Could you please send me a copy? 94a Huia road, Point Chevalier, Auckland, New Zealand

Would it be possible to see it on the Internet somewhere. Like the interview with Al Lowe was once on the TechTv site.

Eigen - I know they'll have a webpage dedicated to the segment usually with a rehash of the content covered.
However, last time I was on the show, they didn't stream the segment on the net - so chances are - no... they probably won't do it this time either...

Ok Everyone:

The confirmed date for the show is Friday, March 7th.

(high overview) They want to cover:

1) How newbies can play fan made games.
2) How semi-newbies can modify existing Sierra Online adventure games for fun.
3) How not-so-newbies can create an adventure game from scratch

all in very simple terms as 90% of the computer population still don't even know where the "on" button is....

Set your calendars and check your view times for the show so you can watch the segment.

I'll be on the show for this - and I'm working on getting confirmation from Brian as well. (IM REALLY HOPING BRIAN WILL BE THERE, BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO GET TO WATCH ME MAKE A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF WHILE I TRY TO EXPLAIN THE DETAILED ART OF CREATING THE ADVENTURE GAME FROM SCRATCH..)

You guys should thank RJD. It was his idea, not mine

[Xqzzy Rcxmcq]

Idea: They should have a list of fangames currently available for download and coming out soon, and they should tell about this forum!

[Zonkie]

Yes, they should definately have links to the pages of the community either on the show or on the webpage regarding the show. Will there also be a section on AGI in the show?

Would it be possible for someone with a tv-card to tape the show on the computer and upload it somewhere? I guess there are many people that don't live in the USA but would like to see it. Sending tapes to all these would be quite a big business...

[Leo]

Is there anyway RJD could go on Call For Help too? It wa sorignally his idea, and without him, we wouldn't be going on air in the first place! Since he is pretty young (12, I think) we could show the veiwers that it is easy to use, and that anyone can do it. He is wise beyond his years, and knows SCI more than you'd think. He ahs fooled around with AGI, too, I think, but I don't know how much.... What do you think? Would three guests be too many? I think it woould make more people watch.... How bout it aaronix? Is it too late?

[Leo]

(It's Ok with him, as long as he doesn't need to pay for much if anything) (He's not that rich)

[Draco]

Man. Ryan (RJD) gets all the breaks. lol. Well, hope all you guys have fun with this. Ryan, you're a freaking genius. lol. Plz post a time (Eastern, USA) so I can watch too. Man, I gotta get into this kinda stuff. Ryan, I hope you become like that college kid that made his own algorithm (whatever that is...). "Be all that you can be!"

[RJD]

I'd REALLY appreciate it!      I'll understand if it doesn't work out, though....

[Te Rangi]

Hey, please tell them about Fuulong Moon!
send me an e-mail, and I will tell you all abouttt itt

[Brian Provinciano]

I would be very happy to be on the show! That would be outstanding!

Though I don't have a new HD yet, but since I want SS to be as good as possible for the show date, I'm using another computer for the time being. I have installed my C++ compilers and stuff and am down to business! Stay tuned for the compiler fixed SCI Studio 2.14 in a day or so. Then, I will have a new one done soon enough.

Thanks to all!

Brian - You've ABSOLUTELY got to call me at this point! I can't be more blunt than this: If you don't confirm your spot, they'll simply drop you from the segment, and that's not good!  I'm not very difficult to reach, and I don't bite - call me at work (805) 418 2144 on Monday. If you get my voicemail, simply leave your information on a message.

Or if you feel more comfortable, just email me your contact information so I can call you or pass to TechTV so they can call you and confirm your spot.

I know it seems like we have plenty of time for the details, but it only SEEMS that way. We have to give them firm committments so they can work the segment around the number of guests appearing. They need plenty of lead time to hammer out the details. Once the date is firm for ALL guests appearing, then the show producer calls to setup the content. Setting up the content is a lengthy and tedious process.

RJD - You should call me as well, so we can discuss. No promises, but if you can cover all your bases (travel, lodging, food) I might be able to convince them... You just need to realize that TechTV doesn't pick up any tabs! This would be 100% on your dime.... and I'm pretty sure you HAVE to be accompanied by an adult/legal guardian.  Seriously though, don't get hopes up, as they might have rules against 18 and under for legal risks.  Regardless of what they decide though, Thank you for coming up with this terrific idea!  If I can't get you on the show, I will DEFINATELY try to find a way to work your name into the segment so at the very least, you'll hear your own name on the show.

[Brian Provinciano]

I have emailed you my info, so you can contact me. Otherwise, I will phone you on Monday as you requested.

I am 18 and have travelled alone many times, so it shouldn't be a problem. I will pick up my tabs if need be, anything to get SCI Studio the publicity. I am greatly looking forward to this, and hope it all works out.

Thanks,
Brian
