New Challenger: A Brand New Show from Anthony Carboni

August 26th, 2011 at 08:00 by Ryan Vance in Announcements, Shows

To know Anthony Carboni is to like Anthony Carboni. To watch Anthony Carboni host a show is to love watching him host a show. What can I say, the guy’s a great host! It’s with great pleasure that today we announce Anthony’s brand-new show, New Challenger. This show is a great new take on the video game review genre.

As Anthony and I were kicking around a number of new ideas he had for a show, this one struck me as really fascinating. Allow a review….to be reviewed. The longer you work in media, the more you realize the power that reviewers and hosts have to influence thousands if not millions of their viewers and fans. There’s something to be said for, as a viewer, looking critically at reviews of any kind of art. It’s always in the eye of the beholder. In this case, every week, Anthony is letting his guest, review his review! It takes a lot for a reviewer to open themselves up for scrutiny and this is exactly what Anthony is doing. It’s going to make for some really fascinating conversation about the games, his reviews and the nature of reviews themselves.

This all sounds very heady, but I promise you it’s going to be a ton of fun. Carboni is one of the funniest guys I know and he’s going to bring all that humor to his conversations in the show. I know he has an amazing line-up of guests all set for the coming weeks. I’m really looking forward to seeing the ideas and conversations around games that come out of this show. I used to produce a show featuring game reviews (X-Play on G4) and I’m always fascinated to see the personality of the producer or reviewer come out in the reviews. Now, you’re going to see that viewpoint challenged (and sometimes agreed with) on a weekly basis. I think it’s going to make all of us view reviews a bit differently.

New Show From Jay Adelson

August 9th, 2011 at 09:00 by david in Announcements, Shows

Ask Jay

It is with great excitement that I/we announce the launch of our new show,”Ask Jay“, featuring none other than the chairman and founder of Revision3, Jay Adelson. Twice weekly episodes of Ask Jay will include tips, advice, and real life stories from the trenches for aspiring entrepreneurs.

I met Jay Adelson about 7 years ago. Me a small time (albeit ambitious) niche cable television producer, Jay a seasoned and experienced business man. Both of us were geeks with passions for things like modding X-boxes, building home brew computers, and attending space shuttle launches.

Our paths first crossed when the old TechTV show The Screen Savers did a segment about the inner workings of data centers and put its focus on Jay Adelson, then the founder and CTO of Equinix.

Fast forward to today, and Revision3 would certainly not exist if not for Jay’s leadership. He also instilled in me the entrepreneurial spirit in taking an idea, shaping it into something I believed in and taking the calculated, exciting risk of quitting my job to start and run a company.

Along the way, I’ve probably amassed more than an MBA’s worth of knowledge about everything from raising money, hiring a team and promoting your business, to trademarking, managing stock options, economic modeling, forecasting (and then some).

Jay is as genuine as they get when bestowing legitimate, honest business advice, and is one of the most approachable, fun, and engaging people I know. We’re thrilled to be launching this new series on Revison3 as a platform for him to lend his wealth of knowledge to all those seeking advice on how to follow their dreams.

Submit questions and learn how to turn any business idea into reality and maybe even change the world. Email askjay@revision3.com, on twitter @jayadelson, or as video comments at YouTube.com/askjayadelson. Check out the first three episodes launched today at www.revision3.com/askjay.

New Show Launch – Delicious Steak with Dan Brown

July 13th, 2011 at 04:49 by Ryan Vance in Shows

Delicious SteakI’m excited to share the news that yesterday we launched another show to the Revision3 line-up. Delicious Steak with Dan Brown is a new project from the producer and creator of Dan3.0. Unlike Dan’s last project where viewers voted to help decide what Dan should do in his day-to-day life, Delicious Steak documents Dan’s life and his constant interaction with his loyal fanbase. Finding inspiration in viewer emails, video comments, and personal invitations sent in from across the globe, Dan’s new show documents his travels and gives the popular YouTube personality a platform to discuss topics that interest both himself and his “pogotribe” community.

Originally earning notoriety for his tutorial on solving the Rubik’s Cube, Dan Brown’s witty vlogs on day-to- day life, and his fascination with cutting-edge science and tech, catapulted him into Internet stardom. Dan has built an audience who truly cares about how he’s doing and what he’s planning to do next. So the next logical step for Dan was to turn his camera back on the audience and credit viewers as his source of inspiration. The result of which is Delicious Steak.

With more than 280K YouTube subscribers and over 85 million video views, Dan is currently one of the most powerful talents in the web video space.

Delicious Steak with Dan Brown airs each Tuesday and Friday and will run approximately 6 -8 minutes in length. Whether you are a long-time Dan Brown fan or first-time viewer, I highly recommend you give Delicious Steak a try if you’re up for ‘a beefy exploration of online community’!
