So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.
Sell me on starting to watch Dr. Who. I have it sitting in my Netflix instant queue.
Watch the episode "Blink".
allright but is it a storyline, or is it episodic where if I miss one it won't matter.
A mixture of both. Usually there's a myth arc that's explored in the finale, but individual episodes can be watched without knowing or caring about it. This is slightly less the case in Matt Smith's time.

Well, it's an all-ages sci-fi adventure anthology show. What that means in practical terms is that, like watching Twilight Zone or something, the stories are going to vary wildly for you - some will be huge hits and others will be huge misses and others will be something in between, and nobody can really predict for you which will be which or how many of each kind there will be.
It's got glossy production values (the first season is kind of ropey effects- and production-wise, but it quickly ramps up) and tends to get a lot of fantastic guest stars. The stories are very big on emotion, adrenaline, humor, and character moments and don't bother as much with meticulously working out every detail of the plot - which isn't to say it doesn't have complicated plots sometimes, but it's not fiddly about the details, because being fiddly means slowing things down, and it never slows down. I've noticed this makes a lot of traditional sci-fi watchers really angry. Basically, if you're expecting Battlestar Galactica or Stargate SG-1 or something, don't. This is nothing like that. This is not a show for people who take themselves too seriously to watch our heroes being menaced by killer mannequins or giant flying bugs.

Q101 played Longview, Peaches, Say it ain't so, Mayonnaise, and Killing in the Name, all in a row while I was driving back from a meeting today. It was like "Oh hey, high school."

That's not entirely true though.
I don't think anyone has admitted to disliking Blink, The Girl in the Mirror etc.
maybe you should do something that's not playing a video game 14 times in a row
I don't really have anything better to do
On a semi related note promode guitar and drums in Rock Band have occasionally made me feel guilty for playing other things. My brain sometimes gets all "Yeah sure this is fun but you could be having fun and actually working on skills you know"
And then I tell my brain to shut the fuck up and pay more attention to the killing of Geth/opening of portals/destructing of endless seas of giant robots.

Eddy the joke centered around "I mean wow..." which could be an innocent expression of astonishment or a comment as to the ordinariness of spending 200+ hours on world of warcraft

don't bother with it.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
I think you just create a vortex of such powerful WRONG that everything I've ever said is instantly 100% correct and true leaving no doubt for anyone ever.

I don't know, doctor who always sounded kind of stupid to me, daxon
its time travel is so unrealistic
It's time travel is a plot device and merely the road it uses to make everything awesome.
Time works in direct relation to what the plot demands, and it's really not a show about time travel. It's a show about an immortal time-travelling alien who picks up human friends and goes on adventures with them.

I want to pick some brains in regards to my 401k.

Yeah, that's at the very least 200 hours spent playing that one game.
I mean wow..
Alright, that was pretty clever.
je ne comprehend pas
...
My Aspergers cannot support such an endeavour.
Hmm
Daxon if this was intentional? You are brilliant
If it wasn't you're still brilliant, just slightly less so
Also I would make a smart remark about 200 hours on a single game
But my time spent on EQ and WAR is better measured in weeks rather than hours so.... yeah :P
On the plus side those are all good songs
That's not entirely true though.
I don't think anyone has admitted to disliking Blink, The Girl in the Mirror etc.
Because I'm a bloody genius.
You should all worship my fantasticness, really.

EDIT: Which I guess is 2 hours a day. Hmm that doesn't seem that much, unless you look at it as 700+ hours
don't bother with it.

Stop that, it's damaging.

Ridiculously scary, stupid, hilarious adventures.
