Hugo Award Nominations trigger warning & discussion thread

Note: the trigger warning format will be in the first reply. Replies to that comment will include triggers collected in previous weeks, as well as any triggers added this week. Lists of trigger warnings won't be complete, as they vary from person to person, but we should try to at least warn for things on the MarkSpoils trigger warning list here: http://markspoils.blogspot.com/2014/02/triggers-t...

Sorry for not having this up last week. Life happened.

More random Dark Souls thoughts as I play through the first one. Plus a music question, for anyone familiar with... you know, I don't even know the genre. Classical/strings I guess.

Thursday at 8 p.m. eastern I continue my blind run of Dishonored.

Confession, while replaying the first mission I lost my save so while I resume at the same spot as I left off, some things will be a bit different. (Yvxr V sbhaq gur fnsr pbzob gung jnf evtug va zl snpr naq tbg gur tha)

Now that I've got access to decent bandwidth for downloading, I've been binging on some of Mark's old videos I never got to watch (and realizing how spoiled I was in college for great scifi TV- TSCC, Dollhouse, Fringe, the end of BSG all aired overlapping, and I also first wached Farscape and Firefox in those years). And I just wanted to ask- does anyone have a particular favorite moment from one of his videos? Cause mine, is (Dollhouse) uvz ergerngvat vagb uvf ubbqvr qhevat "Trggvat Pybfre"

Pokemon Go has none of the tactics and complexity, or the attachment of leveling up your first Pokemon that made Pokemon games so engaging. In fact, Pokemon Go is possibly the worst Pokemon game ever created.

I'm level 9 and have walked just 15km so far, I have around 10 Pokestops near my house I like running a back and forth circuit of. I don't stand a chance at any of the Gyms now. Sunday night after everything was going down I saw a CP 120 Pokemon guarding a Gym and thought "Oh, I'll fight that tomorrow". Fought it, then discovered I need to swipe more as the next Pokemon in line had 1100 CP.

What the hell locals? Do none of you have lives? How the hell do you pull that off so quick?

Share an LP!

I know some spoilees are fond of Let's Plays, or have favorite channels or streamers or series. So i wanted to try out a thread for sharing these.

Post one particular LP series that you watched and what you like about it, what others might like about it. Maybe it was the reaction, or the humor of the LPer, or a unique take on that game, or something similar. :D

So, Monday I called off work for BS reasons (I just could not stand another clopen...leaving at 10:45 and having to be back at 9:15 when going to work involves a mile walk and a thirty minute bus ride...). I don't do that often.

This morning, after leaving my house, I tripped and hurt my ankle. And then walked on it for a mile and then stood on it for seven hours.

This...was not one of my better plans.

If you ever feel like your job is a joke, just know that I spent the last 5 days doing nothing but gluing the bar codes from soup cans on to bingo cards so the public library can get free stuff.

It was part of what's called a Community Based Assessment to see how I work in a regular job as opposed to a sheltered work environment. My conclusion is: "Oh my god take me back to the sheltered work, please!"
