Well that's uncalled for.
 
Great series. I hope they can keep the level up for the next season.

Doesn't even matter though, it'd still be one of the best shows on. S2 Hannibal was arguably not as good as the first, but still amazing, just like S2 Utopia and Orphan Black.

Yeah, I feel like there is no way Season 2 can live up to Season 1 (if you want it to be exactly like how it was). I think it can be great in its own way. So I hope it ends up standing on its own separate from Season 1. Even if it's different. If that makes sense.

I always liked how the Wire would tackle something new each Season. I know that still had the same characters and some continuity. But I kind of hope True Detective has each season being its own thing, and being good in its own way. Maybe I'm too optimistic lol
 
Thanks for the kind words.

It's nice to hear that coming from strangers.

My family has told me that I look good but I always assumed that they were just saying that because they're family. :p
 
some posters are so bad at posting they don't get banned, but get juniored instead.

We just need Squiddy to post on this page and we'll have a quadfecta.


Also, what's that tone you're using?

It does sound a bit Bluesbreaker-y, though it isn't a Les Paul and it isn't a Marshall.

The amp model is ostensibly a brownface Fender through a 1x10. No virtual pedals or anything. Just the amp dimed. Guitar was my walnut Tele with the bridge pickup or bridge and neck P90. I would have used a Les Paul, but one is apart and the other still in open-E.

Not sure about Vince Vaughn and multiple directors for next season, but he's due for a surprise performance.

EDIT: Lol although I realized now that you have light in certain areas (around your neck and on that blue thingy) that got taken out when removing the background. Oh well. Lol
Haha no worries I tried to do the same earlier and gave up, the lighting is awful for it.

They are all awesome.

And thanks, I've always loved the Catrina makeup, just never had the skill. I wore it to work on Halloween and people were blown away it was awesome.

I just did it for fun. You don't need to use them. I honestly just think your makeup is so cool. :D So thanks for the compliment.

Thanks for the kind words.

100%, you look fine. Not just saying that to make you feel good. I wouldn't have commented at all if that wasn't true. Your perception of what you look like is way off IMO. Not even close to ugly. You are too harsh on yourself. You look good.

I'm ashamed to admit my top tier instruments are a Hammer Explorer and a Line 3 amp ;_;

Edit: You must have some decent recording equipment. How did you capture that sound so smoothly? My recording was via my iPhone lol. You made do with it though, I have to give you that.

True, something must go horribly wrong for it to turn shit. You remind me though, i still need to check out Utopia.

My worry, is the change in directors for each episode. But really, if the writing stays quality, the directors/actors would need TO REALLY fuck it up.

Since it's the same creator/writer doing every single script, it has a good chance of being at least decent. So really it's all on the writer. If he hammers out another fantastic story w/ great dialogue, then really it would take a lot to fuck that up. I think at best, the season might not live up to the standards of 1, so some will dismiss it. But I think it has a good chance of being good as its own thing (I HOPE).

EDIT: I actually get HBO shows early, so I'll get to watch it a month before you guys. :P
 
How'd you swing that sweetheart deal?

I used to work in PR/film media. And I have some connects. I still get shit sent to me from HBO/Showtime/AMC. I get promo DVDs sent to my doorstep. Once you get on that mailing list (even if you get out of the business), they still send them.

It's pretty funny actually. I haven't done that work in 3 years. And I still got them. Got half of True Bloods final season early (but I hate that show). Same with the Leftovers. Game of Thrones. And a couple of others.

They usually send a Promo a DVD with 3 episodes on one disc 3 weeks before the first episode airs. And it has a special code on the screen (that is assigned to your name). Then they send you another disc 2 and a half weeks later with another 3 episodes on the DVD.

EDIT: These are sent out to critics for reviews. To clarify. I get review/promo copies.

Some actors are capable of butchering otherwise perfect script. I guess we'll just have to see :D

How come you get to check it out early?
edit: nm, answered. pretty neat :D
 
I thought that Nielsen ratings were something that was collected as the shows aired.

Yeah, they don't get it early. I'm getting review copies that outlets/critics get. They send them to critics ahead of time, so they have time to write the review (so they can watch it multiple times). Each promo copy is watermarked though. Hence why no one leaks shit. Unless you want get your ass sued by HBO.

I take it the watermark is huge so that no-one is tempted to crop it out and leak online, lest they get raked over the coals by contract lawyers?
 
Ok.

I don't know why I'm doing this but I'm putting a pic up.

This is literally the first time I've ever put my picture online and I've been on the internet for over a decade.

I'll probably end up removing it before too long because I'm weird.

Please try to be convincing when you lie and tell me that I don't look like a cave troll.

I'm putting my pic behind a link. :p

Don't Click.

Damn b, you're hideous.

There is a watermark that is in the upper right hand corner, and it's a set of numbers that changes throughout. It's not massive, but big enough maybe. I'm not sure if it's possible to crop it out. I think people probably don't do it it because I. they could get sued. II. they would lose their job. III. They would stop getting shit early.

So it's not worth it. Plus, the quality of the promo dvds are awful. They aren't even HD, and look much worse than the broadcast version. So if you are someone obsessed with quality, it would just piss you off. When you take all that into consideration, there is no reason to leak it. Not worth it.
 
The only kind of hurt that I do.

Morning, people!

You want to talk hurt? I'm doing a MGS story run (chronologically according to story) and I'm on Peace Walker ;_;

Not that it's a bad game, but it's a grind. Plus, I beat it 2-3 times already.
I'm already dreading finding Zadornov

Dat .gif. The Dawn has come.
 
Woah, this thread. What was it abut again?

Here's a more sleep deprived me from today and goes more with all of your head shots:

I like peacewalker but don't love it. I played it and only enjoyed it when I "got" what the game is all about(grinding). What you need to do is replay a level where there is S/A rank soldiers. Boss fights ruin the game for me, just a fucking chore really. They only are fun when you upgrade your motherbase to the fullest and only then do you enjoy the sight of a boss dying in like 5 - 10 minutes or so.

Wow, never knew that trick! That's a short mission to boot. Thanks dude! Now, I just need to get the Fulton mine...

You're welcome! Yes, sadly I knew it way too late. I could have saved so many hours, literally each boss took me 30+ minutes to beat at the very least. Thanks to grinding out for S/A rank Soldiers/POW's, it made the game way more enjoyable to me but in the end it's an alright game. The only MGS game where I "liked" it instead of loving it. It's clearly made with the handheld in mind both in the way the game is and how grinding/upgrading extends the length of the game.

I'm playing it for the first time HD... It's been hard to motivate myself.

That's how I played it actually, in the HD collection on the Xbox360. Yes, I feel you. It is kind of worth it for some of the tidbits in the story but overall it's alright. Also, there is a secret real ending to the game that you'll have to unlock by
completing your Metal Gear Zeke which means you'll have to grind out specific boss battles for the parts that you need. Once you do that, you go to Extra Ops 1 on the second floor, you should find someone and a cutscene will trigger, after that a new level will open up.
There is also the Monster Hunter missions as something of a bonus.

You're a Nielsen viewer? Can you get a real cougar on Cougar Town, or change Anderson Cooper 360 to 720, or even convert The Biggest Loser to the metric system?
