If I didn't have a job during the day I'd start an unofficial "Today on Gaf" PodCast and run down the most noteworthy/discussion-worthy threads with a thread overview. I'd try and get it out by 5:30 PM for the commute home.

Best of all, it'd be brought to you by Squarespace which just launched Squarespace Version 7, with responsive designs and their best feature yet, Cover Pages. Sign up today at squarespace.com/TodayInGaf to get 1 month of free updates.

That actually be pretty cool.

Have a "ban of the week" segment. Stuff terrisus/blamespace says.

Hell I'd listen.
 
I'd love to be a part of a podcast but evening is right when my fiance and I cook one of our delicious meals from BlueApron.com. For less than ten bucks you can get a delicious, homecooked meal thats between 500 and 700 calories. With such favorites as Chicken Al La King and Roasted Proscuito Con Queso, you get great meals delivered right to your door. ANd ,for TOdayInGaf listeners if you go to blueapron.com/TodayInGaf your first 2 meals are on us!

That would be amazing.
I've thought about making YouTube videos based on funny threads. A channel dedicated to shit GAF does. First video would be a reenactment of EightBitNate's legendary thread.
 
While I'd be entertained by a GAF podcast (I can't believe none of you people have made one yet) I suspect it would be more -- not less -- chaotic than the actual forum.
 
Hilarious!
NeoGaf already has rules certain members need not abide by.
Look how many pages have already been ripped apart literally deleted and members banned for asking about a topic that was removed.

Amirox gets demodded for editing past posts, rips off $10,000 from the community, does a SINGLE day in rehab and it's all smooth no questions asked, well definitely no real solid answers besides a photo.

Other guy gets banned for calling someone out for sexual harassment.

Censorship is already real.

It's not censorship. It's normal conversation whereby being inarticulate or uninteresting, get ignored.

The Amir0x thing is troubling, especially after the, "an entire room in my house went on fire." thread. Not a single thing he said matched up with fire department procedure, especially during cold weather.

I'm saying that general conversation and social cues would weed out the bullshitters, the astroturfers, the trolls, the holier than thous, the race batters, and the general idiots better than what GAF does now.

Now that I've taken two seconds to think about what I've said, that sounds like censorship, but considering that there'd be free form conversation in a podcast, I don't think ignoring or discrediting a fact, anecdote, or situation would technically be censorship.
 
NeoGAFcast would be fun
- Game news of the week
- Best Off Topic Thread of the Week
- Permaban Eulogies
- Emails
- Recipe of the Week
 
Posters who have like 10 posts a day would get way way way more annoying. Think about some of the people on this board and how often they post per day and how shitty their posts are. I dont need to hear that.
 
A NeoGAF podcast would be pure and utter chaos during discussions about video games. People would be talking over one another all the time. Discussions had about porn would -- as always -- be civil and well thought-out. :)
 
You'd lose a ton of non-native English speakers because it's a lot harder to follow an oral conversation than a text based one.

It'd be converted into every language of all time by NeoGAF's dedicated VOLUNTEEER mods.

No need to pay them for all their hard work.

There's already a couple of videos like that out there. You need to do the Beyblade thread first though.
 
Not sure I understand this thread, but I did wish there was a way to have my phone read each thread out loud to me, while I'm driving or something and can't read the thread. Voiceover can kind of do this, but not well enough.
 
Why compare mediums to others?

Each has their unique benefits.

Should movies be like books?

Games be like movies? I know many in the gaming side want this lol.
