The project of the week certainly has been tried. It usually ends up as the project of the arbitrary time period. Project of the Week Voting: THE REVIVAL OF THE REVIVAL
The last attempt was five years ago, as linked above. I’d be willing to stick banners up and run polls in the vein of that, but I certainly wouldn’t have time to do anything involved such as a podcast. I’ve got my own projects to work on.
For what it’s worth, there are many, many projects out there these days. There’s about 100 or so complete GBAFE hacks, and that’s just me going off the directory. I’m certain there are more. Factor in WIPs and there isn’t really any threat of running out of content, if you’re willing to trawl through the archives a bit.
I’m pretty sure the first (and only) FEU Direct is still on the FEU channel? It was mostly gushing about Emblem Magic, before FEBuilder appeared and completely stole its thunder. I also made a romhack promise I couldn’t keep. It’s late, but I’ll edit in the link tomorrow if it is.
As for FEE3 itself, this year it went… smoothly. Nothing really went awry. This is a good thing. I don’t really have all that much to say. I submitted another trailer, but without an accompanying release. What happens, happens.
