Entertainment / Cable TV meets the internet
« on: July 23, 2014, 08:04:10 AM »
I feel like this does a good job of making it seem like you're still watching TV - but it's internet content so no commercials. For some strange reason, I really like the concept of channels and shows, even if it is, ultimately, internet content.  Basically just free curation, I suppose. I'm enjoying the Guns & Explosions Channel and the Nerd Culture Channel

Anarchy / World’s Tallest Building – in Dubai
« on: October 16, 2007, 04:33:46 PM »
I didn’t know they were building this, this is unbelievable.  It’s the height of two Empire State buildings, here’s the tour footage: http://www.gloob.tv/life/world_s_tallest_building?article=1976

I don't like Mitt Romney for a lot of reasons, and was disgusted by this clip: http://gloob.tv/news/romney_confronted_medical_pot?article=1976 of him explaining to a wheelchair-bound lifelong muscular dystrophy sufferer that he would indeed arrest him for his "crime" (I live in California, where taking medicine that a doctor recommends isn't a crime).

Entertainment / car insurance commercials
« on: October 13, 2006, 02:10:14 PM »
What’s your favourite car insurance gimmick?  The talking gecko?  The gruff cowboy?  What makes you feel the most automotive safety?

 I like the new one from Mercury (www.mercurytheory.com).  If you haven’t seen it they are making the claim that the owners of Mercury are from Mercury and they’ve got all the corroborative evidence including a 10X magnification of burnt toast (check out the slides) that proves everything.  Makes me chuckle.

Entertainment / HD football
« on: September 20, 2006, 03:42:36 PM »
Hey does anyone have the superfan package from Directv?  Now that I have my 67” DLP TV set up with HDTV I’m thinking watching games in HD should be happening.  Saw this site: www.heybuttercup.com wanted to know what “up to 9 games in HD every Sunday” means realistically.

Anarchy / A shocking question
« on: May 12, 2006, 03:18:57 PM »
This is one of those sites with shocking videos and stuff: http://www.shocku.com/indexafp.php

...the kinda site that makes you wonder whether you'd rather be covered in bees: http://www.shocku.com/indexafp.php?id_actu=149

or

mauled by lions: http://www.shocku.com/videos/index....v&beg=12&test=3

well, which is it?!

Just finished playing the demo for this game, so sweet, you’re a cop looking for a serial killer in a grisly realistic env. - lots of bludgeoning transients with objects not primarily designated as weapons (a.k.a "die at the hand of my rustily nailed 2x4, hobo junkies!").  It’s like a cross between Resident Evil and Manhunt. I'm so glad this is out on PC since I don't have a 360.  Anyone played the full game?  How is it?  Demo is here:  http://www.condemnedgame.com/

Anarchy / Abortretryfail's comedy routine of the day
« on: May 12, 2006, 03:15:41 PM »
So I’m a huge comedy fan and I thought I’d start this thread to share some of my favourite routines with y’all.  I doubt I’ll get to it every day, but I’ll try to get to it at least a few times a week.  Here’s the first installment:

Listen to Marketing & Advertising by Bill Hicks : http://www.napster.com/player/tracks/12409846

(to listen to it you have to do a quick register w/ Napster, just need an e-mail address)

I'm leaning heavily towards the 3rd option, it’s the cheapest, and I’ve heard good things about DLP:  http://www.dlp.com/

Anarchy / Anyone like horses?
« on: January 13, 2006, 04:40:36 PM »
In my spare time I ride at a stable nearby.  I saw this teaser on Animal Planet for a show about stars and their horses, anyone seen it?  The show is called Trail Mix... here's a link:  http://animal.discovery.com/convergence/horsesense/trail_mix/trail_mix.html?clik=fanmain_leftnav

Anarchy / crazy amounts of video
« on: January 13, 2006, 04:37:32 PM »
I was looking for the a recipe for a mango margarita and came across this site:  www.thebar.com  I am impressed with how much video went into it, pretty nifty little piece.

Anarchy / Singer/songwriter suggestions?
« on: June 21, 2005, 01:30:00 PM »
Ok, I've been listening to nothing but electronic music for about six years now and it's time to branch out.  I'm looking for recommendations for male/singer songwriters, I like the melancholy sound the best.  Two I've discovered so far are Jeff Bucklet and Rufus Wainwright.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm looking for presents for a buddy of mine. He's a pretty hardcore RTS gamer, so he has most stuff that's popular. I'm not really familiar with the genre and I don't know all of what he has. I need either something obscure or something new or coming soon. Anyone know any good RTS war games? Any suggestions are appreciated!
