Well, it's official. The 6th Hangout will be on Saturday at 10pm (my time), and these times for everyone else: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Space+Quest+Superfan+Hangout+%236+-+Music&iso=20121013T22&p1=69&ah=4 :)

 

Things we'll need for the Hangout: MP3's of our favorite Space Quest-themes. (You COULD also screen share a YouTube-video, if pressed. But let's try and be nice to the folks watching the stream.) When we start the Hangout, I think we should stick to music from the official games as much as possible, but we can derail into other areas as we wind down.

 

I figure we should each prepare at least 3 -- but no more than 5 -- of our favorite pieces from the original series. Also, while someone's playing a tune, it's good manners to let the tune finish and not interrupt more than the someone playing it. ;) Then, after we've talked about those, we can get into interesting fan covers or soundtracks for fan games.

 

Hope to see you. Raise of hands, how many are thinking of coming? And how many are bringing an instrument of sorts? ;)

I can't make it to this one, but are we still on for the 27th with the Two Guys?

A friend of mine just scheduled their birthday party at 6PM EST on the same day as the Hangout, and invited me to it. Decisions!!!

The 27th is a definite go. Both The Pope and Mark Crowe are ready to boogie, and we're assuming Scott is, too, because Patrick will be right there, forcing his hand.

Sorry for the double post; on a phone, but ... Sam, it's obvious! Hang out with us for a couple hours, then go to the party! :)

You still thinking about going out there in person?

Unfortunately, it's looking like real life might intrude on that plan. It's a bummer, too. I was really looking forward to going.

Will you be there in spirit, and / or on camera? Possibly in swimwear?

I'll definitely make it to the Hangout on the 27th; even real life couldn't keep me away.

Hmmm, unless I can get Google hangouts working on my desktop, I'll have to use my laptop again. Which means that I won't be able to bring my guitar and I'll also have to bring along that high-pitched electronic whine you all loved so much from last time.

Sad to say I'll probably have to bail. My nose is a haven of snot right now, so I'm not really feeling up for it tonight. Hope you all enjoy it, though!

I may have to bail if Hangouts doesn't work on my desktop. Laptop is out of use today.

This is gonna be a short Hangout, I can tell. ;) How many are still up for it?

I've got about a million e-mails to respond to (and they keep coming in). If the user account resets peter off before then I might show up just to heckle whoever else comes.

Maybe we should just hold up the Hangout for this time. I'd love to do one, but I'm feeling a bit under the weather as well, and it doesn't look like anyone's gonna come. ;) Let's make the 27th Hangout... er, I mean, the Hangout on the 27th something extra special -- and pick up on the Music Hangout later on.

Yeah, you know what? This Hangout wouldn't work without Brandon and Fred. It just wouldn't. So I'm pulling the plug in the nick of time here.

 

Please let's do this some other time, and have a bang-up Hangout with The Two Guys.

Rock on.

I wouldn't have shown up either unfortunately. I collapsed into bed as soon as I got home from work. :(

It just wasn't meant to be. It's still a good idea, though. Let's concentrate on getting next Saturday to turn out cool, though.

 

Any idea how many would like to show up? Remember, there's a 10 people limit on Hangouts; barring myself, Scott, Mark, The Pope and PCJ, that leaves just five slots. Unless Scott/Mark/Pope turn up as one guy. Can't imagine how that would work.

I had planned to have us on one computer - I'm bringing a desktop condenser microphone which should let us all participate at the same time.

Backtracking to the last hangout, something I forgot to mention was that somebody (Troels, I think) mentioned Shadow of the Comet as having a particularly annoying and distasteful maze section. As soon as you mentioned that I got the idea to play its quasi-sequel Prisoner of Ice instead of Myst/Riven. Alas, I did not have it installed. I loved that game, though. Had some great scary moments, music, and story (did I mention it had time travel?).

 

Anyway...just felt like saying that 10:40 at night.

Any idea how many would like to show up?

 

I, for one, don't want to miss this Hangout. I'll behave this time, and stay away from Google Effects. I promise!

Just to make things clear: is the next Hangout going to be the one on the 27th, or is there one scheduled to be on the 20th as well? (whatever the case is, I'll definitely try to attend the Hangout on the 27th).

The 27th is the next Hangout, unless you're in Denmark, in which case it's on the VNth.

Count me in for the 27th. Did we finalize a format/theme, or are we sticking with something general like "gawk at the Two Guys from Andromeda"?
