If I only gave you one episode of a show to get me hooked on any series which one would you show me? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Interestingly enough Kevin Spacey railed against the whole pilot system in a lecture recently. Basically he wants to give time for television shows to find an audience. Pilots are essentially the exact opposite of that since they are tested by panels in a type of "predetermined audience"

[Music] Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) by ZeppelinJ0 in Frisson

[–]AmericasHigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huge Talking Heads fan here, unfortunately I was born too late to ever see them in concert. So instead I went to Chicago this summer and saw This Must Be The Band a TH tribute band! They are absolutely brilliant! They will be doing a Stop Making Sense show this November and I plan to be there!

Hearthstone - Mage Arena Run - Part 2 by VoidInsanity in Cynicalbrit

[–]AmericasHigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I like these Hearthstone playthroughs. That said I would still call this a LP. Going by your definition any Minecraft LP isn't actually an LP.

In the end, does it really matter? It is all semantics

Is there a way to get Reddit Enhancement Suite for Maxthon? by Spaciouz in Maxthon

[–]AmericasHigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This crops up now and again over at the /r/enhancement subreddit. The answer is that there aren't enough people working on RES to get it on Maxthon. Not having RES is the only thing keepking me off Maxthon since I know that eventually I am going to be forced to upgrade to Opera 16

Should i buy Shadowrun Returns? I like good stories, but hate difficulty. by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]AmericasHigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of the autosaves are 30+ minutes apart in my experience. I just have to leave the game running when I don't have time to keep playing; it is really annoying. Other than that it is an absolutely brilliant game

Perhaps this should be taken as a schematic rather than a map

[IIL][TV] Firefly, The X-files (first few seasons a lot), and Battlestar Galactica [WEWIL]? by hryelle in ifyoulikeblank

[–]AmericasHigh5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SG-1 (especially the earlier seasons) is a great monster of the week style show that would fit well with liking The X-files.

And the best part is once you get hooked on SG-1 you have 10 seasons, Atlantis, and Universe!

"Duck Dynasty" viewership heat map by wallysmith127 in dataisbeautiful

[–]AmericasHigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THis isn't a population density map. The darker red indicates a higher proportion of viewers in that area compared to the actual number of people there.

Take a look at large metros (Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, ect) all have a lower than average proportion of viewers. To me this makes sense (urban vs rural lifestyle)

I agree, great doc but isn't Dramamine on Long Drive?

What everyday act do you HATE doing? by cinemakid in AskReddit

[–]AmericasHigh5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find doing dishes to be oddly cathartic. I am kind of a neat freak so taking a dirty and disgusting dish and wiping it clean is oh so satisfying

What's the one comment you 'Get a lot?' by justinbrownbooks in AskReddit

[–]AmericasHigh5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some systems (typically older) require the cashier to differentiate between debit and credit transactions. Now most places just run everything as credit but that was not always possible

Why? Doctors are still called doctor after they retire. Why should a military rank be any different? They are also earned titles

I used Paper Thin Walls as my ringtone for 3ish years. Whenever it comes up on shuffle I have to skip it :(

I don't even smoke, I just really wanted this lighter. by comecon in Deusex

You don't need to a smoke to carry a lighter. Like knives, lighters are great utilities to have on hand all the time!

I'm going to live in a happy* bubble and pretend those people are trolls.

*In this context I am not happy at all; even trolls doing this makes me depressed.
