Dat Engineer Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 If we have to push it to next week, we can... but so far Sunday looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Sunday's looking hot so far. I think it's a keeper. Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 In that case, I will be there to play Leisure Suit Larry, crack stupid jokes and promote the hell out of the Space Posse. And yes, I seem to be doing the latter already. Troels Pleimert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Then, by golly, in five hours time, we shall have a Hangout. Now I just gotta figure out how to run Jones on a Mac ... ;) Might want to get on a PC, just in case. Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Oh, and - so no one can blame me for any confusion - these are the times we're talking about: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Space+Quest+Superfan+Sierra+Classics+Hangout&iso=20130210T16&p1=69&ah=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 DOSBox is cross-platform. So is ScummVM, if that supports Jones. I'll be there and I'm planning to rediscover my love for LSL5 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Well, that was ... interesting. ;) Great fun to see Chris again; Sam got the short stick as usual; Akril did her thing; Jess popped in for a surprise (and I forgot to say goodbye) ... so I think a good time was had by all, but we had a terrible time with the connection (had to restart three times) and our special guest (LordKat) was unable to join for some peculiar reason. Fred suggested we do this again some time and do it right. I agree. Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Engineer Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 I got the impression that LordKaT wasn't impressed, and that's why he didn't join. He seemed a bit disgusted. :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 On that note, can someone explain to me what the heck is going on in the YouTube comments for ? Not sure if those guys are trying to be hostile, funny or just... weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 LordKat's fans? I don't know... Maybe we should disable comments for the hangout YouTube links? Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frede Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Guess that's the most logical option. Cool fans he's gotten himself there. Disabling the comments might be a good idea, if it becomes a reccuring issue. I'm not offended by those comments, but life is so much easier when you don't have to deal with douchebags.

Troels Pleimert Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Sam: No, he wanted to join, but he was having problems of an undisclosed nature. He could watch, but was unable to join. Dat Engineer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datadog Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Those comments almost look like spam. Or somebody drunk-commenting. I'd say it's safe to delete anything that doesn't make sense. What really bugs me is that after the Hangout, all the games I was trying to install suddenly started working. So for future events, I highly recommend getting your games running before the Hangout starts. Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akril Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 What really bugs me is that after the Hangout, all the games I was trying to install suddenly started working. So for future events, I highly recommend getting your games running before the Hangout starts. I'll definitely plan on doing that next time. For some inexplicable reason, when I was running Hoyle 3, the screen was positioned about 5 pixels too low in the DOSbox window. If I wanted to move a particularly small game piece, I'd have to click five pixels above it. And now I'm kicking myself for not bringing up The Black Cauldron during the "non-linear gameplay" discussion. It's probably the most non-linear game Sierra ever made -- multiple paths, multiple puzzle solutions and multiple endings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Engineer Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Let's set February 23rd as a tentative date for the next hangout. Same time, approximately. That way we have time to gauge special guests for interest. Having Roses or LordKaT participate would be great, particularly since LordKaT is a former Subchan poster.

Akril Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'll probably be available for that date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcj Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 What's the theme of the next hangout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat Engineer Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 It was intended to be a redux of the last hangout - Non-SQ Sierra Adventure Games - since the previous attempt ended up being a disaster due to technical and scheduling difficulties.

Frede Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Hmm, tricky one. I'm somewhat game for the 23rd, but my Wi-Fi adapter is still acting up quite often. As I did last time, I can tether from my phone without using more bandwidth than my data plan allows, but I'm not sure if it's the best connection for something like this. At least, I got the impression it wasn't up to snuff last time. Make of that what you will. If the rest of you decide to do it on the 23rd, I can be there, but I'd personally prefer to wait till March where I'll have purchased a proper Wi-Fi adapter...

Datadog Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I'll try to make it in again. And not sit around playing Hoyle this time. :P Frede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
