what the fuck
Don't do that to people's brains. Shit. Have some respect.
That's me, baby.
I killed him.
And that's just the site, not forum members. We average in the thousands and thousands of downloads for a new episode, despite our smallish forum and Twitter community size. (I'm honestly a little baffled at the wee-ness of our forum, having seen our actual numbers, but I'm just-as-honestly happy with the community of folks we have here, so I'm square with it.)
I think it just boils down to a "the small fraction of folks are vocal/social, the rest lurk" internet truism. If there were like, five or eight guys willing to do an episode or two of sponsorship here, you represent listeners a hundredfold in the silentverse. Which is promising.
*strokes chin*
EDIT: And Fixed has been an amazing, regular donater, so until further notice the show is fuckin' sponsored by him.
Kyle (from these hurr forums) set me down an idea path, which involves ya'll and I figure it's worth asking.
Would you be interested in the opportunity to "sponsor" particular episodes of DIF? For a twenty dollar PayPal donation, say Bob Bobbles, could get his name in front of an episode. "This episode of Down in Front brought to you by Bob Bobbles, a man so well hung his ankles are bruised." *music starts* "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to Down in Front!"
Etcetera.
We could even go back in time so that your name is on an already-released episode in perpetuity. Might have to bracket them, so it's a bit more expensive to "sponsor" the Star Wars episode than the Gremlins episode, but the same basic thing. Any time anyone plays that episode in the future (and these things do get action after their first-week, as ya'll probably know from listening to old episodes,) your name is on there. Or it could be framed as your Twitter name, for potential follower action, I guess.
Anybody interested in that kind of thing? Trying to sort out ways to turn some income around from the show, because the last thing I want us to start doing is charging to listen to it (coughRifftraxcough) and it's kind of expensive to do and maintain, not to mention hours spent for us and Matt and Holden.
Not to sound lazy, but I think it was closed before we got here, and if it wasn't, it's since been closed pretty thoroughly. (Thanks in part to RLM.)
My understanding is that the ride breaks down into four "phases," which are stitched together randomly every time the ride starts. There's probably a default hand-off at the end of one part and the beginning of a second part, say a jump to hyperspace, that they can use to bridge the gap.
Lucas and one of the head Imagineering guys were talking about it like a slot machine, the ride starts and it spins four little wheels that clunk into position with different story elements.
They said there's something like fifty variations, which I assume wouldn't mean fifty different available scenes, more likely something like seven scenes were made and which-four and the order will be different each time.
As for my opinion...I...feh. The problem I have is that I'm sure it'd be an exciting and engrossing new kind of ride to experience, as a human being, and had I never had Star Tours-Star Tours the Star Wars aspect would thrill me. As is, I won't be boycotting it or anything, but, I'm not in a rush to Disneyland.
No, I just mean a Hollywood Video in Burbank requires me to stand outside sternly telling it "NO HOLLYWOOD VIDEO YOU ARE NOT IN HOLLYWOOD YOU ARE IN BURBANK"
...
I talk to buildings a lot.
Damn, Zarban's on fire this week.
I have this whole thing about Hollywood video, where the level of bullshitness of any particular Hollywood Video store is directly correlated to its proximity to Hollywood.
As a store gets closer to Hollywood, the level of its bullshitness increases until it reaches its peak immediately outside of Hollywood (Burbank, for instance), before dropping off completely as soon as it arrives in the city limits of Hollywood proper.
It's not interesting, it's just something my mind came up with a long time ago and has stuck with me.
This thread makes me miss Harrell.
That's adorable.
"A tour de force performance from Zarban," - Teague Chrystie, Down in Front
This one I really feel bad about.
In Return of the Jedi, Brian says:
"Ackbar is like 'prepare to jump to hyperspace on my mark,' and Lando is like 'got it! Boom! And he goes!'"
And I didn't immediately say "LEEEEEEEROYYYYYYYY JENNNNNKINNNNNSSSSS."
I regret the error.
It's not that it wasn't around as I was growing up, I'm a couple years older than the show itself. I just never found it particularly funny, even it its lauded "heyday." Not my kind of thing. Even going back to old, "heyday" episodes I'm not that into it.
*shrug*
Different strokes.
