Enjoying Under the Dome and good ending to the latest episode. Can't wait to see some Lord of the (butter)flies stuff that will probably happen in future episodes.

Finished watching Cult. Interesting show but was cancelled. Better than The Following.

If there's something I learnt from this thread, it's that not everything is black and white.

Dark Shadows (1991) and never knew how cheesy it was back then. Can only remember a few episodes when it aired and always remembered it being a good show. Only half way through the 12 episodes and will continue to the end.

Sharknado. Didn't realise it was from The Asylum until it started. Huge fan of their movies. I've seen quite a few of their movies. Mega Shark versus Giant Octopus, Mega Shark versus Crocosaurus, Nazi's at the centre of the Earth, etc Another good B Grade movie studio is Full Moon Studios who did the movie The Creeps (1997) which is one of my favourites. If you're really into B Grade movies, then these two studios have a great assortment of movies.

No idea if CNN and Sky are credible news sources. I'd have to question why they would bother interviewing him when the media here wouldn't give him the time of day. He seems to be the stuff of trash tabloid journalism which is why he's only been interviewed on a National Enquirer type TV show here in Australia. It's like CNN and Sky haven't done any research on our tabloid journalism and they've been taken hook, line and sinker. Next, I'll expect CNN and Sky to report Bigfoot and aliens.

Never heard of him and probably 99.99% of Australia would be with me. Not sure where you're getting the 'attention of western media' from. From your link, he appeared on a trash tabloid tv show (A Current Affair) in Australia two years ago. I stopped right there. Everybody in Australia knows that 'A Current Affair' and it's rival 'Today Tonight' are like the National Enquirer, but instead turned into a 30 minute TV show.

Man of Steel. Just got back from the cinemas and really enjoyed it. 8/10. Liked the DC references from the comics. The only fault is casting Laurence Fishburne as Perry White. ugh, why do they always have to do this. Otherwise it would have been a 9/10 but -1 for miscasting Perry White.

Watched Season 1 of Elementary over the weekend. Expectations were low going in but it was a good modern take on Sherlock Holmes and I enjoyed it.

You need to get permission from the person you're prank calling before you broadcast it. If you don't get permission, it's against the law, So if two employees are told by their boss to break the law and go ahead with it, then they shouldn't lose their jobs according to you?

The old 'boss made me do it' excuse. No backbone to stand up and say this is wrong. She wasn't left out to dry by the company. Both DJs were offered jobs back within the company and one has taken his job back and even named the network's "top jock" last month in June according to newspaper reports. She could have taken any job back within the company and moved on like her co-host has done. She didn't have to be in the spot light and could have worked behind the scenes and eventually worked her way back to a DJ if she choose to do so once everything blew over. She could have done a lot of things for her career. This rumour that she was made a scape goat is just all that, a rumour. Both were in the media at the time and heavily criticised as well as the radio station and its management. One has moved on, back at work on Sydney's airwaves as a DJ, as if nothing has happened. There's been no indication that there's an unsafe work environment. Questionable standards of decency which she was happy to be a part of, yes. Unsafe work environment, no.

This just gets better. http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/expresenter-could-receive-huge-payout-20130710-2pqnd.html So part of her damages claim is 'loss of future income' even though she's refused to take up several positions within the company.

One DJ has their job back and didn't have a problem with the safe work environment at the time. He's not suing. But the other DJ didn't get her job back and is now suing for an unsafe work environment. When they made the prank call, there weren't any complaints about an unsafe work environment from them while they were laughing. More like a case of sour grapes. The way our laws are here in Australia, she'll probably get a nice pay out. I don't listen to that radio station anyway. It's a radio station for bogans.

I would say they mixed and took elements out of 28 Days Later and Zack Snyders Dawn of the Dead.

There's no hive mind. The explanation of how the zombies started was implied but never really stated.

Finished watching Zero Hour. I think it was cancelled after the second episode but thankfully they aired all 13 episodes. Seems they tried to pull the best parts out of The Da Vinci Code, National Treasure and Raiders of the Lost Ark, mashed it all together and out came a TV series that didn't work.

Just saw World War Z with my gf and her friend. We all loved it. Awesome movie.

Forgot to add those two. Actually, probably forgot to add about another 10. Times have really changed. Back in the day you had to wait week to week to watch a TV series and channels would move the shows to different days which made it hard to follow. Nowadays you can get a whole season and watch it in a weekend.

I've noticed on quite a few forums with some people deriding TV shows in general, probably due to reality TV, but there is an abundance of good shows to watch. I have a tendency to focus on a about 5 or 6 tv shows every week as they air, and then catch up on other shows with a series marathon during a week or weekend when they're nearing or finished for the season. I did that recently with Spartacus and did a Season 3 marathon and watched it over two nights. My next marathon I started this week is Once Upon A Time as it's nearing it's season finale.

I'm not surprised my scores are similar across the board. I've always mixed sport and studies together. Was never fully into one thing and always juggled sport, computers, reading, TV, hobbies, etc. Always liked to do everything but never seem to have the time. I used to play a lot of sport but still play a fair bit now. Play Squash, Tennis, Indoor Hockey, Touch Footy and Surfing. gf likes to play ping pong. Also did subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Economics, 3U Maths and computer programming when I was at school. A bit of everything. Do a bit of bushwalking and did some last weekend and walked about 25kms (15.5 miles) through rough terrain. My gf was pretty exhausted and sore by the end of it and couldn't keep up with me and I had to stop and wait all the time (it was her idea!). Never had any broken bones or a bleeding nose. About 6 years ago, finished a 3 year course in 18 months. With my first attempt at sitting for the national exam held once a year, was only one of 29 people in a group of 144 in Australia to pass. Was able to recall from memory large parts of legislation word for word which helped. Also, a friend on FB reminded me (and my friends) how he remembered seeing me clock the Atari 2600 game Dodge'Em with only using my feet with the joystick. http://i34.tinypic.com/imknrq.jpg I can identify with a few of the comments with alignment, class and race.

You Are A: Lawful Neutral Halfling Wizard (6th Level) Ability Scores: Strength- 15 Dexterity- 18 Constitution- 16 Intelligence- 16 Wisdom- 17 Charisma- 15 Pretty good stats.

I watch a lot of TV. American Horror Story, Arrow, Banshee, Bates Motel, Castle, Comic Book Men, Continuum, Criminal Minds, CSI, Cult, Defiance, Derek, Dr. Who, Elementary, Falling Skies, Game of Thrones, Grimm, Hannibal, Haven, Hawaii Five-0, Homeland, Leverage, Lost Girl, Nikita, Once Upon A Time, Person of Interest, Revenge, Revolution, Sherlock, Sons of Anarchy, Spartacus, Strike Back, Teen Wolf, The Amercians, The Bogias, The Following, The Mentalist, The Vampire Diaries, The Walking Dead, Vikings, Warehouse 13, XIII

It's not obvious. Not when you specifically mention an alternative. Once you mention an alternative, if it starts to fall closely with what is often interpreted as dismissive commentary, you end up obfuscating your own point. As such, from my perspective, her interpretation seems more "obvious" to me than yours did (which required further explanation and the inclusion that you were speaking from your own experience, information that didn't even exist in your original post. I know how popular they are. It is obvious. And there is no obfuscation. Why aren't 50% of gamers being female not posting on the Obsidian forums? err, they're playing other games? Obvious. I gave an example of browser based and FB games and if they're playing those games, then that's where they will be. Obvious. If they're playing other games like World of Tanks which I've seen a lot of female gamers do, then they'll be at those forums which they are. Obvious. You even said, "point out the idea that "if they are not playing Obsidian games, they are not going to be here" (but with different words) which is valid." A totally valid point that you brought up and agreed with. All you're doing is reading too much into my original comment, changing the context which was obvious and valid and now saying it was obfuscated which it isn't. How was my intent to hide, make my post confusing or make it willfully ambiguous? It isn't. Also, to have disclaimers on every post seems childish at best and isn't needed.

When you've been misquoted, then you like to set the record straight. And the main point of my original post was they're not playing Obsidian games which is probably the reason why a lot of the ~50% of gamers being female aren't posting on the Obsidian forums. They're playing other games. I would have thought this was obvious. My gf plays games on her ipad like Angry Birds and other games. She would never post on this forum because she doesn't play rpg games. It's easy to say around 50% of gamers are female, but what type of games are they playing? I brought up they're probably playing other games and gave an example and got shot down in flames. Also, a lot of guys play FB and browser based games. My brother plays FB games all the time and doesn't play any rpg games. You'd be surprised how popular browser based and FB games are. And as Guard Dog said, there used to be a lot of female gamers who did post, especially on the old BIS forums.

No, I didn't say "female gamers must be playing browser games only". Perhaps misquoting is one of the reasons why you're so irritated? I was reflecting my own real life experience. I have quite a few female friends who play browser based games including FB games and don't play RPG games on the PC. Even online games like World of Tanks that I used to play has a lot of female gamers. So while it might be irritating for you, in some circles of life it's the norm. It's not alienating anyone.
