The next Goozcast will take specific questions from members. Post questions for us or for member interviews. Can't guarantee that you'll get an audio answer, but you will at the very least get on here on this thread.
Who is Akdar?
Goozex Forum Moderator Playing: MLB 08: The Show
We thought about bringing Akdar on the next one...but just too weird...have no idea where the direction will go with that...no offense Akdar if this gets picked up on your moon beam radar or whatever....
But maybe we'll ask via email and see what response we get.
Yes, who is Akdar would be the number 1 question asked by all Goozex members? We'd love to know more about her alien race and her space travels.
Why the 1000 point cap?
So many of us next-gen users have HD players, whether it be HD-DVDs or Blu-Rays...let's let Goozex be the first site to allow us to trade them for Goozex points. Muze and Goozex could easily adapt to this.

Seconded.
I want to know more about the gaming habits of the Goozex members you interview. What are they playing now, what's their favorite game, genre, system, gaming music (a seriously underappreciated aspect of games), and why for all those questions. Maybe go a bit obscure, ask them some questions on opinions on trends going on in gaming nowadays, such as questions about the "violence" in games, their thoughts on other art styles besides straight 3D, like 2D or Cel-shaded.
Just some thoughts. I'm curious to know more about the people I interact with on the forums on a daily basis.

What is their most meaningful achievement?
nesnerosybloc:What is their most meaningful achievement?
You assume anyone being interviewed will have an Xbox 360. Well, I guess they could also have a Steam Account with achievement enabled games, but still.
Unless of course you mean gaming achievement in general. You weren't very clear.
Oh, goodie, questions for the G-Team:
1. Could you please describe the inner sanctum of the Goozex HQ? Are y'all sitting around a 60" plasma on leather recliners playing Halo 3 while throwing back Rolling Rocks for 12 hours a day, while your butler, Alfred, takes care of recycling all the bottles, and Terrapin cheerleaders rub your feet?
2. With the experience and knowledge the Goozex team has gained over the last year and a half, is there anything you wish you would have done differently earlier in the business building process that would have made things easier?
3. What is Goozex's biggest challenge in this wacky gaming industry?
4. I get a feeling that the video game industry, like other entertainment outlets such as movies and music, is heading towards digital distributions (i.e. Steam, Netflicks, .mp3 downloads, etc.). As a customer, I like to have a physical product in hand, such as a Goozex traded video game package I just pulled out of my mailbox, not some file or a link on my computer. Should I be worried?
5. Does the G-team have a custom van, and if so, who drives it? (My guess is zannabianca.)
6. Is the Goozex monster ever going to have a name?
7. Where was the Goozex short film starring NinjaJ and seen worldwide on youtube.com shot?
8. What can I do to help promote Goozex?
9. Who would win in a steel cage match - a masked, un-named Goozex monster or Godzilla?

Yeah I was thinking Xbox 360. I have also devised a master plan to adjust for those that don't have a 360 . . . . Ready? . . . just don't ask it. Or ask it about gaming in general.
I'd love to know how you guys came up with the name "Goozex" and how you came up with the Monster and everything. I mean it's not a name that would pop into my head when I think of gaming, but now it's cemented in regardless. I was thinking maybe you were going for something like "Google" sounding or "Goose Eggs" as in 0's, but honestly I have no idea ^_^ Love to find that out.

"Goose Eggs" as in 0's
That was my original thought, as well. It was mentioned in a long-buried thread (where I asked this exact question ) that Goozex is a combination of the words "Goods" and "Exchange".
Ahhh Goods Exchange. That sort of makes sense now ^_^ Thanks Timpy, I would have never guessed that one. I figured someone had to know.
