Just watched some Game of Thrones scenes on YouTube; namely the gore and sex scenes.

JESUS. CHRIST. That was really unsettling.

They don't hold back on the explicit nudity or ultra-violence. One scene showed a little kid being stabbed; something I thought programs were supposed to avoid showing.

It's an HBO show. They can pretty much do whatever they want.

Huh, I don't think I've ever watched an HBO show before. That explains why I'm so shocked...

TheOnly · **Reply #10278 on:** October 09, 2013, 09:57:35 PM

HBO, Starz, Cinemax, and others alike tend to have shows like this. I personally love Banshee on Cinemax.

Yeah. It's a premium channel that requires separate payment. Due to that, they don't have the same censorship restrictions that reg. cable channels have.

Jeez it's really raining cats and dogs today, I don't think I'll be getting out of the building I'm in since I don't have anymore classes today.

Ahh, I see.

At the same time, I'd have to give AMC props for falling under the "basic cable" category, yet broadcasting a really a graphic show like The Walking Dead. Hell, even Breaking Bad had some surprising moments for a public series (throat cutting and melting bodies).

I don't know much about what exactly public television can allow, so perhaps gritty violence and other content that fall within the realm of "mature content" is not as uncommon as I initially thought. However, I've never seen strong profanity on any public channel. That much seems to be a sensitive area to go through.

Didn't you hear Phi? Here in Muricah it's okay to have exploding heads on prime time television. But one nipple slips out and WHOA OMG WE CAN'T BROADCAST THAT

Yeah, pretty much this.

I hope this rain lets up by 4:00 it's super depressing and I forgot my umbrella.

Amatiramisu · **Reply #10285 on:** October 09, 2013, 10:31:06 PM

It's cloudy here and I HOPE it rains.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #10286 on:** October 09, 2013, 10:36:38 PM

Okay rain's gone, must have just been a super cell.

TheOnly · **Reply #10287 on:** October 09, 2013, 10:49:47 PM

Over here, it rains, then stops, suns pops, rains, then stop, been like this the whole day.

Police Girl · **Reply #10288 on:** October 10, 2013, 12:16:59 AM

Nothing of interest going on here.

Went to the dentist, that was really it in terms of stuff happening today.

Finally found a PROPER version of those guitar samples Chikayo Fukuda uses.
The other two times I've found them, they sounded like [parasitic bomb], and/or were [tornado fang]'d up.

Ate something. Now my gut is acting up.

Phi · **Reply #10291 on:** October 10, 2013, 12:45:34 AM

You seem to be in pain quite often, Quickie...

Quickman · **Reply #10292 on:** October 10, 2013, 01:00:02 AM

Just IBS flaring up. I should be on medication for it, but I'm not. More trouble than it's worth, so I just stubbornly power through it.

TheOnly · **Reply #10293 on:** October 10, 2013, 04:30:05 AM

Ahhh, damn damn damn. My mom ans sis left to Mexico to get on a plane. And my OldMan just told me that the plane landed but that her and my sis never came out of it. I just hope nothing horrible happened to them and that they are just O-K.....

I think the worst of the HBO shows I've seen was an episode of The Pacific in which a soldier was dropping pebbles into the puddle formed in a dead enemy's scalped and hollowed out head. Most nudity in that particular show was some brief full frontal from some French guy showering in the jungle, whom then proceeded to shoot himself in the head because he was so fed up with the war and conditions they were stuck in.

... yeaaa. Its older sibling series Band of Brothers had a bit more discretion though. Totally recommend that one if only for the soundtrack

So some guy sent me a friend request on steam a few days ago.

He then put a comment on a screenshot I made that simply said "Accept the Invite. You know me."

I checked the guy's profile, doesn't ring a bell.

I check my thing today and the invite is gone.

Either the guy was completely wrong about my identity or it was that guy from last year who was an incredibly clingy douche who got pissed at me for being online but not talking to him. Yeah I don't really want to be his friend again.

I went to use the bathroom and Mabel was sitting on the toilet.

Phi · **Reply #10297 on:** October 10, 2013, 05:32:32 AM

It's a shame you can't engage in a kick-fight with a cat.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #10298 on:** October 10, 2013, 05:34:08 AM

Catnip is your only hope.

Quickman · **Reply #10299 on:** October 10, 2013, 05:38:24 AM

I shooed her off so I could do my business. I'm hoping she teaches herself how to use the toilet.
