So an idea that was posted in the post roos post game thread that started off as lolz actually got me really intrigued.
Before I even consider starting to plan it I wanted to see what the overall thoughts of blitz would be.
Ok so what I am thinking of doing is some form of live reaction cast. This could be a video YouTube stream (if we get permission from @Riolio to use the blitz account and if we get all “hosts” in one place) or just get us all on Skype and upload an audio stream if we can’t get everyone in one place.
So when do I want to do it? GC game
How? Depends on the above.
I’ll need to know a few things before I start to think about putting this together.
A. Who of the blitz regulars would be interested in hosting with me? No more than say 4 hosts
B. Who would actually watch or listen live or recorded.
I generally watch the game live, and listen to whatever commentary I can find that I can stomach. Often the indigenous radio station because I find them more honest in their enjoyment of the game.
I will always watch a replay of the game unless it was an embarrassing loss that I cannot stomach sitting through again. When watching the replay I am “stuck” with whatever poor excuse for a commentary team is on that game. Would I gladly swap their commentary for a live reaction podcast from Blitzers? O M G yes.
It could be the poorest quality, most insipid excuse for a commentary in the history of the world, and I’d probably still come in here afterwards and say it improved my enjoyment of the match.
Unless it is an amazing shot of the game though, I won’t care about watching as much as I would about putting the audio track over the game - like a press red for GS option.
