What is that? Another Collectorcast already? How can it be? We have been working hard to keep things moving. And while our last two episodes are still somewhat fresh in your mind we thought it best to spend some time tying them together.
Listen in as we discuss what happens when the worlds of online collecting clash with local treasure hunting. How do the two methods compliment each other? Can they live in harmony or do they conflict with one another when combined? Let us know what you think.
And to start moving things in a new direction we discuss everyone's (and we use the term everyone loosely) favorite topic... Variants!!! What do you consider a variant? How do you categorize them? Which are your favorites? How should they be tracked here at RF Generation? It can be a controversial topic and we cannot wait to hear the communities thoughts on the subject.

Hot off the heels of the Collectorcast Episode 2 which explored our favorite places to pick up games online were following up with the obvious, the best local areas to hunt for games!
Well discuss several obvious places and explore the ups and downs of each, but with any luck well be able to shed some light on a few unexpected options that might be available close to home.
As usual we dig through the RF Generation forums and blogs since our last recording and highlight some of the best finds over the last few weeks. And WOW were there some awesome scores this time around. If you haven't been keeping up with the new posts for a while then the Collectorcast will be worth a listen to for that alone.

With all of the great feedback we received the first time around we could not resist putting together a second episode of the RF Generation Collectorcast. And we did not only listen to the good stuff you guys had to say either, so pay close attention to the new and improved audio and let us know what you think.
Last time we spoke about what drew us into video game collecting and why we love it like we do. This time well begin to explore the vast world of online game collecting. Well talk about our favorite online shops, what we think about auctions sites, what we look for in shipping, and even come to a rare agreement as to what the best method for obtaining games online is.
You can also expect us to keep things in line with the previous cast and showcase our favorite scores around RF Generation since the last recording. In addition we also take some time to thank everybody for the amazing welcome we received the first time around as it was very encouraging and had us looking forward to producing more content for you in the future.

In this episode we speak about some of the nice grabs that individuals on RF Generation made in April. Do we talk about your scores? You will have to listen to find out!
Next up, we introduce ourselves as collectors and then hit the main topic: why do we collect?

So, we made it. Our last episode of 2010 is here! We decided to do a little year in review episode complete with awards just as meaningful as the Spike VGAs! We have a little discussion and each of us has our viewpoint (as usual), but we also want your input on what you thought of this year in gaming! We didn't go the normal route of "Best game of the year", but once you check out our categories, we'd love to hear what you think about things. Did you agree? Disagree? Were we way off? Or do you have something else entirely that you think fits?

As always, we're happy to hear from you guys about topics, questions, comments, suggestions, etc. either here in the blog comments or in the RF Generation Podcast thread found here: http://www.rfgeneration.c...m/index.php?topic=10730.0
So, the first episode has been released, I'm going to be working on getting it up on iTunes for easier subscribing, and now it's time for you guys to chime in for an upcoming episode. (We have the next episode blocked out and should be recording very soon!)
What we want from you is to ask us some questions. slackur and I both agreed that there should be some sort of an introductory episode that lets you know just where we are coming from when we are giving our opinions. The time between our ages is about the same as a console generation, so while we have probably played many of the same games, we are bound to have different viewpoints on different games and topics. So, we would like to get some input from you (yeah, you, the listener!) about what you want to know about us. We'll be answering your questions in an upcoming episode. You can comment here or in the thread here: http://www.rfgeneration.c...m/index.php?topic=10781.0
Look for more episodes soon (with your input!) and don't forget to keep it on channel 3!
I just posted episode 1 of the RF Generation podcast minutes ago. Give it a listen and tell us what you thought! Your feature requests, show topic ideas, and just plain comments about our initial go are also welcome!
So... it's now been over a year since I announced the RF Generation Podcast. That went... nowhere. Again, after chatting in the IRC room again, slackur brought up the question to me about just what happened. I had nothing but excuses. It's been in the back of my mind for a long time, but the excitement that he brought to the discussion reinvigorated my desire to podcast for this site. We are beginning the framework and some initial topics and scripts now, but feel it's time to officially...
REANNOUNCE THE RF GENERATION PODCAST!
To reiterate my previous blog post on this: this podcast is for you, the members. slackur and I will be your co-hosts. We will, eventually, have guests from the community as well.
Starting off, we're looking at bi-weekly episodes, but if it takes off (and we get good at this), we may move to a weekly schedule. slackur is working on some topics for us to start off with, but we're going to have a topic in the forums to take your reactions, your topic suggestions, or any other comments you may have about it.
Hopefully, it's not another year before a topic like this comes up and we hope to hear from you guys soon!
Ideas are interesting. For those who don't frequent the chat, I at one point made a YouTube video highlighting a portion of my collection that was kept in storage to show just how much was missing from my online collection. Fairly soon after that, logical123 posted a forum post of a video that he put on YouTube showcasing his collection and his setup. That's when I realized that I don't necessarily think that I can fully express myself with text like I can with my words.
Announcing the RF Generation podcast!
This will be for the members. While I was talking with logical123 one day, I was talking about how I got into collecting and other stories regarding finds, deals, or just interesting parts of collecting. I was able to elaborate much further on this than I feel that I could if I was typing it out. I also feel that the possibility of a co-host or an interview would allow the podcast to focus on the members of the site and their collections and experiences with the fluidity of conversation and truly allow their voice and excitement to be expressed to you.
As I mentioned in the forum, I will probably do a few episodes to see how it works for you and me. I also will be taking suggestions for show ideas so that this will become our show instead of just my experimental project. I hope to be hearing from you all soon.
