Man at Arms: Art of War

[Drunk Monk]

I wonder what DM is going to post on Thursday? Any guesses?

Friday I’m gonna telecommute.

FTMFW!

I did take some notes. I should’ve taken more notes.

Okay, I'm signed up for a free trial of VRV Premium as of now.  But I'm flying blind.

Things I don't know:

1) Where is Season 2?  When I do a search of Man at Arms, all I see is the 8-episode Season 1.  Since this is a VOD service, do season 2 episodes just pop up after airing?

2) Am I going to be able to cast this to my TV?  Haven't looked at the FAQ yet.  Maybe straightforward.  I'm not a total Luddite.  Honest.

3) Will Season 3 be more sensitive to current events and be renamed Man and Woman at Arms?  Then again, by then, a more appropriate renaming might be, Man at Arms and the Woman Who Service Their Swords.

Added VRV channel to my Roku 3, signed in, all set for TV viewing.

I saw a forum with people complaining about VRV's bad implementation on Roku, how it keeps hanging, with posts as recent as a month ago.  Hard to evaluate this without knowing how many people are having problem-free service.  But am hopeful.

1. No idea.  I'm hopeful that it shows up soon, maybe earlier because of the East Coast broadcast.  But then again, maybe later.  We shall see.
2. I use my iPhone and my AppleTV.  There's a screen mirroring function that works great.
3. We got Crystal.  And Bella.  And Diana.  And just wait until you meet Janell.  She wears armor.  You like armor.  It's like spacesuits, but it's armor.  Whatev.  It's better than knickers.

OK - Set the recorder. I hope this show pairs well with scotch.

Definitely. All my work pairs well with scotch. 

Bummed that VRV doesn’t update in real time. I hope I don’t have to wait until tomorrow for S2e1. I’ve onoy seen the rough cut.

Yeah, I tried to find it, but nothing so far.

[Drunk Monk]

Only not onoy - whazzup spelchek?

VOD services can be weird. Sometimes it’ll upload soon after the broadcast. Sometimes the next day. Still waitin...

Still nothing on VRV. Now I’m longing for sling.

VRV has failed me tonight

I am a sad panda

[Greg]

I have it on my DVR. I will watch it today.

[Drunk Monk]

Still not on VRV
Gotta write some emails and complain

---

Emailed both VRV & El Rey.  I was polite.

I have the direct contact for El Rey's president, but I don't want to tap that quite yet.  He was very happy with the article I published on KFM yesterday so that's a good thing.  Maybe I'll reach out later today if I don't get my Man at Arms S2 on VRV soon. 

cf - I'll keep you in the loop here but if you want to make your own inquiries (or just double down on mine)

Suckers.

Suckers.

A *real* friend would burn it to a disk and drive it up personally for DM’s viewing enjoyment. While wearing knickers.

[cranefly]

I'm on the verge of going to the library and asking for my money back.

No, wait.  I only do that for the books I don't like.

BTW, the Mountain View Library now has someone specifically for dealing with me.  Willa is her name.  When they see me headed for the front desk, they summon her from the back room.

Willa is this shy little thing, skinny, with oversized glasses, wearing a gray floor-length dress.  She barely ever looks up from the floor at me.  But she listens to my complaints, nodding time to time, and when I'm done she reaches into a small pocket in her dress and pulls out some loose change: a few pennies, a nickel or two, occasionally even a dime.  And she mumbles an apology while handing it to me.

It's never much.  But it's the principle, you know, and I always feel better afterwards, having put the library in its place.

EL REY and VRV have no idea who they're about to deal with.

That would be more than just a friend.  Knickers takes it to the next level.

If you'll recall, I used to work at Sunnyvale Public Library.  All those librarian types, don't let them fool ya.  They're freaks at parties.  Eating goat head tacos.  Rocking out to Ladysmith Black Mambazo.  Wearing birkenstocks. Okay, that's actually all I got.  They aren't really freaks.  They're sweet literate polite kinda-quirky people.  The goat head tacos was the only thing that was a tad extreme.

Here's what I emailed to VRV:

Hello.
I subscribed to VRV expressly to watch season 2 of Man at Arms.  The show is advertised as available on VRV.  But the opening episode, which aired yesterday, is still not available.

Please make this available ASAP.

Thank you for your time.

Here's what I got from VRV:

Hey Gary,
Thanks for contacting us!
We currently only have the first season.
