TYK, ever-awesome sage, for taking this newbie by the hand and leading me towards fandom chats!
I must have misapprehension about Skype. I thought it was going to involve that I had to buy and install a webcam and voice-over equipment (which is why I hadn't yet gotten involved with Skype). From what you've written it seems I don't need to buy any additional equipment...that the communication is by keyboard, not voice-and-visuals?
As for the thing about the VLC player and "when we watch something, someone counts down and everyone presses play," are the episodes, when we watch them, residing in cyberspace like when I use the VLC player to listen to podfics...or is there something I'm supposed to pre-load in advance of the viewing party?
Oh gods how I love that fandom is always leading me to learn new things, do new things!
