Was listening to Trey's story about Steve Johnson telling him not to blink the puppet's eyes during rehearsals.

Alright, folks. Let's talk evolution.

In this "interim" period — well, assumed interim period, assuming there's going to be some other formal reason for this forum existing in the future — I think it'd be fun to do some tiny little experiments with the boardsystem.

There's currently two community-amusement initiatives going on — the "movie club" thing, and the "Friends in Your Dungeon" thing — and if they catch on as something that enough people enjoy doing, they both strike me as the kinds of projects that would benefit from having a dedicated board. Like, we already have "Off-Topic" and "Episodes," and we could also add "FIYH Movie Club" and "FIYH Gamin' Dungeon." Or whatever.

I wouldn't want to make a change like that only to have it dwindle two weeks later, and as such I'm hesitant to be hasty about it... but, it does seem like it'd be a cool thing to do if turned out to be worth it.

My question for you is twofold, and we shall commence in a vibrant discussion of your ensuing opinions.

1. Do you like the idea semi-formalizing community efforts like this?

2. While we're at it, do you have any pitches / brainstorms / ideas for additional ones?

*still watching thread from behind a tree trunk*

Not really — they were streamed but not archived. You mean the pre-roll packets we made with the MuggleNet hosts?

Hm. I think I have a ZIP file of the MuggleNet videos that we ended up with. Lemme dig.

EDIT: Yep, I do. It's 600 megs, though.  I'm gonna re-download it and maybe throw the clips up on YouTube unlisted-style.

Done.

btw, here's the unlisted "original" DIF commentary for this movie.

Wait — I'm confused, are we meant to be discussing the movie yet? The intended timeline and order of events is a bit unclear to me.

So, just for my information, would you/anyone be interested in me doing a follow-up series on Layout?

I've got to tell ya, this whole "teach Owen Lightwave" thing — the videos, all of it — might be my favorite ongoing project.

Goin' live here in a little while. Got some transcoding to do first — don't wanna make you guys (and me) watch a progress bar slide by. Maybe an hour? I'll add a little red recording icon to the announcement bar when I'm live.

Also, Spork, until I'm done editing, I can still squeeze ya into the edit.

You are so fucking cool.
