The final issue of Hellsing is finally out in America, I've finally read it, and I now can stop wondering just how it all ends. My life long goal of the last few years is now complete. God, I love Hellsing.

http://images.darkhorse.com/covers/300/16/16721.jpg

Now I just have to wait for those assclowns doing the dubs for Hellsing Ultimate series to actually quit ****ing around and actually release the new volumes. They've been pretty much doing absolutely nothing but beating their meat for the past year or two. Not to mention the Hellsing: Dawn prequals...

Watching the Bruins prospects at Development Camp, specifically my favourite prospect Spooner. Luckily there's an even bigger hockey nerd that goes to tape this stuff.

I'm a bit wary of that movie. I just feel like it's too soon for a reboot.

In honor of comic con coming up pretty soon. I can't wait!


Mykonos 07-19-2011 03:47 PM

I was actually going to say Skyrim, but it's already been taken. I guess the Chobot's more than welcome to replace it. I like the Jazzmaster and das perfectly organised Massive Attack library as well.

I just totally fell in love with Kaly Cuoco. And the bit at the end with Nathan Fillion was epic.

Nerdgasm to the pipes. Anticipation, did you see that Boba Fett helmet pipe I put on page 1?

Also - Kaley Cuoco ... that's the broad from Big Band Theory, Penny... yea? Never seen her out of character. I assumed she was as retarded as the character she plays. That's refeshing.

Yep, I've liked ever since I saw her on Charmed but I refuse to support that show because I really don't like it. I watched a few episodes and I'm like what? how did this even make it to air let alone survive for a few seasons.

Mrd00d 07-21-2011 03:15 PM

I don't know what Charmed is, and I don't have a tv, but when I finally checked out the Big Bang Theory, my jaw dropped at how much I love the show. I thought it was going to be a ****ty sitcom. I've watched every episode three times since I discovered it... in March. Sheldon Cooper is my hero. He is an exaggerated version of myself, and much smarter. Leonard is a douchebag, Howard is fun to have around, and Raj is the token Indian.

This show is actually my Nerdgasm entry for the day. Sheldon Cooper gives me nerdgasms of joy. His antisocial personality, OCD mannerisms, etc. are great to watch. Honestly, the show could have been called the Sheldon Cooper show, and involved him, Raj, and Howard and I would have been happy. Leonard and Penny are so-so characters. I grew to like them, but I almost ditched the show because of them.

Quote:

Sheldon is characterized as having an overtly intellectual personality: he exhibits a strict adherence to routine, a tenuous understanding of irony, sarcasm and humor, a vocal admiration for his superior intellect, and a general lack of humility or empathy. These characteristics provide the bulk of his character's humor and the center of some episodes.

If you're not in love with the Sheldon, you won't be in love with this show. I'd go gay for Sheldon. Unfortunately, he wouldn't care either way. I want a Sheldon Cooper.

He's the main reason I don't like the show, he makes nerds look bad. Like it's way over the top to the point of being unreal. I hate that show.

Mrd00d 07-21-2011 04:07 PM

It's not like he's overacting. There's people out there like him.

Quote:

Reviewers and fans have speculated that Sheldon's personality traits are consistent with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome and/or obsessive–compulsive personality disorder.
Along with being a grown up child-genius. A lot of times those go hand in hand, though.


Is this what you take offense to?:
Quote:

Despite his intelligence, Sheldon is usually inept in most social interactions. His eccentricities, direct remarks, and demanding nature put him at odds with his own friends and especially Penny. He has a distinct lack of emotional maturity and is often baffled by even the most common social interactions. He not only fails to understand the simplest sarcastic jokes made by Leonard,[18] but also regards Penny's sadness over one of her breakups with blatant confusion.[25] However, recently, he has begun to understand the concept of sarcasm, attempting unsuccessfully to employ it himself towards Penny in the second season,[30] and successfully employing it towards his friends in the third season. Sheldon occasionally uses slang (in a very unnatural fashion), and follows jokes with his catchphrase "Bazinga!". He is not entirely sure how to hug someone, and avoids human contact whenever possible. Despite his egocentricism, Sheldon appears to be somewhat aware of his social ineptitude, particularly his lack of understanding of sarcasm.
Sheldon is who he is. He isn't trying to be a hipster geek. He likes what he likes. DJ, you say he 'makes nerds look bad'. I disagree. He is himself. In the process, he is thrown into the nerd category. That's just because he's balls smart and has no interest in social relationships, choosing instead comic books and learning. Are you saying he's too smart? Bah. Are you saying he's an *******? That's a given, but it's humorous to see how his nerdy friends react to his social ineptitude and how Penny reacts. There's lots to love here in just analyzing what makes Sheldon, Sheldon.

Basically my point is that there really isn't anything wrong with the character of Sheldon. Entirely believable characteristics, at most a stretch from truth.

All my nerdy friends loved Sheldon and Big Bang when I showed it to them too, but that's because we are all lone wolf nerds as well. I love watching Sheldon shut down almost accidentally get laid by showing off his limited ed. Green Lantern lantern at a party. When he got the girl back home, he was all .. g'night and she was like, "Can't I stay in your room tonight" and he's like "Sure... I'll sleep in the other room, G'night!" Bwahaha.

To me it comes off as overacting. I know there are some people a bit similar to what he attempts to pull off but he goes above and beyond for the sake of the show/laughs.

idk I'll never like that show.

But third times a charm, I get it. You really dislike the tv show. But it sounds like you would petition this show off the air or something. Why so adamantly opposed to it? Do you really really hate it? Why/Why not? What are the redeeming qualities you see in the show, if any?

No, I wouldn't go out of my way to petition to have it removed from the air but I wouldn't be sad if it got cancelled tomorrow.

The few episodes that I have seen are enough to turn me away from the show and that's that.

I even saw a clip where they were making fun of World of Warcraft and it was off-basis and no just wrong.

Mrd00d 07-21-2011 04:54 PM

I hold no loyalty to WoW anymore. I've been clean for 3 years. My level 60s were geared out with Molten Core swag. I quit before the first expansion. My gear would be useless as ****. Oh yea. My point was, I didn't notice their factual errors. I just laughed. They certainly weren't making fun of Warcraft, they're making fun of people that play Warcraft. Like us. And they do it in a friendly way. And therefore, it's funny. I think if you haven't seen more than 20 episodes, you can't judge the show. Well... 10 (half of one season out of 4 complete seasons with about 20 shows a season).

Oh, and I'd probably lose some sleep if the show went off the air already. Seeing as how it and Doctor Who are the only series I watch that are currently still running, and I haven't caught wind of any other shows I might like. Current or upcoming. I researched online for shows to watch and came up empty handed.

Emulators. I have old Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 controllers hooked up to my computer, and I have every game ever made for most of the systems in that screenshot.

I also have a few thousand old arcade games :)

They all came from a private torrent tracker called Underground-Gamer...

I'm picky about sitcoms so if there is an un-likeable character there is no way that I'm going to suffer through watching 10 episodes let alone 20.

The Fall TV lineup has some interesting choices that are a bit outside of the box. I don't know how long some of them will last but they are very interesting imo.

Book nerd here
I haven't even tallied my total collection but I just got 30+ new books this weekend, for under 15 bucks. Aw yeah

http://meerchant.files.wordpress.com...ostwritten.jpg
I found this, which is the very first David Mitchell I have come to own, despite being in love with all his books. I thought I was going to hyperventilate. It was 75 cents.

I'm also really quite fond of cameras, like any *******.
I just picked one of these up

http://superimages.comlu.com/Polaroi...cture-1365.jpg
one of the very first Polaroid cameras, from the 1950's, for 8 bucks.

I was just nostalgia-ing being an Undead Rogue, creeping through the Plaguelands, one-hit killing clothies, and sprinting away.

Anybody ever 'nostalgia' for old video game locales that you don't get to see anymore?

I miss:

Counter-Strike
cs_office
de_piranesi
cs_italy

Halo 2
Midship
Zanzibar

World of Warcraft
Tirisfal Glades
Stranglethorn Vale
Eastern Plaguelands
Arathi Basin

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2
Favela
Estate
Quarry

I miss the days when I could create any character I wanted in Oblivion and do whatever I wanted. I explored that game to death. Morrowind is much better though.

Ooh, I know one that I miss. The good old Nintendo Colour Pokemon games. I remember when I caught Ho-oh on Gold. If I knew what a nerdgasm was then and would have been physically capable of having one, that would have been a time.

I'm playing Pokemon Crystal, I caught Suicune without a masterball and I'm instead going to use the masterball on Ho-oh. Man, I can' t tell you how many times I reset my game trying to get Suicune with an ultraball, it was tough.
