    Happy people, how dare they be happy?


     


    really, I think I have some sort of neurological disorder, I seem to forget how to actually use a keyboard sometimes, and my understanding of basic grammar and spelling seems to be wildly variable.

    at this juncture, what you really want is to wreck your computer forever.


    or sell it.

    Well, if you really want to become a Pavlov dog, then you might want a collaborateur to stare at you 24/7 and shock you whenever you even glance at the computer. 


    Sure, eventually you'll become a luddite recluse living in Buttfuck, Argentina or someshit, but hey it gets the job done.

    A luddite recluse that gets shit done, though!

    Serious response: There's a Firefox add-on called "Leechblock" that shuts you out of websites of your choosing if you spend too much time on them.  I've tried using it and it's...so-so.  Doesn't really prevent me from turning it off altogether if I really want to see something, but it does add one more barrier to wasting time.


    I hear there's some program that will, on demand, block your internet connection until you restart your computer.  Don't remember what it's called though.


    If your problem is gaming rather than web browsing, maybe you could get a dedicated gaming computer and leave the games off your work computer.  I've thought about doing this...though I'm not sure how useful it'd be since I can easily just copy the games over digitally or redownload them.  And I don't have two computers.

  • stop pimping legend of the galactic heroes and trashing kiddy grade then


    I'll do it when LOTGH stops being great, and Kiddy Grade starts being good. And since that would entail a significant paradigm shift, I can't see it in a forseeable future.


    I'm already using leechblock, and I'd say it can be pretty damn effective in the highest "security" setting, not that I can't just find a website I haven't blocked yet.


    My comment was obviously tongue-in-cheek, though, and my problem is more with procrastination in general and lack of concentration.

    Yeah, I know that feel.


    I mean, I once got really, really good at Minesweeper.  And not because I love the game.


    One thing that might help is if you can see how your short-term obligations fit into a bigger picture of where you want to take your career/education/life.

  • There is love everywhere, I already know

    What's wrong with AHS?



    Not much really, just isn't my cup of tea content-wise. Kind of predictable, not very scary and fails to really be a horror series. Very cynical, none of the characters are really likable except Vivian, and in the end everybody dies because they were all really big idiots. We don't find out much about the house either. Anti-christ baby plot was just really stupid.


    So is the second season less-fantastical, being based in an insane asylum and all?

    If comics have taught me anything, is that the only way for a significant paradigm shift to happen is let Batman punch you straight in the face.

    One of the many reasons why such won't happen.


    The other one being that we don't live on the shithole designated as Earth 1.

    So


    I watched Paranormal Activity 4 tonight


    That ending was...


    It was something o.o

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    Wait...4???


    Didn't the second one come out last year?

  • If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    The second one's been out for years.

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

    No, it can't be that long, I was in college when it came out...


    -checks-


    1 year and 363 days.


    So...I guess they're just reliably making one every year. Okay then.

  • I'm a damn twisted person

    Icalasari - mind telling us about it in spoilers? Deciding if I want to kill an afternoon on that or not.

    Well, the movie starts out showing clips from what I assume is the past one, where a kid named hunter gets kidnapped. Years later, a teenaged girl notices a 6 year old. His mother ends up in hospital and the girl's family takes him in. The kid is creepy and does things like stay in the playhouse late at night. Creepy stuff happens (they use a Kinect to show the spirit/demon), but the parents brush it off as camera work (it's also revealed that the girl's male friend has no idea how to disable his computer from saving footage from computers... He's probably just a pervert though)


    Yada, drawings and symbols, bladablada, chandelier nearly falls on teenaged girl and the parents think she is just scared and it wasn't sabotage, warkwarkwark, knife goes flying into the ceiling and the mother doesn't find it, and it nearly impales the father scenes later, bleedlederp, girl is levitated or some weird crap like that, aroflmaodoodooooadoodoo, girl gets locked into garage with possessed car, blah, her adopted brother (different kid) nearly gets drowned, snurflesnurfle, her brother is revealed to be Hunter and needs to kill her or something to become a host because she's a virgin (yes her male friend tries to make a move on her), humdeedory basically mostly crap and the whole theatre was laughing at times and basically MST3King it


    Then the fucking last 10-15 minutes


    Mother comes home, hears creepy noises and gets SLAMMED into the fucking ceiling until she is killed (which takes... one slam) as Hunter's aunt is there. The girls' friend comes in a bit later and tries to send the girl a warning. Snap goes his neck. Girls' father investigates the neighbours house. Girl finds her friend's body then is dragged out of her room... And somehow fucking escapes the invisible force the movie really doesn't clarify how the fuck she manages that, then she RUNS TO THE FUCKING CREEPY HOUSE (seriously, she is an idiot for doing this. At least her friend had no reason to suspect he was about to get killed) to get her brother and father. Her father is basically being dragged around by an invisible force trying to kill him. Then she is chased by demon woman and escapes through a window to her brother. Her brother just fucking stares and she looks to see something like the whole fucking town possessed or something like that, then turns around again and gets attacked by demon woman and basically the movie would have been REALLY good if they just took all that shit that was at the end and spread it through the movie a bit better


     


    In short: Mediocre film that is really fun to mock to the point that pretty much the whole theatre will join in, then bam holy shit scary shit where the fuck was this stuff EARLIER!?

    Has friends besides tanks now

    . . . But the original movie was barely like that at all. :|

  • No rainbow star

    I have not seen 1-3, so *shrugs*

  • Has friends besides tanks now

    The first one wasn't too terrible, but it was much less violent than that, and much less doomsday-ish; no one outside the house was affected, and it wasn't constantly trying to kill the couple living there, so much as messing with them, at first. I haven't seen 2 or 3, so can't comment there.

  • No rainbow star

    ...Still want to know where the fuck they all came from. That was completely out of nowhere =/

  • Definitely not gay.
