blonde poker forum

I used to use Vent as it is known, when playing online games, Now given we have the Blonde cash games and a bit of banter in the tourneys, would a Blonde Ventrilo server be an option ?

 for the VOCAL rubdowns,

 its easier that the bloody chat box.

Pro's and cons

  I'm listening

It allows you to communicate in groups online,

Might have known the techno - unaware would reply first

Gottle of geer.

A bit like Skype?  What's the difference?

Righty Here goes

Ventrilo is a proprietary Voice over IP program with clients for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Most users of Ventrilo use a headset or microphone and use the program to talk freely to each other, similar to a telephone conference call. Ventrilo is often used by multiplayer computer game players.

 can use the software to communicate with other players on the same team of a multiplayer game. Communicating by voice gives a competitive advantage by allowing players to keep their hands on the mouse and action keys while playing a fast paced game such as a first-person shooter, particularly in team-based, tactical games. This kind of quick and easy communication can be crucial for those who participate in electronic sports. Most gamers refer to Ventrilo simply as "vent." Ventrilo is also popular among players of other genres of online games, especially MMORPG games and real-time strategy games.

The gaming instant messaging utility Xfire displays the Ventrilo server address to which the user is connected.

Ventrilo is also used as a call-in method on radio shows, and for general voice-chat.

The quality can vary but depending on your sound card, codec selected by the administrator, and microphone, it can sound good or just like a telephone call.

I think its a good idea, give it a go

I have ventrilo. It's good quality.

So it's just like Skype then.  Long and short of it...you can have real time voice chats.

MSN FTW

Its better than Skype tbh Laxie  IMHO ofcourse. I like the functionality of it and you can have private rooms as well as teh in chat private messages, you can kick people off the system if they abuse it, its a great communication tool

I only no of teamspeak thought that was ment to be best dont really no much bout tech stuff tho

Teamspeak was used by our CS clan back in my days of league gaming and is an idea I had pondered suggesting for similar reasons, then I realised not everyone is savvy enough to set up first time and do I really want to listen to Kev moaning ? ?

LOL Fair enough

Good point :-)

;thankyou;

Righty I have set up a ventrilo server.

its all there and we have slots for 25 people, if this is a hit we could ask bongo to host it on the blonde server.

Hostname / ip : vent16.gameservers.com
Port : 4464

Password :  pm me for this, I dont want it available for the whole planet to use.

Xfire is a good one you can do the same thing and it is easier to access the chatroom where as i found ventrilo is difficult to access chatrooms but that was probs i wasnt trying hard enough :)
