Since I had a tonne of final designs to work on I decided to listen to most of the One of Us catalogue, a lot of it I enjoyed, some of it though might be wasted on me. I really enjoy ITL and The Original Gentlemen and occasionally listen to The Diecast when I need to focus on something but still want some background noise. I'm wondering though what is Digital Noise and Infestation like? I'm guessing Digital Noise is similar to the Bluray and DVD reviews Chris and Brian did for Spill, but Infestation kinda puts me off with the idea of interviews being really hit or miss. Also One of Us have released a list of their incentive packages for all paying members, which seems to be working out for them and listed it on the site:  The Red Shirts are $2 a month, Brown Coats are $5 a month, Time Lords are $10 a month and Jedis are $25 a month. I'm just wondering is how much content do you guys think can be held behind a pay-wall, seeing as they already charge for their film commentary segment Watch a Movie with Us? Seeing as RageSelect.com have their Patreon scheme, where they release three videos a week to Patrons and Korey and Martin will have Kickstarter and Paypal exclusive stuff for DoubleToasted.com, I feel that there is almost too much stuff locked out by One of Us.

In news that might shock and alarm people, it seems that Lounge Geeks are shutting down their website and moving their content (and a few staff) to One of Us. This means there will be five new shows making their way to the website which will hopefully liven up things. Here is the list as follows:Grant Davis posted:5 and Out Here is a link to the post from Lounge Geeks: http://www.loungegeeks.com/2014/07/lounge-geeks-is-moving-to-oneofus-net/ I never went on their site, so I'm not sure if I should be excited about the news. At the same time though, here's hoping they can work well with the guys at One Of Us and it doesn't become too chaotic with all these shows clashing.

Benny the Snake posted:So have they cancelled their film reviews? There hasn't been a new film review for a few weeks now. No, they've just haven't had much to review. I think the gauge their audiences interests and go from there. I also think there was a lack of new releases this week, so that might also have affected things. So how is everyone finding the new content? I'm enjoying Five & Out, caught a bit of Geeks @ College (mixed feelings on it, plus they need to stop eating during podcasts) and I'm glad The Die Cast returned.

According to Brian, The Original Gentlemen was to be released once every two weeks (fortnightly or however you say it). This however got sidetracked by a tonne of film festivals, some of which they covered (Infestation) and others they merely attended. The site has kinda weigned on content recently, not only with film reviews. The fact that Korey and Martin can cover 3+ movies a week versus a team of 4-5 reviewers who seem to be struggling to get out two reviews a week is kinda shocking. Hopefully they'll have a three part Blue Christmas episode to make up for it.

Yeah, Jason basically was burned out from work and needed a break to work on his writing and other projects, but he'll be back every once in a while.

I seem to recall that in a review a week or so ago that Chris had said that they were going to get back to The Original Gentlemen stuff soon enough. They are currently doing a daily news show for subscribers only which is hosted by Brian and Chris. I haven't gotten to hear it yet so I'm not sure how good it is. Speaking of daily content, it looks like Double Toasted started their own daily news podcast with Korey and Tommy, since Soundcloud have started paying out on their audio recordings, they felt they should release more content. They hope to cover only 2-3 segments each day as not to tire their audience.

There's going to be Hell to pay if they don't do the Blue Christmas special or the best of / worst of list.

The daily stuff is only supposed to be 30 minutes, the main ones will try to remain at 2:30-3 hours. Korey said that he wanted to keep things tight, only 2-3 people on a podcast, not over-saturate their audience etc.

Sorry to bump a practically dead thread, but here it goes: In news that probably shouldn't shock anyone, but still surprised me, THE ORIGINAL GENTLEMEN will now be released every two weeks as part of OneofUs.net's monthly subscription thing to all Brown Coats ($5 a month) and above. This coupled with the Breakfast Pub, Brian and Chris' podcast which was previously daily but now weekly will see the site getting more classic content. In my opinion, it's probably the right choice to charge for that content, but not to exclude the people who can only afford the Red shirt plan ($2 a month). It also sounds like things are getting tougher to manage, what with peoples changing schedules and costs.

Answering these questions as they come up: Yeah, the first episode was really just to announce their best of the year and then about the Subscription stuff. Sadly it seems like as the website becomes more popular and people get busier, some things have to be moved around. Hence why the Breakfast Pub went from a daily half hour show to a weekly show. That was kinda a gut punch for me too, though I remember Brian complaining before about editing 4 hours of audio last year for their farewell stuff from Spill. The fact that Martin has a new job and is with Korey for DoubleToasted.com means scheduling issues. I miss Jason, but it has allowed for more diversity and energy in their videos. I'd happily chuck Rageselect a few bucks a month for their extra content on Patreon.
