Chat with Chuck Rescheduled for September 1st


Recommended Posts

A quick note: this latest chat's official page count is nineteen!

Since Binaryan didn't mentioned it, I'll throw out that Chuck gave out a special code to get free Minimates from DST for everyone that showed up for the chat. He said it was because we should dedication to the line and all those other people who blew off the chat weren't worthy of it.

I bet now all you people that decided to skip this for more important things are kicking yourself now. You should learn that time with your families and friends or working is not at all better than time with Minimates.

They also mentioned something about hopping on one foot and rubbing your tummy while spinning around three times, and then sending your nearest TRU some Kang-flavored muffins to redeem the Super Secret Special Edition Bonus Prize.

Of course, Minimates > baby

Seems like a pretty simple concept, right? I don't know why I keep forgetting that.

Funny enough, the first time the chat came around the program didn't work for me. Last night I had to miss it, but logged in and was able to chat just fine after the thing was over.

i feel the opportunity given us to ask Chuck questions was ruined due to unnesscessary "chatting", people comming in late(which is fine) but everyone then having to say hi to that person, and just nonsense type "comments" many questions went unanswered probably due to the hard to follow "flow". If we get the chance again I'd hope we could do better.

Hi ...I fell asleep & missed the lot. As for the nonsense....you should thank the Gods I fell asleep....imagine how bad it could have been :unsure:

Matt that 'unnesscessary' is probably my most favourite spellling of all time :D

..... only playing ;)

I don't think this affected Chuck's ability to answer our questions at all. If you watch the little box that shows when someone is typing, as soon as someone asked a question, Chuck started typing a response. The "chatting" was just people passing the time until Chuck was done typing. Then someone else would ask a question, and Chuck would go to work again. While I was there he didn't miss any of the one-per-turn questions. If anything, I think the additional chatting made the whole event even more fun. Now if only I hadn't mixed up CST with EST, I would have been there earlier...

If you don't like the "chatting" aspect of the chat, perhaps you could direct your questions to Chuck through the DST Q&As instead.

except this was supposed to be to ask questions not just chat and we were all asked to conduct ourselves in an orderly respectful manner not like a bunch of unruly children. thanks for another unnecessary comment though!

if you look back at the transcript he was asked at least twice about battle beast- no answer, asked for details on future marvel movie mates and answered that based on past marvel movies that we should expect mates for the new ones. not really an answer to the question asked but again due to the confusing chat it was what we got, at some point someone actually says" this is confusing" yet that person continues with the nonsense "Me too" type comments. i just feel as a community that is always is bitching that we dont have enough info(which may or may not be true)on future mates we wasted a perfectly good opportunity to get some of our questions answered and as for the "Ask DST" forum its not all its cracked up to be and definately not as good as being able to ask Chuck live.

^^ The irony in someone criticizing behavior as "childlike" in a petulant, whiny manner.

who's whining? and if you are going to quote someone use the actual quote i said "unruly children" not childlike.

Any hint of Wave 38, and whether or not it is related to the TRU Fantastic Four wave?

If I understood what Chuck said right (I might not have), the TRU FF wave is separate from LCS releases except for one pack. Does that sound right to anyone else there?

thats what i got too.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't enjoy it Metallica, from the other comments it sounded like everyone else thought it went well.

Did anyone actually manage to get a full transcript?, Sadly I was working and missed this one & like many others would like to read what was actually said... Chuck can be cryptic sometimes and his exact use of words can be very telling.

To address the "unruly" chat, it is, what it is. Gift horse...mouth...and all that. However, I did get a little frustrated when questions were tossed out without prompting as it kinda confused things, but I don't think anyone acted badly or intended any confusion. Need I point out that SuperSpiderPiggy was absent from this session?! It could have been worse.

As for transcript, I think I dropped the ball here. During the last chat session with Chuck, the transcripts were collected by someone other than me and I did not realize that the chat history falls off after a while, meaning that when I chose to copy the transcript and the end of the session (reasonable idea, yes?), most of the beginning had deleted itself from record. Therefore, I have about half the session. My fault!

I think we need a better Chat client as ParaChat is not cheap and sucks balls (IMO). I did leave it open to let folks continue with their discussions. It was asked, why we don't leave it open all the time. The answer is that with this client, we can't monitor it. If we (staff) are to be somewhat responsible for what goes on at this site, we cannot alow an unmonitored chat client to run as crazy things can be said, arranged, & carried out. I do not think there is a single current member who means ill-will, but it would not stop any other creeps who discover a free chat client from registering an account and starting "porn-chat", "pediphile-chat", etc.

Hopefully, we can resolve this in the future. Thanks to Chuck for hanging out and answering our questions. Thanks to all who showed up for participating and representing our hobby.

not that i didnt "like" it tdt just thought it could have been more constructive than a free for all chat, plenty of sites for that sort of thing on the net.

Well it was a chat, that's what it was billed as and what everyone except you expected. Chuck is very relaxed with these sorts of things and from my dealings with him he prefers it that way rather than just a simple stream of questions.

Also... I didn't say "Like" I said "enjoy"... If you are going to pick others up on misquoting you on single words then please at least try not to do it to other or you will come across as hypocritical.

I understand it was perhaps not all you had hoped for & it's fine you voiced that but the persistence with your complaint after you have already made your point means you are starting to come off as a bit of an arse.

Thanks for organizing this. It was fun to be a part of it and Chuck was great to take time out to do this.

One idea for the next one: Lightning round of character suggestions where we name a character and Chuck replies with short responses... like a Magic Eight-ball for future 'Mates.

No. I distinctly remember Chuck saying "No Kang. Ever." That was followed quickly by "No BCTtA" set. I scare your pain.

That was fun, I enjoyed it a lot. And trust me, I've been in insane chat rooms, and that was nothing. Chuck nailed all the questions that he wanted to.

Also, it was decided afterwords that the first Minimate Convention will be in Canada. :P
