We all watch DC and the H2H's plus other crew member streams off and on, but we also would like to see what the other folks who are streaming as well. I was watching a R* stream a bit back and it was switching from one player to another so I done a bit of searching to figure how they were doing it, I haven't got that far yet but I did find multitwitch.tv Here is a sample of mine, DC's, Jag's, and Jesse's streams on one page http://multitwitch.tv/justhatched93/DavidCore89/LV_Jag/domesticjesse/ Anyone can do this, simple go to mutlitwitch.tv then add the names of each stream you want to view with a / mark between them.

Torrid & I just got back from a weekend in Los Angeles/Santa Monica. We went to see the Griffith Observatory, Santa Monica Pier, and Venice Beach. It was really cool. It was amazing to see how much detail Rockstar put into the video game. Obviously there are some difference, but for the most part, it's almost spot on. Pics will be in spoiler tags for those of you not on a computer. These are not all of my pictures. I took about 287 pictures and quite a chunk of those are family pictures. I'm just sharing some of my favorites. Hollywood sign as seen from Griffith Park. Some pictures from the observatory: Santa Monica (Del Perro):

Personally I love telling stories. Whether they be serious or funny I always like to hear the experiences other people have had. It brings a certain human element to internet folk. I shall begin with one of my best... The Fireworks story... One of my two friends in high school we all called "Shrek" because he was a big, mean son of a bitch. Him and I were a couple of natural born trouble makers, Him blatant, me behind the scenes who was was never suspected. Our back story would take a books worth of text to tell, so I'll get on with it. One night about 1am I get the genius idea to scare the hell out of him. So I pile myself, my sister, her father, and a mutual friend…

What is the meaning of life?
by ScottyB- 19 replies
- 1.5k views
What, to you, is the meaning of life? I guess this age old question is impossible to answer, but I'm sure that in all your years spent on this planet that you have thought about it, and hopefully come up with some answers. I am not religious, but I am open to the idea of a higher power. Until I actually experience something in front of me, or have hard evidence, I will find it hard to believe which means I am left all on my lonesome to discover what it's all about. At the end of it all, it seems rather pointless if you just cease to exist.. It would make sense that something else happens but as I said, i can't just believe, unless I can experience it for myself. That …

1. What do you do and do you enjoy your job? If so why? 2. Do you run your own business (or have you)? Do you do this by yourself or with a partner? How do you stay motivated to do it? 3. Assuming most people work for someone else, have you ever consider running your own business? Why or why not? My answers; 1. I am a carpenter and have studied further to become a builder so I can run construction sites. It has its moments as with any job. But more and more I am wondering if I am on the right path or if there is something better. 2. Yes (currently) and by myself. I am struggling with motivation at the moment.

I guess most people have heard of the quietest place on earth: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/earths-quietest-place-will-drive-you-crazy-in-45-minutes-180948160/?no-ist Apparently when the chamber is dark nobody has ever lasted more than 45 minutes, light enables the ears to adjust to the silence and pressure, thus enabling people to stay in the chamber for over an hour without becoming claustrophobic. It's 99.99% sound absorbent, holds the Guinness World Record as the quietest place on earth at a mind-numbing -9.4 dBA, the silence becomes unbearable and you can even hear your lungs filling with air. It's also possible to start hallucinating if you s…

The Hater: Taunted and teased as a child for the gaming hobby, this gamer grows up resentful and would rather not leave his or her gaming dungeon (comfort) and be forced to interact with other people. This gamer may see the world as one giant joke, is well-aware of its hypocrisy, and is well-informed about examples. He or she is thrilled when around people that feel the same, or at least share their very specific likes/genre/series. While not necessarily close-minded when it comes to games, they feel most at home with a specific brand and system. Tough to penetrate the defenses, but haters can be some of the most loyal friends.

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
