Me: Hey, computer. Wanna do this Skype thing? Computer: Whazzat? M: Well, basically everyone hooks up webcams and- C: WOAH! A video? Multiple videos? Streaming? WITH SOUND? M: Uh...yeah. C: *chortles* M: What? C: ohohohoho... M: WHAT?! C: You stupid child... M: What do you mean? C: Let me answer that by telling you to go to youtube and just watch any video. M: But if I do that you'll overheat, the fan will make strange noises and everything will slow down. C: EXACTLY! And that's what will happen with Skype. M: I don't believe you. C: Here's a video of that happening the last time you used Skype. Past Me: Noooo! All the videos are frozen and I can't restart!! What the hellllll?! M: Wow, you're right. C: And guess what? M: What? C: THAT WAS A STREAMED VIDEO AND NOW I'M ALL ULTRAHOT AND MAKING WEIRD NOISES AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE YOU AT LEAST 20 MINUTES TO CHECK YOUR E-MAIL! M: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO C: BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I should have acquired a microphone for later. Also I've bought beer. None of these weak ass lagers. Proper ale with flavours and ABVs that cause the Daily Mail to write editorials.
@oldhat: no need for video. This is voicechat only. So hop in. I swear I won't mock your Canadian accent. We'll be talking aboot other things.
No idea. It's Andre and Corben's show after all.
Oh, sure, leave everything for us *grumble grumble not even paying me for this grumble*
Due to all the timezone differences, (16:15 here in Brazil, about 14:15 for Americans, 20:15 for Taphead in Finland, no idea for Winther in his cave in Mars...), about two hours from now (18:00 here, 20:00 in Finland, about 16:15 for Americans) I'll be logging on the whitechapel chatroom. As you become ready for chatting live, just log in there, and we'll all trade Skype names and decide when to start the Skyping together.
I'll probably be there all night, for I Have No Life. Just come in as you're ready, leave when you get bored, and in the event of twenty people live on voicechat... I have no idea how we'll solve that one. Part of the fun, I guess!
Sound good? One hour and thirty-five minutes from now? No idea when it'll end? Probably when I and corbenfrost start bleeding from the ears?
Consider this practice for the wake of Bad Signal?
I'm six hours behind Andre. So I'll pick it up 11 hours from now on my ride home - I'm not really foul mouthed though ... I've been told I sound like Donald Sutherland.
@rachael, Oh I probably wouldn't be silent the whole time. But also I spend most of my time listening/watching in new social situations anyway. It would likely be a fine distraction from how badly I might be screwing up said piece.
