SUCCESS


So after some recent missed references, the idea came up to perform Movie Nights on a semi-regular basis and sort of pool our experiences in some good company.

As such, and with some (clearly minimal) effort, I think it's about time to try to get one of these together - preferably in the next few days, and perhaps following up the movie with some TF2 or something. Make some kind of classy MKWEA tradition out of it or something.

The service we've elected to go with (Until a better suggestion comes along) is SeeToo Lite, which is a no-signup service which requires the host to install a browser plugin, so it's pretty light-weight and low commitment. When we do start something up, it'll be a shared link.

Nominated for the first Movie Night at this point is Batteries Not Included, by virtue of being the first file in my movies directory, and as such, the one I used for testing. Who would be up for this, and when would be best?

This could get going as early as Tuesday or Wednesday at 11PM Eastern, and my schedule is up in the air at this point (To be updated this evening) for Thursday and Friday, but those are options as well. Pretty much any time on Thursday or Friday.

This is a good idea. Everyone should show up.

THIS WEEK. THIS THURSDAY. BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED. 10 PM EASTERN. BE THERE.

Ugh, I hate having to go to work early. It makes me miss stuff like this.

Stuff like this was why I initially left the hour open to suggestion. But I didn't get any response, and Faded postulated it was because I had left it open. Get involved next time, because after this, the movies are probably going to get more important!

I can't think of any reason that i wouldn't do this. So, count me in.

[thechurch]

I want to host another movie night in the near future. I would most like to do John Carpenter's The Thing. If anyone would be willing to watch it I could probably host around the 18th, or so, of this month. This is my favorite horror film and I would hope others share my interest.

[vultanphase]

I'd probably show up if it's 11PM East or later, and might show up if it's at 10PM East (Work schedule permitting, which I'd probably find out the 13th)

[thechurch]

So, I'm doing this either Thursday, June 23, at 10PM eastern, or, Friday June 24 at 10PM eastern. Everyone that is interested needs to tell me which of these two times works the best.

Also, I have encountered a hard decision. While reviewing my movie collection, I realized that there are in fact three Carpenter films I think would be fun. We will either watch The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, or Escape From New York, based on everyone's feedback.

I'm voting for Big Trouble.

[pneuma08]

Friday works best for me. I vote for Escape.

[thechurch]

So if no one else cares, well do Escape from New York. It will be on Friday June 24, at 10:00PM eastern time. I hope to see you all there!

so... uh... SeeToo is refusing to work for me. Here is the message it gives me when i try to select a video:

Alert
Your browser or operating system is currently not supported for broadcasting.

SeeToo requires Windows 2000, XP or Vista,
and Firefox (2 or higher) or Internet Explorer (6 or higher)

I have the newest version of Firefox, and I am running Vista, so I don't understand the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[pneuma08]

You have Firefox 5 already? Didn't it come out just yesterday?

[thechurch]

Yah, I updated as soon as it came out.

[pneuma08]

Did you try it with FF4?

[thechurch]

Yah, i did. Still wouldn't work.

[vultanphase]

Aright, so I've talked with The Church and I've decided to be a backup if he can't get his SeeToo working. Procuring and Acquiring in progress - we should be nice and on schedule for the planned time.
