Hell, I think an official LMG Ventrilo would be fantastic for people to just be able to hop in and out and just chat whenever they are idle at their computers.

The beef I have with XML is the entry cost and the transmedia aspect of it. Nick, Minh and Anthony - message to you; start our own version of this. The entrants give these guys $1000 minimum to be a part of it. Surely LMG can muster up some international mentors for less than that. It costs too much to take the gamble. If you pay the $1000 you are not guaranteed of a winning / money making project - I think LMG can change that around. Let's call it the "Young Upstart" and local businesses can seed fund it - hell I'll chuck in for this.<br>
<br>I think "Young Upstart" should fund pure games, pure films and hybrids. Most importantly it should provide mentorship at a reasonable price that will take the entrants places and not leave them with empty pockets.<br>
