Trying to figure out how to watch on demand with the xbox one. I am following these instructions but this app isn’t even popping up when I search or browse for it. Is there an alternative way?

You’re using a Comcast app and trying to follow instructions on the Xbox website?

I wish you good luck, because that’s a match made in purgatory.

Seems like it. Just trying to figure out how to do on demand with the dang thing. About to just unplug the comcast from the xbox and run to TV like I used to.

Hello! How are we today?

Is anyone here familiar with the set-up of MAD magizane movie satire set-ups? Well, I’m trying out writing a parody myself, on a video game! I enjoy that kind of humor, parodies. I’m having fun at this… I’ll if I can soon upload it.

Thanks for the positive comments guys!

> Gonna tell me what happened, or keep me wondering for the rest of my life…?

Good question. I did cry last night some more. I just feel like crap in general now. I’m trying to explain but I just sit there and think about it and feel worse.
I can’t even seem to explain it. I just keep typing and backspacing.

I guess I’ll say… one of the things making me feel bad, out of the many things, is that I willingly lost a friend trying to do the right thing. I also left somewhere. I just feel like a mess. I keep hoping something so impossible like now too, as usual. But other than that impossible-like hope, I don’t feel very hopeful in general either. Ugh I am confused and I don’t know…

I’m a mess. That is all.

When said content was previously used and enjoyed by millions of non-Windows users, people will protest. People will be pissed.

Having exclusive content is fine. However, acquiring control of content that was previously enjoyed by everyone and then proceeding to drop support for anyone that’s not using Windows is an extreme -Yoink- move. In fact, not only is it a -Yoink- move, but it’s also breaking anti-trust laws.

But I’m sure that Microsoft will sneak their way out of trouble. In fact, they’ll probably keep Linux and Mac support — but they’ll do all that they can to make it run horribly on those operating systems. Just like what they did with Skype.

RUN! IT’S GODZIRRA!

Sitting. Here. Waiting for GIMP to render a massive QBist pattern while I listen to some great songs with my new Samsung headphones.

Music + these headphones make waiting a great thing.

How’s everyone doing tonight?

Very interesting. We at least know that Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah will eventually emerge. Hopefully Anguirus too.

And I can’t wait to see how the public will react. Godzilla was praised as a hero, but how long will that last?

Also, this.

I personally hope Gigan makes an appearance. He was always my favorite Kaiju.

Mine too! (Besides Anguirus)

Though I don’t see how they could realistically bring him in.

Speaking of Gigan. Chris Mowry, the writer for the current Godzilla comics Rulers of Earth, said in an interview that he wrote a origin for Gigan, Where that he protect his planet from an invasion and almost died kinda like the Godzillasaur in King Ghidorah. But the planet’s natives, who he describes as like the fat people from Wall-e, upgraded into the cyborg we know him as. Then later kills off the natives and travels to planet to planet nearly killing himself to be upgraded and make even more powerful like the Saiyans in Dragon Ball. Unfortunately, Toho won’t allow it since they have a thing against new origins for characters and said that “Gigan is just Gigan, he needs no origin”

Here’s a link to that whole interview but I don’t remember the exact time when he said it though.

Well, that’s an interesting, if somewhat cliché, concept. It doesn’t really surprise me that Toho didn’t allow it; storytelling was never a strong point of theirs.

Man am I tired. I am sedning this with my eyes like half opn.

with that good night waypoint!

Out of curiosity, have you seen a psychiatrist? Maybe I’m crossing a line, but you seem hardcore depressed dude, and depression is not fun stuff.

I really disagree. Since most having very good ideas and execution. Like Gojira, GMK, G2000, Biollante (which I think its very underrated), Mothra (1964) just to name a few. But hey at least they try to tell a story unlike some of the knockoffs like Yongary or any of the Transformers movies.

Well I have an admitted bias against Japanese storytelling. It’s one of the reasons I despise anime.
