This month’s featured community site is, home to a collection of podcasts covering every corner of the gaming world.  We spoke with Adrian Pottinger (aka DJ Krome) about the website and how he hopes to contribute to the gaming community.

The Blue Skittle (TBS): Tell us a little about the AnalogHype website.

Adrian: AnalogHype is the fusion of hip hop culture, anime, and trance inducing video games. Our staff spans the entire globe and all have different backgrounds, which in turn produces unique content that everybody can relate to.

TBS: How long has AnalogHype been around, and why did you decide to start the website/community?

Adrian: Well it’s been about a year now. Originally we started off as a podcast in a videogame section of a hip hop forum. As the podcast grew in popularity we came to the logical conclusion to make a website. There weren’t many sites out that related to us. So why not create a site that we felt represented all of us well?

TBS: How does podcasting contribute to the site?  What podcasts does the site produce, and how are they put together?

Adrian: Podcasting is the heart and soul of AnalogHype. If it wasn’t for podcasting there wouldn’t be an AnalogHype. We have several podcasts; AH Radio, Fanboy Friday, our video podcast: The Trailer Park, and our flagship podcast: Underground Hype. A group of unique personalities from all over the world come together via Skype to chop it up on the latest in the gaming world. It’s a no holds barred, hardcore match of a podcast. I was a DJ for a couple of years (your baby mama’s favorite DJ) so I do the post-production work on majority of the shows.

TBS: Does your site cater to a particular group of gamers (ie xbox vs PC), or do you have community members from all platforms and genres?

We cater to the gamers that will throw a chair at you for calling them a fanboy! Lol well no, we try to stay open to all gamers, even the haters

TBS: What is your ultimate goal for the website?  Where do you see it in the next year or two?

Adrian: We want to be the go to site for original video game related content that you can forward to your co-workers and feel naughty about it. Becoming more than just a website is another goal of ours. Throwing more events and seeing the gamers in there element. We started slowly this year with an event in May at FIU in Miami as well as the Infinite Bits Convention at the Miami Beach Convention Center October 23rd – 25th with Destructoid, SFX-360 and others. You can also see some of our dirty work at the e3 Invasion hosted by AnalogHype, TheBitbag, GamesonSmash and others. The way things are looking, give us another year or two and we should be throwing events in a stadium near you!

So go check out AnalogHype for their latest game reviews, articles, or one of their many podcasts!
