Put me down as a maybe.

Sorry for being absent of late. But serendipity may be on our side: This coming week, I have Thursday and Friday off, as well as the weekend. It would be almost criminal of us not to capitalize on this unique opportunity.

 

So -- anyone up for a Hangout this coming Thursday, Friday or Saturday?

Also, I may be completely out of line, but maybe we could squeeze in two Hangouts. Having another go at "Other Sierra favorites" is all well and good, but I have an itching to play some goddamn Space Quest. ;)

Hmm, I'd prefer one single Hangout, but I sure wouldn't mind starting with the SQ one. It's been a while.

 

I can attend both days, usual time. Maybe a tiny bit later if we do it on the 9th.

Let's do the Sierra favorites thing as the official Hangout; then we can do an impromptu SQ thing if the mood and/or opportunity strikes us. :)

 

How's everyone's Friday look? In Denmarkian terms, that's Friday evening.

In one word: yes.

Probably not, unless you're talking about a late Denmarkian Friday evening (I have a 9-to-5 job).

I have a 9-5 job as well, but I neglected to take into account that Friday technically isn't a day off; it's just sandwiched between two days off, so the lads at my company just let me have a long weekend.

 

What would be good for you, Sam, on a Friday? Just for reference.

Maybe 5:30 PM EST.

That's probably gonna be a bit too late for me, given that our desktop is in our bedroom and my girlfriend likes to be able to get some sleep off-camera ;) And while I'd just head into the living room instead, my the webcam in my laptop doesn't really work anymore due to driver issues...

I should be free both Friday and Saturday.

Actually, I neglected to take into account that Friday is no good for me. How's your Saturdays look?

Saturday should also be fine for me.

Good, let's try for Saturday. So far, it's you and me. Bit short notice for most people, I would imagine. Not that I would mind just hanging out with you. In which case we should probably put the theme off until next time. ;)

Saturday might be better, yes.

How does this look for you guys tomorrow?

I might be able to join in, depends on some things I won't know till closer to the time.

Don't worry, there will be no mountain climbing of any kind in this Hangout. ;)

That should work for me.

That should work for me. Is the theme of this show non-Space Quest Sierra games, or has it been changed?

Troels implied the former, but I'd like to play a Space Quest game again, so I propose we do that...

Right. Well, let's give it a shot. I found a box of old game discs yesterday. :) My laptop doesn't actually have a CD drive, but should be fun nonetheless.

:blink: Are you going to use them as coasters or something?

Well, I'm still up for the Hangout in an hour or so. After careful consideration (i.e. having a nap, waking up and then thinking it), I think we should just have a casual Hangout. Any theme is the theme you want. I'll probably fire up a Space Quest game after showing you my lame game collection I just fished out of the basement yesterday.

 

Sound cool to you? We could title this one "Shoot the Shit." No, on second thought ... ;)

As long as it's Space Quest-related, let's go.
