YES! Congrats!! You should print up your own business cards and hand em out to any contacts you make while there. It's a cheap way to market yourself and it helps your image drastically.
Dad keeps nagging on about how we spent a lot for that flight
Definitely true. I think in total it worked out to about 65 hours of wages from my old job. Worth it though. Also it seems pretty crazy that we were both at the same place, there has to be at least a few places like that around the world.

Now you have a brand new pc to play old games on!
Best comment ever. XD
@JeffMOD First expect a comparison between it and the laptop. And then expect me to finish some things I've started. And when I finish those, I'll move on to modern engines.
NICE! I too did that but ages ago and I barely even remember it...
This was somewhere during 2002. But man have they really changed the livery of the aircraft. Dad keeps nagging on about how we spent a lot for that flight back then, too bad I'm not old enough to remember it though I would have loved to. Apparently I called the pilot a wuss and he then did an aileron roll, despite my dad telling him not to....

This is awesome!
I once worked on something similar to this. If you ripped and scaled down some textures from Fallout (I've found texture packs for it before) you could make this look amazing.
I'll be honest. I've not been able to catch the live stream for a couple of weeks. British Summer Time means that I can only really get the first hour of the weekday stream before needing to retire to get a semi-decent amount of sleep. The weekend is just getting hectic with the youngest starting to move about and the eldest wanting to play in the sun all day...
That said, depending on what is put in place, I will try to watch whenever I can, otherwise I'll be catching up via the VODs when I'm cooking dinner and whatnot.
Hell, I've wanted to get back into streaming myself because I really enjoyed the interaction aspect of it, but my time is just getting soaked up by toddlers and babies and wives... mostly one of each of those.

My juxtaposition is meant to be a wake up call.
By the time we all become complacent and the slippery slope does take us there, it would be too late.
Talk to any German who lived in Germany in that era, and even though they were not the one pulling the switch to the gas chambers, they were complicit in what was happening.
@NineTnine: Doing plain ol' videos has crossed my mind, but having it live does have some advantages. Namely, it gets other people involved without having them take the time out to be explicit guests, it makes it more interactive, and it makes it more entertaining for me. Changing format into straight video would give more freedom to edit it down into a more palatable form, but... I'm not yet convinced it's worth it.
@JeffMOD: If size is an issue already, then that's a point in favour of cutting the length down a little bit. It would make it a little less of a process to get the recordings up, too.
@Archie + Instant Mix: I suppose I'm not against the idea of letting others take the reigns for a little while, provided someone was willing to put in that time. (If they were to use the same format and livery, that would take a little setting up.)
Honestly, I'm not looking to have this hiatus be a long one. If anything, it's an issue of communication. I do have enough time to do them, but without having set times that I can reliably do them at each week, there's two problems: One, without it being on a schedule, I'm likely to become a bit tardy and put it off (which is more a me-problem than anything else, so not really an actionable issue). Two, it's harder to make it clear that there is a stream before the stream happens.
When it's at the same time each week, people are able to know that and don't necessarily have to depend on, say, my shoutbox message 20-60 minutes before it happens. What I actually need is a more direct way of letting people know that a stream is 'bout to happen. If people can't watch (or don't want to), they can not watch, and that's fine. But if people can and do want to watch, they need a way to know that it's an option! And I'm not sure how I can make that happen.
(Also, as a side effect of all this, I'm not going to be able to do them at my usual relatively-timezone-friendly times of day. Unsure how that will affect things at this point.)
Agreed with Archie, one of us could pick up the slack in your downtime, because honestly the videos are really meaningful as an archive and the fact you've already done so many so frequently speaks so much about your dedication to it

I've actually slipped far behind on watching the stream archives so this might be good news for me! There's just so much content to go through in each stream that I rarely manage to get through an entire one, so maybe doing smaller ones for just a few maps at once or even single maps numbered by their MV ID, then "Mod Specials" would be both more digestible and work better with your schedule.
I've enjoyed watching you. The times don't matter much to me, as I don't know beforehand whether or not I'll be able to watch at a certain time. Being busy has its pros and cons. Good luck with whatever you're doing!
Real nice looking house though!

Thanks all for the birthday wishes!
The Scots know better.
Thank you. And yes, I do sleep on it. It's comfy. :3
@SSB
Definitely, the floor is really nice. I should photograph it and make a texture out of it. xD

It’s begun.
Well, there is a riddle within the title and the post. It's pretty simple.
HB anyway
[EDIT] Oh I see. I was the lucky drawer for 2^13.

I refuse to be complicit.

Maybe you could farm a couple of episodes out to contributors you've used before. Give yourself a break?
