Sorry, guys. My dad isn't giving me any free time during the day as long as this painting project isn't finished, so I can't play during the afternoon. The only way I can seem to get any free time is to wait until we've finished working, had dinner, and taken showers, and then start playing, and since my dad doesn't get off work until around 6, he likes to push as hard as he can, to the point that we're usually trying to pick up around 9, in the dark and fending off mosquitoes.
And Bloog, that'd be 8 AM for me, so I can't really do that. As it is, I'm aiming to do it at midnight here.
If you guys would prefer I wait until Monday, I can try to do it around this time of day, but there's no guarantee the painting will be done and my time will be my own by then, so it might just end up getting pushed back even further.
Aww, dammit. I think I spoke too soon. I just realized several things I hadn't considered, and now I don't think I'll be able to pull off either time at all. Here's what I think I actually can manage. Saturday, August 14th starting between 5 AM to 8 AM GMT, or Monday, August 16th around 8 PM GMT.
And I feel awful for screwing around with you guys on the time like this, so hopefully no other unforeseen circumstances will come up and screw these times up.
If you play on Saturday I could try to do my Escape run on Sunday. After that I might run out of options to actually play it at all but I MAY find a good opportunity to still play it next weekend if you play on Monday. Once things get to go Serious Business status at school I'm not gonna have enough time, I guess. (And I better do have enough time, judging by my 14 hour RACE run...) Also I hope with the block inactive now I may be able to stream in a better quality.
Well, audience participation is part of this, so you can probably be expect to be told what to do quite a bit. That should help keep you well under 14 hours.
Okay, sounds like you guys have decided. I'll be playing Curse on Saturday morning GMT. Any of you have a preference within the time range I gave?
I can try to shoot for 8 AM GMT, but that's 2 AM here, so that's about as far as I'm willing to push it. I'm expecting to be in for about 4 hours of playing, and I have to be finished by 7 AM, so even that's cutting it sort of close. But I'm willing to give it a shot. For you guys.
This should be great for the Australians and doable for the Europeans, but I bet I pretty much just screwed over some of the Americans. Which is funny, seeing as I fall into the last category.
I swear, it's like Qwest has a program set up to monitor me, so that whenever I talk about streaming Curse, they crash my internet like crazy. My internet's been doing just fine lately, but today it's suddenly been crashing as bad as when I tried to stream Curse during the race.
I'll do my best to stream, and hopefully the problem will clear up by the time I start in two and a half hours, but if this keeps up, I'm going to have to postpone yet again.
All right, guys. Internet seems to be holding up okay. I think I'm going to be okay to do this.
I'm going to go ahead and get on the channel now. I'm going to stream Rock Band 2 for the next 40 minutes, since I don't have anything better to do until 2 AM.
Edit: I lied. Apparently Procaster won't broadcast the input from my TV card, so all that broadcasts is silence and the windows taskbar. Gonna play Rock Band for the next 20 minutes anyway, just not broadcasting it, and I will be in the channel's chat.
Would it be okay if I did the fun run of Lair of the Leviathan tonight at 22:00 GMT? Because i'm going on vacation next week, so it will probably have to be after I return otherwise.

That'd be awesome apen I'm going away tomorrow, and am not totally sure when I'll get the chance to play 605, but hopefully this drags on long enough that I can just do it after returning
Looks like no-one is showing up. I'm leaving the stream, but if you want me to start the fun run, just post in this thread. I'm subscribed to it, so I'll recieve a mail the moment someone posts in it and then I can start the fun run.

Oh well
I'd be okay with it, and I expect our Australian(s) to be cheering.
Aww, that's 2 A.M. for me... Oh well. Maybe if you did it 8 hours later.

I have Windows 7...64 bit that might be the problem
I have Windows 7 64bit and I get it to work okay. Or rather I get CMI to work beautifully, and EMI to work tolerably.
This.
I did make a "How to get SMI thru EMI (& Grim Fandango) to work in Windows" thread. It may help. However, just saying "use ScummVM and the Escape launcher" works just as well for someone reasonably resourceful enough.
So consider this a vote for Saturday.
