IGC/CoG Christmas Greetings 2008

[Psykoboy2]

Happy Fucking Holidays people!

Last year we collected plenty of greetings from the community and played them back at the end of our Christmas episode. This year, we're doing it again. If you'd like to wish your fellow gamers a Happy Christmahanakwanzakuh just send a very quick recorded message to everyone@ingamechat.net.

"Hey this is Psykoboy2, I'd like to wish the guys at IGC and CoG Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year."

"Hey this is Strax, thanks to everyone who donated to Child's Play, I'm going to be bald now because of it. Really. Thanks. A lot."

Something like that is fine. If you can't make an individual recording of your greeting, feel free to make one over Xbox Live and send it to Straximus (http://live.xbox.com/en-US/profile/profile.aspx?pp=0&GamerTag=Straximus).

The deadline for Xbox Live messages is Saturday (12/20) at Midnight eastern time and the email deadline is Sunday (12/21) at 6pm eastern time.

Hmm, I'm kind of microphone-shy when I'm not singing karaoke/Rock Band (mostly when it's something being recorded)... but I'll try to give it a shot at some point. Maybe on LIVE. Not making any promises, but I'll try! Sounds like fun! :)

[National Kato]

Nice! Thanks for the Live option!

[TrackZero]

I'll be sending in one this year since I missed the deadline last.

[fitbabits]

Ooh, fun! I get to spread my Scottish accent far and wide.

[Roaddawg]

i may pass...i'm celebrating festivus....anyone wanna donate to the human fund?

[violent]

Ooh, fun! I get to spread my Scottish accent far and wide.

I was going to call as you.

[Aggort]

I'd try to be funny with mine, but I know I'd end up taking far too long. So I'll be sending my plain jane holiday wishes!

[fitbabits]

I was going to call as you.
I'd love to hear it!

[violent]

I'd love to hear it!

Man, I would have butchered it I'm sure but it'd be 3 different kinds of rock.

[Ravenlock]

Fantastic. Thanks, guys! :)

[PathMaster]

Merry Christmas.

[Psykoboy2]

Just a reminder.

[fitbabits]

Just a reminder.
A reminder for what?

[Psykoboy2]

A reminder for what?

To send in your greetings.

[fitbabits]

To send in your greetings.
What greetings? :)

If Straximus would accept my damn Friend request, then I could send one to him!

[Psykoboy2]

What greetings? :)

If Straximus would accept my damn Friend request, then I could send one to him!

Really? You can't just send a message to someone who isn't on your friends list?

[fitbabits]

Really? You can't just send a message to someone who isn't on your friends list?
Nope. I had to remove a Friend so that I could send him an invite.

[Psykoboy2]

Nope. I had to remove a Friend so that I could send him an invite.

Well, one option I know works is the "Friends Of Friends" thing. So if you look at my friends list, you can see his profile and probably send him a message that way.

I can see his profile fine, but the option to send a message is blacked out, presumably because he's not on my list.

[Psykoboy2]

Well shit...I wonder if it might be some settings on his end to only get messages from Friends only.

[Straximus]

I'll check when I get home.

[Backseat Killer]

want another ending message like the one Bone and I recorded last year? :)

[Psykoboy2]

want another ending message like the one Bone and I recorded last year? :)

Sure thing. But can Bone be the elf this time?

[Backseat Killer]

Didn't like my elfish, lawyerish, legalsih mumbo-jumbo eh? I see how it is...

[Aggort]

Didn't like my elfish, lawyerish, legalsih mumbo-jumbo eh? I see how it is...

I am looking forward to it, it one of the reasons I don't wanna over do mine. I'd better be included ;)

[Straximus]

Text and voice was/is set to everyone. Video was set to friends only. I can't imagine that would be a problem, but I changed it to everyone too.

I accepted the friend requests.

[pseudopseudo]

Totally jumping in on this... completely forgot about it last year. :(

[kropotkin]

The residents of Superhappyfuntimeshow towers will be sending you a greeting of some decription. Probably. Provided we can think of something witty and indeed pithy to say. Fat chance of that happening then. It'll be toilet humour based instead more than likely. Ah well.

[Aggort]

Mine has been sent! Enjoy the zing!

[Psykoboy2]

Mine has been sent! Enjoy the zing!

Quite a nice zing at the end...I won't say who it's directed at, but it's a good thing those Canadians are a forgiving folk. :D

[Ravenlock]

Recording recordered!

[National Kato]

Sent mine to Strax...

[TrackZero]

If it's me, Aggort's just jealous of my mad CoD4 skills.

[Psykoboy2]

Another reminder. Time's running out!

[violent]

Another reminder. Time's running out!

We're working on something for you guys.

[Aggort]

If it's me, Aggort's just jealous of my mad CoD4 skills.

I have no fucking clue what you could be talking about ;)

[Psykoboy2]

Better hurry folks...time's almost up!

[Shrinn]

I'll record and e-mail one tonight!

[Straximus]

FYI, Kato's got to me without me being on his friends list.

[Shrinn]

Just sent mine in. I have such a cold though.

[Psykoboy2]

Well, time's up for sending them to Strax through XBL.

HOWEVER, he hasn't sent me those to make the audio with so you still have time to send them to everyone@ingamechat.net!!

Tonight's the final night though so get in while you still can.

[Kojak]

Woo just sent mine in then. Thank god for me living in the future or it would have been too late.

[violent]

Ours should be in. We also did something special that time didn't allow us to edit properly. Scott, let me know if I can maybe get it to you this week. I know those aren't the rules but I assure you, this one is quite special.

[Psykoboy2]

We record the show tomorrow night and I don't know how long it will be before it gets posted, but most likely before Christmas...maybe sooner. I would say tomorrow would be the last day for you to send it...but honestly, everyone else...get it in tonight!

What we've already sent is the important thing. Anything else, we'll simply hope. This was a great idea by the way.

[MagGnome]

I just found this thread, only to discover that I missed both deadlines.

Sorry guys. :(

Edit - I also wanted to say that I FINALLY got off my ass and put all ten episodes of In Game Chat on my iPod. I'm the shittiest community member ever for not listening to the show before now. I'm really looking forward to catching up this week and then staying current in the future. You guys rock! :)

[Psykoboy2]

I just found this thread, only to discover that I missed both deadlines.

It's still open if you can email it to me.

[MagGnome]

It's still open if you can email it to me.

At the address in the OP?

I'll record something ASAP and send it your way. First I have to figure out how to record a message on this computer. Does the file format matter?

[Rogue_hunter]

Gah, gotta get my mic from my desktop (still down for the count) so I can record something on the laptop. Please say that there's enough time...

[MagGnome]

I think I'm going to have to record the thing in GarageBand. Hopefully it turns out okay. I've done three takes now and it still sounds silly, but I'm just going to go with what I have and send it to you in a minute here. I hope everyone enjoys it. :p

Edit - I just sent it off to you, in MP3 format. I couldn't get it to sound manly no matter how hard I tried. :o

Double Edit - I also just realized that those 10 episodes only go back to mid November, so I'll probably download some even older ones to catch up more. I should have just listened all along. :/

[Psykoboy2]

Got it Mags.

You're next Rouge...

[Rogue_hunter]

Thanks Scott, just sent it. And I'm not Rouge!

[Psykoboy2]

Got it.

Now if Strax would send me the ones he got on XBL.

[violent]

Come to the IRC room dude.

[TrackZero]

Mine has been sent! Enjoy the zing!

Ack. Just heard it. You win this round Aggort. ;)

[Aggort]

Ack. Just heard it. You win this round Aggort. ;)
Man I had to wait to the very end just to laugh at my own dumb self! I'll be looking forward to a headshot to start a round next time I see you in CoD!
