Anyone else having issues with the site just now? I'm trying to go back to catch up on Metal Gear Scanlon, but when I select Subscriber (or any other option) from the drop down it does the loading animation then just shows blank space

Edit: Nevermind, managed to work around it. Selecting Subscriber from the top nav bar loaded the videos, still doesn't do it when I use the drop down thing below the video player though.

Alien >>> Terminator 2 > Terminator > Aliens

also the Terminator order can switch depending on my mood

Can anybody tell me about Dan's novel writing? Dan seems like the last person on earth that would write a book, but it says right in the link that he has written four of them, and they're all very well reviewed (though, I assume by GT/GB fans). It's utterly perplexing. The fact that the foreword in Air Force Gator 2 is written by Jose Canseco makes the whole thing even better.

I am also not convinced that is accurate. I imagine our (Brit) military would say "ell zee" as it is an americanism and the influence of hollywood providing so much of out popular culture means there are a lot of those in our language - the younger you are the more accepting of them you become.

e.g. World War Zee is called that over here - the movie at least - never heard anyone call it World War Zed. Also "Public Bayta" seems to have been adopted in most of the UK circles I frequent over "public Beeta".

I think Aliens, Alien and T2 are all legitimately great movie and I can see why someone would call anyone of them their personal favourites.

T1 is just kind of jank though. Its like the beta version of what was to come. Its the Assassins Creed 1 of movies. You can see the potential but it just doesn't fall into place.

T1 is the only raw horror-infused cyberpunk movie in the franchise and for that alone it is worth so much.

Edit: T3 goes so far off the deep end it becomes parody, so that can be enjoyable in its own way. That said I recently watched a fanedit of T3 that streamlined the narrative and it fares moderately better as an action movie compared to the theatrical cut.

Two of them are about Air Force Gator, a character he created. He's writing a third one right now. Curtain Call is the only serious book he's written, about a famous moment in wrestling. Former Baseball Player Sucks at Crowdfunding is a book he made (with the help of others) after he ran a successful crowdfunding campaign with the goal to beat Canseco's pathetic attempt at crowdfunding a podcast.

Here's the story of how Dan got Canseco to write the foreword of AFG2: http://espn.go.com/blog/playbook/fandom/post/_/id/21948/jose-canseco-writes-fan-foreword-for-free

If this campaign reaches its goal, I'm gonna write a book titled "Jose Canseco Sucks At Crowdfunding." It won't be a good book. It can't be a good book. I'll just write the minimum requirements needed to make it a thing that you can actually buy on the internet and it gets sent to your house. That said, I do promise that it'll have some pretty cool cover art of Jose looking stupid and sad, and I'll probably be gloating in the background and being better than him.

The book might be 50 pages long, or it could be 100 pages. It might (read: will probably) have big font. I'll probably go off topic and it'll be an unreadable mess. That said, it will be a thing that you can own, and I can forever mock Jose on Twitter because he sucks and I beat him.

Too bad they didn't make another Terminator movie after 2 so we could compare it to Alien 3, the only sequel that franchise got.

I watched the first ep when it went up on the Network & I didn't totally hate it. It's kinda what Dan & Jared were saying, it's kind of fascinating to get these little glimpses into the behind the scenes stuff, as warped as it may be.

It was reported once that filming takes ages because they have to do so many reshoots because of shitty acting by the divas which isn't really surprising going by bella storylines on Raw.
