Should we bump it to earlier in the morning...say about 10 EST?

Think it over, and let us know.

neverending 03-16-2008 10:05 PM

Hell no- I ain't getting up that early!

:eek:

GorePhobia 03-17-2008 12:56 AM

Stinks I was away for this at the beginning. I'd like to get in here and try it out.

newb 03-17-2008 06:02 AM

(although if neverending won't be there, i don't think it'd be as much fun without the awesome soundtrack).

Despare 03-17-2008 08:49 AM

Alright Neverending, what's the earliest you could be on? (I'm flexible.)

neverending 03-17-2008 09:17 AM

I have a job and have to work!

Right, I was talking about after work. After you're done with work and family and friend... when do you usually have time? Generally only a later evening thing?

neverending 03-17-2008 09:21 AM

I'll set up a script that will run the soundtracks for whatever time you set up, but I can't guarantee I'll be there.

That's fine (although your sublime commentary will be missed). I was just wondering what time is best for you for up and coming rounds. I just would like to start providing a day an time that will allow for a huge turnout. :)

neverending 03-17-2008 09:33 AM

My schedule is not steady and I never know from day to day what it will be, with a few exceptions (like Friday mornings and the weekend). Trying to schedule around me would be an exersize in futility.

Alright, just thought I'd try because your commentary is excellent along with the music. We'll all just hope you can be on for the rounds. :)

NeverEndingWonder Radio will be running horror movie soundtracks for your enjoyment. You can tune in at:

http://www.NeverEndingWonder.com

I can only be around for about the first 15 minutes of the game- which pisses me off as classic horror is my genre!

Don't fret, the horror and classic horror genres will get more than one round, especially since videogame, music, and literature trivia are rolled into three phases of the same round now.

Remember, there are still 7 rounds to go with 12 points a round. You could come in very late and still clean house.

GorePhobia 03-21-2008 11:36 AM

Alright I will try and see what I can do for tomorrow night. I am not that great with Foreign flicks so I will see what I can do.

Thanks for the heads up!

neverending 03-21-2008 07:50 PM

I won't be around for the next round either- I might make it towards the end. NeverEndingWonder Radio will still provide your horrible soundtrack for the contest.

_____V_____ 03-21-2008 07:57 PM

Dammit...:(

Dont tell me you are working...again!

neverending 03-21-2008 07:59 PM

Sorry- I am.

_____V_____ 03-21-2008 08:05 PM

Oh well...hope you are back for the last 30 mins, at least.

fortunato 03-21-2008 09:32 PM

Like I've said before, not everybody can make every round and there are still 84 points up for grab... not to mention two rounds in which prizes are awarded for winning the round itself. You can catch up fortunato, even if you miss a few, the only thing stopping you are the other brilliant HDC members.
