I'm in the camp of Prospero and Ix on this one. Heck, spoiling the end of Season 2 of Rick and Morty, a show I had no real interest in prior to that, was what made me binge watch both seasons.

That said, I'm also with Prospero on the last bit. I might let something slip when I'm rambling on and on, but when I think, I'll ask "Have you seen [x]?" before going on about it.

I don't like it when people spoil stuff out of spite, but if it's by accident then I try not to make a big deal out of it.

In some cases having heard more about a story of something(a game, a movie, a novel, a tv series, etc) has made my interest peek and I end up checking it out because of it. Can't really remember an instance where I've stopped watching/playing/reading something because I've heard a spoiler for it.

Perhaps this is more at home in the venting thread, but:

Do you think humanity at large will ever understand the difference between peek, peak, and pique?

"pique" is more often used verbally, so I doubt that one.

I think peek and peak can eventually be fixed, though.

Humanity still hasn't learned the difference between hear/here, there/their, you/u... In fact we seem to be actively unlearning in some cases.

Hey guys, I need help. And before you say "But Prospero, therapy is expensive!" I actually need help finding a specific video.

It's one of my favorites, but I haven't watched it in a bit and I cannot, FOR THE LIFE OF ME, recall the title at the moment. It had Graham, Andy, Paul, and Morgan all sitting around, arguing about what was going into the Bible like they were in a writers' room for a sitcom or something. I know it's on YouTube somewhere.

I dunno if someone read my post in the venting thread or if it's just very convenient timing, but we finally got another official sketch! It was the timing aspect, but I'm going to say it was me.

Yeah, the Crapshots just don't satisfy. I need a sketch that'll really fill me up.

I don't know what it is, but watching both Loading Time and Graham's recent vlog makes me want to get back into creating video and audio content again. I don't exactly know *what* I want to do just yet, though.

So I managed to tear my calf muscle (very minor) by driving. Yup, driving too hard, apparently.

Just wanted to share this moment of silly ways to get injured.

Does anyone know if the PAX East 2015 Crapshot is still in the pipeline?

Also, why is it when you go to look at all your posts from your control panel, the url says "search_id=egosearch"? Was this a lrr thing or phpBB?

what have I missed round these parts?

Can't find an anime thread, but for Sailor moon fans, Season 1 of Sailor Moon Crystal was just put up on Steam.

It still weirds me out a bit to think of Steam as a video-delivery system. But hey, that's cool!

Now if only I could find some news about what's going on with season 2...

Well not really, but certainly not feeling any younger either and getting to two and a half cycles isn't helping. Funnily enough, turning thirty itself doesn't get the (white) hairs standing on end. But. Give it a couple of years my dad turns sixty and then the years start making their presence known. The difference a little proxy distance makes.

Not the end of anything obviously but do feel maybe a pointer or two wouldn't go amiss. Aware that a number of people round these parts have some experience of crossing the Logan's Run threshold. Any waypoints to keep in mind for the sake of navigation?

Well, it WILL feel weird; I always thought of it as "Well I'm not 'old' yet...but I'm not 'young' anymore, either. And since I always felt 'young' up to now, that's where the odd-feeling's coming in."

There's nothing wrong with it; it just is. I started getting white in my temples, and my moustache went all salt-and-pepper fairly quickly. I got philosophical that "at least it's turning white instead of falling out altogether." ;)

Watch out for a slowing of your metabolism that might happen around now - keep an eye out for not feeling as active (maybe stuck in a sedentary job, but your workouts are becoming fewer in the course of the week, or maybe you're just finding you'd rather cuddle up at home than go out and <do active thing>) and if it happens, either counteract it, or curb your appetite to match; I've seen LOTS of people start to 'thicken in the middle' around this time. As for me, I've always been chubby, so it was harder to notice, and I kept at fairly active, physically-engaging jobs, so it held off some. But meeting a friend I hadn't seen in years and he'd gone from doing multiple triathlons each year, to suddenly being...'stolid' ;) ....yeahhh...

Anyways, hope something outta this rambling helps (or at least makes you smile)
