Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, October 20 2006 13:49 Profile Homepage #27 I don't watch a whole lot of TV. Occasionally, I'll scan Comedy Central for stand-up or South Park, and I watch The Daily Show every so often. And every so often my roommates and I will end up watching some random National Geographic special. Oh, and baseball. Always baseball. quote: Originally written by Lenny: God, that reminds me. The Mets lost tonight :( . Now, I'm a Yankee fan and all, but I was really rooting for them. Ninth inning, bases loaded, two outs, and Beltran strikes out. I don't think it would've been as painful if the bases weren't loaded, damn. God, that reminds me. The Cards won last night! :D Adam Wainwright is the king! -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Kingy Lifecrafter Member # 3171	written Friday, October 20 2006 15:26 Profile Homepage #29 quote: Originally written by Spookee Salmon: Watching your computer screen when watching a movie is silly. Unless you have your computer in front of a couch, a suitable distance away, with a coffee table in between for popcorn or drinks. But then it is just sad, you know, to have your computer set up in the living room like it is the center of your life. Yea, I have my comp set up right infront of the couch because I usually download tv series because otherwise I'd have to wait for like a year to get it over here.

Law Bringer Member # 335	written Saturday, October 21 2006 09:51 Profile Homepage #33 Spending all my time fighting people turning on the TV by turning off the TV might be satisfying but it's just as big a drain on my attention as leaving the TV on. —Alorael, who could also just bring his rifle with him and shoot all televisions.
