Also,
if anyone didn't see it last week, we're starting a new thing where
anyone can request that I edit the time-stamp of their weekly "verbs"
threads so that sorting the comments by date will make them easy to
find. I'm keeping a list of who has already requested their threads be
changed. So if you want me to add you to the list, let me know!

In case anyone is needing to get caught up:
- Prince Ombra Thread, Week One
- Prince Ombra Thread, Week Two
- Prince Ombra Thread, Week Three
Note: Chapter 14 is long, so it will be split over Monday and Tuesday. Also, there will be no post on Friday, since I'll be busy doing real-life socialising with a certain ghost-cow.

It's hard not to just spend the rest of this three-day weekend mainlining this show.
Current Progress: Season 1, Episode 8.

Continuing with Season 1 Episode 3. Plaintext spoilers in the replies for as far as I've gotten. Oh, and I guess it would make sense to keep this at the top with the others, since I've been getting a lot more replies than I expected.

Ok, my brother has been trying to spoil this season for me for months, so let's do it.
(And you can put this on the front page)

Episode 5.08 LaFleur. This was fun. And informative. And, oh, who cares what happened this episode. SHIPPING IT!
As an X Verbs Y person, can I apply for modly magic?

I've never watched this (I know, I'm ashamed) but it's on Netflix Instant and I watched the first episode last night and THIS IS SO FUN.
(Can this get mod-bumped to the front, please?)

Discworld Noir is a fantastic game from 1999, set in Discworld. It's also a noir. Bet you couldn't have guessed that. It's a classic point-and-click adventure game, which is my very favorite kind of game.
I played it 5 years ago or so, after I finally got it to run on Vista. The game is notoriously hard to get to run on modern systems, but I've got it figured out. You do a full install, then download a no-cd crack and use that to run it. It occasionally crashes randomly, so you have to save often, but it's playable. You can find the game on cd on ebay, usually.
The game really plays like a lost Discworld novel, and Terry Pratchett was very involved in the writing of it. I thought some of the Discworld fans around here might be interested in it.
(Edit my timestamp,please? At least I'll be able to find it easier.)

This week I'm watching silent films from the years 1915 - 1927:
The Birth of a Nation (1915) - A film that is "admired" for being groundbreaking on a technical level but reviled for being horribly racist (which it is.)
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) - An early horror classic. Despite knowing it's name really well I don't really know much about it.
The General (1926) - A comedy film starring Buster Keaton. Ever since I saw Benny & Joon as a kid I've been curious about Buster Keaton so this seemed like a good time to try one of his films out.
Metropolis (1927) - An influential scifi film. I'll be watching the restored version.
It (1927) - A film that was lost for decades. It stars Clara Bow and it was the that spawn the term "It girl".
The Cat and the Canary (1927) - A horror movie that I don't actually know much about.

So, I idly decided to pick up a Discworld book- and one of the first I read, which is also, coincidentally, the begging of what's most likely the Disc's most popular group of characters, the City Watch. And wow, how far have we come.
The humor is of course, still razor sharp. Its just amazing to think how far these characters will go. Especially when the narration goes on about how Carrot is pining after an unseen dwarven girl or how Vimes never made anything with his life. Not gonna stay like that often, is he?
That said, its surprisingly painful to read about Vimes her.e. He's just so unhappy. He's never been a cheerful character....I'd hug him, if he wasn't fictional or didn't smell of alcohol.

Heads up! I'm putting up a Hugo nomination suggestions post on Mark Reads Tuesday morning (tentatively scheduled for 9 AM PST, but Mark may change the time). So, megotelek, get your awesome Graphic Story posts ready, and everyone else, if you have recommendations, start putting them together! Mark has no idea what to do besides vote for himself.

Okay, so after yesterday's season finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (which I actually liked) I hung out at a number of pony-themed forums to check the fan reaction. And the incredible amount of bile, hatred and raging inspired me to make a fan drawing.
Spoilerriffic drawing in reply.

Seeing some talk yesterday about sitting on the computer during the weekend and being bored, I thought I'd make an IRC channel on the Blitzed network for us. It's good because you can see who's online to chat and stuff. (It's not so good because I'm really good at idling/lurking, and I'm there all the time.)
(For those who don't know, IRC is just text chatting, basically. Very old school.)
If you don't have an IRC client, I recommend starting with Mibbit; it's web-based, cross-platform, and pretty solid. To get to the channel, select Blitzed from the menu by "Connect". Then type in a nick where it says "Nick", and put #markspoils in the "Channel" box. It should look something vaguely like this, only with your nick instead of mine. Then click connect.
If you want to experiment with me, I'll be there... as Cosmo. (It's my HOL name, which is why I'm on that particular server.) If you see Grumblesnore, that's me, too, but it means I've gone to bed. I'll be around basically all day, if you want to stop by and say hi.
