May 11, 201313 yr Author comment_7653 Yeah, let's talk about how cool Space Quest was. That's a novel idea. :) Report
September 24, 201411 yr Author comment_11084 So, what weekend's good for you guys? ;) Seriously. Joe from the Upper Memory Block podcast facetiously suggested a Space Quest I speedrun competition, and I said it could make for a fun Hangout. (And PCJ chimed in, "Shortest hangout ever.") But I thought, could be fun to start up SQ1, run through it as fast as we could, and then spend the rest of the time catching up and chatting with Joe. I'm sure we have plenty of talk about, now that it's been some time since the last hangout. A kind of reunion of sorts. :) We were thinking the first weekend in October (ideally Saturday the 4th). At the same time as usual -- 8pm Denmarkian time -- or these times for everyone else: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Space+Quest+Superfan+Hangout%3A+The+Reunion&iso=20141004T20&p1=69&ah=4 Who's game?

September 24, 201411 yr comment_11085 I'd play, but I've not done Space Quest I in years. I'd be so rusty! Space Quest II on the other hand... ;) Report
September 24, 201411 yr Author comment_11090 The 4th is my birthday! I'm down. No way! And you'd spend it with us? That's ... that's ... I may weep openly. Report
September 24, 201411 yr comment_11091 Well if my wife will let me and doesn't have anything planned. Report
September 24, 201411 yr comment_11095 I may even be able to come, but I don't know what all is entailed...Plus, I'll have 3 kids around too, so I may be a bit distracted. It's done through some sort of Google Chats thing, not Skype, right? Talk to you later! JDHJANUS Josh Report

September 25, 201411 yr comment_11098 I might not be able to join/eavesdrop until later on in the Hangout. I hope I don't miss anything. Report
September 25, 201411 yr comment_11099 I'm glad my stupid joke actually resulted in something! Obviously I'm in. Report
September 25, 201411 yr Author comment_11100 Oh boy, this is going to be fun. Everyone have their copy of SQ1 handy? Should we make a pact right now that we're going EGA on this? Report
September 26, 201411 yr comment_11103 lol, somebody should pull a PCJ and be the only person playing the remake. Personally, I prefer the VGA remake. Yeah that's right. You gotta problem with that? Huh? Huh? Report
September 26, 201411 yr Author comment_11117 Personally, I prefer the VGA remake. Yeah that's right. You gotta problem with that? Huh? Huh? You and Fronzel should start a fan club. ;) But, to unnecessarily clarify: I wasn't suggesting EGA to spite those that like and/or prefer VGA. I suggested it because we're doing a speedrun and I would think it was important that we were all playing the same version. Leveling the playing field and all that. Report
September 26, 201411 yr comment_11127 I gotcha! It just reminds me of the last Hangout on Youtube, where everybody in running from the spiderdrone in VGA except PCJ :) Report
October 4, 201411 yr comment_11281 Ah, damn. Had forgotten all about this, and now I'm unable to join in. For everyone else, that might be a source of relief! ;) Report
October 4, 201411 yr comment_11282 What time is this gonna be anyway again? I suck at time differences. How many hours away is it? Sorry you can't make it, Frede. :( Report
October 4, 201411 yr comment_11292 I CAN'T get in! :( Edit: Well, that was disastrous. I've been trying to message you guys for the past hour and I can't get your attention. Hugely disappointing! :( Edit 2: Crisis averted. :P Report
October 4, 201411 yr comment_11294 I finally found a link where I can WATCH the hangout, but I can't seem to reach anybody in the hangout itself... Report
October 4, 201411 yr comment_11296 Well, I spent the brief amount of time I was actually in the hangout asking for the link in the Q&A section. No joy. EDIT: Aaaand I just realised that I actually was invited. It's been so long since I've been in one of these things that I forgot how they work. Report
October 4, 201411 yr Author comment_11297 I'm sorry to those of you who couldn't get in, and those of you who wanted to watch but didn't know where it was happening. I neglected to tweet out the YouTube link. Here was the Hangout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi6CsxIUzO0 Let's do another one soon. Josh Mandel sent a message saying he would've dropped in if he had known. :) Report
