This is my thread

I finally got around to watching XX the RATM dvd. Fucking crazy. Such powerful music. Anyway, it reminded me of this

Would have loved to be there

Walking Dead was kinda lame this week. I hear next week is supposed to bring back a character from season 1 that didn't die yet.....ooooooo

 

[ARon]

This whole season has been pretty lame to me, same with most of last season. The show just isn't doing it for me, I got pretty hooked through the first season but I don't know what happened, the shit just started to not be so good. It's entertaining

 

[dilla]

Yeah, the cliff-hangers at the end of the episodes just aren't good enough anymore. The threat of Shane is gone, Rick not killing anyone from the crew because of his new-found insanity is lame, and the Governor is about to get killed by pussy.

I gotta say there were two moments so far in the show that had my jaw drop; the first was when Sophia walks out the shed a zombie after all their time spent searching for her, and two, the conversation Rick has on the phone when he's in the prison with Laurie and Shane, maybe? The call was ok, and the fact they were "dead" was fine too, but just what was coming through the phone, the feedback, the background noise or whatever, was just creepy. That there was someone else out there or that the dead characters had a medium to communicate with the living was also eerie. Even if it was Rick hallucinating, I would've flipped my shit if that was how far the hallucination went.

Yeah, and for me I've found a nice balance between Facebook and Twitter and RSS news feeds. For topics I need intense coverage on, I use RSS to get all the articles. For stuff like breaking sports news, I usually find Facebook to get me all the big stories, so long as I check at least once a day.

For Twitter, I usually get the the rumors, stuff that's more foresight and has the potential to happen. I don't really do tech stuff on Twitter, unless you count something like Slickdeals and their announcement of big deals.

I don't really use facebook. I have friended people from my past. These are working class people who are somewhat moronic. When I log on it makes me angry at their small-mindedness and bigotry. So, I rarely do.

I use twitter for information and I have recently stumbled across Google Currents which is very good.

They're taking a lot of liberties from the comic this season, especially with Andrea. That said, it's much better than season two. Hershel's farm was supposed to just last like 2-3 days, they extended it to what seemed like months in the show.

This week was slow, but they have to build up for the finale, so yeah...

 

[dilla]

Yeah, I keep forgetting we didn't just start a new season and we just picked off in the middle.

I never read the comics. I want to, but I feel it would ruin the show.

Why hasn't Mega's popularity picked back up again? All the sites I go on for links use shitty websites, the same as before, but a few use it for music and I get 2.5 MB/sec with them. Why not use the same for movies and TV show links?

Fucking idiots.

 

[dilla]

I dunno why I used Seesmic for so long. Tweetcaster is so much better.

Also, this starts up. Let's see what they got....

Shit. Won't let me link. Major Nelson. Xbox deals, supposedly 75% off me games. Doubt it'll be worth it, but there's a good amount of buzz around it, so...

There needs to be some sort of stimulus. Like a better deal for uploaders or something. There's no reason for uploaders to use Mega over the competition. They'd have to pay to upload reasonable amounts of data anyway to a new site that nobody uses yet.

People would start using it when they see that Mega allows them to get 2+ MB/sec speed. How did Megaupload have so many users when it was still going, but now, what is essentially Megaupload 2, doesn't?

 

[Pittsey]

SOFI... Do you ever watch 8 out of 10 cats? It's a UK show that is sort of about current affairs. Fronted by the comedian Jimmy Carr.

 

[dilla]

Yes, it's hilarious.

 

[ARon]

Yay to new shows

Megaupload paid you for every download of your file. You could receive money or a premium account if a lot of people downloaded your files. Rapidshare and many others would do the same thing before. I uploaded files like pictures and videos from school for my friends and it was enough to extend my Rapidshare account once in a while. Also, the storage space was basically unlimited. Good times.

 

[Pittsey]

I probably should have mentioned it earlier as they are on season 15. But as it's a current affairs show you only need to watch the newest episode, no point in going back to earlier seasons.

Well, I think the comedy is worth it. You can go back a few months, at least. The Olympics was a great time to be watching the show. Or...right before it.

Man, I've been trying to jump on a deal for Blops 2 since it came out. It's been going back and forth between $40 and $60, but now that I'm actually serious about buying it, it's been at $60 on Amazon for a while now. Or...anything above $40. It's an issue because I have all these Amazon gift cards saved up from Bing, but I want to spend as little money on the game as possible. Only because I bought MW3 and didn't like it that much and it left a bad taste about buying COD games anymore.

Everyone says it's great, but I was on the fence; they said the same about MW3.

eBay had it for $30, which hurt even more because I don't have $25 in gift cards for fucking eBay. Gonna just have to play the waiting game.

You guys should check out a site called camelcamelcamel for monitoring Amazon prices. Not sure if it's old news, but I just came across it this week.

 

[ARon]

Blops 2 is alright. All cod's are pretty much the same to me. I bought mine off craigslist for 40 and it was sealed. Got FIFA 13 the same way, sealed. I figured the kid works at target or something and swiped it

 

[masta247]

Frankly I can't understand COD's phenomena. I think Battlefield is so much better and I got bored after a few days. COD is incredibly straightforward and repetitive. I do play Halo occasionally because my friends do so it's a way of relaxing.
