Disco, Tier, Miez, Cat and Grundislav and I want to say:
"We're almost in Florence, thanks for being part of this memorable week in the Tuscan hills."
Dancing Hitler, blue Jesus and penis pasta - it was memorable! :D
Moretti, movie, marvellous food - great week with cool people. ^_^
Honourable mention to Gelateria Snoopy! Schultz gotta get paid!!
Best vacation of my life, beautiful scenery, wonderful food, great people as always.
It has been such a pleasure to know such marvellous & talented & nice people. Yay for Mittens 2010!
I made it to Bergamo Airport in time and I've been home for a while now. It feels strange, just this morning I was in the lovely italian countryside and now, just a few hours later, I'm in a cold and rainy Gothenburg.
It was great to meet everyone again. Also, to Francesco, Cat, Gunnar, Jake, Jen & Kimi, who I hadn't seen before. I'm very glad to have met you guys. To Mods, I think it's awesome how you involved everyone in the film, it seems everyone had a good time being part of it. Can't wait to see it finished, but I hate missing the last of the dailies :P. Oh and thanks to CJ, Darren & Marco for driving us all over Italy!
It was a wonderful Mittens and I'm already looking forward to the next one.
Before I left Bergamo airport I had a look in one of the shops and was amused to find that out of all the pasta, only the penis pasta seemed popular, considering there was just one or two packages left!
Here are some of my photos:
http://www.gaspop.com/mittens2010
There are more of them but there are some I didn't post in case I spoil things for mods. Also, if anyone wants them in their original sizes let me know.
Yep, I have most the same feelings as Chrille - it's a little weird to be back in the rainy Netherlands after a week with wonderful people. I had a fantastic time; both meeting new people as well as catching up with those I've met before...
Some of my pictures can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/miezpiez/sets/72157624550325325/
See you all next year! ;D
PS: sorry Esseb for keeping you awake with snoring ::)
Hello. Disco and I are still in Italy until friday so I my photos won't be up anytime soon. I will put up the group photo though! :=
(http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg217/scaled.php?tn=0&server=217&filename=mattot.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640)
Top row: Chrille, m0ds, Kimi, Miez,DutchMarco,Cat, Jake, Disco,Pumaman,AGA,Snarky,Grundislav,Bicilotti,Esseb,Quintaros.
Bottom row: Me and Creed Malay.
Good times :D
Just arrived home as well, my pictures can be found here (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=471201&id=885365211&l=3d6d28a57c) and I'll have the videos up in the next few days, hopefully.
This was one of my favorite Mittens so far (of course they have all been wonderful) but the combination of scenery, food, and always lovely people made it great.
Caterina, Francesco, and Matt were wonderful new additions to the group, and it was wonderful to see everyone again. Also, hopefully we didn't scare the significant others Kim and Jen too much.
Sorry to Jake and Esseb for not saying goodbye.
Bring on O'Mittens 2011!
The place you got this year looks pretty awesome.
And I see Disco dyed his hair for the occasion, as well! Glad you guys had fun.
As per usual, regretting I didn't go!
There have now been more mittens I've missed than I've attended :(
Seems like you've had an awesome time, nice with some new mittens faces as well.
I got home yesterday in the morning after a nice day in Florence with Disco and Tier and a night at the train.
It was a fantastic week and I did really enjoy meeting all you guys. Thanks for the nice welcome to your group!
I'm looking forward to next year's Mittens!
I just got back today after a rough couple of layovers in Milan and Zurich. Only got to the hotel in Milan around 9 on Saturday (Quintaros very graciously shuttling people around for nearly 12 hours straight), and only with the help of Darren's girlfriend's iPhone. Then discovered that with all my luggage, seeing Milan was not really a viable option (the hotel was too far out of the center to come back for the bags later, and there were huge lines for the storage lockers in the central station), so I ended up spending most of the day at the airport, only for my flight to be delayed so I missed my connection and had to spend the night in Zurich. Which ironically is where I'll be moving to in a couple of weeks; it was almost tempting to just stay there.
The upshot is that what should had taken one day (if I'd flown out of Rome, for example) ended up taking nearly three. And I had to give up the can of truffle oil from the wine tasting going through security. Damn!
Anyway, it was a great Mittens and a great time. Good to see all of you again or for the first time!

Sounds really rough. If there's one thing I hate, it's being stuck in airports. Glad it sounds like you all had a good time, though!
I got back yesterday after a night in Bristol airport, glad to be home but definitely missing you folks and the scenery (and pool).. It was great to see oldies and new people alike, it was a lot of fun. Everyone was a real sport with helping on the movie so thank you very much! Special thanks to Quintaros for all your driving, it was a real life saver, sorry I didn't drive on the last day - I was still paranoid after I drove on the wrong side of the road on the first day :P Thanks CJ and Marco for also taking me places! I should specially thank Gunnar too, not only for your epic contribution to the movie but also for allowing Mittalia 2010 to happen for me. Send me the bill :) Thanks to the translators too, Bici, Grundy... le te te :)
The place itself was lovely, plenty of space and comfortable beds, just a few annoying mosquito bites and a moving toilet door frame the only real problems. I spent yesterday downloading all the footage and working round problems. There's an issue with audio which I've been trying to clear up (and explain) but til I've got it fixed heres a 30 second low quality teaser of the Italy stuff without audio - http://www.screen7.co.uk/junc/bj2_tease.wmv (1.4mb) I had a nice chat with an Italian lady on the plane home and explained what the villa was all about - and she asked if Ben Jordan was Jewish ;D
Now I'm back to my shitty PC with all its problems and erasures it makes me glad for what we had at Mittens 2010...well, okay, steady internet connection wasn't one of those things! The games at show and tell all looked fantastic, so thanks for bringing them along. Thanks for playing the quiz too, well done to the winners :)
Another highly successful Mittens, great crowd and good discussion and activities. I hope everyone else makes it back safely and yes, to see you at O'Mittens 2011 :)
Am I missing a codec or something or is that movie clip supposed to be like a slideshow of stills?
Awright! The official (and aptly named) Mittalia feedback thread!
It was great meeting up with all the fabulous regulars again - you do make it worth the long and somewhat arduous trip every time! As for the new Mitteneers (not referring to the mixed vodka + whisky (which I didn't like BTW, burnt too strongly in my throat - and my throat is quite resistant to alcoholic burns)), you where the icing on the cake - hope to see you again next year (in an Irish castle or wherever). And Gunnar, I was relieved to see that my concerns about the linnen where unfounded - as where my concerns about the toiletpaper!
It was a divine vilal in a divine area - just the place where one would expect god to turn up - and god apparently has wikipedia access, so that means that not all internet access in Italy is as wonky as in our villa, right?)
My trip home was an expërience all of itself - shortly after Lucignano I ran into heavy traffic, when I finally got to Arese for the Alfa Romeo Museo Storico, I arrived that asturday around 17:00 hoping it qouldn't be closd for feeding time, like the supermarket. Butit turned out to be closed during every weekend - not that that mattered much though, because if I'd arrived a few days earlier or later it'd still be closed - all of August until the 29th.
I had considered getting an extra hotel because the trip to the museum had already taken up much time, add the museum visit itself which would have taken up even more time, and my planned night in Basel might just be a trip too far - especially with all the extra traffic jams I got in, insteaad of wasting more petrol standing still very often I spent a few hours standing still on the parking space, and when traffic looked milder (only slightly so) I went back on the road again - and I programmed my Garmin to seek the nearest hotel - which went quite disastrously.
The Garmin kept telling me to take a certain exit, when I did, it would announce it was recalculating my route (as if I'd taken a wrong turn), then tell me to turn back, and I ended up going back up and out of the same exit time and again), so I kept going back to the motorway, and cancelled my plans to go to that particular hotel, instead I kept on driving (on mostly empty motorways - thank goodness) to the hotel in Basel. I was told a room would cost me €55, when I got there at 4:00, it turned out to be €64.88 and the next morning I found that breakfast cost €11. On the way to Mittaly I stayed in a big and posh hotel in Germany (Sporthotel Moselblick), which cost me €0.12 more, including a proper breakfast and a bathtub in my room (more accurately, in my room's bathroom).
Anyway, I got home at 18:00 after my stupid satnav guiding me from Switzerland through France, Germany, Belgium and finally! Holland! (I had set it to give me the fastest route, which in France sseemed to run through these 50 km/h village streets - let's have a big cheer for modern technology! 'cause that might just be teh last one anyone gives for the time being.
And if my Synology's Photostation won't let me down, you should be able to find my photo+film-collection on http://home.ooijer.com/photo (http://home.ooijer.com/photo) stupidly enough, it seems to not want to allow anonymous access as of yet - but keep an eye out - I'll keep on trying to stubbornly fix this, so one day (/year) I might just get it to work.

Sorry to hear that, this is why I never use sat-navs! Map and brain is far better technology, even if you can't reproduce a Walken voice in your mind!!

...
Hah! You weren't paranoid after having been driven by me, now where you?
Thanks, that's very nice of you. :)
It's also funny to see how you're thanking
us for participating in the movie - while we're thanking you for letting us play in one (if even for only some small roles), I must also say that Snarky was the star of the show/movie, in all honesty, I feel he even outperformed Ben F. Jordan.
Wow, people haven't wasted time I see. I only just got back and there are already three photo albums up, and a Ben Jordan trailer too. Fast work, Mods.
It was great to see you all again, and to meet the new attendees also. Hope to see you all in Ireland or Puerto Rico next year.
Miez: You've got an amazing snore. It kept me awake, but was amazing to listen to.
Quote from: DutchMarco on Mon 09/08/2010 20:43:52

First, sorry to break this, as only smiles and nostalgy feel my face when I read those kind of topics. But I knew it all along.. Ben Jordan's middle name is F$%&&@!. That explains so much. Also where is the movie m0ds?
I have certain information that an italian agser will have
Spoiler
sex
with
Spoiler
God
. Is this information in form of a riddle? Did some certain individual mixed his words..?
Damn jealous guys.
Mark, love the trailer. Can't wait to see the full thing. It's just a shame ol' Jean Pierre couldn't make an appearance.
Moar Pictures!
Mittens was a great laugh as usual; it was fantastic to see you all again, and to welcome Francesco and Cat to the fold!
Thanks to m0ds for organising the quiz and filming, to Francesco, Francisco, Jen and Cat for translating, to the Blue Bar Man for having an awesome moustache, and to Drunken Waiter Roberto for finding Jen's sunglasses. Oh, and of course, thanks to you all for coming!
Great pics Chrille, miez and Grundy! Mine are here (too lazy to caption them this year), I'll try to edit together the Mittens Movie over the next couple of months:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/mittens2010/
EDIT: oh also, I've updated the forum titles. They should all be working (except m0ds, whose title never works in the Adventure Related Chat forum for some strange reason!), the criteria is based on number of mittens attended:
1 = Mittens Initiate
2 = Mittens Faithful
3 = Mittens Regular
4 = Mittens Liege
5 = Mittens Addict
6 = Mittoholic
7+ = Mittician
Let me know if I've cocked yours up or missed anyone.
Nice photos folks! :) Some stunning scenery and architecture in Italy. And moustaches!
And ha, yeah, Ben F. Jordan! :=
QuoteMark, love the trailer. Can't wait to see the full thing. It's just a shame ol' Jean Pierre couldn't make an appearance.
A shame indeed Mr Keepence, consider the Ryan-air plane your cameo :p It took me 2 hours to get that shot! And the help of a kind Italian lady in the airport info-desk who charged my camera.
QuoteThat explains so much. Also where is the movie m0ds?
Jim, Mittens was 22 scenes of 38, so once the rest are shot in the UK it will be ready, but it's really coming together! I've edited quite a few scenes and they work really well. And yes, Snarky's performance is superb...all that freaky touching... :) It looks to be about 15 minutes longer than the first, so will take a bit longer. Thanks for the support though!
Personally, I anticipate the new Melt the limit... it looked great from what I saw of it! Anyhoo, my pc is still shagged but here are some low quality screen caps.

Cheers CJ! And thank you for your enjoyable personality & company once again!
I finally made it to mittens, as you all know already:
(http://spentertainment.webs.com/medium_IMG_3288.jpg)
Yay! I'm Mittens Initiate Member!
I hope you had a cool roadtrip. Oh, and the trailer looks great!
So I finally got home a few hours ago. It was awesome as ever. I didn't take any photos myself, but those of you who appear in any of the ones Jen took have been tagged on Facebook.
But boo about there only being a seven plus Mittens title. We niners deserve a special title, damnit!
I arrived to a very very wet Bristol earlier. I have some photos but not many of them are really mittens-group-related, will go through them and upload the ones which are at some point (especially the Hitler invades night).
Had a great time at my first Mittens, looking forward to next year already!
Such a great picture:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/mittens2010/IMG_3338.html
Is that me, or Disco? My monitor isn't bright enough to see, and I'm just guessing by the shape of the hair.
That's you AGA, and poor Esseb is so scared.. :D
Taken from Ben "Fuckin" Jordan's actual notebook:
(http://www.miez.nl/tmp/bfj.jpg)
Again, super jealous. Were any discussions had about next year's location? I'm going to attend one of these someday...
OMFG SCARY STRANGER WHO THE HELL IS THIS?!
No but seriously, it's just Kimberleigh/Lucietta, your friendly neighborhood bossy psychic. I should have just told Ben it was Mr. Green in the lobby with the socket wrench.
In an (unprecedented?) twist of fate, I have joined the forums because of attending Mittens instead of the other way around. Gasp! Had a great time, finally found out what Creed was on about when he talks about this place so much. ;) I took about 270 photos according to my camera, I promise to share soon but we sorta have to borrow internet at the moment while we wait for connection so I'm not sure when.
We had a lovely time with Francesco and the trip home was exhausting but worth it. Never been so happy to see our own bed. Never did find flavored coffee. Bought Italian coffee from British store instead. MAGIC!
I'm even going to make a game soon. It is all your faults. Look what you have created. JUST LOOK! D:
Ha ha, thanks for an awesome trip and some good memories. Special thanks for including me in the filmings. I had a lot of fun, didn't even realize how much I'd missed my theater geek days.
We're finally slept up enough to type somewhat coherently, hooray.
An utterly wonderfull time as always, thanks to everyone who was there for making it so. The few weeks a year I get to spend with you guys really does feel like coming home to me.
Highlights include -
* The movie making - thanks to m0ds for listening to all my bollicky sugegstions and letting me shout in unwated influence without getting mad with me. You're an amazign director and it'sa great to get to see you working. Please don't make us sit on high ledges next time though. :P Thanks also to Grundislav for the awesome experience of Melting the Limit. I am honestly excited about seeing how it comes out, I think we got some really good stuff..
* The pool! Oh man, how I miss that pool.
* Exploring Milan under the guidence of Bicilloti. He showed us where Mussolini was killed, the worlds most gaudy cathederal, the worlds poshest mcdonalds, a secret way for merchants to communicate, a magical bull whose balls you can spin on for luck, and a castle with a moat full of cats. And not one bit of that is a lie. Also, he totally lives in a private eyes flat. Thanks a ton for letting us crash, matey.
* Everyone who contributed to the joy and fun playtimes. Great to see old friends, and great to see how open and wecolming we are to any newcomers. Love you guys, and am missing you already.
* and the NPCs! All the cats, including the poor, incarcerated Window Kitties, the Moustache Man from the Blue Bar, the terrible fancy dress commedian, Ronaldo the bestest drunken waiter in the world, and Blue Jesus.
I didn't manage to keep a comprehensive quote file this time, but I've a few scraps floating round, and I think other people jotted stuff down too. maybe one will coalesse in time.
And now it is Post Mittens Depression time. Hooray!

Hooray, I've finished editing Melt the Limit 4, and can proudly say it's the most coherent one yet! Although, considering it's a Melt the Limit movie, coherence can be disputed.
Check it out here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQYDkkzLw8k)
GRUNDISLAV THAT WAS GREAT!
Best scene is with Bicilotti. The hand grab just made me laugh so much!
Absolutely WONDERFUL! Brilliant little film, mr. Gonzalez.
Is there a downloadable version somewhere? This needs to be kept for posterity...
Ah, mr. Gonzalez, how touching, Fellini would be proud! Acting with Davy (Creed) was wonderful!
I wish I did a less pretensious voice acting. And wow, my big and balding head looks bigger and balder!

Oh man, I thought I had it right! Guess that's what I get for relying on my memory from a night soaked in whiskey!
Thanks to all for participating, the movie wouldn't have been possible without everyone's help.
It came out great, well done sir! The party scene was particularly riveting ;D
And no major plot holes, which is more than can be said about BJ2 :P
Well done though, another fine addition to the Melt the Combine Harverster series.
Most amusing video, thanks!
And nice to put a face to a (nick) name, bici!
Hello.
I am back in England now with Magintz, after an extra week spent between Florence and Venice. Italy has been one of my favourite places to visit so far!
Thanks to Matt for traveling and socialising with me, CJ for the occasional driving, new Mitteneers Cat, Jen, Kim, and Francesco (who I echo as an excellent host in Milan and a great guy in general!) for coming along, great meeting you all :D Big big thanks to Snarky for organising this year's meet.
Highlights for me were the adventure getting from Arezzo and to the villa, having more involvement in the BJ movie, the views to and from Lucignano, Cortona, gelato, being held hostage by rain and watching Italian dubbed Futurama in Siena, and of course Blue Jesus :o
Also fun but not exactly Mitteney was hanging out with Cat the day after in Florence :D
I have probably a hundred relevant photos, but will likely not have them up for a while yet as I won't be back home home for another 10 days yet.
That's fantastic, Francisco. Good job, everyone involved!
Oh man, Cisco, that is just awesome. It all came out wonderfully, I just wish we'd got some footage of the cat-prison. Thanks for letting me star!
Behind the scenes bonus factoid - after we'd filmed the scenes in the sunflower field, Cisco and me suddenly realised that each and every one of those flowers were *crawling* with bees. We exited the field very gingerly. So, that's my thoery to where all the bees are going. Italy.
A most funksome film. For some reason, I kept wanting to reach into the screen and stroke Creed's beard. Take from that what you will.
Here there be pictures-- of Mittens!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47694693@N02/
Yeah okay so I'm too lazy to do more than link to my photostream but c'mon, all the Italy stuff is in front. ;D
Good times, good times.
Officially DL'd the program now so I can work on the forthcoming game (and thanks to everyone who encouraged me to try it).
Awesome episode of Melt the Limit!
Great work Grundislav :)
Although it's hard to beat the profound Bergmanesque existentialism of "Proper things"...
Another Magical Melt the Limit!
A feast for the eyes, indeed!

Seems like this film's going to create quite a buzz.
Yesterday we had some pasta and the Chianti from Mittens. The wine was great, but we could not find the website where you should enter the code from the bottle. Perhaps there is no website and Andrea was also only "pretending to know it"?
Or else (http://tracciabilita.chianticlassico.com/)!
Does that work (this site seems only to cover chianti classico)?
Mille grazie!
Prego!
Take a screengrab of the result of the query! I'm curious :P

You people are so lucky thatyou drink wine, my mum tasted the red liquid the other day and she told me it was great, and it wasn't even the â,¬23 bottle, only the "cheaper" 13 euro one. If only I'd like the taste of wine I would have enjoyed that myself!
One rough edit later and I tell you - the "Mr Jordan" drinking game is bloody brilliant! For those eager for a taster of, as Francesco would say - Ben Yordan, here aers 2 sneaky snippets :)
Minimal spoilers too! Plenty of continuity errors though..

I'd personally give 'em good m
0dsarks. I would tell them that it would be nicer if the trash were taken care of by the maid.
Pffff, 100s all round.
Speaking of the maid: I must say that the making of the beds was v-e-r-y unnecessary, I think she should have spent the time on other things. Other than that I'm very satisfied about the house. (oh, a measuring cup in the kitchen would have been handy. And if I'm whining, some more power socket converters would have been handy (having provided one was already a n unexpected luxury.)
Ooh its like a crap version of blank cards :)
Value 90
Location 95
Cleanness 90
Service 90
Comfort 90
No standard kettle, but the place too good to really care. One bonus point for a limping janitor man.
I don't want to bicth-a-lotti, but minus 50 points for my mono-pod disappearing and never returning home. Can't believe I lost it, it's not hard to miss... And I just wish Perugia airport had better connection from the UK, it would've slashed travel times by about 90%! But yes, in standard English, I'd give the place and service 9/10.
EDIT. Oh, and Wifi. 10 out of 100. The wifi seriously sucked, they should do something about that. And 10/100 for sausage thefts, too :=
Phew! It was couple hours going through these and adjusting levels and resizing individually (to minimal benefit no doubt :/) but I have posted 134 of my Italy photos to Facebook. Those of you lucky enough to have me as a friend may have already viewed them, but for the rest of you...LOOK! (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2085573&id=207104780&l=77c8af7c3b)
Great, thanks for sharing! This reminds me of how great this Mittens was and how much I miss it :'(

Where is that movie damn it ?!?!!?!?!?
I want that movie now, Mark Lovegrove. Or I'll send a bomb into your house!
Or I'll have you watch Daybreakers!
Or I'll have you play KQuest games!
Or something worse!!
Seriously PLZ? :D
You'll make me play a pubmaster quest game? :=
All the Italy footage is nicely edited, I'm yet to film the rest of the stuff and haven't been able to recently cos my car's been out of action, but that's changed in the last few days, so it's on with the final shots and stuff.
If you check back past midnight GMT tonight, I'll have a special "cos Mr Spanners is over-eager" official teaser trailer online with a link here, but I can't upload just yet.
The final piece is still aiming for October 31st... :)
Thanks for the interest, but no bomb please! ;D

PS. The title of the film isn't final, but that's what's on the script during production. Oh and sound issues, as always.
Final trailer and end film soon I promise!
Downloaded it this morning but got the chance to see it just now: spectacular!
I repeat my post.
I love you m0ds.
"Can you hear me? Hello? I'm Ben F%&*%( Jordan!!!"
Priceless
Thanks bitchy :) AGS' true gentleman!
And thank you Sir Spanos, AGS' true blogger-man... Plenty more classic lines to be enjoyed soon :)
gotta.....finish.....filmmm.........! :=
I finally got around to posting some of my Mittens videos. A couple longer ones but most are around the 20 second mark. Enjoy! :D
Matt gets vertigo in Turin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F30HGls9pLw) (pre-Mittens)
Esseb vs. Merry-go-round (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObfDbSh9Zbs)
Grundislav and Jake argue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZkRpvHWIYw)
Snarky and Esseb talk about...something (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWWRXntDWX4)
"There's watermelon in the pool god damnit!" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VATl_SueZEk)
I feel like my scottish lessons to Grundislav paid off ::)
Scary elevator video gets bonus points for Matt's cameo in the last few seconds.
I will also vote our eloquent Cato for president.
Someone should sample Jake's voice.
Disco is spry.

Yes, indeed. :D
I loved the "backflip" or whatever it's called dive that Disco makes.
I am reviewing my last year and on the plus side, on top of almost all, there's Mittens! I love you guys (& guyettes) :'(
* gives everyone a kiss on the nose
ooh New years kiss ^_^
Mittalia and the surrounding travels were definitely highlights this year, I love and miss you all as well :S
Now that we are Januaryish it is almost time for a thread to begin for the next Mittens methinks. I am looking forward to seeing everyone again this summer :D
Mittens reminiscing would be a tad easier if we had a video put together though! (wtfcj :P)
I'll be the first to say it Ken, and others, I'm not a big fan of Ireland. In theory it sounds great, but after talking to various Irish old timers, they say it'll be very expensive to accomodate 20 people. But you also know me, I'm only really in it for the cheaper options, I'm happy to sit this next one out if it means we can have a cheapo the following year :)
I still reckon The Netherlands (which was tied with Italy for a while for the last Mittens) would be a decent option.
Either or could be good for me. would Netherlands entice you m0ds? :=

Perhaps a new thread is in order, but I did find these immediately. The second one is quite nice and seems a good price. A lot of these seem to be booked about half the weeks of the normal Mittens months so time may be critical. Should we reopen the location discussion?
