:o Woah, cool!

My sister was thinking about auditioning, but we didn't have enough time. How many kids were there?

Maybe 60-65. More than I was expecting.
I went to callbacks and they were more fun then yesterday. Their were about 35 kids there today. The scripts were much better and more easy to ad-lib. They decided to have a third callback next week, so I'll have to look out for an email soon.

My. OAC. Stuff. Came. This might be one of the best days of my life. I put the bumper sticker on the wall next to my bed. xD

That's awesome, Mara! Yeah, I wanted to audition, but the night before, I got a black eye. =P So much for that.

Well, look who's returned from the dead.
So. The OAC.
I was on the fence about this thing for a looooooong time. What convinced me to try it out was, ironically, something my church got for free--a subscription to RightNow Media for the entire church, which has a boatload of stuff that is on Jellytelly.com. So, I said to myself, "Okay--we'll drop the JellyTelly Subscription, and let's give OAC a try."
Now, I don't own a large percentage of the Odyssey albums, so that's already a HUGE point in OAXs favor, but you know what I HAVEN"T seen listed as a plus yet by anyone?
All the bonus features from the albums are on the OAC. The videos you have to put the CDs in the computer to see, the bonus Live Shows and extra episodes--they're ALL there. That is a BIG selling point for me. The new episodes are very well done so far as well. So far, I'm a fan of the OAC--though if I was an avid collector of the albums--yeah, I can see why the price would seem steep. I am a fan so far, though. :)

They dropped the price of the first month to five bucks if you use the promo code OAC. We at least get the first month for cheaper. They sort of listened to our suggestion about the cheaper first month. Maybe we can get them to change the price to five dollars a month, every month. :twisted: I might actually try it out for a month now!

What does everyone think of FOTF finally releasing the Harley episodes for the OAC? Would this influence anyone who does not have the Club to consider joining? And does this make the Club more enjoyable to those who already have it?

I LOVED that they added the Harley episodes. Now I have only 2 episodes (both "lost") to listen to yet, and then I will have listened to them all. :D

Awesome as having all those episodes sounds, isn't it a hair overwhelming? Having so many virtual copies located in the same place? And does it ever make your computer crash? (In case you all haven't noticed yet, I'm one of the OAC wet blankets. More like dripping-soaked-through blankets.)

It's streaming off of a remote server, so it shouldn't cause your computer to crash.

So you're complaining about having too many AIO episodes in one place? Overwhelming? More like awesome. I'd think the Great PF could find an argument a little more convincing ;) ;)

no crashes here.

The more they add, the more I think the price is worth it.

Just added: The ENTIRE Last Chance Detectives series--video and audio. :)

PF: You can only stream one episode at a time. That won't crash your computer. :)

How large was the Last Chance Detectives series? And, does anyone know the number of how many have signed up for the Club? (i.e., Is everything going well financially with the OAC?)

Three videos, three hour long audio dramas. 6 hours of content in total.

LCD only consisted of three audio dramas? I thought it had a few albums to its credit.

When I had my sample of it, I know it ran real slow. The reason for that was it loads all the episode data at once. I just find it frustrating that they are pushing it so much on the podcast and then I can't hear it. Though I will say they probably made the right choice in finding a replacement for Zach. Just from yesterdays preview, the family sounded odd compared to 2010.

Zach's replacement isn't as bad as I thought it might be, actually. I'm surprised. Am I the only one who almost mistook Matthew's voice for Katrina?

Old Judge: Nope--only 3 to my knowledge. :)
Mr. Whit's--if you're talking about "Mission: Unacomplished:" Chris still lists Zack in the credits--so I'm assuming that's still him. :)

I take it that Mission: Unaccomplished is an OAC episode?

Mission: Unaccomplished is an OAC episode and is also Zach's last episode with AIO.
