Either the end of November or the beginning of December and consider yerself invited.

 

While traveling to the UK would not be out of the question, I can definitely not make it before 16/17/18 weekend in december - everything else is already blocked.

How many people can Skype carry at once?

Might it be a better idea to do a Livestream? Then everyone goes to the livestream.com site and can watch a video feed of the meeting and we all (off location) talk together on the site's chat system. I think there might be some system for video conferencing that might work too; maybe Skype does allow it?

 

Edit: But I think Livestream may be the way to go because then you don't have to mess with trading Skype accounts. You just post the link, it's a public site, and anybody who wants just clicks and the video feed comes up, and away we go. Very easy.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

They aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. You can probably have a livestream going at the same time Skype is on, and I don't know about TeamSpeak but probably that too. (I guess it might depend if one of them takes exclusive control over the webcam away from the others though, so it could use testing.)

 

What's nice about Livestream is that people going to the stream don't need accounts ahead of time or anything; they can just to go the site and watch, and post comments as a guest IIRC.

 

You can just go to a stream and see what it's like; you can just see in 10 seconds what it'd take longer to explain. Here's one I picked at random: http://www.livestream.com/occupylsx

(Occupy London... I don't mean to be political, I just wanted one that had the comments box open to the public. The gaming ones I tried before required logins & were moderated. Also obviously you connect the video to the webcam instead of that looping video they have.)

Or here is a list of live streams in English if that one goes down.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
