Clear!

I was asked by someone have I spoken with the old "partners" at all. Simple answer is no. But it's more than just that simple. I need to put a disclaimer on it.

I haven't but learned to never say never so will not say I would never speak with them again. Who knows what the future holds? The channel community that sparked it off died years ago. It was fun while it lasted before the things that went wrong with TechTV (first time in years I didn't call it the Titanic). The things that included the dark side of some on-air peeps showed themselves among others. Of course the brightest spot in that arena has her own show on CNN Headline and everyone should know who that is so she can still be seen on the television. Those who hit the dark side... well, pretty much hard to find nowadays. And time has moved on.

I was asked if I'd ever go back to the 1.0 stuff. Nah, I don't think so. It was stressful at times. Why would I go back to that when I would be subject to "I don't like what you did with my character so can you remove?" then when the character was not seen in the next installment get from the same person "why was my character gone?" That was the beginning of the end of 1.0. Would I say blame Laura Burstein completely? No, because Louie Laporte was even a bigger PITA which is sort of hard to believe. But I will never call him by his real first name anymore because he does not deserve that kind of respect.

As for the "community", I have no ill and will leave it there.

G4 isn't quite the same but then again it is. It's not what TechTV was when it was really good in the heyday. G4 is closer to what the shell of it became near the days of TechTV's end. Fluff with a little bit of tech thrown in. And on a system with over 100 channels of fluff to choose from, it doesn't stand out enough to make me more interested in it than say Oxygen (another channel that gets no TiVo love).

Speaking of channels getting some TiVo time, SciFi gets more time even when BSG is on hiatus. Although, I'm waiting more for this coming season than any before and it's not only because that crazy gal with the sense of humor Keegan Connor-Tracy will be seen. (KCT, update the site... one time! heh. Seriously, needs to mention to catch you on BSG there.) SciFi gets time because I did put Who Wants to be a Super-hero? (apparently, the recent winner is a City of Heroes/City of Villains player), Jake 2.0 reruns, Andromeda reruns, as well as BSG. The reruns because I didn't have a TiVo when they were originally on. ;)

You know, I wonder something. Marvel sued Cryptic because of CoX, remember? Well, I wonder if the winner used a toon he made in CoX to be on Who Wants to be a Super-hero? I thought any character created in said game became the property of said game. So if Stan Lee makes the comic that the winner gets, I wonder if Cryptic can sue him if the toon was used in CoX first. Hmmm...
