Thread: URPG Movie NIghts

    URPG Movie Nights

    Yeah, movie nights are being attempted again. Hopefully, though, with CyTube now being a thing we can make this into something that can last a month or two. For now this is just scouting out when you guys will be available since we want as many people as possible to attend.

    Just click on the link below and check every box that you feel you will be free on, there are 6 times for the 7 days so that's 42 different options. That may seem like a lot but I felt that this was the best way to account for differences in days (ie. someone free 10pm on saturday may not be free 10pm sunday)

    Doodle: URPG Movie Night

    I selected times in eastern time but apparently it autochanges depending on your location for simplicitys sake the times are;

    5pm - 6pm - 7pm - 8pm - 9pm - 10pm GMT -5 respectively

    About CyTube
    CyTube is this pretty nifty site that hosts a video in a chat room, the video plays at the same rate for everyone in the room so if you leave and come back 10 minutes later then you'll come back 10 minutes into the movie. An account is not necessary to watch the movie but is necessary to chat with your fellow viewers but fortunately making an account requires just a username and password so no biggie.

    In terms of movie selection we are restricted to the following mediums

    YouTube
    Google Docs Video
    Vimeo
    Dailymotion
    TwitchTV
    Livestream
    UStream

    So we can only watch videos uploaded to these sites which means that we won't be watching the latest blockbusters ):

    The urpg room for cytube can be found HERE , this is an open room so feel free to use the room whenever and not just during movie nights

    Another point I'd like to make, is that even if you have NO intention of ever watching movies with us dorks please fill out the poll for future community events

    Sorry for not following up on this straight away but after the less than successful trial run we tried shortly after the thread was posted I didn't want to make any concrete announcements since finding a movie that a) is available to everyone, b) is available on youtube and c) people would actually be interested in is actually pretty hard lol

    I'm currently looking into a potential way to get fairly recent movies on the go, (like within the last few years) but not making any promises, if that falls through then unfortunately we'll have to stick to youtube movies which 90% are lame ):

    but while I look into that I can announce a movie night to hold us over for the next 2 weeks.

    Midnight 00:00 GMT+1 This saturday we will be watching FROZEN (2013)


    Be there to sing along or be square

    I've found a way to reliably host good movies on cytube now so I should be able to make this a regular fortnightly thing starting friday, saturday or sunday.

    So if there is that one movie you haven't gotten around to watching then IM/VM/PM/Post here and i'll see about getting it sorted, i'll post a poll or something the day before assuming I get requests.

    'official' movie nights will be delayed by a week due to the lack of requests, if there aren't requests by next week then i'll just start watching movies I want to watch lol

    this week though i'll just play the movie Gravity (2013) in just under 3 hours from now
