Title: Tired of typing?
Post by: 77matthew on September 28, 2009, 07:40:24 PM: We all know that in Redemption in order to play the game you must talk to your opponent and for me it is difficult to focus on my game when I am constantly typing. I have found a solution!

Skype http://skype.com (http://skype.com)

On Skype you can talk to each other for free!

Here is my Skype name: matthew7785
If you want to be my contact either PM me or post on this thread

Please tell me what you think.

Votes for program:

Skype: 2

gTalk: 1

But, it would work ok. Combine it with RTS, and I guess it would be interesting.

Yeah, but I have only 3 contacts so I wouldn't mind.

You can also do a voice chat on gTalk, google's IM program.

Tschow,

Post by: Cameron the Conqueror on September 28, 2009, 09:20:33 PM: That would probably work better. I like the idea. :) You can also do the chat straight from Gmail, without needing to install gTalk the program.

Post by: 77matthew on September 28, 2009, 10:13:52 PM: So do you guys want to use that instead?

Post by: Cameron the Conqueror on September 28, 2009, 10:15:41 PM: well, not everyone uses gmail. Let some others post their ideas.

Post by: 77matthew on September 28, 2009, 11:40:19 PM: Ok eveybody vote for what you want to use.
Title: Re: Tired of typing?
Post by: Prof Underwood on September 28, 2009, 11:47:37 PM: Skype is awesome, so I would vote for that if we want something to talk to each other.

However, none of these programs will do what Hamachi does regarding helping people get through firewalls to be able to connect to one another.
Title: Re: Tired of typing?
Post by: Minister Polarius on September 29, 2009, 12:08:03 AM: Ventrillo/Teamspeak would be perfect in addition to Hamachi. When I get some spare money I'm going to buy a server.

Post by: 77matthew on September 29, 2009, 12:17:53 AM: I edited my first post to show the votes
Title: Re: Tired of typing?
Post by: 77matthew on September 29, 2009, 06:59:43 PM: Ok you guys the voting has ended (since I got only two votes) the winner is: Skype.
If you sill want to vote go ahead

Oh and Kyp Henderson I thought about it, you have two options:

1: You get phone numbers and you call them.

2: You buy a mic

Edit: If you want to do this "talk with out typing" thing, tell me your Skype name and I'll post it on the first post.

I bet Mike wants it, but voice chat is really bandwidth intensive. I bet it is either a "pro" feature. If not, that would be awesome though.

My Skype name is: hacam00

Post by: lightningninja on September 29, 2009, 09:00:37 PM: I vote gtalk. My email is ninja.of.lightning@gmail.com.
Title: Re: Tired of typing?
Post by: Cameron the Conqueror on September 29, 2009, 09:04:32 PM: We need a solution that everyone uses. Then we won't have a problem similar, but much bigger than Hamachi and all its networks.

MP had a good idea, I would like to hear more about it. :)
