You might not like the more actiony parts of Walking Dead when they have to deal with well... the Walking Dead aka the zombies. It's not too terrible but it can spook you if you're unprepared for it. But my memory of TWD is actually pretty bad right now so some others who are up to date on it could probably give you a more accurate answer.

Aeroblast September 23rd, 2013 9:40 PM

^I don't think I can afford to watch a show like this in the middle of the semester, unfortunately.

Sirfetch’d September 23rd, 2013 9:45 PM

I don't find it too scary, but rather just really intense. However some scenes will spook you a bit especially if you aren't into the horror genre.

Kotone September 24th, 2013 6:52 AM

i've never watched the walking dead. i don't like scary shows. i'll get nightmares.

Meganium September 24th, 2013 9:05 AM

I understand TWD is scary and it's not for everyone. I don't like scary shows either, and i refuse to watch horror movies myself, but I watched it because it had a storyline that's captivating. Not like other shows/moves that only has the objective of "RUN AWAY THERE'S A DANG MONSTER AROUND US".

Esper September 24th, 2013 10:01 AM

I'm still waiting for the zombie craze to end and the robot apocalypse craze to begin.

Zombie shows and movies are too cowboy for me.

Tsutarja September 24th, 2013 12:09 PM

Why are we talking about zombies in September? Can't it just wait until next month when it's actually an appropriate topic? xD

Nah jk.. I like me a good horror discussion every now and then. Zombies are probably one of the things I like when it comes to horror stories as well..

Sirfetch’d September 24th, 2013 12:42 PM

It is really hard to find a good horror movie now it seems. Most to me are so cheesy have don't have any plot at all. I guess that is the reason that I appreciate TWD so much because it actually does have a plot.

Tsutarja September 24th, 2013 1:01 PM

Is it bad enough that I looked back a few pages to see TWD discussion originates from page 2 and we're on page 5? Damn -.-

I really wish I had access somehow to watch the show but I really don't at all, and you guys are making me want to watch it now

AMC sometimes airs re-runs and probably will more frequently once season 4 approaches next month. Other than that your only option would be Netflix that lacks season 3 :c That said, you really should watch it ;D

Tsutarja September 24th, 2013 1:10 PM

Uy, Netflix.. I wish I had the money to cough up to use it but I don't >__> and too bad AMC doesn't put their shows up on Hulu either, because at least with Hulu you can watch stuff for free and they'd insert advertisements, which I don't mind at all

Yeah, I wish you could get Netflix because it is really the most amazing thing ever ;~;. I've never actually used Hulu as far as I can remember, but I wouldn't mind a few advertisements either as long as it was free!

At least Cartoon Network allows cable/satellite subscribers to watch episodes of their shows direct off their website if you provide your login credentials, and you can watch the live channel as well on their website.

I'll just have to talk with my parents and see if they're willing to get a Netflix account for streaming only, which is unlimited IIRC and it's under $10 a month.

Meganium September 24th, 2013 3:41 PM

I heard season 3 of TWD is on netflix already? I've been watching it on a third party website...with ads >_>

Also, I am so pumped for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D tonight. Too bad I can only DVR it since I'll be in class. Anyone else pumped?

Hiatus September 24th, 2013 3:57 PM

Isn't it set to premier at eight o'clock tonight on ABC? I'll try my best to watch it, since I'm a big fan of action shows. (: If I'm unable to catch it, then I'll try to view it on Hulu if they have it there.

Meganium September 24th, 2013 4:01 PM

Yeah, it is set to premiere at 8 pm...which is right now for you east coasters. I think it's a better time for me to get off Tumblr to avoid any spoilers. xD

Isn't Tumblr the best thing ever? I don't have an account yet, but I know that it always has the best images and everything. I need to stop procrastinating registering for it ;~;

Meganium September 24th, 2013 4:49 PM

DOOOOOOOO IT. People turn away from tumblr because they're afraid of porn but today that's been improved greatly and tumblr is doing their best in setting aside porn away from blogs that don't want any.

well, time for class. see ya PC :)

alisaie September 24th, 2013 4:49 PM

I registered for Tumblr so I can follow a few people for their artwork and make searching easier. I don't really actually use my tumblr. Maybe I should more often idk haha.

That is the reason that I plan to register haha. I don't really care about using it outside of searching for images and gifs :3

Shiny Celebi September 24th, 2013 4:56 PM

I have no use for tumblr, Ive been nagged to get one a few times but Id never use it.

Hikamaru September 24th, 2013 4:58 PM

I love Tumblr! I mainly like to follow a lot of fandoms on it, and Pokemon news and fanart obviously. I tend to reblog loads of stuff that catches my eye, because I sometimes plan to use images I find there for my avatars or sigs. In fact, first thing I usually do there every day is see if any Pokemon X & Y stuff has been posted while I was sleeping. I do have loads of diverse taste so no surprise if you see so many different stuff on my page.

Nathan September 24th, 2013 5:00 PM

Maybe I should join in the Tumblr trend and register too. I mainly use it to search for cool pictures.

Honest September 24th, 2013 5:09 PM

What, Tumblr was an issue because of porn? How come I'm just finding out about this? o_o

Sirfetch’d September 24th, 2013 5:19 PM

I also had no idea that porn was so prominent on Tumblr. I knew that people posted it, but I never thought that it was frequent enough to be an issue D:

Hikamaru September 24th, 2013 5:20 PM

I know I've run into a few porn here and there as far as Tumblr goes, but you won't see any of it on my page because I want to keep it friendly for any of you who visits it. But it's always annoying when I try to find fanart of certain anime characters and there's loads of like, hentai in the tag.

alisaie September 24th, 2013 5:21 PM

I've never encountered it myself (maybe once or twice? Maybe?) but maybe it's because all the tags I look at just don't have that sort of thing. At least not recently and I rarely have the time or patience to go through a whole tag.

Nick September 24th, 2013 5:28 PM

I had a ton of it on my last blog, but I deleted that.

Now it's soooo hard to find it, even if you're looking for it.

WHAAH! 8((((

That's pretty much what I do these days.. I go on tumblr just to search for some images and that's all. Maybe once in a while I'll post some original content from sites like deviantART or imgur but when I do post I'll like post 5-10 things at a time, mostly reblogs.

And ew @ porn on tumblr.. at least it's not 4chan or something along those lines.

/pats nick on the back

Hiatus September 24th, 2013 6:09 PM

I'm not a big follower of social media, so unfortunately, I don't have Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or any of that stuff. I do have have a deviantART account though, but I haven't logged into it at all within the last six to eight months. ): I've uploaded only two or three art pieces over there, and maybe a few of my Pokémon sprites, too, and that should be it. Nobody posted any comments on them whatsoever, so that was a little dissapointing. xD"

Honest September 24th, 2013 6:10 PM

Oh man, life without Facebook.

I don't think I'd survive. Please teach me your ways, Ashley.

Nick September 24th, 2013 6:12 PM

I have a Facebook, but I don't go there. I feel really unpopular there when nobody comments or likes my statuses, and I feel like those have a lot of weight to it.

Sirfetch’d September 24th, 2013 6:12 PM

I don't have a Facebook either and I survive just fine :D I did have a Myspace though back when that was a thing. Other than that, I am not a huge fan of social media and I don't even have a Twitter.

Tsutarja September 24th, 2013 6:13 PM

Pretty much the same with me.. I have a Facebook and I maybe only check it once a day these days since I'm never in contact with anyone I know and no one ever really pays attention to my statuses except for maybe my dad and when my ex was still friends with me she commented on anything and everything I posted.

Sableye~ September 24th, 2013 6:15 PM

I use Facebook, but I'm more of a lurker and almost never post anything. It's just helpful for staying in contact with friends/family who I don't see often. I actually formed a friendship with a cousin over facebook, even though we live in different portions of the country and have yet to meet face-to-face.

I don't even talk to people much there, and never play games.

Yeah that pretty much describes me on Facebook.. I lurk though sometimes I'll message a good friend of mine from high school to see how they are doing. And I have some extended family on Facebook as well, such as my uncle and a cousin. I never play games either, though I did play Candy Crush Saga for a while back in like April and May.

Eep, I hate when that mentality takes over some people, and then they try to grab attention/likes and the like no pun intended. That was my issue with the like system here when it was first introduced, glad to see I was proven wrong!

And I use Facebook way to much, mainly to keep in contact with everyone. It's also just helpful when it comes to work any such. I'm seriously in awe with you guys who don't use it xD

Hiatus September 24th, 2013 6:29 PM

The only reason I would have a Facebook profile is to chat with friends and play games. But I already have Skype for all of my chat-related needs though, and I'm really not that interested in any of the games that they have to offer. D: Some of their games do sound fun, but there's a lot of other games on my hands right now that I need to get done first. By the time I'm finished with these games, Pokémon X and Y would be released, which would have me stay away from Facebook games even more.

Honest September 24th, 2013 6:33 PM

Hm, that's my problem I guess. I don't know anyone who puts a big emphasis on Skype. I'd probably use it a lot more if there was people who did. I never have played any Facebook games, though. D=

Kanzler September 24th, 2013 6:52 PM

I do! Come skype with us D:

Sirfetch’d September 24th, 2013 7:58 PM

Skype is really great to me. It is the best way for me to stay in contact with my friends here at PC because I don't text everyone and VMs can be a hassel, however Skype is so much easier and I am on it quite a bit.

Hiatus September 24th, 2013 8:44 PM

Skype makes it much easier to stay in contact with your PC friends, I agree. We should all make a Skype chatroom one day, and allow everybody to join in. o: It should be a lot of fun. Skype chatrooms last forever (well, unless the owners delete them, of course), so that's a good thing. Whenever we log into our Skype, this would enable us to find all of our PC pals in one convenient place!

Kanzler September 24th, 2013 8:46 PM

Hehe, we kinda sorta already have one :P

I just find it so much more convenient as it automatically opens when I turn on my computer so all I have to do is switch to online mode when I want to talk to someone.

Kanzler September 24th, 2013 8:49 PM

Oh dude yeah! VM or PM or whatever man!

I think I've added about 40 PC members now on Skype and I hope it will be a good way to stay in touch with some even after others and I have left this place.

alisaie September 24th, 2013 9:05 PM

I haven't really been getting messages on skype aha. Other than two - four people and a conversation I'm always in I don't really chat. No wonder why I forget I'm online whenever I'm on busy. Gah I have such a lonely life but at the same time considering how often I leave my laptop and such it's not that bad I guess??

Meganium September 24th, 2013 9:11 PM

Yeah...I don't want to go in-depth (or even sound perverted in any way), but tumblr was used to host a LOT of HQ pornographic images & gifs and people would reblog them for their own pleasure. And even the person reblogging that stuff says their blog is SFW, once you reblog that it's not really SFW anymore and that really bothers a lot of tumblr users who are trying to steer away from it or deleting their accounts because of it.

Thank goodness for the "filter" option. That saves us all.

EDIT: OH WOW I WASN'T AWARE THERE WAS A NEW PAGE GDI DCC.

i also have a skype guys, it's my main way of communication because screw social media and stuff :P it's on my profile if ya want it. xD

baha I get frustrated when any thread doesn't take me to the current pages. Especially in the forum game sections where making sure you're on the right page and posting the right thing is important for most games.

Ugh I hate how one of my sections is still 'trivia' and the other one is 'game'. I wish there could be some consistency without changing PT to Pokemon Forum Games because that's lame and long.

I never really understood why it was Pokemon Trivia because trivia to me is like questions and things like that XD. But yeah, Pokemon Forum Games would be really long 8(

alisaie September 24th, 2013 9:30 PM

That's why Other Trivia (other than taking 'Other' out of the game) was eventually changed to Forum Games haha. But Pokemon Trivia is stuck in that awkward that is still being called a 'trivia' section when its not really one and not wanting that dumb long name.

Buuut at least the PokeTrivia League has trivial quizzes and such in it from time to time. ♥

countryemo September 24th, 2013 9:49 PM

I really don't understand Social Media.
I use my Facebook for sometimes contact but pretty much as a central news station where the tech sites I liked share updates that they posted. Plus all my stuff is pretty much ignored. And the games, ugh. Google + is better with games. :3
I have a twitter to use it when I need to, but I don't like post updates.
Instagram and Snapchat are just horrible creations.
I have a tumblr, why.. I don't know. Don't go on it often if at all. Seems way to un organized. I just get my images from facebook, shared from tumblr. :P

yeah.

Overlord Drakow September 25th, 2013 1:34 AM

I lurk my facebook and I don't really talk to people much on Skype either - generally speaking. I'm usually bouncing towards and away from my laptop so I always keep my status as "away" as I've upset people before when I've suddenly disappeared from the computer but left my status as available.

Tsutarja September 25th, 2013 3:48 AM

Social media is just "meh" to me these days.. there are times when I want to be active in social media and times when I don't want to be active in social media at all.. right now, it's one of those times where I prefer to be inactive since I'm mostly on PC these days whenever I browse the internet, and browsing PC keeps me far from being bored at this point in time.

That happens to me a lot, but most of time, it's when I visit DCC. xD I have no idea why it does that, though. Maybe it's some sort of a server-related bug? I'm able to fix this issue for a while whenever I clear my browser's cache, but it starts happening again after only a day or two.

Tsutarja September 25th, 2013 5:16 AM

I'd rather get stuck on a different page of a thread here rather than get ninja'd.. but I guess I should mention it's a habit of mine to always make sure I'm on the newest page as well before I post.

Legendary Silke September 25th, 2013 6:02 AM

It's hard to make posts on a thread that's moving fast for whatever reason :)

Synerjee September 25th, 2013 8:21 AM

I have Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts. I only use Facebook and Twitter, but not Tumblr anymore - I have no use for it. I'm not very active in Facebook, but I tweet quite frequently. It's one of the ways I express my thoughts I normally won't post on Facebook as I consider Twitter to be more...private in a sense. I usually feel much better after ranting on Twitter about something that's troubling me.

I almost always have this experience! It gets quite annoying after realizing you posted on the wrong page and have to edit your post and respond to the correct topic.

Meganium September 25th, 2013 8:43 AM

is it on the last page?

*checks*

good.

I don't use facebook anymore. It's stupid. I use Twitter but back then I was a huge addict but not so much anymore. Tumblr is my only site now. Now that site is addicting. But I sometimes consider PC as my main form of social media I guess. xD

Tsutarja September 25th, 2013 9:01 AM

It's kinda sad that I have to say I am on PC more than 95% of the time I am online, and I've given up on other communities as well.. I gave up Twitter over a year ago and now I'm giving up Facebook as well, but I don't think I'm finished with facebook just yet, considering that I haven't started school and could make some new friends.

Legendary Silke September 25th, 2013 9:55 AM

I don't think I'll be giving up on anything social anytime soon, seeing as I use them for things other than social networking.

New Eden September 25th, 2013 10:28 AM

I use Facebook and stuff for everything but talking to others right now. I just use it as a means to check up on pages I like.

Tsutarja September 25th, 2013 5:38 PM

Eh, Google+ and their hangouts.. I'd rather not mess with those because they tend to drag my computer's CPU up to 100 whenever I get on them and they severely downgrade the quality of one's audio and video compared to Skype as well.

Sirfetch’d September 25th, 2013 6:47 PM

I'd do one with my family or some of my really close friends here, but I am not sure if I would be up for an entire group chat as I get pretty nervous and I don't like the sound of my own voice, haha.

I tried this too but then I ended up getting so much online friends that, well, I just couldn't keep them separate anymore. I mean, I only added the online friends I was close with. Not random ones I've just met for a day. :P

I've never done a Skype video chat, either. I don't think I'd ever do these kind of chats with any of my online friends, to be honest, because I would be extremely shy to see them face-to-face. xD" I would have no problem with video chatting with real-life friends though, since I already know how they look and they know how I look as well. I get to see them in-person ever day, almost.

Same there. Too shy for this.

Don't worry I don't like the sound of my own voice either.. it's very weird though because my voice can output many different pitches from being deep to high-pitched..

And Skype is really good with video if you have good bandwidth. If you have an HD webcam (like I do) and good bandwidth, you can do HD video calls! 8)

I love doing Skype calls! Though I don't do video chats unless I know the people very well. I get shy :$

But for group Skype chats that are just voice only, I'll join in. But I usually say the least because I tend to listen to what's going on instead of inputting stuff. :P

I don't really get the point of Skype, hence why I still don't use it.

Hiatus September 25th, 2013 8:15 PM

I've made a few calls over Skype in the past, but the experience wasn't as great as I thought it would be. I wasn't able to hear the person's voice very clearly, and it kept making some strange noises in the background. Sometimes, it made voices echo as well. Personally, I think it's ten-times better to send out calls with your phone.

alisaie September 25th, 2013 8:20 PM

I've done several Skype voice calls with people. The last time I did one was a while ago though when I was watching an episode of something with few other people. One of my favorite moments of voice chatting with a group of friends would have to be when I was rewatching the episode that we watched earlier, but Went had come and joined us and he actually recorded my reactions to the episode (and the silence which was when I was crying haha). That was a great night. ♥

Meganium September 25th, 2013 8:49 PM

It's actually skype that kicks the CPU levels to the max, which is why I do my calls on my phone rather than on the computer. Plus it helps me maneuver things with less bandwidth. xD

I haven't tried hangouts, actually. I had a friend who encouraged me to do a hangout but tbh I'm still attached to skype lmao.

Hiatus September 25th, 2013 9:35 PM

I've given Google Hangouts a try with one of my friends before, and it was pretty... interesting. xD I love the user interface that it offers to us. It's extremely simplistic and very easy to navigate. Hangouts doesn't require you to download or install anything, which is good. It also allows you to take control of your friend's desktop, sort of Team Viewer. Oh, and unlike Skype, all of its features are absolutely free of charge. The only bad thing about Hangouts is that it can limit your computer's speed sometimes, especially if it's old. D:
