Should check out this program. It's a free client.
And Free servers can hold up to 8 people.
Based on our Smash Brother's thread, the idea of voice chatting was brought up.
I have a server based off my computer at home, but anyone can run a server off their computers.
i'd like to hear your thoughts about this.
I guess it's similar along the lines of VoIP conversations or Skype but with more participants.
Let's see what we can do to play around with this internet feature. :D
Can I talk even if I can't play with you guys? *digs toes into ground while looking down*
Yes. You can be the cheering squad!
We can have up to 8 people chatting at the same time.
You can set the client to use a push to talk function, or you can have it to broadcast on detect.
I think it may depend on your computer headset. Basically that function will broadcast any kind of sound detected by your mic based on the sensitivity level that you set.
So that would be the most ideal function to use if we were to be playing Brawl.
When gaming on the computer, it's easier to use the push to talk function. It's ideal for houses like mine.. cause we have birds and siblings running around like retards all day.
I'll set up a project over the weekend and I'll have about 3-4 of you sign up as volunteers to try this out. I'll have ventrilo running off my computer all weekend and you guys can settle on a time to all log in and have a quick chat. I'll try to be there, pending on the time zone and how busy I am this weekend.
I'll need you guys to let me know if you're interested so I can set up a few things for you.
I'll be PMing you the server info, since I don't want it available for everyone on the World Wide Web.
Let me know how you all feel about this. I think it could be fun.
Or it'll fail miserably like the irc channel that I had set up. Haw Haw. But you'll never know until you've tried it. It's just that we're all older now and we don't have that much spare time to chillax on the net like we used to. Growing up is hard to do.
If you guys want to, I will actually go ahead and buy a little microphone headset. <_< The things I do for the ones I love.

The Question is, do YOU want to? lol
Also, ob is away for the weekend.. PARTAY!!!!
Well, so far I haven't had anyone sign up with me or relay any more details on time and space.. lol
So I got Ventrilo, but I don't know what to do next :sweat1:
when I get a chance over the weekend, Maybe we can figure something out.
Then We can conspire about everything without others meddling. HAW HAW HAW

You're just Jealous. 8)
Jealousy? Envy? or is it that I have discovered a conspiracy! O0
These thoughts brought to you by :spam:
Your Spam is Jealous. :P
It's all the fat, it makes it very jealous. ;D
Since I still didn't really know too much about this Ventrilo we speak of, I decided to try it out. And I ended up creating my own server :P
I'll try to send a mass PM or something with the server info.

wooo Chat time with teh bob
:D Ray and Mr Lola, get your mics!
We're online right now. :D

Don't have one yet! :'(
It is much funner to text chat when it reads it to you.
You are a crazy man
So what do you think, Guys?
I definately thought it was a lot of fun.
Yes, I must get a mike!
Microsoft Sam is a Saint!
It has caused me to stay up until at least 5am for 2 days straight. And I had stuff to do both mornings (like work)!
I was working with Ray to get the ability to play music directly into it set up. I don't really want the ability, because it will clutter up the voices, but it's useful for some things (like Darth Vader yelling NOOOOOO).
There are ways to play music into vent. You may have to toggle with the input or outout functions. I don't know how to though, cause I haven't had the need to do that. But I do know that you can do that. Unless they provide it mainly for people who pay for their Ventrilo services.
Here's a Disclaimer.
I'm not really shy on Ventrilo. I've become quite comfortable with talking online through that whether I knew them in person or not. Sometimes we'd invite people in our server to run instances in WoW, so we don't have to type. So if I come off a little rude and stuff. I'm sorry, and please let me know. :)
Bob, I'll try to post my settings if you want...and we can hear your, and Ray's, funky music!
Maires: We'll be rude right back let you know ;D
Were you there when I let out a nasty burp? XD
I'm barely on the forums, nor do I say much... but I sure enjoyed the singing and squealing!
So, I went to Best Buy after my meeting. They had headsets there but they were more than I wanted to pay. The guy was telling me that I'll pay around 100 bucks for whatever type of headset I get, but for some reason I get the feeling he was jerking me around like a mechanic. Tiny mythological creature poking holes and shitting in my filters, no way, no way. Then theres also the adapter he said I would need to which was an additional 40 bucks, so if I can't find it any cheaper I wont be getting one until next month or the month after depending on how thrifty I am. April or May =O who knows which.
That sounds a bit steep. <_<;
Just get a microphone. XD LOLOLOLOL JK
What? 100 dollars? I got mine for $30 dollars at circuit shitty.

yeah, best buy is yanking your chain.
I agree.
I did not notice all of those typos. It's a little hard for me to believe I made that many typos and didn't see any of them. I'm surprised no one has made a comment about it either <_<
But yes, I'll check around at more places, but I'm poor now. Wireless mouse for the win <_<
Are you suddenly dyslexic? >.>
Who needs headsets? They're cheap up here.
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=24618&vpn=500913&manufacture=Sennheiser%20Electronics&promoid=1046
I got my wired headset at best buy for like 40. I also got a fancy wireless mouse that day. Ray=fail.
A headset would be useful but I have a built-in microphone. Though, I'd prefer a wireless headset but they shoul come with a "TWAT" warning.
I have a Microsoft Wired headset.
I got it for 30 bucks from Staples back when I used to work there. They're originally 59.99each.
I Bought 4 of them. Two for Me and Mimi.. and 2 For a coupla Guildies near by. HAW HAW
LOL Balls of Steel and Blow it out your ass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJYYpmPEDxo
What an idiot, how could she not see who was talking?
Blinded by frustration and anger I guess.
bwahahahha!
If you go to the other ventrilo harassment vids, the female voice that says, I am gonna kill your fucking mother is the same. It is for verbatim.
wait...
Lola get on Vent more often!!
I now have a microphone and no one to talk to. >.>;;;

Next time we have a "Vent" party (as long as I don't have an early morning the next day), and you better be there!
what??
Yea we stayed up so late last time. haw haw haw
I've been sick, so I didn't want to contaminate my headset.
no one has really been on lately so I just stopped logging on
Just give me a time and date! Well ... other than tomorrow night ... which is D&D night. <__<;;
Make it Thursday night. >.>
Friday or Saturday would be better for the working monkeys, such as myself.
I'm usually away Fridays and Saturdays. :P
Me and my hot dates. Wahahahaa

Not at all dude, it's just tricky to get up in the morning after staying pretty late, it was past 5 am last time!
Well...That is just plain silly. o.O
Who kept you up until that time?
I would blame Bob, but I'll blame Courtney. ;D

And you expect me to do that too?
I'm lucky cause I'm on the West Coast. :D
discrimination against the East coasters!! :scream:
Hey, don't blame me! You were not held captive. You could have left the chat at any time. =P It's not like we have to chat until the wee hours of the morning. You could always just go to bed. ^__~ XD =P
Besides...Where was your wife while you was up all night, Lola?

Someone has to be blamed, not me of course, so I'll blame you and Ray-Ray! ;)
I was smart enough to go to bed at a decent hour.
Only to get up later and rejoin the chat. <_<
What's a good time for you guys anyways?
I won't really be available for the next few weeks to chat and junk.
Perhaps, when I log onto WoW.. I'll check who else is on Vent.
I do have my own ventrilo Server that I use on occasion when I talk to mimi. Cause she's in the room beside me. haw haw ahw
woa when did you guys start this. i have a mic. not the greatest one mind you but a mic none the less
This month is not good for me either.. I am rarely home before midnight these days and I proceed to sleep immediately. Now, if I could find an easy way to get vent running on my blackberry, that would work.
Oh no! Not another blackberry addict!
Well, I could post up my vent info up and y'all can drop by if you'd like.
I use it when I'm playing WoW. haha
Tabitha is prone to cutting in and out when she uses ventrilo. haw haw
I wouldn't, you never know if some annoying idiot would just start to bug you there.

So, the ventrilo address has actually been incorrect for the past several days. The only person who noticed it was Yukio. Shows how often you bums check it out these days >_>
I wouldnt notice because I connect straight to it, so don't blame me.
I'm in my Guild Vent. XD

I'm sorry Bob, but I am going to go ahead and blame you ;D
For about the last week, the Vent server has been offline, because the network wire to my server was unplugged, and I didn't even notice it until today when I tried to open some music. And nobody even noticed. Shows how often anyone uses Vent these days :P
is ventrilo still available?
Perhaps we should hold ventrilo chat sessions on specific times. and post who's online.. if any one is.
Hey Marie, can you pm me the wow vent info?
It should be available, as long as you can get to ventrilo.seidou.org
If it's not, let me know.
