Satan, Satan, Lend Me a Dollar

Hi there, sexy. Watchu been up to? Yeah? Nah, sounds cool. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. NICE. Yeah. Yeah. Really? What are you wearing? Haha hot. Take it off. =p Yeah. SOON. Nonono. Yes. No. I'm spent.

Um, I've not been doing shit lately except some slight arenaing on my priest and mage. Beta is still boring as hell as there's nothing to test and most everything is still broken. I'm working on a new Noir but it probably won't be finishes for a while -- it's pretty different than the others. It's about Alpha and is hence semi third person-y.

You know what's gayer than aids? Television. Well, not TV per se. I love TV. I hate the system. Cable, Satellite, whatever. Networks. I spend 104.99 per month just for digital HD + Showtime + HBO -- the only time I turn on my TV at all now is to watch Weeds. And before that Battlestar and Gossip Girl. And when Weeds ends, hopefully Entourage will be back on. My point and it's somewhat lost in my stupid ranting is that who the fuck gives a shit about most the channels and who really identifies with the whole concept of networks anymore.

Ever since iTunes, we don't watch channels, we watch shows. Pick and choose. Cable is like the shitty buffet from school when all you wanted was some chicken fingers but you had to still wait behind all the fatty mcfatfats getting who the fuck knows what. Why can't TV go to a subscription model? You pick the SHOWS you want. You pay for the SEASON and that's what you get. And to allow for experimentation (no, not the just-the-tip kind), why not just have the first episode or two of each show be free?

Granted this doesn't make sense for all channels, but it certainly does for some.

RADIKAL WHY CANT U JUST DOWNLOAD IT OFF ICHOONS U DUMB SPICGOOKNAGA.

Because it's gay and slow at updating and I need to watch shit without waiting days. I don't mind commercials. Every fucking commercial could be Kotex for all I care.

RAGE RAGE RAGE

And no, I don't even get any porn channels. Porn channels, tbh, are the only extra channels that provide any utility. Bravo? Lifetime? CSpan? Who fucking wants this stupid shit?

BUT IF U GO TO A SUBSCRIPTION MODEL NOBODY WILL PAY FOR THOSE STUPID BAD CHANNELS AND THEY WONT SURVIVE

Good. I wish dicks on those channels. I don't want any of them. History channel fuck you. Discovery, I might pay for shark week, otherwise fuck yourself. All those bad American sitcom shit networks, fucking kill yourselves you dumb whitewhites.

A lot of popular shows pull 10 million viewers per week -- at 2$ an episode plus commercials and product placement, that's pretty solid revenue. It's certainly enough to finance even the costliest of shows.

Fuck.

I don't even pay for cable/satellite anymore. I either download from torrents (usually available an hour after show airs, popular shows also have HD versions), or watch them on Hulu.com (legal, pretty good quality, but can occasionally be slow causing me to torrent).

If it's a really good show I'll almost always buy the DVD, so if you want to call me a thief, FY.

Don't pay for cable, you can watch Jon Stewart and the Venture Bros. for free on the internet. And Venture Bros. is starting to suck anyway.

Just get a usenet subscription. I pay $25 a month and have every film, tv show, album or whatever the shit interests you available. Bittorrent is shit unless you are on a private server and enjoy uploading 24/7. With usenet I can always download at my speed cap with no hastle. Haven't turned on my tv literally in months.

I torrent all my shows simply because it's easier and more convenient than any other way of watching them (and yet I'm still paying for a cable subscription, I should turn that shit off). If you get on private sites you can download shows in HD as well, which I do for certain shows like Generation Kill.

Or if that's to much of a hassle Usenet is a good way to go.

how can you hate on discovery/science/history channels ? while I like the hbo/showtime series (a lot) those actual educational channels are not only incredibly entertaining and informative, but they are quality programming a much higher percent of the time than HBO and Showtime. Most of the time on HBO/Showtime you're 15 minutes into a movie you dont wan't to see, on 20 channels.

though, you can flip into 20 minutes into some science channel show about a mission to mars, or halfway through How Its Made and be thoroughly entertained. Moral: Don't hate on history/discovery/science.

Trying to figure out the conversation at the beginning of the post. Can't figure out what the person you were talking to said before your "Nonono." though.

Any clues?
