Ok freaks - this is what's going on voice chat-wise:


The Gizmo Project!

www.gizmoproject.com

You need to DL that sucker, it's googleish and it's totally free. It works as a online phone gizmo->gizmo. That works well, no? It's got unlimited space for conference chats. I've got a room set up for random chat, five channels reserved for guild groups, and one channel that will be playing the wowradio archives 24/7.

That means - Blue Plz, Townhall, and Saturday with Athalus. ANd, if people want it, I'll run the RPing show too. XD.

I'll also try and get MMORADIO on another channel.

I don't know how well this will be for groups but it should work. ALSO - this is REQUIRED. You don't even need a mic. You can listen in anyway. I'd do music streams but I don't want the friggin RIAA raping me.

Damn them. >_>

In any case, Togo'll freak out when he gets back but, hey, that's what he gets for going AFK for a week. :)

Guys, I've got a few other things that I'll put into action soon but I want to see how well this works, first.

I'll try and get Gizmo servers up by 6PM EST tonight, I'll try and get the Wowradio streaming up at some point this week.

Remember - this is a req. You don't even need a mic. Kapeesh? AITE. :)

ALSO - Sabata you feckmonkey, STOP WINNING GODDAMN BLUES. ^_^

((Last point - I think some one was organizing nightly WC runs and (SFK, RFK?) runs? MAYBE! Whomever is doing this just let me know and I'll hook you up with a channel.))

Ok, I lied. This is the last point - Yes, you can make your own Gizmo channels but, for guild groupings, plase use one of the ones that I have. It makes life a lot easier if someone needs to contact you. Thanks, peace, rock, whatever.


Norpster is gay.

Sounds cool. Can it do buffering okay? I ask because half of the time I play is on Satellite internet and most Voice chat programs plain do not work for me. The time between packets is what makes it choke.

does this cost money because right now I have a Call Out Balance of $0.25 USD???

All OS = good. Nice find, Tink.

Oh, and Parox:On the Gizmo website:
Create an account with Gizmo Project
and automatically receive 25¢ in Call Out credits!Though I was under the impression it was free... ah. Got it, the 'call out' is to call actual phones, and that costs money. Gizmo to gizmo is free.

Also, add me to the "how the hell do I get on our channel" group.

In my opinion this program is a huge peice of kodo doo doo. It's REALLY unstable and has a few back doors into it. If it ever is totally working with nothing wrong with it... then maybe I'll try it out. For now..... I'm VoIP-less

Doesn't seem to have any problems on my end. Well, other than the fact that nobody is talking in the room. I can hear somebody playing WoW on the other end but get no response when I talk.

Hurrah, successful voice chat. Parox and I talked while on tonight :P Now the rest of you bastards need to join us!

Yay it seems to work alright ^_^. The only one thing I didn't like is that it doesn't show who is in the chat room. Well, it might show who is in the chat room I just don't know how to check...but if everyone is talking then it shouldn't be a problem.

So its a live mic system? Anyway to make it a button activated mic or do we get to listen to everybody breath?

Accidental doublepost. Ignore this.

Thokk

Yes, it's a live mic system. It's a phone, remember. Far as I know there's no button activated option available.

I bring more successful news from the front. Today, Parox, Parni, myself, Ghazgkull, and Braz ran RFC with all of us on Gizmo(though Braz and Ghaz could only listen). Good stuff, except for Parox's psychic screams. :P

Gahhhhhh! I need a mic! And I need to be on! Gahhh! :)


I'm really glad that you guys like it. ^_^

I'll be on tonight, peace.

How do the different channels you reserved work? Are they things within the conference room, or their own seperate number? I have yet to figure out how to do anything other than connect to the main conference room and talk :P
