What in the bowels of Nurgle is this?
14 years ago
So my brother's watching TV in the living room, where I like to play videogames and post on forums and whatnot while listening to DVDs. And then, this commercial comes on, showing clips of real people trying to earn Darwin Awards. Turns about to be for a show called Tosh.0 or whatever.
And, um, I get a little upset internally when my Sisters of Battle start to get killed off in a tabletop game with static miniatures and dice. It was worse when I saw a fan video for Rogues Do It From Behind where a rogue went around killing helpless and beautiful female WoW characters in gruesome ways using machinima editing - I clicked off that video once I asked myself, "Why the feth am I watching this?"
But seriously... I'm glad I never watched the show before, and I tell ya what, I ain't got plans for watching it at any point in the future, either. Even my passing curiosity has been removed by the show's own commercial.
Dunno, maybe I'm overly sensitive to violence and gore. It really turns my stomach. Fantasy violence is fine, because it doesn't tend to be very gruesome - like in World of Warcraft, when my warrior starts slicing things up, there's no blood spatter or anything like that. And when things die, they just fall down, maybe with a stumbling animation, but the bodies remain intact and unbloodied.
