Glenn Block Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Would love to join #newcomer #spacequestfanboy Frede and pcj 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 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"? Jess I proposed we did the planned "roundtable" discussion where we told our favorite moments from the series and basked in the glow of yesteryears. But since we got The Two Guys with us, we might also talk about the things we're most looking forward to with the SpaceVenture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Would love to be involved with this, and would love the Music Hangout too, kinda disappointed noone contacted me to let me know it might be going on!! :) Troels, contact me about this so we can plan it down the road a bit.

Cosmic Castaway Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I suppose it's time for me to break out of my shell and see what this thing is all about...Details regarding times, dates and the necessary software are most appreciated.

MusicallyInspired Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 You need a Google+ account. And a webcam. And a mic. The end. It runs in your browser. Oh there's also a Google video chat plugin thing to install. Real quick. Again, in your browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Castaway Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hm...Any option to not use my webcam? You'll pardon me if I'm shy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicallyInspired Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Of course. You can share your desktop, a specific application, or a black screen if you wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Castaway Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Well that's good. Assuming that the get-together doesn't interfere with work, school or internship, I'll try to be there. Er..what time are these things held usually? I couldn't find one listed in these last few posts, though that's probably a lack of sleep talking. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 We'll try to nail down a specific time soon. Spike, my man, sorry you weren't kept informed of the Music Hangout. Per your recent thrust, I will keep you abreast in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Procestuous Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I like the idea of the next hangout having Mark and Scott involved, it'll "make up" for me missing the Underground wrap party due to real life obligations...or at least come close! Assuming Beer is involved....Belgian beers especially...Saxo here I come! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Still trying to work out the precise time for Saturday's Hangout, but I've announced the hell out of it now. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hey, cool cats. Here's how the coming Hangout with The Two Guys is gonna go down. (Yeah, I'm layin' down the law. Respect my authoritah! Er ... sorry.) We won't know until Friday when the exact time is. The Pope and The Two Guys have to play by the convention's rules, and that means being available at pretty much all times. At most, they'll be able to join the Hangout for about an hour. Knowing full well that we usually have a lot more to talk about, I propose we schedule the Hangout time around The Two Guys' appearance thusly: Hour one: The Hangout starts an hour before The Two Guys' projected arrival. Hour two: The Two Guys join and we fawn over them like infatuated schoolgirls. Hour three/four: We sit back, post-nerdgasm, and have a chat about what just happened. For the Hangout itself, the theme is Favorite Moments. We'll be doing it in a roundtable kind of way, with me as M.C., and I propose we all think of two (2) things we want to highlight: 1. Our two favorite moments from the Space Quest series 2. The two things we're most looking forward to with the new SpaceVenture From that on, I'm sure we could have plenty of cool stories to tell and interesting conundrums. For The Two Guys' appearance, I propose we all get a turn in with a question or comment for The Two Guys -- again, I'll try to hold the reigns (and not talk too much myself in the process -- yeah, I know, it's going to be a stretch). And finally, if things start to wind down, I propose we all get out a single item of tactile Space Quest goodness that we are most proud of/in love with. By tactile goodness I mean any real-life item, like a game box, a book, a manual, last week's Twinkie Nose Tuesday cake ... Remember, there are only 10 slots available. Who's coming? Raise of hands. I know these slots are already filled: - Myself - Jess (Decaffeinated Jedi) - The Two Guys + Chris Pope - PCJ - Frederik Olsen (I know 2GFA and Pope will crouch together in front of a single camera. Not sure if PCJ will be joining us separately, or if they're going to try and squeeze in for a romantic foursome?) Frede and pcj 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Castaway Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Much as I'd like to come, I don't think I'll be able to make it to this. Sorry! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaffeinated Jedi Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Any word yet on an approximate time of day for Saturday's Hangout? Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcj Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Like the Ironman 3 trailer, we know what time we'll know what time. Chris says he should know later today when he's handed the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 The Two Guys are confirmed for Hangout at 1 pm CDT GMT -5:00. I'll start the Hangout half an hour earlier, in approximately 50 minutes, so we can get settled. Hope to see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicallyInspired Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 I totally missed this and I apologize. Had a bunch of errands to run ALL day and I completely forgot about it. Two very bad combinations. But it looks like it went great which is all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Likewise, I was working while it was on. :( We'll have to try to do something on a Sunday maybe. :) Great job Troels and co! Troels Pleimert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Cheers, guys! That was a lot of fun! Despite the late announcement and the resulting low turn-out, I couldn't be happier with how it went. I hope everyone had a blast, and I sincerely hope this hasn't been the last time we've hung out with The Two Guys. Well, maybe if we keep the tentacle porn discussions down to a low murmur next time, we'll have our shot. ;) (I'm just kidding. Bring on the tentacles.)

Akril Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Something that I should have brought up during the discussion about possible arcade sequences in SpaceVenture was this: There actually was an arcade sequence in an Ace Ventura: Pet Detective adventure game where Ace has to swim up a sewage pipe (in scuba gear) dodging just the sort of things you'd expect to find in a sewage pipe. Now that's what I call synchronicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akril Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Actually, there are mostly noxious gases, toilet paper and oblong lumps of organic material that usually aren't mentioned in polite conversation. (But also jellyfish. And pies. And fish heads.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
