The Watercooler Gaming Podcast First Episode

Hey everyone. Let me start off by saying I've been on the tvtropes forums for about two to three years, mostly lurking. I just recently made this account for some shameless self promotion, but stick with me, I have good reasons.

It's always been a pretty big dream of mine to start up a podcast where I could put my big mouth to good use, and recently I saw my chance. With my deep investment into the Mass Effect series, I went onto the Bioware Social Network and saw I wasn't alone; other people were just as hurt as I was about these endings. Everywhere else, there was misinformation about what the Retake Mass Effect movement was about, and what we we hated. Sickened by what I saw, I decided to try and get the message out in a civil manner. So, I worked myself into overdrive with my friends Lorenzo and Michael to pump out our very first podcast episode, a special episode focusing solely on the Mass Effect 3 ending and the surrounding debacles.

Usually we'll be talking about a wide variety of topics and even reading viewer mail(assuming we ever get viewers), but I decided this had to be said now, in a special episode.

This brings me to the question you're undoubtedly asking yourself; why should I care, exactly? Well, beyond us being incredibly entertaining individuals if I do say so myself, I also humbly ask you listen to us. Hear what we have to say, and do some research. Come to your own conclusions. If you love the show, let me know. If you hate it, let me know. I want to know these things, good or bad.

I know it seems like I'm just desperate for viewers(I am), but in all honesty, there's no other fanbase I'd love to have more than a group of tropers. You guys are the best of the internet; people who love all types of different genres, and come together to discuss what you like and dislike in a positive manner. I want those people to be the driving force of our work. I want to hear all of your concerns, complaints, and compliments. I also want to be able to read properly written emails, which is a nice plus.

You can find the first episode of the podcast at http://thewatercooler.kimlongvo.com/podcasts.html (Obviously it deals with some spoiler-y stuff regarding Mass Effect 3's dreaded ending, so don't listen if you don't want to know about it. Keep us in mind though!)

Our newly created Facebook is at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hot-Water-Productions/325244850869108 Feel free to like us, and post a comment on the page. Post naked pictures if you want to, any attention is good I guess. Make sure you're sexy and you know it before posting any naked pictures, please.

Our email is at watercoolermailcall@gmail.com , so feel free to shoot us an email if you have a question, or even to tell me how cool you think I am(I'm Scott, the cool one).

The original thread I posted at the Bioware Social Network is http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/355/index/10705114/1#10719087 If you're at all a part of the movement, or even if you're not, try posting something in there. Post it everywhere! All of the posts!

But even if you don't listen to the podcast, thanks for at least noticing me. If you like us, spread the word, we need all the help(and free advertising) we can get! If we suck, let us down hard. Maybe offer me a job at your local fast food restaurant?

Hope to hear from you guys real soon. -SMG

(TL;DR-Listen to our damn podcast!)

Just bumping before I go to school. That post time limit is a killer, I tell ya.
