  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    So when I came to log on, I thought there was a glitch because that's usually why this color scheme is here. Apparently not.

    Same, at first.

    i kinda like it, though.  It feels restful.

    Downside being the alerts don't show up as clearly in white as they did in red.

    I still think it looks like the Arctic. Or Tic-Tacs. Maybe Arctic flavoured Tic-Tacs.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Yes, i know what you mean.

    In other news i am still really terrible at Mario, even when playing Imi's game which gives you free items all the time.
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Play the Lost Levels. Then you don't have to worry about lives or stuff at all. :P
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i've played that, a long time ago, when my brother's SNES still worked.

    Don't know if i ever got to the end though.  i'm really terrible.

    I feel you there, man. I feel you there.

    Speaking of which, I never did get around to retrieving the new versions of Imi's game after Black Candles 1.0.

    I beat it a week or so back without items for an SA thing. Still not as painful as SMB2 without items, though.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i can imagine.

    And, i think i'm still playing an older version of Imi's game, as well.

    I don't think you are. I'm fairly sure the Corporal was neither back when he was still here.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Good point, he made that pretty clear.

    Remaining heaper, i maybe should have said, only that sounds kind of depressing.

    Actually, I don't think Imi has a membership on either site, but I could be wrong. In that case, he'll probably correct me next time he comes on.

    Anyhow, I have found a new weird YouTube fascination: British game shows.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    What ones?

    Three to be specific: Wipeout, Pointless, and the Krypton Factor.

    Nope. Never found much appeal in either site.

    ^^ Huh.  Don't know that last one.

    (i am not big on TV, to be fair)

    Wipeout i remember being pretty amusing.

    ^ Oh hi.  Good to know i'm not alone.

    Imi has a Tumblr, but never posts.

    Tachyon: Game shows are only the type of TV I'm really into, and even then that isn't much compared to my other interests.

    Anonus: I see. My mistake.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Doctor Who is the only TV show i'm really invested in.

    Though that's not on at the moment and i've felt less enthusiastic about it of late, somehow.
  • Wipeout is essentially Ninja Warrior: Embarassment Edition here in the US. It's funny but going on it is equivalent to signing yourself off to eternal humiliation.

    But at least the check's probably not bad.

    I never had an SA account, but I used to lurk at the forums and hung out with a couple of goons

    I pretty much cut all my ties to the site cause I eventually got sick of the "ivory tower" attitude there
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    SA seems... unpleasant to me.  i wouldn't have said ivory tower, but i'm not sure i could put my finger on what exactly it is i don't like about it.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    "Ivory tower"?

    Doctor Who comes back on the 30th...I'll be in Michigan when that happens and probably won't be able to watch it then
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    In time for Easter, yes.  Is there any way to watch it online in the US?
  • Not officially besides Netflix and that usually doesn't get the current season's episodes.

    BBC America's site may have it if you're lucky but it looks like the best bet online would be unofficial streams.
  • Also my sister is watching Baby Looney Tunes on YouTube

    I never noticed how much it resembled Caillou until now, but it's basically that show with Bugs and co.
  • Well, maybe "ivory tower" isn't the best description. Maybe better would be "a continuing cycle of internet elitism then a spite for everything, sometimes including themselves"

    I just got an email from Verizon: 

    On or after April 22, 2013, the content provider will replace G4 programming on FiOS TV channel 191 with Esquire TV programming.

      • The
        content provider will discontinue G4 programming. This content will not
        be available on FiOS TV or through any other TV programming provider
      •  
      • Esquire
        TV programming will feature gaming and technology and will also span a
        wide variety of additional content, including entertainment, food,
        fashion, women, humor, and travel

    I know G4 sucks now, but I'm not sure its replacement is any better. -_-
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    ^^ That might be it.

    A lot of people there seemed bafflingly meanspirited to me.

    You didn't know about that?


    The people at NBCU have like no good ideas, how the fuck is it still around

    Regarding my last post: Oh God, it *is* that bad. And Bonnie Hammer is still at NBCU? Comcast fired that asshole Zucker, why didn't they fire this bitch too? :P

    This article is funny...

    You know, it kinda surprises me that, as far as I can tell, Let's Plays haven't been co-opted as a guerilla marketing tactic.

    Also, I wish I could actually launch Galaxis (though I'm not really the sci-fi sort of nerd anyway) as Syfy and G4 done right and watch NBCU wonder why Galaxis is beating Syfy

    Galaxis's online brand would be just as important, if not more so, than the TV one

  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Bonnie Hammer, chairwoman of NBC’s cable group, described the new network as “an upscale Bravo for men,” which sounds great until you realize that Bravo is a trashier-than-it-used-to-be network with a female slant. So the comment is roughly like calling the new entity “a nonmusic CMT for Northerners.” Not very enlightening.
    Heh.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I read that article, and the thing I can't help but think of is...CN Real. :P Cheap ripoff shows meant to be shallow cash-ins, at least on paper....thing is, there's not going to be much outcry about this because most people left G4 for dead a while ago.

    Yes, yes they are. Some of the best gyros I've had, I'd say.


    As an amusing aside: they still use a 1994 or 95 Dodge Caravan as their main catering vehicle.

    At least one of which is a cash-in of a show on Bravo,
    its corporate sibling.

    This would be like if Viacom decided to retool one of its other networks into an American version of YTV full of shitty SpongeBob ripoffs
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    AU: Unbelievable. If this actually works, I'll be really surprised. Hopefully they put it out of its misery and make it a second NBC Sports channel or something. :P

    sa likes to rail against 'nerds' any opportunity they can (not a bad thing mind you), but this is because they are/were all nerds themselves who have since become painfully self aware. it follows that if you are a goon then you must be or must have been at some point, a nerd of some description, otherwise why would you pay $10 to join an internet site (its a fair policy but anyone who didnt have knowledge of sa wouldnt pay it because lol, who pays for things on the internet?? and you would have to have spent a fair amount of time on the internet to know about sa, and if you spend a lot of time on the internet, well...)

    sometimes it is funny but like everything else on the internet most of it is boring and terrible

  • like everything else on the internet most of it is boring and terrible

    eh, for the most part the internet doesn't really seem as much boring and terrible as it does repetitive and awkward.


    at least IMO

    It would probably need a retool to catch on. Nobody at NBCUniversal is very creative, though

    NBC Sports Network is in no position to compete with ESPN or, hell, the yet-to-launch Fox Sports 1 right now, as its marquee property is the NHL, which matters little to "flyover country"

    In order to succeed in America you have to catch on with flyover country

    i guess i can't really relate to the mindset of 'railing against' anything that isn't itself malicious or otherwise hurtful. i don't actually understand what would motivate somebody to do that.

    Like 'call out' threads, what's up with those? i always thought calling out was what you did when somebody is being an asshole, not because they said silly things on the Internet.

    I mean, some of their threads do tend to give off a sense of smug self-superiority, but most of the people I've met elsewhere online who just happen to be goons seem like good people, and some pretty cool stuff has come out of the site.
