You assume the incompetency of the MMOG industry has a ceiling.

A dollar sez that if Sony actually launches it, there will be, in one form or another, aliens.

Scantily-clad aliens.

I have yet to see the series or the movie, although I am excited to do so and might do it before the end of this month, however, I'm pretty sure making a MMO based on such a small fanbase is a bad idea.

You can always come over and watch it on the big screen, marathon-style.

That actually sounds like a plan, but when? This holiday season will, I'm sure, be filled with family stuff. Although, I do have the week between X-Mas and New Year's off...

As much hype as this show gets, it had better be the mental equivilent of getting a blow job while eating a steak while watching the National Championship game while playing Half-Life 3.

I know there are lots of plans between now and XMas, but I can't think of a single thing I have planned between XMas and New Year. Name a day and I'll check with my secretary.
Also, keep in mind there are 13 episodes of Firefly.

Oh, and if it doesn't work for you, Gordon will cook you a filet and give you head during the Ohio State Florida game.
Posted by GORDON on Dec. 13 2006,17:59
Not in this house, I wont.Be watching sports, I mean.
Posted by Leisher on Dec. 14 2006,10:09
Well of course you won't be watching. Your head will be focused elsewhere.By the way, my secretary doesn't seem to think there will be a problem if we get together to watch the show one of those days, so I'm going to say Wednesday the 27th.

Ok. What time do you have in mind? And the baby goes to bed 9ish.But then maybe I can arrange a sitter. Babies are annoying and have no courtesy when it comes to allowing others to watch Firefly.

You pick the time. 13 episodes translates to roughly 8.7 hours of viewing goodness. That's assuming each 60 minute episode is really 40 minutes without commercials.
That doesn't include the time for the Firefly movie.

A sitter might be best, particularly since you have one 100 yards away.
I've had many viewing experiences ruined by a selfish baby who can't grasp the concept of only crying during commercials.

I would so come down to watch a Firefly marathon. Also I am available during your time frame Leisher.
Just thought I would put that out there. I wouldn't be upset or anything if I didn't get an invite....sob..sob..sniff.

19 hours one-way. Well, if I didn't already own Firefly myself that would certainly be worth it. Getting to force Leisher to finally watch it almost makes it worth it. I'll really have to think about it.
I'll be in Nacogdoches on Tuesday, which puts me 3 hours closer. That makes it only 16 hours. Hmmmmm...

Yeah TPR if you fly into Detroit you could hitch a ride with me down to Toledo

Sorry I haven't called to arrange plans yet. I've been busy with work (story coming soon) and finals. I'm thinking Wednesday is a good plan.
Party at Gordo's.

Yes, Party at Gordo's. Though I refuse to play Duke Nukem with you guys or any other game were you will all kick my ass, I end up with negative kills and you all laugh at me. (Osterman Old school baby)

........ the hell?You used to work at OAPI?
Posted by Leisher on Dec. 21 2006,12:37
No, he did not work there. He was brought in once or twice specifically for Duke Nukem multiplay sessions.
Posted by GORDON on Dec. 21 2006,16:32
The only outsider I remember was NINJA.
Posted by Cakedaddy on Dec. 21 2006,17:14
My brother in law and nephew came in once too. OAPI was great. Bringing friends in and rewiring the Network for maximum playability was awesome.Till Cindy fucked it all up. Fucking bitch.

It was a silly idea anyway.

So who all will be at this shindig? Cake? DD? Gordo? Little Gordo? Mrs. Gordo?Tell me a time and I shall appear. We going to order pizza or something during the marathon? Will strippers be provided?

We're waiting to see if you're bringing your SO.
I'm guessing no, but that will determine whether or not MY SO will be around w/kid.
Actually, my SO has plans that night. So looks like just me.
Cake.
Leisher.
DD if he wants. He can organize that w/Leisher and come together, prolly.
RSVP so I can think about what to do about food. All told, there's 12-14 hours of stuff to watch, if we go pilot ---> the movie.

Sure.
12-14 hours, let me know what time I need to be out there to start the show and what I need to bring in terms of cash or food or women.
Oh, and if there were any PC games I received in the last "however long" that we had discussed you borrowing...well, it's convenient now, so let me know and I'll try to dig them up to bring with me.
DD call me anytime over the next three days to set plans.

I figure if we start at noon it'll take us not TOO deep into the wee hours.
I have plenty of floor and an extra bedroom if need be. I figure Cake would want to use the bedroom since he's travelling the farthest.
Any hot women you bring I'll take care of myself.
Bring a few bucks for pizza, I reckon. I'll be supplying snacky-type food. Chicken wings and such. I've got all kinds of beer in here.

I don't hate the song. While it wouldn't be in my MP3 player, it fits the tone of the series and that's the important thing.
Posted by WSGrundy on Dec. 31 2006,12:00
For those who don't have it the complete series is $17.99 at circuit city this week.
Posted by Cakedaddy on Dec. 31 2006,22:35
I watched the whole series over the course of about a week, or less. By the second DVD, the song was near agonizing to listen to. I found it extremely homosexual.
