We have 2 TV's working with a cable output. One in the living room, and one in the basement. There's 2 TV's unplugged downstairs, although one got soaked from the rains after Irene. There's a final TV in my room, that I can only play my XBOX on, as there is no cable wire connecting to my TV.
My dad said something about removing all our old TV's...but they're big and clunky. |
All the computers in my house are HDTVs with the exception of one CRT TV that is used in a room.
Also, I'm annoyed when trying to play older video games on an HDTV :/ |

On the other hand, my PC's graphics card upscales things well enough to make sub-1080p content tolerable. Actually, more like, pretty good. Same goes with my 3DS and DS games. |
So... many... confusing... words...
I love having a TV in my room it's HD and great for video games and stuff :P Shameless advertising |

It was the oldest, slowest, most horrible computer you could imagine. Took like 5 mins to load a webbrowser, for instance. |
Our old computer had dial-up service, and that was a huge pain in the butt. Calls couldn't come in or out when someone was online. Thank goodness we got Broadband after getting our new computer, because it's so much faster, and calls can come in and out.
I think we had our old computer for about 8 years until water got spilled into the keyboard accidentally, we still had Windows 98. Windows 98 is so ancient... |
I wish I had a flat screen for my room.
|
I miss dial up, I mean I used to get so much reading done whilst pages were loading up.
Also new edition...Only took me 13 pages to notice. |
People still have landlines? xD We got rid of ours years and years ago, since you can use a cellphone in a house, lol.

I don't have a cellphone, so right now I'm kind of glad that we have our home phone. =3= it's also a way for my mom to call the house without picking one of us to call on.
|
Gosh how did we get from an epic football party to this ;;
|
I think it might have went from football -> TV -> phones -> landlines. or something. xD;
|
Quote:
|
Well I talked about phones because of dial-up xD
But football! Notre Dame is playing! Notre Dame is...losing...;____; |
Notre Dame is...overrated.
Always has been, always will. I don't know why ESPN and NBC are so in love with the Irish, they haven't done anything impressive in years. Maybe even since Lou Holtz retired from Notre Dame. |
YOU'LL NEVER GET MY NOTRE DAME EMBLEM ;____;
Well NBC has a contract with Notre Dame to play every game, so there is that, lol. But we're winning now! So there! It's so ironic...we're so good at pretty much every sport except for the one we're known for. :( We'd be really good if we didn't throw the ball to the other team so much!! |
But, the main thing really crippling Notre Dame is they can't close out games (@ Michigan this year), or they make boneheaded decisions costing them wins (vs. Tulsa last year.)
That's what is costing Notre Dame, they seem to always make the same mistakes. |
Well we won this time so there!!!!
|
Y'all know the Buckeyes are obviously better than ND.
|
Come on, it's clearly Texas that's the best. Hook 'em Horns. I mean, they have their own cable network.
|
Only cause they're the biggest college! D;
Cheer cheer for old Notre Dame |
4000th post about ND. I approve.
Also, Shrek has a ton of ND references in it as well ;3 it wouldn't be the same if ND wasn't so great! And don't you love Shrek? |

Yeah, it's great. I'm especially a fan of the music, lol. :3 And Donkey!

The general rule I've found involving sequels is that the original is amazing, the second is meh, the third is not quite as good as the first, and anything beyond sucks.
Also Netflix is awesome. oh and hi Live~ http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leipfeseHq1qa9iia.gif |

Streaming doesn't have all the things I want to watch, but it's got a decent library on its own. I just download anything else I might be missing out on. Cheapness, go!
|
Quote:
My 'To Watch' folder is getting pretty big, the majority is anime, and then some tokusatsu, JDramas and KDramas. Should get to watching them, but I'm not that motivated. |
I barely download movies any more, lol. I just get out movies for $1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays at my local video store. I think the last movie I downloaded was... A Streetcar Named Desire?
|
uggggh Big Bang Theory I have no time for that show
|
Re: sequels. Aliens is better than Alien; the Toy Story films get better with each one (TS3 is easily the best); many people think Godfather Part II > Godfather, but I haven't seen the second one, so can't really comment.

re: downloading - I never ever download movies or TV shows, I like to kick it old school. I wait til they show on TV here because I prefer the old-style TV experience with the ads and everything.
|
I like to watch shows when they are on. If I cant, I record it on my DVR.
|
I've grown to watch things on TV as well, which is why I don't really watch anime too often unless the series really catches my attention. For the time being, there is really only one series that does, though it might bump up to two (three if you want to include the Symphonia episode) in November. The second one is actually not anime though, but BBC Merlin.
|
Quote:
Also, regarding the Godfather trilogy, say what you will about the first two films, but at least both of them are better than the third. |
Winona Ryder shouldn't have a career, thanks to her role in Alien: Resurrection.
|
.o. I usually just stream stuff.. almost never downroads~~
|
I only download TV shows that take a few decades before they reach Australia. I would stream them, but sites like hulu and bbc hate Australia and tell us Aussies to go away. :(
|
For some reason even youtube hates Aussies.
How many times I've gone on a channel that would allow my country to view anything :/ |
VEVO :/
Youtube was so much better before they came along and took over. |
I loved divx's stage6, a shame it ended. :(

Opposite for me, I have to rely on good fanart for graphics, but the CSS always comes naturally to me because I'm a code monkey xDD
|
Proxies? How do they exactly work, anyway?
Sig/avatar combo, and a new one? Hmm... Yeah, I think you'll need that. But I also liked seed bby back when you had it... |
I... don't need to change my sig, the only creativity is when it comes to profiles or forum styles which is pretty easy for me despite my current profile sucking. Luckily I don't need to change my sig, though, otherwise I'd have no ideas.
|
Nica, you changed your style. WHAT HAPPENED TO KEEPING IT FOR A WHOLE YEAR? HMM GURL?
I just follow the same lines of creativity when it comes to css signatures, I have a tiny selection to choose from. I just choose a style of signature and place a random image, link my usual links and move on. |
Avatar doesn't count and that was a test anyway! a failed one at that.
At least I think you mean theme because I'm still using Stunfisk style lol. |
Right now I'm jut surprised that I've kept this theme for so long. xD; It's mainly because my sister hasn't changed her theme, but that's besides the point.
As for making themes I think I generally do a good job. People like 'em sooo... |
you know what i meant!!!
I haven't changed from Midnight Misty Revived in soooo lonnngggg, lol. About 2 years, I think. I'd love to be able to make avatars/signatures on Photoshop, but alas, my only Photoshop skills are in the gif area :( |
I want a Catherine theme really bad but I"m too lazy to make it. Or Vampire Weekend because I kind of want a real person theme for once.
|
No, Nicole! Real person themes are unholy and tainted!
|
;____; I just...don't care about most real people enough to make them my theme, lol. I was 75% of the way to a Betty White theme once though.
Edit: Omg want a Catherine theme so bad rn brb |
I really can't decide on a theme, I want to fix mine up with some fancy CSS.
|
I think I'll change my theme after PPC ends.
|
Words with friends is stupid now.

Scrabble doesn't let me make up my own words, so I don't like it.

Playing scrabble with made up words is more fun than playing by the real rules. You make up the words' meanings, too, and you win if you make everyone laugh the most.

I used to think that CSS was really hard and heck I don't want to learn it. Now I have it I'm convincing others it isn't that hard. I just like playing around with it :3
|
I can kinda make good CSS, I made my sig by myself still proud :')
|
The first time I used css and it worked I didn't change it for a month before I realised how beginner-ish it was xD
|
I'm lazy about playing around with CSS, but I can do a lot with it when I'm not lazy with it.
|
True, I only fix my css when I'm not lazy or just bothered about my current CSS
|
It does take a bit of practise, but thanks to forum CSS it was able to help me a lot on my ICT project when I had to make a website :D
|
I haven't done any CSS in years. 'Years' might be an exaggeration, but.. ugh, yeah. :|
The last website designing project I had was probably like two years ago. All we ever do these days is programming.. and stuff. |
The only time I really messed around with CSS was with the Pokédex 3DSnap contest thread.
|
I'm terrible at CSS. I didn't even do the CSS for my sig.. I slightly modified an old CSS code that Lightning did for me for another sig I had.. She's really good at it!
|
I remember when Alternative allowed me to join a collab, and then I made his CSS into a signature when I made a simisage/simisear/simipour signature.
Recycling old css is a nice way to begin understanding how the codes work and such |
That's pretty much what I do!
Recycling old CSS gives me the benefit of learning how it works, but then again I don't do a lot of experimenting with it. |
I don't think learning css to make signatures is hard. It's fairly basic.
All I had to do was float tags, colour and a background image with rounded borders. And the size, but those are all incredibly simple (and I like the result) |
Ah, CSS. I heard it's easy to learn, but I never really bothered. I know it can produce beautiful results, yet I never made any by myself. I either requested or copied a sheet and altered it.
|
I guess css isn't compulsory in anything, but it does look neat ^^
and I really want to contact the people who make Professor Layton games and show them my game concepts... is that weird o.o ? |
I have a feeling that I might end up not recycling my CSS for the next possible event... if there's any such event.

[FONT=Segoe UI]Sending ideas to companies... Most of the time, they end up getting lost in... time? Um, more like, spam folder.[FONT]
|
It's worth a shot submitting your ideas as long as it doesn't cost anything on your part, but because they're big companies, don't expect them to respond. But hey, you might get lucky.
*has plenty of ideas for videogames, some of them quite odd* |
If you got lucky, all the better!
*notices own formatting fail* |
Yeah, I pretty much started out recycling old CSS. I usually save most coding and old signatures on the notepad in the usercp, just in case I'd like to use an old layout or something. As long as you can get the hang of it, it'll get a little more easier, which is pretty much the same with anything.
|
I have to have some kind of template in front of me to do CSS. Like an old code, then I just make some tweaks and stuff. Otherwise, I have no idea what I'm doing. XD
|
I still haven't learnt CSS yet, I'm probably gonna try again this week.
|
I save every single one of my themes in their own folder on my computer xD The images for everything and then the CSS. Just in case.
|
I haven't used CSS since like... 2008.
HTML 4evr. idek, I don't really feel like CSS is needed for a good theme. But that's my opinion, everyone has their creative perks :3c I keep the same layout, just change the images and stuff. Thassit. |
Hello
Excuse me, what is CSS? It sounds familiar. |

It's like HTML kind of. |

...all I want to do is ask how they plan to create more and more Professor Layton games and not retain some level of the same story over and over. Then ask if they ever plan to take ideas from fans xD . Heh, I bet the people have heard that before :P |

You need an agent in order to send ideas to companies. They will not even read it or open the email without one. I don't understand why so many people don't read the company disclaimers regarding this.. because it's a huge legal liability on the companies' part. I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you take the steps to do it properly. (If it's a script, join the writer's guild, etc.) Do your research before sending anything. And if you ask that question, you'll probably just get a pretty neutral response like "We have a large story team that works on it etc etc etc" Though it's always a battle between marketing and the production team.. marketers want something that'll sell "IE.. follow the trend" and production always want something new and better. Bringing fans in the mix would also bring a whole other level of chaos. Only very rarely would they ever do so.. and when they do it's usually an announcement (like the MyLittlePony thing they're doing.) So yeah. If anything.. research before you post because the last thing you want is to be left hanging and wasting time. |
Good luck. You'll need it to make you listen / read by them.

I should look more into it. |

It's worth giving a try, there's a CSS tutorial somewhere on PC... |
Really? Would've been useful when I was trying to learn..
.O. Oh.. noms I'm hungry.. time to look into the fridge :333 |

I had a wonderful BLT for dinner today, it was soooooooo good. |
I'm not particularly good at it, but I've become a CSS addict lately lol. It's just so much fun to use!
