Do you have podcasting experience, OP?

>>2721513
Yes, all of us have worked in game journalism to some degree and have hosted/co-hosted podcasts for a couple years.

are you american?

>>2721519
Two of us are American, one is English.

He can give us the perspective of what Goosebumps-mania was like in England.

>>2721532
1/3 isn't too bad.

>>2721517
>games journalism
Nope, see you later.

>>2721532
if you can change the ratio to 2:1 english:american i say do it

>>2721537
That's retarded. Goosebumps is an American book series

>>2721536
That's what I said TO game journalism. Quit that whole thing. Lots of great people but LOTS of shitty people and even more shitty readers.

>>2721537
OP here. I don't understand your reasoning.

>>2721548
He's one of those Britfags that gets asspained whenever American do anything

>>2721548
more like a complete lack of reasoning, OP. GBumps is american.

This sounds pretty rad, OP. I loved Goosebumps as a kid and this might be the right excuse to go back and read them along with you guys. If you keep it up.

Be sure to link it here when it's up.

>>2721548
i was implying american accents aren't listenable

>>2721559
You're really not painting your home country in a good light when you act like a bigot on the internet.

>>2721545
In that case I'll check out your Goosebumps thing. I'm just too familiar with the types of people who do "games journalism" to not be wary.

>>2721559
That's odd. I find English accents annoying.

>>2721575
OP again.

I hate Jim Sterling.

>>2721580
I hate pretty much everybody except Tom Bissell.

>Two of us are American, one is English.

Is the English guy there to prevent you two from spontaneously clapping every time you put the book down?

>>2721593
>tfw the English clap after forcing a meme

>>2721593
We only clap when someone on a stage mentions something we recognize. I saw Chris Hardwick do Nerdist Live a couple months ago and when he mentioned Doctor Who or Star Trek the theater went nuts.

Annoying as hell.

>>2721596
>tfw I'm German, but the English get the blame for once.

>>2721602
Were the people on stage or on a screen, because you clap at the cinema too?

>>2721603
>tfw Germans clap after the English clap

>>2721609
Germans mostly clap when jews are burnt to death.

>>2721624

OP again. Well it didn't take long for this thread to devolve into shit, did it.

>>2721641
hahaha, stop it OP, you're making me clap.

>>2721648

>>2721641
Welcome to /lit/. Get out while you still can.

>>2721648
Blame this fellow: >>2721593

I for one am looking forward to this. Don't fuck it up, OP and you'll have at least one loyal listener.

>We're going to dedicate our time and energy to discussing children's literature

Yeah, nah, you're a cunt.

OP, if you're gonna contact RL Stine, ask him about Haunted Lighthouse. I saw that shit like 10 times.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haunted_Lighthouse

It all depends on how you handle it, OP.
And review one of the Choose Your Own Scare books every so often.

>>2721861
That's what we're planning to do. Go through the mainline in order and occasionally dip into the spinoffs.

Also the TV show.

OP, read Blogger Beware, realize that what you want to do has already been done better than you could ever imagine (I've read every post on that site like 5 times, it's hilarious writing)

And then drop the idea. Can't believe nobody has told OP about Blogger Beware yet.

>>2721559
Most British people speak very clearly, but what about the Cockney dialect? Scots are even worse.
And when you say American English is incomprehensible you must be thinking about the Deliverance-"Squeal like a pig" dialect of English. That's only in the South, dude.

>>2721771
I never liked them, but Goosebumps was more of a cultural phenomenon. Calling it just a book series vastly underestimates it.

>>2721905
>Not a podcast like OP said
>ugly as shit site
>Angry Video Game Nerd "Funny" writing
>This guy is a faggot

Keep going, OP.

>>2721905
Guess we better shut down 4chan since it's not as good as Reddit or Tumblr too then, right? There can be multiple things with similar goals, jagoff.

>>2721925
>Guess we better shut down 4chan since it's not as good as Reddit or Tumblr too then, right?

None of those are even remotely the same thing, nor do they have similar goals. Try to join the rest of us in reality, asshole.

>>2721925
>reddit and tumblr are better than 4chan

dear lord i hate the goddamn summer

>>2721935
>spout memes in defense rather than actually say why 4chan would be better.
>Idiot.

>>2721948

Get the fuck back reddit-cunt, no one wants you here, faggot. He's right, it's fucking summer.

>>2721955
People like you are the reason 4chan sucks, not summer kids.

OP checking in again. Jesus Christ.

>>2721976

>>2721925
You're all wrong! The answer is that you ALL suck.

>>2721907
>Dedicating your time and energy to discussing pop culture.

Yeah, nah, you're a cunt.
