I love that second picture, if I wasn't so intent on keeping my irl life separate from my internet life, I would put it as my cover photo on FB.

***Nate*** · #92 10-04-2012, 05:40 PM

I fixed the page stretch for you, MeechMunchie. You're welcome.

Wil: That guy just looks wierd in the first photo.

***Xavier*** · #93 10-04-2012, 10:07 PM

So what did you guys did during the meeting? Just chatting with each other or also other stuff?

Havoc · #94 10-05-2012, 05:37 AM

Wil had Chris in a confined space. Do you need to know any more?

Crashpunk · #95 10-06-2012, 02:38 AM

Lies. All Lies!

It was Meech and Wil in the confined space.

Yeah pretty much talking. I spend most of the time chatting to Meech, STM and Glitch. and of course Wil when he wasn't busy. We were mostly talking about New 'N' Tasty and asking Glitch about the game as well as Oddworld in general. But we often just got distracted and talked about something else such as Minecraft.

People also got stuff signed by Lorne in the same room and each person ended up having long conversations with him. I didn't actually meet Lorne personally (as in me and him talking) which I'm still a bit gutted about. But in the end we all had pictures with him which was awesome.

E: I did say "Hello!" to him at the start of the event actually with him saying it back

E2: Oh and course we had a Q&A with Lorne and Stewart. But you might of already knew that.

STM · #96 10-06-2012, 03:35 AM

I also didn't get to say much to Lorne. When he passed next to me in a corridor when Chris said 'aye up', or something along that description, I tried to say hello but I choked and sorta squeaked so all that came out was, 'sir!' Which I proceeded to call him for most of the evening. >.>

We did share a bonding moment over Valhalla Rising though.

Crashpunk · #97 10-06-2012, 03:56 AM

Oh god that's right. I nervously blurted out 'Aye Up' to Lorne Lanning.

***Nate*** · #98 10-06-2012, 04:23 AM

You don't need to feel bad about it. Both times I met him it was pre-planned so he was expecting me, and yet I still felt sick with nervousness.

pupbenny · #99 10-06-2012, 06:11 AM

I'm suprised. I wasn't nervous really I think. I spoke to him alright I mean.

Hulaabeo · #**100** 10-06-2012, 10:05 AM

You guys are beyond lucky. XD

OANST · #**101** 10-06-2012, 11:57 AM

I mentioned that I sat, and chatted with Tim Schafer in his office for about 45 minutes, right? Did I mention that?

What I'm getting at is that you people are really bad at being star fuckers. Suck it up, and talk to the dirty hippy already.

***Wil*** · #**102** 10-06-2012, 12:03 PM

But you've had decades more time than some of the people here to grow those sorts of balls.

STM · #**103** 10-06-2012, 12:03 PM

I did. About Valhalla Rising.

Now then, who's Tim Schafer? Is he an American footballer?

I am not that much older than the rest of you, you bastard.

Bullet Magnet · #**105** 10-06-2012, 03:47 PM

But those few years made all the difference.

And possibly the experiences and general manliness.

But you've lived!

***Xavier*** · #**107** 10-08-2012, 01:36 AM

Go away oanst, you are making me jealous.

Seriously though, you guys should have manned up and gone speak to Lorne, he's a very friendly person

I did.

I don't see why people would have been nervous.... sure he's my idle and probably all of theirs but still, he was there so you might as well meet him.

STM · #**109** 10-08-2012, 07:34 AM

That's not the only reason. Another one was that he was being pestered by a multitude of sweaty, stinky nerds. I'm sure that by the time I could have caught him he just wanted to go home.

OANST · #**110** 10-08-2012, 08:02 AM

I doubt that would have been the case. I bet Lorne Lanning never gets tired of talking about Lorne Lanning.

Agreed. He spent a long time, a long long time, talking to some fans.

MeechMunchie · #**112** 10-08-2012, 09:25 AM

I was in the queue. One of the guys had this really bulbous, fleshy nose.

STM · #**113** 10-08-2012, 10:00 AM

Olimar?

Hey, you saw me! Why didn't you say hi!?

I'm joking, I didn't go

MeechMunchie · #**115** 10-08-2012, 10:47 AM

I won't point it out on the photo in case it was pupbenny or Sligstorm.

Did he also have floating hands and feet?

That is not me.

Better luck next time then...
