Superfan Hangout Thread

[Datadog]

Put me down as a maybe.

[Troels Pleimert]

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?

[Troels Pleimert]

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. ;)

[Frede]

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.

[Troels Pleimert]

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.

[Frede]

In one word: yes.

[Dat Engineer]

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

[Troels Pleimert]

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.

[Dat Engineer]

Maybe 5:30 PM EST.

[Frede]

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...

[Akril]

I should be free both Friday and Saturday.

[Troels Pleimert]

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

[Frede]

Saturday should also be fine for me.

[Troels Pleimert]

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. ;)

[Dat Engineer]

Saturday might be better, yes.

[Troels Pleimert]

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. ;)

[Frede]

That should work for me.

[Akril]

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

[Frede]

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

[Troels Pleimert]

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?

[Troels Pleimert]

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 ... ;)

[Frede]

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