Just listened to the pilot episode and immediately linked it to a bunch of people I know. This is an awesome concept. It really makes me miss cool anthology shows actually being a thing on TV.

What does Cecil really look like? I always imagined him as a Rod Serling type.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:You know, it's probably a good idea to separate the two more explicitly, since apparently some people have problems with that. I think it must be very weird for actors who play fictional characters with their same names, like Jerry Seinfeld, and even weirder for an actor to play a character with their name that they didn't create. This is why the actor who plays Dennis on It's Always Sunny specifically didn't want his characters name to be his real name like the rest of the cast.

Len posted:PC. I set its audio type to podcast and made every possible thing I could fill in "Welcome to Night Vale" and the only way I could even find it was to make a smart playlist. Find the folder in your iTunes folder where it keeps your downloaded podcasts in File Explorer. Drag and drop Condos into there. Then right click one of the podcasts that were from iTunes and make note of every single setting it has in the "more information" screen. Then apply those same things, artist, type, genre, etc. to the Condos mp3. Then add it manually to your iTunes library, and it SHOULD show up in there.

A while back someone in here suggested another podcast that was horror themed. They did a lot of lovecraft adaptations and the like. Anyone remember the name of this?

Annakie posted:You might be thinking of The Thrilling Adventure Hour, which is all done in the style of old-time radio. The segment Beyond Belief is all about a couple who faces supernatural threats, some of which are Lovecraftian in nature. The episode before last was called "When Cthulhu Cthalls" and was all about some Old Ones rising. Nah, I already listen to that. This one did original stuff as well, but it also did real adaptations and was actually horror based.

In real life a numbers station wouldn't have a call sign because it's a short wave station ran by the government, not a commercial radio station on FM or AM radio.

The only thing I don't like about the Cecil/Carlos relationship is the fact that I can already tell Carlos is probably going to die whenever the poo poo that is looming on the horizon actually goes down. But then again maybe being a Joss Whedon fan has just ruined me when it comes to accepting that fictional character sometimes get to have relationships that aren't horribly destroyed the moment they find happiness...

Dark Grapefruit posted:There's no way they're going to kill off Carlos unless they want to alienate most of the audience. They already fake-killed him and that was distressing enough. There's no way Joss Whedon will kill off Angel/Tara/Anya/Cordelia/Wash unless they want to alienate a big part of the audience

Tatum Girlparts posted:Yea but the Nightvale people know how to write a satisfying story without lovely surprise murder so, ya know. If you do a story where there is a large amount of danger and don't kill SOMEONE who is a major "untouchable" member of the cast, then the next time you do something where there is danger no one is going to believe it. Whedon overused it, but it's a sound principle. I don't actually think it'll be Carlos who gets it, but I wouldn't be shocked to see one of the major named characters get offed when all this stuff finally pops off. And if not then next time they try and do a story line like this I probably won't care because everyone will most likely get out safe again.

I hope they keep Cecil gone for at least 3 months. Not so long that it becomes too much, but long enough that we all really start to miss him and get super hype for his return.

Action Yak Police posted:poo poo, I should really start reading that series. I've been avoiding it since Stephen King usually has real trouble with endings but he's got a second guy on board so maybe he'll fix that problem? If you're looking for a good ending, The Dark Tower is not something you should read.

It would make Lowtax's head explode. I was going to ask if this is a thing that really exists, but of course it is. Then I was going to ask why it is a thing that exists, but I already know the answer to that too. Humanity is doomed.

It doesn't seem like any of them are aware of this thread or that Night Vale is a production of One Of Us, and that might not be the worst thing in the world, to be perfectly honest. But as another onlooker pointed out, goons have a seventh sense when it comes to spotting failed projects. It seems like everyone in there gets that it's all DashCon being gently caress ups.

Humidity is usually the killer here too. From my understanding we are kind of the lite version of Chicago, minus the wind. We get the worst extremes of both Summer and Winter.
