstein to the family jewels...

Loved the 3 speakers, brings different viewpoints, but you need a moderator. Lower the background music level a tiny bit more, due to bad mics.

The rest was as simple as a good night

I hope I'll be there on Sunday night. I think you're a great DJ and a great host, and I was sincerely happy to see the show yesterday. As I was saying on the IRC channel, it's a bit like "hearing" Guru live, but with quality speakers and quality discussions. (no trolls

)

EDIT: when I sent the link to a German friend of mine, he used the Skype one and didn't know how to make it work.

EDIT 2: a good PvP friend ingame told me that guild-hall.net was great, is it still alive?

ok (as some have asked for clarification what the show plan is), basically this will be a monthly show, and at the end of each show mention the next months discussion topic for the forums to discuss it and get the impressions, feelings, ideas from the community to then discuss them on the next show along with the skill balances

It will change and is changing... TGH used to be the PvP forum to goto

But remember, TGH also used to be an Elite fansite just like Guru is,I dunno what happened toit, but i know the guys over there are now working really hard to bring it back upto a "better than it used to be", so good luck to them

Thanks to everyone that joined us tonight for the show, unfortunately the skill balance missed us by 4 minutes (thanks for pointing that out Martin)...

Ok, next months discussion:
ZKeys FTW! How Many Accounts Do You Have?

Discuss here and join us next month for the discussion

well obviously we're going to be discussing why people have more accounts... from old school prophecies players that had more than one account for extra characters, to newer players that just farm ZKeys

Ok, as some of you may know, we have recently been having streaming issues whilst using the MP3 encoders for the station stream...

We have since decided to go BACK to using MP3Pro (we started with it) and have since had less trouble

for those using WMP, you'll notice a drop in sound quality (sorry, Microshaft doesn't do an MP3Pro Decoder), however for those using Winamp, please download the MP3Pro Decoder from HERE

OR, we recommend Jetaudio from Cowon Media which you can find here as it has much nicer and more intuitive media centre than Winamp too (if you like that sort of thing)

Please feel free to comment on these changes if you want to know anything or share any ideas on the forum here: http://forum.sanitarium.fm/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1043 and keep an eye out here for more info on the upcoming Monthly Ascension show

Can you tell me, in all honesty - is WinAmp ok to use again nowadays, or is it still the same sack of bloated crap that caused me to sadly abandon it years ago?

Personally matey, go with Jetaudio... its smaller, has a nicer interface and comes with the encoder's for most things including video and has a much more intuitive media centre

trust me, go with that instead of Winamp (and I'm trying to arrange a sponsorship deal with them for the station right now)
