Movie/Game Night

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Well, I have to say, I'm an,"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of girl.

Oh, me too. Unfortunately, CyTube, the site we’ve been using, only supports YouTube so does us precisely no good at all for Netflix.

 

[Julie Justice]

Yeah, it's always a love/hate relationship with technology/websites, isn't it? Lol.

OK, I'll try that reddit, or whatever, then.

 

[Jacqueline Hyde]

Well, it sounds like rabb.it is people's preference, so that's what we'll go with.

I'll set up the room at the appointed time (same time as always? any objections?) and post a link to the room and the generic login here.

 

[Julie Justice]

Yeah, the time is fine. I'll either make it at 8:00 or maybe a few minutes later, as long as that doesn't make a difference logging in.

Thanks, @Jacqueline.

Viewers under Rabbit each must have a Netflix account, right? I prefer getting it off the big screen, so might just do that. Let me know if you have instructions for the uninitiated, @Jacqueline Hyde.

No, I'll stream it for everyone. If we use Rabbit, no one needs a Netflix account.

I have a Rabb.it account as @Patts I haven't used it much. ?

Well, you can use it tonight!

I will get the room set up around 7:30 tonight and put the link up to give everyone a chance to get logged in.

 

[Patty]

Yays for using THINGS!

Okay, I've got the room up and playing some ABBA for the moment. To access it:

1. Go to this link: Rabbit
2. Click the "Log In" button in the top-right corner
3. If you have your own rabb.it account, you can sign in with it. If you don't, use [redacted].

Let me know if you have problems. If I'd been thinking we'd have done some testing. Ah well.

Okay, some options for next week:

1. Carmen game shows - I floated the idea above (last page?) of watching maybe 2 eps with each thief.

2. Jackbox Party Pack games - Fun party games like Tee K.O. (combine other players' drawings and slogans to make T-shirts), Trivia Murder Party (exactly what it sounds like), and Quiplash (come up with funny answers to questions... kind of like Hollywood Squares or Pointless). But uh, do any of us actually have one of them?

3. The Magic School Bus - Another educational '90s cartoon. We would absolutely not watch the whole thing, just a few eps, definitely including the one with Grandma Rita as a paleontologist.

4. Absolutely Fabulous - My actual favorite TV show. British comedy about two women who come up with excuses to avoid work so they can smoke and drink and do drugs all day. It's funnier than it sounds. Lots of jokes at the expense of stupid famous people.

5. Ouran High School Host Club - A favorite of the TECS Anime Club. A poor girl has to pose as a rich boy and entertain her female classmates to pay off a debt. (Despite the Japanese link, we could watch the English dub.)

6. One Day at a Time - Sitcom about a family with a single mom, a lesbian (nonbinary, iirc?) teenager, and Grandma Rita as, er, the grandma.

Important: We've just made the executive decision in chat to do this on Saturday evening/Sunday morning next week, rather than Friday evening/Saturday morning.

So whatever we do, next week's movie night will be Saturday, April 6 at 8 p.m. EDT.
