The lack of posting lately is because I’m trying to write all the words. I’ve got more than a few of them together by this point, all lined up next to each other. Many of them are even spelled properly and in correct grammatical order. However, I have to stop writing those words for a few minutes so I can write these ones:<\/p>\n
On Thursday 6\/28, the Spoiler Warning crew will be doing another “Hangout”. It will start at 9PM on the East Cost. (For people converting to GMT, that means it will actually happen at 1AM on 6\/29.) Josh is going to stream a little something or other while we tune in and chat.<\/p>\n
I have been informed that people do not like the term “hangout”. This is a shame, since that’s pretty much my go-to word for “unstructured social gathering”. I suppose we can go with Play Date<\/a> if that’s more your speed. Or perhaps you would prefer a Shin Dig<\/a>? I’m sorry we’re stuck with the language tools we’ve got, but I’m not going to write posts titled, “Assembly of Internet Friends via Ventrilo While also Streaming a Videogame to Other, More Anonymous Attendees and Communicating via Text Chat, This Thursday”. <\/p>\n The plan for now:<\/p>\n Other items:<\/p>\n When I talked about adding forums to the site last week, I wasn’t talking about changing the comment threads or the way we read posts. The main site would remain exactly the same, except there would be a link (somewhere) to the forums, where you could interact with other Twenty-Siders. Maybe even do a little RPG play-by-post. I might also have a section labeled, “Politics, Religion, And Console Platforms”, which will auto-delete everything posted to them. Just kidding. Sort of.<\/p>\n I might keep the forums very tightly regulated at first. Maybe play-by-post will be the only thing available, and I’ll gradually add more sections once I’m sure it won’t mess up the existing comment threads.<\/p>\n The Left 4 Dead Spoiler Warning will (according to Josh) go up tomorrow. Probably. We’ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The lack of posting lately is because I’m trying to write all the words.
