Re: Two words "Talent Show"

Registration is open for the first-annual Leetskills talent show... register now at http://www.leetskills.net/.

There's also an official forum here on the DC forums as well.

As I'm putting it together, please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Moved this tread to LeetSkills Talent Competition 2008 and left a redirect from there to here for people to find both.

I'm in for a dramatic reading of the manifesto. I'll even wear a cape.

That doesn't cover magic, comedy, daredevil stunts and ventriloquism. Not to mention all the other talent people might have, This could include more than just art people.

I like this idea. There are so many people at Defcon with crazy talents and abilities (Deadaddict's contact juggling is badass) that this would be super fun to watch.

It would take work, but some sort of American Idol-esque screening process the day before could keep people with no real talent from doing something. There was a talent show at NotaCon that was just silly because they didn't have any screening in place.

Hi all,

I'll put together the talent show idea if anyone is interested? Likely, I'll set up a website where interested parties can apply. Probably a show about 1 hour long with 5 minutes for each person?

Any thoughts or ideas would also be appreciated.

keep the idea active and if your interest in starting such an event is genuine, drop an email to DT/Jeff. Additionally, if you will need resources on the contest floor (such as space, and access to electrical outlets, etc) then pay attention to requests from organizers like Russ or Grifter, as well as Blackbeetle.

If your events gets listed on the main defcon contests/events page for DC16, I can make a forums for its discussion in the forums contests/events area.

Last, you might find an easier time making it a success if you include members from your own DCG to help organize it. (Share the workload with your peers.)

Good luck!

played it, loved it, even got a 50,000 or whatever the perfect score is one time. something i've always wanted to know, bascule, maybe you can tell me. is it possible to "load" all the games song lists together somehow at one time? like, boot KR3 and then swap discs around or something to access the other tunes, too, without turning off and halting the action and changing everyone's characters, etc?

Nope. However Rock Band will let you do that, letting you download new content without having to buy a new game.

Re: Two words "Talent Show"

We need to have an open room for KARAOKE!

Re: Two words "Talent Show"

Did I mention I have the first three volumes of Karaoke Revolution (the game Harmonix made before Guitar Hero)

Re: Two words "Talent Show"

I'm surprised no-one brought up Karaoke?

Hell... fucking... YEAH

Re: Two words "Talent Show"

This would be horribly fun.

Re: Two words "Talent Show"

tomEE, you still up for trying this idea?

Russ, of course, I am up for it. A lot of us have been discussing ideas back and forth. Maybe an IRC or AIM Chat planning commitee should be in the works.

Re: Two words "Talent Show"

does this mean we get to ban russ for bringing up long dead threads?
