http://www.northernattack.com Musings about The Office and other tales from the watercooler. Wed, 13 May 2009 20:10:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.2 en http://www.northernattack.com/archives/coming-attractions/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/coming-attractions/ Sat, 01 Mar 2008 07:09:25 +0000 James First, a couple shout-outs to Marc at The Office Quotes, and Tom and Chris at Unofficial Office Scripts and Reviews. Marc revamped his site recently, and Tom and Chris have been releasing new scripts at a regular clip. Be sure to check them out when you have the chance. It's become increasingly clear that I no longer have the time and resources to update Northern Attack. I will continue to maintain the forums (and episode threads), which continue to enjoy healthy traffic thanks to a wonderful and active community, but the rest of Northern Attack (recaps, news updates, etc.) will go on indefinite hiatus. It's been a great run, and I appreciate the support you all have given me over the past few years. And that brings us to the future: things may be winding down here, but I'm not ready to duck out quite yet. I've had something in the works for a while now: something big, something ambitious, and something I eventually realized was completely out of my league. So, I've spent the past several months refining the idea and breaking it down into more manageable pieces. Think of it as a community for fans of television, a place where people can gather to discuss their favorite shows and get to know each other without dealing with the inconveniences presented by online communities today. I want people to feel invested in their contributions. It may not sound that different from the discussion forums you're used to seeing today, but I'm hoping with the proper execution and polish I can create something people can get excited about. Here's where you folks come into play: I'm looking for input on how to go about this task. What have you liked about the forums at Northern Attack? What have you disliked? How about forums elsewhere? What features would you like to see in your forum software? Please let me know if there's anything at all you can think of, either here, or in the forums, or by e-mailing me. With my schedule clearing up over the next couple months, I may have an opportunity to finally put this plan into motion. Think of this less as the end of Northern Attack and more like the beginning of something better. Thanks, everyone.]]> http://www.northernattack.com/archives/coming-attractions/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/flashback-the-alliance/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/flashback-the-alliance/ Sun, 02 Dec 2007 05:11:02 +0000 James The Alliance. Many thanks, Linus, for putting this together in these dark(ish), Office-less times. Enjoy.]]> http://www.northernattack.com/archives/flashback-the-alliance/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/the-deposition/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/the-deposition/ Thu, 15 Nov 2007 11:50:57 +0000 James http://www.northernattack.com/archives/the-deposition/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/the-office-is-closed/ Thu, 08 Nov 2007 13:22:48 +0000 James http://www.northernattack.com/archives/the-office-is-closed/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/survivor-man/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/survivor-man/ Thu, 08 Nov 2007 13:19:07 +0000 James http://www.northernattack.com/archives/survivor-man/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/branch-wars/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/branch-wars/ Thu, 01 Nov 2007 09:52:34 +0000 James http://www.northernattack.com/archives/branch-wars/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/local-ad/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/local-ad/ Thu, 25 Oct 2007 10:18:03 +0000 James http://www.northernattack.com/archives/local-ad/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/money/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/money/ Thu, 18 Oct 2007 18:13:13 +0000 James http://www.northernattack.com/archives/money/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/launch-party/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/launch-party/ Thu, 11 Oct 2007 10:43:19 +0000 James http://www.northernattack.com/archives/launch-party/feed/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/dunder-mifflin-infinity/ http://www.northernattack.com/archives/dunder-mifflin-infinity/ Thu, 04 Oct 2007 09:53:20 +0000 James This week's recap introduces Karin's equally talented partner in crime, Linus. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Well, not really, but I don’t get to quote Who lyrics without bending the truth sometimes, so there it is. Ryan struts back to Scranton with a new job title, a new suit, a new sense of self-worth, and, ye gods, a new beard. His radical ideas strike fear in the aging hearts of some Scrantonites: Creed comes alive, Phyllis comes apart, and Michael comes to water, even if they won’t let him drink. Meanwhile, new lovers are outed and old ones are riven in two.]]> http://www.northernattack.com/archives/dunder-mifflin-infinity/feed/
