Just started Welcome to Night Vale, and it's really growing on me (not literally, though that might be possible?)
I think my favorite moment so far has been "Wednesday has been cancelled, due to a scheduling error."

"And now, slaves of the cloud..."
"The weather."

Okay I'm loving this so far. The pilot episode was kinda ehhh to me, but it's progressively getting better and better. Darn, now I want to make something with a theme like this...

WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE YESSSSS!
If you think it's getting better now, just you wait until the anniversary episodes. Aaaaaaaaaaaa it's so good, and so perfect for this time of year too!

Also, as a sidenote, I try my hardest never to judge something by its first episode. More often than not it's a pilot and doesn't capture the series itself very well. (My brother has the four-episodes test: if you don't want to keep watching after four episodes, then stop. But never before)
:usa: Yes.
:spain: Out of practice.
:finland: Failed to learn.
:vaticancity: Probably remember five words.

Yeah pilot episodes are rarely indicative of the quality of the remainder - I remember watching the pilot of Steven Universe, which is quite... different.
I think marathoning Night Vale will be my Halloween celebrations, sitting alone in a basement like a normal well-adjusted adult :P

I have only four episodes of WTNV left to hear and that feels a bit weird and sad (when I started there were 66 in stock...)
BUT I got my WTNV novel today! :)

Hear ye hear ye, we have a Night Vale thread.

I take it the minibank is just another name for those hole-in-the-wall ATM machines? If so, how high up are they in Norway??

As far as I recall the buttons are normally at belt and navel-height. Exceptions do occur I guess.

Yes, people's belt and navel-height depends greatly on the person. For me we're talking more like... almost chest-height.

My town was talking about putting in a dog park....
That reminds me that I think I have a WTNV episode that I haven't listened to.

That gave me a delightful mental image involving hobbits and a bank in Mordor/Erebor.

Same thing for me, but with Over the Garden Wall. And not really in a basement, but the principle still stands.

* starfallz also joins the corner.

* mith wonders how many people a corner can hold before it's a room and not a corner, but follows anyway

At this point I'm just hoping I'll have enough by the time all the books come out (and that there'll be enough reprints...)

I have also once liven a year in the official real life equivalent or Mordor - Birmingham, UK. Not kidding here, Tolkien was somewhat influenced by Bham when he wrote about Mordor.

I'm imagining forumites all trying to squeeze into one corner... :))
