Trolls 1, comment sections 0? http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/21/tech/web/online-comment-sections/index.html ...I was always more of a forums person than a comment-section person anyway. ...one in the morning, not sleepy.

The past few years: Hubby: "All these ppl streaming videos and stuff, clogging the works. The internet is for information! etc. /rant" Me: "Yes dear I understand." Last month: Me: "Supernatural on Netflix, wanna watch?" Recently: Hubby: "Cable sucks. Anything else on Netflix?" Me: "I'll make you your own profile so you can browse/add to a list." Currently: Me: "Whatcha doing?" Hubby: "Watching some Netflix." (his to-watch list has grown a lot) Me: "Still hate all us 'net streaming folk?" Hubby: ... silence .... "it's convenient." Me: "Ha."

Haha, da plane, that's a great one, Keyrock.

Oh very well.

Because this place sometimes needs more light and fluffy.

You know you're getting old when you keep thinking the camera is out of focus and fiddle with settings, then suddenly remember you aren't wearing your reading glasses. Also: cat foot warmer. He walks up as soon as I sit, plops right onto my foot/feet and lies there until I move again. Hubs thinks it's hilarious.

I want to see the bloopers for this quote.

See, now, that drawing makes the guy look rebellious/grungy, with a large dollop of "I'm not sure if he's going to help or beat the tar out of me." The guy on the TV show is pretty/clean with artfully toussled hair, and if I passed him in a dark alley, he wouldn't even make me nervous. Not that there's anything wrong with being pretty/clean. It doesn't feel like it fits, tho.

Between VR and these things, and being able to do business via video-chats, people may soon only meet during scheduled fertilization appointments. Hm, reminds me of that one planet in Asimov's robot novels. ...and if one could clean the litter boxes for me, that'd be great too.

I think we're probably oversaturated on any/all "reality" type shows, awards or not.

Well, of course no awards shows "need" to exist. It's that simply from a viewer perspective, sometimes they're amusing to watch. eg, it's just more entertainment. Billy Crystal was still the best Oscar host ever, imo.

Nice to see Obsidian in there (narrative). Kevin Spacey is the one reason I might've bought that game. But I didn't. Ubisoft...blargh. The idea of a Gaming awards is kinda cool I guess. If the movies can have their self-marketing Oscars, why not games industry. I'd certainly be curious what kind of "show" they put on.

That's one of those shows that started off a bit slow, got a lot better/had to watch it, then started to get slow again. ...at the moment I'm watching Cats From Hell. I like making fun of the clueless cat owners.

"U shower first. Then hugs." Shower? Whadda ya mean? I don't need no shower. It's Sat.

I hope not too but I understand the feeling. Altho, for me it's the entire internet in general. I think for me, maybe I don't like being serious anymore. I just want to be light hearted and goofy. Not that I haven't always been goofy. Sidenote: figured out how to disable the laptop touchpad. Much better.

The cheaper $250+ Asus Transformers only have 1GB RAM, which seems icky. Plus a memory card would hike the price up even further. So I said screw it and bought this HP Pavilion latop instead. i3, dvd, numpad. Touchscreen too, not that I care. Display is adequate but nothing special, not unexpected. Internet is fine with our wifi, and performance with multiple FF tabs open and video streaming seems fine too. I hate Win8 even via desktop but oh well what can you do. I also seem to keep hitting the wrong keys or something. But I like 15" vs. 10" and so far it seems great for couch-use (which is where I'm sitting now). We'll see how it goes after a few days.

Wow, that's pretty cool. If it's released as a texture mod pack, would definitely make me fire up this game again, and I haven't played it in ages.

"Magic." Very few games have made me care about the main plot, outside of the means to get to the end. It's not that I won't appreciate/don't want good stories. I just don't tend to pay attention often - it's background noise. Maybe because by the time I reach the next plot point/quest/info, I've been distracted by/done so many other things in the game I've literally forgotten what the main plot was in the first place (it's not like reading a book cover to cover). I can get attached to individual characters. If a game has this for me, it's a huge plus, since emotional connection to gaming is so rare for me...and yet, if it's not there, I won't miss it much per se - if the game still appeals to me in other ways. ...so the "magic" for me is largely about what, in another thread, was called "hookability." Which I find a lot of modern crpg's don't have. All the current trends that I've seen/experienced do not give me more immersion, it detracts from it. I'm too often brought to awareness that I'm watching a game, for example tapping my fingers waiting for something onscreen to finish so I can get back to playing. Whatever the ultimate reasons for hookability being there or not being there (obviously very subjective), most modern games seem to lack the ability to put me into tunnel vision mode, thus they are far less magical. I need my tunnel vision. Perhaps because I have a hard time focusing for long periods without it.

I'm mildly curious what they're doing with the Flash series, but I think I'll wait until it's on Netflix and I can watch 1st season all in one go. My patience level for adTV can only handle 2-3 shows a year these days. Gave up on The 100. Definitely improving still, but just couldn't take it anymore.

I know that some people appreciate employees asking if "you need help", but for those of us who do not (if I need help I'll ask), I don't suppose a giant "No Thank You" sticker on my forehead would work to prevent them from asking me that same bloody question every 5 minutes? No? .... thought not. *grumpy old woman* ...at least I brought a chocolate mousse pie home. With whip creme. It's Friday, gotta live a little sometimes.

Just watched "Into the Storm." Haha. It's like a syfy movie with a bigger budget and slightly better scripting. The tornado effects weren't bad. Seeing the actor from the Hobbit films being not a dwarf was weird. And the drunk idiot guys were the best thing in the movie.

Don't know where to put this, really, so... Nerdgasm alert.
