    - I don't think that under the circumstances it makes her a shitty person. What it does do is put an ongoing relationship with guy 1 at risk and - pmb Oct 14, 15:02
    - if commitment has never come up in conversation, and she wants to go, I say she should go. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 15:00 16

    - nm, I misunderstood the question. -- nm - spamlet Oct 14, 14:57

Did anyone mention that The Talking Dead had 5.1 million viewers? That's found money. - David Oct 14, 13:41 17
- yep. That's why some shows are doing it now...like Sons of Anarchy, Falling Skies as well -- nm - Remlik Oct 14, 13:58 14
  - But its limited - eag Oct 14, 14:11 13
    - never say never. But I could see them directing people to ABC.COM for Talking Lost. -- nm - Remlik Oct 14, 14:33 1
      - Its "Still Lost" - eag Oct 14, 14:35
    - I disagree. Lost is a perfect example of a show that could have worked with this format. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:17 8
      - this would have been a fascinating show. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 14:25
      - Any of the strategy based reality shows as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:21 2
        
        That's a really good point. Survivor has been doing this show for over a decade now. It only happens twice a year, though. -- nm - David Oct 14, 14:31 1
        
        "Tonight on Surviving Survivor, we welcome Jim Van Nest. Jim, what do you think is the most important lesson of the show so far?" - Will Hunting Oct 14, 14:39

        You call the show Still Lost - eag Oct 14, 14:27 1
        
        there it is. well done eag. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 14:29
    - probably not, but I can't say never. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 14:12 1
      - What you could see is a network put that kind of a show on one of its sister cable channels. -- nm - eag Oct 14, 14:17
- darn. outside the demographics again. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 14, 13:55
- yup, likely they don't pay the guests anything (other than the host) so it is all gratis less the set costs (which would be minor) -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 13:52
Walking Dead ideas (spoils) - CQ Oct 14, 13:39 8
- Question (spoilers) - amoxy Oct 14, 14:08 2

- The hypocrisy of the situation: 50 Shades of Grey remains a top seller. -- nm - David Oct 14, 13:28 2
  - Which not only debut as a self-published erotica, but goddamn Twilight fan-fiction as well. -- nm - Qale Oct 14, 13:34 1
    - and Twilight is only a half tick above stuff published erotica itself. -- nm - Reagen Oct 14, 14:54
- My novels are still available on Amazon for your Kindle. I'm probably being passed over because I have them classified as Gay Fiction, not Erotica. - Qale Oct 14, 13:26 8
  - NaNoWriMo some straight up hardcore next time. -- nm - colin Oct 14, 13:27 1
    - I've strongly considered it post T-Rex pr0ns success. -- nm - Qale Oct 14, 13:50
  - Obligatory link so you can more easily purchase my wares. -- (link) - Qale Oct 14, 13:27 5
    - Currently unavailable. :-( - Krusty Oct 14, 13:36 2
      - That's via the Slackershop. It's still listed on the site itself. Though, granted, I haven't tried to buy it. -- nm - Qale Oct 14, 13:38 1
        
        They show as "live" on my Amazon Publishing Dashboard as well. -- nm - Qale Oct 14, 13:41
    - Lulu still has up all the physical copies as well. So... so far, so good. -- (link) - Qale Oct 14, 13:32 1
      - Kobo, as mentioned in the story, only has the unauthorized e-book version of Pixiesticks, I've tried without success to get iUniverse to cease/desist. -- nm - Qale Oct 14, 13:36
Speaking of zombies, has anyone played State of Decay yet? An open world zombie game sounds intriguing. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 13:13 15
- Yup. Played the sh*t out of that game. Only GTAV has pulled away from it. - Jovian Oct 14, 13:26 2
  - loved State of Decay. really fun and engaging stories I thought -- nm - Remlik Oct 14, 14:34
  - Good to hear. I'm going to check it out shortly. -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 13:38
- I'll stick with Day Z :) -- nm - colin Oct 14, 13:20 2
  - Do you play it? Is it good? I've been very interested in it for a while but I read mixed reviews. - Krusty Oct 14, 13:22 1
    - Played a little bit.. it's good. The standalone had a lot of issues in alpha.. but it was alpha.. not sure when it's coming out. -- nm - colin Oct 14, 13:24
- I am drawing a blank. What is the Zombie game, 4 survivors, there is a 1 and 2 - amoxy Oct 14, 13:19 4

        5 confusing 9 u? -- nm - colin Oct 14, 13:24
- they had a preview of the new Dead Rising game, and that looks like fun. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 13:17 1
  - I saw it and it does. I was looking at deals on Steam and saw State of Decay. From what I've seen it looks good. I wanted to get Arma 2 Day Z - Krusty Oct 14, 13:20

  - I was about to get for the PC but I think I'll get it for the Xbox so I can play on the bigger screen. :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 14, 13:18

    - how would Jenny know that? -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 13:15 15
      - did you see she's most likely getting fired from the View ? -- nm - decline Oct 14, 13:15 14
        
        wha hoppened? -- nm - Diva Oct 14, 13:17 12
        
        From what I've read it's that people just don't like her -- nm - decline Oct 14, 13:22 11
        
        which people? the hosts, or the audience? nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 13:23 10
        
        the audience -- (link) - decline Oct 14, 13:25 7
        
        I guess they just want cackling hens on the show. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 13:28 6
        
        Maybe, but Jenny brings her own negatives in a lot of people's eyes as we noted last week. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 13:32 3
        
        Sure, I was also surprised at that hiring as well. - groiny Oct 14, 13:34 2
        
        Oh, i'm not saying she is 100% unqualified...just that they might be surprised by how the actual reception - Will Hunting Oct 14, 13:38 1
        
        she did a couple guest host spots for like a week, before they hired her full time. - groiny Oct 14, 13:44
        
        well it is Barbara Walters -- nm - decline Oct 14, 13:29 1
        
        does she not just do like only a small % of the shows though? - groiny Oct 14, 13:30
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        the studio audience seems to like her from the ones I have watched. - groiny Oct 14, 13:26
        
        no, I did not see that. Although, I do not imagine she would put that on her Facebook page. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 14, 13:16
and I hate to admit it but, Ribisi screaming through the commercial was pretty funny. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 13:10 5
- ooh... maybe we should watch. - Diva Oct 14, 13:16 4
  - It can't be good. - Mel Profit Oct 14, 13:23 3
    - you should leave work as early as possible. -- nm - Diva Oct 14, 13:37 2
      - working on it. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 14, 13:45 1

  - I'm having trouble liking his version of Super Bon Bon more but the rest, I think, are better... - Mel Profit Oct 14, 13:22 2
    - He's not scheduled to be here yet, but I'm hoping he'll get back. I saw him like a year and a half ago so it hasn't been all that long. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 14, 13:26 1
      - if I see any dates near you in the future I'll holler. I'll report in on the show next week. - Mel Profit Oct 14, 13:28
