Me!

Thanks, Chris! Now I have officially crossed that 100 subs threshold. :)

I'm still trying to decide about my next chat. For whatever reason, the one I did on PLATO was far more popular than anything else, getting about 3x the number of views of anything else. I didn't really do anything special to advertise or promote it, so I'm guessing there was just something about the title that attracted people. I'm wondering if I might want to abandon the focus on particular games altogether and just start focusing on platforms or genres. Just not much you can really do in ten minutes on a platform, though, and I'm loathe to have something broken up into a bunch of different segments. I guess I could do a gloss of a platform and show its best or most definitive games, but I'm still thinking I'd be at too huge of a disadvantage not having the original hardware. That didn't seem to make a difference with PLATO, though, so maybe folks are okay with emulated shots and photos from the web.

What do you guys think? Which of these would sound more interesting to you:

Matt Chat #17: Mattel's Intellivision
Matt Chat #17: Ultima VII: The Black Gate
Matt Chat #17: Pinball Videogames

I just offered those up as an example of the kind of stuff I could see doing. I actually prefer the current format, simply because it lets me focus more and not be all over the place trying to cover 4 hours of content in 10 minutes. Still, I would love to be getting those huge spikes each week.
