Title: Don't tell me
Post by: cdugger on January 21, 2010, 03:02:13 AM: Um, why is Variant Frequencies not online? Did something happen that I didn't know about?

What gives?

Post by: DKT on January 21, 2010, 03:08:19 AM: I'm sure it's just a glitch, and shot Rick an email letting him know it was down. But I'm 100% sure they're not going anywhere anytime soon :)

Post by: cdugger on January 21, 2010, 03:13:51 AM: I hope they are staying put! They are one of my regular injec, uh, fixes! I spend more time downloading than I do eating, now. That should mean a shrinking waistline, but that hasn't happened yet.

Too many calories in the podcasts, I think...

Post by: cdugger on January 21, 2010, 12:53:50 PM: Now that's funny, because Title Fight is my favorite from the site. Didn't care much for The Failed Cities Christmas series, but it wasn't horrible. The other stories are pretty good.

still down.
Title: Re: Don't tell me
Post by: DKT on January 30, 2010, 02:28:16 AM: Aaaaaaaand, they're back ;D
Title: Re: Don't tell me
Post by: cdugger on January 30, 2010, 03:28:17 AM: YES! They are back!

I've been getting a little shaky without it, man, had to start listening to some other podcasts man, and, like, you know, they're good and all that, but they ain't the Variant, man, you know what I'm talking about? I gotta have me some Variant, man.

Post by: cdugger on January 30, 2010, 02:49:33 PM: Yeah, man, you, you got some Variant?
Title: Re: Don't tell me
Post by: DKT on January 30, 2010, 07:49:10 PM: Talk to me in a couple of weeks, actually... ;)

Hope you all like it!
Title: Re: Don't tell me
Post by: cdugger on February 12, 2010, 02:14:16 AM: Got it! I'll listen to it tomorrow at work.
Title: Re: Don't tell me
Post by: cdugger on February 16, 2010, 02:03:56 AM: Sorry, I couldn't get to it until today.

Very, very good. It met my first requirement: I enjoyed it!

I don't know if I've heard the previous tale, but I am going to find it.

Keep it up! I want more from that world.

Dani does go British on us again. Hope it won't keep you away!

God DAMN it, I wish she'd knock it off -- she's a fine reader otherwise. The worst was when she did an entire episode of Truth Seekers in that accent. Apparently she thought it was funny.

Oh well... I liked the first story so I'll just suffer it.
Title: Re: Don't tell me
Post by: cdugger on February 20, 2010, 12:27:07 AM: Liked the first one almost as much as the second!

Some of the themes aren't my favorite, but well put together!
