The podcast marathon returns to raise money for Child's Play.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/sitenews/28313
It's all over! The telethon was a huge success, and we sincerely thank all the donors, special guests, audience callers, and fantastic NWR staff members who made all this work so well. We did get a recording of the show, warts and all, and we'll be releasing it in parts this week.
Telethon Recording, Part One (3:07:29) - MP3 or AAC
Telethon Recording, Part Two (3:05:43) - MP3 or AAC
Telethon Recording, Part Three (3:09:10) - MP3 or AAC
(We'll leave the original event page below in case you want to see how it all went down!)
We're back with another mega-podcast for charity, all performed live with many opportunities to interact with the NWR crew and our special guests. Please consider supporting this event with a generous donation to Child's Play -- all money goes directly to Child's Play and counts toward our fundraising goals. When certain amounts are reached, we'll unlock another hour of exciting live content!
Join us in the chat room while we're on air. Schedule is below the chat box. Having trouble? You can also connect with a dedicated IRC client. Server: irc.browsingtheinternet.com Channel: #nwr
JIGGAWHAT: An epic, slightly precedented Nintendo/gaming-themed live audio "podcast" telethon
JIGGAWHY: To support Child's Play, a charity that provides toys and games to sick kids
JIGGAWHO: Nintendo World Report staff, special guests, and you!
JIGGAWHEN: Saturday, November 19, 12:00pm (Noon) Eastern until...?
JIGGAWHERE: Right here! Check back for the audio stream, live chat, and donation link.
JIGGAHOW: Magic of the Internet
Here at Nintendo World Report, we've long been supporters of Child's Play, the fantastic charity that provides toys and games to hospitalized kids. If you're not familiar with Child's Play, check out the official website and listen to Jonny's RFN Special interview with Mike Krahulik, co-founder of the charity (and Penny Arcade), way back in 2007. So, when our old friend Karl Castaneda brought us an idea for doing a special, live-streaming podcast to support Child's Play, we got excited. Not only can we do things live that don't make sense in the recorded version, like real-time listener interaction, but the lack of editing means there are fewer constraints on how long the show can run. Then we thought... why not do it telethon-style, all day long? It was amazing last year, and we were able to raise over $2000 for this amazing charity, all thanks to our wonderful listeners and fans!
***If you are new to NWR podcasts, please be advised that the show contains explicit language. We're doin' it for the kids, but the show itself is for grown-ups.***

How many listeners does RFN have? I would easily say 500 at least. So everyone put in $20 and we'll eventually have drunk cast.

Actually, we only need everyone who listens to RFN to chip in $7 (right now, the last level we have is $3200).Yes but, they levels go up by $400 per hour. Hence the amount for 24 hours of Podcast.

And I am not going to start discussing RFN traffic in detail, but it much higher than the number you guessed.

Wherever it is, as long as the telethon has a dedicated 15 minute hyper-diatribe of James ranting off about SOMETHING i will be happy.
Post by: Ceric on November 07, 2011, 09:39:00 AM
In the interest of being able to program exciting content for the entire event, I decided to limit the duration to eight hours with each one having an equal fundraising goal.I started with 1,000 but I figure half that were dedicated listeners.

What will I give away? Who knows! Probably some Wii Downloads again. Stupid DSiWare/eShop not letting me gift games.

On a silly note, looks like everyone is giving 1% so all we need are 86 more 1 Percenters.
Post by: nhaines on November 15, 2011, 02:15:55 PM
I donated $50, but I hope anyone who can will donate even just $5 if they can. It's for a great cause and a lot of little donations really add up fast.

I don't know how often the status updates, though... it hasn't changed since before I donated.

I picked up prizes yesterday. Last year's listeners will already guess some (most) of my donations, but this year, I picked up something extra awesome. Ideally, you should all already have it, but I'm guessing you don't. Which means you suck. This prize will make you not suck. :DIts Skylanders isn't it?

Nada. I love you guys, but if I was going to throw $70 down, it'd be directly towards the fundraiser and not as a prize. It was a little something special between $10 and $20. :D

If you don't wanna go through their 990, I already have. It was for a project for a class. I can assure you that that nearly all of the donations go straight to partnering hospitals. The little bit that doesn't mostly goes towards shipping various gifts and paying the handful of employees (mostly part time). For what it's worth, you probably won't find many charities where that much of the donations go straight to the cause.

We've unlocked "Game of the Year Roundtable" which will hopefully include Overlord in Residence Neal to put in Skylanders. We all know that Skyward Sword and Super Mario 3D Land are going to win it this year so lets hope this will discuss the games that had a chance if such strong competition hadn't come out so late in the game.
Keep it up everyone. We want to at least get to the Fami crew. Remember We're doing this for the Kids!

I forgot to mention this earlier, but this was an excellent, excellent show. The discussions were all insightful, funny and highly entertaining. It's a shame I couldn't log in and enjoy the fun, but it was fine just listening. Famicast is easily my favorite, and I regret missing Shenanigans since I had to step out and do stuff. I do hope the whole download for this is available just to listen to what I missed before
Thanks Pedro!
It's great listening to all the bits that happened while I was asleep (which is pretty much everything) can't wait for parts 2/3!

amazing job Karl!
I'm curious to listen to my call (I was excited and I spoke with a higher tone than my usual...hope I don't sound "in falsetto" lol) all the NWR guys were so good to me, and my time in Jeopardy...it was 1.30 am for me and I was sooo sleepy, thanks to the guys who understood my state and asked me easy questions. By the way, I knew the second one was Pacman Vs (E3 2003) but I got distracted by the laughter in the background, I tried to ask if the question could've been repeated for me (wanted to be sure) but they changed it. well thanks again guys, it was super fun! I hope it was funny to listen to a poor guy who should've been in bed 2 hours earlier than that :P
I woke up at 6.20am that day (I have a bit of a commute to get to work) and it was so hard but I did get to be there for the whole thing...it lasted until 3am so I was awake for about 21 hours straight!

Billy seems very angry and bitter towards the Gamecube. I guess it is easier to discuss the negatives than the positives, especially when he was so close to it.
Cannata had nothing to contribute. I enjoy him on Weekend Confirmed usually but it just shows how little other outlets actually know about Nintendo and how this attitude is not new to the Wii era.

Jim, I did not get that tone from Billy during the show. Maybe he just didn't want to repeat himself from all the comments on Weekend Confirmed that week. As for Jeff Cannata, this was not the ideal segment for him but it was the only time he was available. We had so many specialists that he didn't get much chance to participate. I will try to have him back sometime for a different result. :-)You are right, he did have a different tone on Weekend Confirmed. I think what it was was all the swearing (not a prude but I noticed it) during the segment from Billy. I think if the swearing was removed the tone shifts significantly.
I do wish Cannata could have talked more because I do enjoy his insight and enthusiasm when given a topic he is more of a specialist in. Would be great if he were to come back on a regular show.
And I want to make it clear I was not complaining, just some observations. All the segments were great and this whole show was amazing for us to listen to and we honestly thank you all for putting it together.

The GameCube discussion was very interesting, I have nothing but fond memories of playing the Cube, and enjoying the great games that accompanied the hardware. Eternal Darkness should have been a game changer, but maybe not enough people played it? It is still a wonderful game that I want to replay again.
I really liked the Jeopardy, some of those questions were pretty tough! And I loved the way everyone stuck to the end, the fatigue settling in nicely. Overall, I'm really proud of everyone for making this all possible.
And man, now I'm just super intrigued by red velvet. What could this possibly be? My imagination is going all over the place.
