Episode 56 feedback

[Rev. Thim]

No Chase, you will sing with Derek....if you don't, Derek wins by default.

It was Mikes idea, and he's the boss. plus I second it.


the only question is "what song"? it should be something they both know, to keep it fair and so that they don't have to think about the words. no excuses, no blaming brain lag. maybe a 'best out of three'.

.....who knew it would be settled by internet sing-a-long?!....uberness, sheer total brilliant uberness.

whats better than a "One-to-one skype off!!!" ....a "Kara-skype-Oke off!!!" ;D

[Rev. Thim]

Damn...I shoulda found that logic hole.

well done Derek.

It comes down to kara-skype-oke, so gentlemen shall we start picking songs?

I nominate the Prince song, .Cream.: just because it would be awesome to hear Chase sing Prince.

.....unless neither of you know the tune.

perhaps stairway to heaven, everyone knows that one.

[Rev. Thim]

yah well, my invisable monster is better than yours.

I have a religious doctorate, and as a holyman can say that.

lol....but seriously, Derek, you accept the sing off?

[webbstre]

There is no freaking way I am singing... I only sing at Japanese karaoke with alcohol involved.
It still wouldn't prove anything. Everyone has a different connection, and apparently hears things with a different delay rate. One on one wouldn't work because all it takes is one person to be slightly lagging behind the other, and one on one on one (with Mike being the recorder) would only show how synced we are individually with his connection. There's no standard because, quite simply, all connections and hardware are not equal.

[Rev. Thim]

What do you mean you only sing at kareoke with alcohol?! you already sang proud to be an americhan on the show!.....and it was so ubersome I cropped it and saved it as its own file. lol.

I'd say "Derek wins! DEREK WINS!!!", but he didn't say if he'd accept before chase declined.


*ponders what Chase sings at kareoke.*

[webbstre]

Japanese songs... my voice range actually works for some of them ^^;

What did I sing before??? The creepy old man impersonation? That doesn't count, it was an impersonation.

In any case, I want to talk about this on the show, but it looks like next weekend will be another one where I won't be able to make it because Chad is working on my free time day.


Edit: Whoa, post 400...

[Rev. Thim]

congrats on 400 man...I just got more than 100 yesterday.

you sang "proud to be an american"!....remember Mike saying something like "I didn't know voices went that up that far"?

you should try prince next time you kareoke....and Chad should be there recording. ;D

[Rev. Thim]

Well, I DID ask before Chase declined ,
yet it is Communis Opinio and Scientia Veritas Facta
that Derek will indeed sing at the "drop of a freaking hat".

*checks Robert's rules of order*

It seems that since the fact is widely known as true by the group, Derek did not need to reply.


thus Derek Wins.....unless Chase agrees to the kara-skype-oke challenge.

[webbstre]

Your challenge wouldn't prove anything other than we are all out of sync with each other. We couldn't even tell who is syncing how with who unless everyone recorded the show and we played them simultaneously, otherwise it only shows how well we sync up with Mike.

[webbstre]

And yes Derek... that is America. In Japan your dislexic kanji ability and knowledge of history somehow determines your IQ.

[Rev. Thim]

its ok Chase...you can still do your "technicality rant" on the show.

Derek,in honour of your victory , your lines for the next show can now delivered like a musical....and don't forget the jazz-hands.

Oh, and good job on refering to yourself in the third person.

The Thim is pleased.

[webbstre]

Oh, I agree with Tim on this: the next time Derek is on the show he should do the whole thing singing. Mike can add in instrumentals afterwards.

[Rev. Thim]

This will be the best show EVAR if he sings the entire time.

I can imagine it becoming contagious, and suddenly Mike starts singinng... and before you know it the entire show is a musical, except Chad - he becomes enraged at the entire notion.

[King Of Reading]

Karaoke show? What the hell is going on?

I don't know about that man. Derek and Mike can sing reasonably well, I'm just normal and c'mon...Eric?

Don't get me started on Chase. I can't remember the last time we were at karaoke and he DIDN'T sing a Japanese song. I suppose it's cool because we both know most of the songs, but then again...that vocal range.

[Deli Hand Grenade]

Wow ... I love these feedback threads. Ok ... in the rigmarole ... I've lost the essence of the argument. Wasn't the argument whether or not the distance from the host determines the lag of the call?

If I host the call ... that means that all of you are connected to me (or whatever server I use ect) ... so if "connection" is to blame rather than distance ... then Chase should have less of a delay than Derek. If Distance is to blame ... Derek should have less of a delay ... seems pretty cut and dry to me.

At least as cut and dry as it can be without real testing and science and stuff.

Also ... ROFL over the musical episode discussion. If I can somehow pull it off Thim ... I'd do it. But i think our show is too "freeform" to come up with pre-planned songs that don't seem out of place.

Maybe for the next top 50 games of all time show. (Shooting for Episode 75 for that one)
