Woebin posted:Voting for the T-shirt design contest has started. I personally don't really like any of the Cecil/Carlos shirts that made it to finals (I'd been really hoping for Lawrence Gullo's design, personally), but at least I voted for the intern shirt in the second category. Picked Melissa Shaw's Cecil/Carlos shirt, as its the only one that doesn't specify character appearance.

I want to buy that intern shirt if it wins, but with all the birthdays and Christmas coming up and me with no job, I can't really buy poo poo for myself for a while. Those are only going to be available for a month, right? Maybe I can convince someone to get me one for Christmas...

Woebin posted:It was submitted! Was it lost somewhere in transit? Lawrence is a friend of mine and I know for a fact that he submitted it. He only shared it elsewhere online after submissions were closed to make sure nobody would steal it and submit it in their own name. I honestly don't really know. I was busy preparing for the live shows, so Jeffrey narrowed it down a lot and then I helped him come up with the final five for each. But I do know that a lot of designs that people posted online about submitting to us were not actually in the submissions, so we couldn't choose them. There was at least one for the second contest I saw that I really liked, but it wasn't actually submitted so it couldn't be considered.

Are you guys planning to bring the show to Ohio sometime? I'm way too far from the places they've been to actually even think abut going. Edit: I'm a little disappointed that my Topoatoco order didn't come with a thank you note like my shirt did

I really don't like the idea of the Cecil/Carlos shirts because it gives 'officialness' to what they look like, even if its just an outline. We all know that radio has better pictures because it has no pictures.  I really, really like the Whispering Forest shirt though.

Voted for Sophie's Cecil/Carlos shirt because it leaves the most to the imagination. Voted for the Summer Reading Program shirt because holy poo poo, I would buy and wear that shirt out in public as often as possible.

The new episode is out and if you haven't listened to it yet you probably shouldn't be reading this post, or anything past it. --------- Today's episode is the most terrifying episode yet. Old woman Josie, the new intern being ascended to heaven, the football coach's tongue, and worst of all, Strex Corp is coming to Night Vale and they've already bought the radio station. Are they going to turn Night Vale into the new Desert Bluffs? What could be worse?

I dunno. That's kind of like going into the Breaking Bad thread after the finale aired and being mad about spoilers. It's up, you have to take a degree of responsibility for reading the thread before listening.

I added a warning to my previous post but if this were TVIV (which I'm aware that it is not) I'd get probated for using spoiler tags, since the episode is actually out and has been for about nine hours now. If the thread is going to have some other spoiler policy rather than the norm, that should probably be posted. (Please let's not turn the thread into a spoiler debate. )

The point of the post, as I can tell, was to start a discussion about those events, and perhaps a bit of theorizing about what will happen next. She wasn't trying to spoil anyone, she wanted to talk about what happened with other people who listened. Also, you could have stopped reading her post, dude. She said "Today's episode is the most terrifying yet" and then there's a linebreak. You could have stopped reading after the linebreak.

It's 10:45 am here on the east coast and the rear end crack of dawn on the west coast, so it's pretty reasonable to assume not a lot of people have had a chance to listen to it yet. It's not like a TV show that comes on at prime time in the evenings. I don't think it's unreasonable to use spoiler tags on the 1st and 15th I don't think you were deliberately spoiling anything though and iostream.h is getting kind of crazy

I don't think it's unreasonable to use spoiler tags on the 1st and 15th I agree that would be reasonable if maxnmona agrees, maybe it should go in the OP with the occasional reminder before a new episode. I sincerely apologize if I upset anyone, again, I was just posting by the normal rules regarding spoilers of the forums and WAS hoping to foster conversation about the new episode by those who had seen it.

It would be neat if they started slipping in commercials or slowly bought the local businesses. Maybe we'll get a comment about how the new radio equipment appears to be made out of animal viscera. I also really liked the line delivery of the Strex bit at the end in how it was a 180 from Kevin. He said it and it sounded nice and soothing. Cecil saying it was incredibly sinister and evil. I would buy an "Angels don't exist" bumper sticker. I don't know what I'm going to do with my current Night Vale stickers but I would buy another.

Seriously, why not just use loving spoiler tags on the day it drops? The 'edit' done is utter bullshit, it doesn't prevent anyone from seeing anything, why not just insert spoiler tags except to be a oval office?

I dunno if there's much interest, but I set up an IRC channel for fans of the podcast to hang out in! It's on irc.synirc.net, and the room is #NightVale. You can click this link to just join via a web IRC client, or you can click this link for information about other clients.

As soon as Hyram started speaking I immediately recognized the voice and nearly poo poo myself in glee. I've never had to rewind an episode so many times because I lose poo poo while laughing so hard, nor have I exclaimed "OH poo poo" so many times at a plot twist and had to rewind to make sure I heard what I thought I heard. I know you say there's no fixed plan for the series, but the way the plot threads came together in this episode made the whole thing up to now seem densely plotted and now it's going to be a long-rear end two weeks. Also, people who like this show really need to read "American Elsewhere." It's a somewhat lovecraftian sci-fi horror novel about eldritch horrors who just want to carve out their own slice of the small town American dream. It's written by Robert Jackson Bennett, who used to post here under the name Spiny Norman (and his threads were beautifully epic) and published by Orbit books. Came out back in February. Definitely not a night vale ripoff, because he started writing it in 2011, but seems to inhabit a similar (although far less comedic) head space. Very much worth reading.

*ahem* At 945CST the first episode shall be broadcast slightly below 3.5MHZ on LSB. Can't give an exact frequency because I'll have to find a clear spot, but there y'go. An episode a night from here on until Halloween, at which point I'll marathon the rest. Send reception reports to iostream.header at the gee male please. (Is GBS open right now?) Edit: Incidentally, absolutely no digital equipment is being used for this broadcast. I copied over the podcast to an old reel-to-reel multitrack recorder from my studio with some extremely aged and water damaged tape to play over the air. Tube transceiver and an old rear end analog mixer and crystal mic with a tube pre complete the setup. iostream.h fucked around with this message at 03:33 on Oct 2, 2013 |
