Well, a college studio control room and like one trip to a news room in I think Lufkin, TX that was probably sanitized for students. But I imagine real newsrooms would have MORE tension, not less, so that's where I'm getting this notion from ...

I do love a good Sorkin monologue as well.

And I know about the HBO thing, but DVDs and such aren't really happening, as I'm planning on going for a Master's, and don't exactly have any winning lottery tickets lying around. lol

Good deal.

Yeah, I saw the recent episode of Rap Critic, too. I admit, I liked that Ja Rule song, but I never paid attention to the lyrics.

I'd argue real newsrooms can get pretty hectic, it's just that in those times it's probably more along the lines of the beginning of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (not because of zombies, just the general tense atmosphere in the control room), and people are way too mad to let a full-on Sorkin-written monologue go on unchecked by anyone in the room. At least, my experiences as a Radio/Television undergrad would have suggested that; not an all the time thing, but hot heads are hot heads.

Still, as unrealistic as it is compared to the way people actually talk, I loved watching the first episode on Youtube a while back; wish I had HBO, as I'm too paranoid to download anything. I've heard Game of Thrones is awesome as well, for different reasons, obviously.

"Ariel" was great.

Going to pretend you mean the headbutting French soccer player for my own amusement and say that I am most like Salem the cat from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. They had to have video games made of that shit when TGIF was popular, right?

I could have sworn I heard it was only one-half a metric fuck ton uglier, but I've never played it. Probably misremembering.

I certainly hope all goes well for you with the visit tomorrow! And I love Super Mario Sunshine, it's pretty much the #1 game I want to buy for my Gamecube at this point, so I'm glad someone else likes it, too. It did get good critical reception, but public opinion hasn't always been so kind. It's actually my favorite Mario game, as far as I know, and I grew up with NES and SNES in the household, and Mario 1 and Super Mario World, and I've played 2,3, and 64.

I can't really help you there. I'd say find out if you can easily uninstall it first, and if so, go for it. Otherwise, no idea. I'm sure you'll get more help from others more familiar with this generation, though. Like Travis, for example.

Dr. Octopus, cause Solidus reminded me of him a bit. Great drawings.
