"does the rise in the popularity of hp lovercract coincide with trends in the rise of secular horror concerns (body) vs religous ones (soul)?"
"secular horror seems to me that the concerns are fears of earthly concerns "now", wheras religious horrors are terrified of "after""
"of course modern religious horror does exist and it seems to try to have it both ways, physical pain THEN death THEN afterworldly angst."

Would you know that the borecast is the only "podcast" that I've ever listened to?
People on the internet are now seeking the quickest, smallest and easiest way communicate. First there was websites, then forums, then blogs, and finally bit sized tweets. That's the way direction which all social networking are taking in their evolution.
As soon as this thread was posted he sent many thought provoking tweets to fill his front pages and hide his other tweets.
i would rather smart people of the eric p variety take all those thoughts, reflect on them, and put them out for consumption in a venue that
i would rather smart people of the eric p variety take all those thoughts, reflect on them, and put them out for consumption in a venue that allows for more than 140 characters
i thought blogs were great, and turned me on to a lot of material i would otherwise not have picked up on, but now i am noticing a lot of people i used to follow have abandoned their excellent blogs for twittering or tweeting or whatever the fuck it is called
some day there will probably be an even shorter posting service, which condenses your 140 characters into an acronym
"twit"
which of course stands for "This Wasn't InTended." The final shot of this lurid drama is the dotcom billionaire unable to express his anguish for what he was turned our discourse into. He raises his hands to heaven and shouts "!" at an uncaring G.
oh god damnit
did i just hear the term "bite sized chunks"? for fucks sake i've heard that in every podcast for the past three months. cut that shit out, internet.
bloodwake recorded his reviews solo and sent them to us
record a rap and send us the link to download it, if it's funny we'll use it somewhere

i am sure i am gonna get reamed by the philosophy "experts" so internet snark mavens get your keyboards warmed up
What's wrong with Slayers animation? It's inconsistent, but dunno I'd consider it terrible.
Drinky, no fan-servicey-bouncy titties in Slayers? Have you never seen the movies/OVAs? Gourry is replaced by huge-breasted Naga The Serpent!

I remember it being good for the time. Typical TV animation.

Windows ME rocks. It was the last TRUE Windows, before M$ went crazy trying to foist its overengineered NT crap on the general population which had and has absolutely no use for that nonsense. My second-favorite OS after Mac OS 9.

A little of both-it's sort of both a tycoon game and a truck driving game, complete with stops at weight stations, cb radios, etc.
The weird thing is that the series apparently has a a pretty huge following, and the people that play them aren't the sort of yokel casual gamers that you'd guess judging from the product title/packaging.
if i ever find a copy of white van racing eel will get a copy, this i swear
Don't user twitter
Don't use facebook
Don't use MySpace
Hell, I don't even have a blog!
If you tweet in the woods, does it get read by a friend ;_;
I think I would get so depressed, reading a twitter feed of someone that has no friends offline and online but they just want to be part of something.

Good idea breaking up the episode into 2 parts... CD length makes for just the right amount of listening in one sitting.
If you start splitting the episodes in half, you could potentially have a weekly podcast!
Geez, you guys get kind of philosophical. rock on. :spin
Lil Pope will guest. :P
I'll have my recording/studio equipment up this weekend.
:lol :lol dick in mouth. :lol
i wanna record my daughter saying awful things for drops. i will field suggestions, here!

I'll write the GAF thread. Should I just copy & paste from the Borecast website?
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=15157421#post15157421
There it is. Simple copy, paste, and the GAF names of Doug and Kevin. A pretty inoffensive post so it shouldn't get banned quick.
If I get banned, whatever.

that all-time partykiller Religion.
Let's pretend that there's only one existing religion. It obliges people to practice some (arbitrary, perhaps?) acts and manners while promising good fortune for those whole and not so good for those don't. It doesn't, however, include any of the eccentric, violent and extremist beliefs that some religions have.
Would following that religion be a good or a bad thing? It instruct you to ways to interact with others, things that would make you less of an asshole. It'll offer you ways to cope with death, injustice, and incentives promoting good actions. The drive would be out of fear of the bad fortunes waiting for you after death, which if fully believed would be more powerful than anything a person would promise himself to do.
Now is that a bad thing or a good thing? would you rather take that or go through the other path, which is enjoying your life the fullest with no boundaries other than some limits you set yourself (some of which are very prone to be broken). You won't have anything to help you deal with life's misfortunes and tragedies, no long term goals to motivate you, you also may be more susceptible to depression due to the aforementioned reasons.
In other words, delusional but healthy and happy, or free, enlightened but prone to psychological illnesses?
You're absolutely right, of course Jinfash (the fictional character dammit >:() can't go back once he realized the truth. It would be stupid to pretend at that point, but my QUESTION is, was perusing the "Truth" worth the trouble and the grave consequences?
He used to be a fool, but a happy one at that.
Kahnt. and I'm pretty sure the first syllable of Kierkegaard rhymes with beer, not with uh James T. Kirk
but I refrained from bitching till now
I pronounced Kant like "can't" because otherwise I was apt to call him "cunt" and then giggle like a schoolgirl.
If the only way you can achieve happiness is by being willfully ignorant, you are undeserving of happiness.
Ignorance may be bliss for some, but if everyone, or at least most of us, embrace ignorance, it will lead to a less happy planet. Those who have embraced ignorance have caused or exasperated many of our planet's ills. It's only because of questioning, open-minded, thoughtful people that many of these ills have been either reduced or eradicated.
The truth, on occasion, hurts; falsehoods kill and enslave.
Yeah, you're totally right.
It's just that in the "before" the guy thought what he believed in was the unquestionable truth while others were the "willfully ignorant". How he discovered the "truth" was purely coincidental and not by soul searching for having prior doubts.
holy shit, epic fail in pronunciation on kant -- my grad student teacher has betrayed me :(

it's true :(
I must say I have never had any difficulty whatever keeping a straight face while pronouncing Kant's name. What is wrong with you people? :maf
fuck malek beat me to it. >:(
Well I was going to say that clearly Malek and I don't like Kant. I think my joke was better.
:lol Doug likes manime

Yes he does 8)
God, the Milk segment was so much better. I'm so glad it was actually better, haha.
Part Two: Solid segment. Bloodwake already shown a significant improvement over the last one. I admit that I eventually lost interest here. I think the back and forth conversations keeps segments interesting. Without that, my interest drops. So nothing against Bloodwake.
