This is History's first go at an original TV series. I really didn't expect to like it as much as I do. I don't know if they were even prepared for how successful it was going to be. No doubt last season was better than this season, but I still look forward to what they have planned. While they haven't stayed 100% historically accurate on minor details, the question remains will they stay true to history as far as the fate of some of the characters. If they do, it could piss a lot of people off. lol
 

Shift + Delete. Okiedokie! 

Batman Under the Red Hood was awesome... I hope this is just as good.

Cool beans and good luck. 

I love One Piece, Its probably the best anime I've ever seen. I agree about the pace being slow in many parts now. Thriller Bark seemed to last forever, but thats probably because Oda had that arc last over 1 year of manga chapters. If Bleach ended at the Soul Society arc, I'd say it ranks up there pretty high for me, but that anime ended up going on and on and eventually canceled because of a poor manga writing. For completed series, my top three are Gurren Lagann, Gungrave and Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. For movies, my favorites are Princess Mononoke, Vampire Hunter D, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust and Battle Angel.
 
And of course there is Berserk. I loved the original series in english. Probably because its how I was introduced to it. I'd list it as a complete series favorite, but it only covers one part of the actual manga and it leaves too much unanswered. I wish they would remake the entire series from the beginning and follow the manga like how FMA Brotherhood did.

Yea Yaya has been talking about it non-stop on Twitter (as have Holly, Jessica, and Jesse). Can't wait to watch it when it airs. By the looks of the trailer we can expect one more guy at least but we're losing two cosplayers from last season (I know Monica isn't in this season due to school and I don't think they brought back Riki (Riddle) for this season). Yes, I follow all of them on Twitter (don't judge me).
 
Heh, I stopped watching Top Shot because of the house drama. I missed the last season due to the freaking drama driving me away from it in the season before. Now I really wish I would of watched it. Sadly this is the problem with reality tv, they're trying to turn it into reality soaps and not give the viewers what they want. I stopped watching Survivor after the first season due to this (loved the first season but every season since has been a sad attempt to draw more people in with more drama).

I've stopped watching a lot of my favorite gun building reality shows because they shift the focus from the builds to stupid workshop drama and fake issues that supposedly would make them miss deadline. Their newsfeeds and comment sections are filled with anger and such. When you're catering to certain crowds, they watch the show for the subject material, not some BS drama. That audience watches shit like survivor. I'm surprised they filled it will drama on the first season... normally they reel everyone in and then the following seasons they insert that garbage.
 
In the final season of History's Top Shot they removed all the house drama and made it solely about competitive shooting. The fanbase loved it, the ratings grew by a double digit percentage, and then History cancelled it after that... it seems TV execs don't have a clue that people like informative, intelligent material about their hobbies. Not storylines about personal drama. Hell there is even a website you can go to to look up people that have been on some of these shows telling you how fake it is. American Guns was cancelled because the tv execs felt like they didn't have any more stories to tell... umm wtf? No one watched it for the stories, they watched it for the gunsmithing.

The same reason I'm reading Naruto, to see it to it's end. Jokes aside, I can watch a show and not like it at the same time. It's like going back to get the same bad haircut knowing you're going to get a bad haircut every time. It's not a bad show, it's just got pacing issues ... something I felt the same with The Walking Dead too which I spoke of. Vikings is a good show, I wish they kept a keen focus on the meat of it. It's just disappointing. 

My point is that if they lose, they'll have to do a time skip. They lost too many men last time and if they lose with Lagertha's men, they won't have any more unless they bring in another Earl, or wait for their young to age. But before that they will have to address the tension between Ragnar and Horik. Plus if Floki leaves that would put Ragnar in a position where losing ships is costly. Horik is trying to undercut Ragnar as he is starting to realize he might be too ambitious. He holds the advantage of speaking the Saxon language.

Even if the original sentinels look kind of goofy I can't help but to find that big white circle on these ones as an eye sore.
 
I think Marvel is in the process of removing Mutant Origins for certain characters that appear in Avengers more than X-Men. Quite frankly the only reason to why Fox tried to associate all mutants or mutant related characters to X-Men was to prevent other studios from making movies.
 
Like how there was a plan to try to make Deadpool a spin-off of Blade.
 
Speaking of Deadpool (IF they ever make the movies) I'd still want to see the first as Rated R.
 
Marvel could still however get Deadpool back if or when its pointed out that Weapon-X is part of the Weapon-Plus program that goes all the way back to trying to recreate the Captain America program.
 
But would I really want to see a guy who kind of looks like Spider-Man, with guns, history as a mercenary, & hamburger looking face in a PG-13 movie?.... I'm pretty certain I already saw that movie.... *cough*spawn*cough*.... Honestly Deadpool shouldn't do that. Especially since he came out over a year before that other guy who basically sounds a lot like what he already is.... Well minus cape.

Considering how surprisingly good the first season was I'm hoping this season is just as good and it's about damn time. I've been going nuts waiting for this to start back up. Really want to know what happened with Irisa after everything went down the way it did.
 
It's not surprising the game and show aren't really connected since the game takes place in whats left of San Fransisco (it does doesn't it? I mean the Golden Gate Bridge is on the cover of the damn game). It's be hard to connect the two since they're on other sides of the continent from each other. I wouldn't know much outside of what my friend was telling me since he plays it and watches the show (he told me there was a few connections but they were the ones you already mentioned in the last topic). Would be rather interesting if this season does connect the two together, are there any big events being planned in-game currently with the release of the new season so near?

I wonder if they'll lift the limit on how much memory per game of clips you can have.

I really liked the first season and I hope season 2 picks up the pace and incorporates some aspects of the game like the EGO system, Nim, the 99ers, Dark Matter, infector weapons, etc. Considering its a series that is connected to a game.. there are very few actual connections between the two properties. It almost feels likes its the same world but to different realities.

At least you now how to do a screen shot now. XD XD
 
Droid Sky View is a pretty awesome app, you can hold it up to stars in the sky and it will show you where the planets, constellations, and even the international space station is. Jupiter was super bright last night, I thought it was a star, and was surprised when the app labeled it as Jupiter.
 

Few videos are up on YT ... like this one 
 

The Raid was straight up good and Dredd's plot architecture definitely reminds everyone of The Raid, if they'd seen it.
 
The Raid 2 is damn good, watched it 2 weeks ago when it came out in theaters. It ain't for the skirmish. The Raid 2 is longer, has more of a plot in comparison and the fight scenes are just as impressive as the first movie, however the first one is grittier and I'd say still a bit better if you consider the choice of weapons used.

It isn't playing in my town (yet) so I guess I'll have to wait until the next Judge Dredd.

I'd much rather them do it old school style than what they did with the last series.
 
 
And have this theme.

 
I'll believe it when I see it though. I remember the big story a few years back about Buck Rogers and the 25th Century being done by Frank Miller, and that never came to pass.

Definitely yeah ... it's going to be hard to give the kind of time you have the luxury of having to develop scenarios/ characters that you'd get from a TV series as opposed to a movie. Look at the current Star Trek reboot comparing it to the original series. The other side of this is that just like the TV series was a re-imagining of the old original series, this movie could very well be that or who knows, maybe it takes off after Blood & Chrome? Blood & Chrome by itself is a pretty good series if you ask me. So definitely it'll be tricky but who knows? I'm a bit optimistic because I'm a fan and I owe it to the series by being optimistic and going open minded. The people involved so far are not nobody's, so that's another plus.

I got my (first) Windows 7 PC today. I'm glad I didn't need a new monitor.
 
Aside from better Wallpaper options this feels dumbed down. How could they ruin Control, Alt, Delete? Or remove where the mouse cursor option were? (Edit: Found them! I'm glad I can use inverted mouse cursors again!)
 
Also I need to remember to get a new spell check as I don't trust myself with proper spelling.... Or not... I think its already correcting my spelling for me.... At least it can't embarrass me about my grammar.... yet.
 
I'm uncertain if I'll ever want Windows 9 as I'm beginning to miss Windows XP already despite that it was on a crappier PC. I can only wonder if Windows 9 will be a dumbed down version of Windows 7.

I'll have to go back and watch the eps again but I think the guy that killed Sigvard went to war with Lagertha. If so he's seen her prove herself worthy of Valhalla while her shitty husband just sits around pissing and moaning. It is in his best interest spiritually to follow a warrior if he wants reward in the afterlife. Sending in three dudes to beat the crap out of your sleeping wife is some pretty bad form, the tension of the feast goers at the sight of Lagertha all fucked up is palpable. He got what he fuckin deserved as far as I'm concerned. 
Invading a former allies turf and then expecting him to blow it off is more bad form. I was kind of hoping Rollo was going to kill Horik, pretty obvious Siggy hates him. Maybe she'll get fed up and start stabbing eyes herself   Hopefully Jarl Borg will get his come upins as long as asshole Horik doesn't get in the fuckin way. Ragnar wont need him if there are ships and shipwrights in Lagertha's territories (we know she has the man power).
 
I called the atheist thing last week ROTFLMFAO!!!!

Siggy really lowered herself. I'm on an emotional roller coaster about her. She went from spoiled brat, to humble servant, to devious conspirator, to a whore bag with no self dignity.
 
Horik continues to be a clown... this guy is so clueless. Why keep flip flopping? I was hoping Ragnar would kill them both in his main hall.
 
Best quote of the night:
 
Siggy: Can you keep a secret?

Floki: HEH!!!.... no...
 
LMAO!!

Its been 2 years since the AVGN movie started production. Here is an update.
