Haha, I guess we are the emotional guys around this forum lol

Anyways, the whole series is great, the battle scenes are some of the best I\'ve seen!

You wimps! The only time I cried involving bad of brothers is when I had to by it again and again because my first two DvD sets got legs and never came back when I lent them out, then I had to get it on Blu-Ray!

Crying at a TV show.... you are all a bunch of wimps!

The ONLY acceptable show to cry at is Star Trek II when Kirk is giving the Eulogy at Spocks service. You dummies.

\"Of all the souls in the universe.... his was the most.... human.\"

Strong stuff. -sniff- I gotta go.... I, ah, got some dirt in my eye or somethin\'.

I can\'t really watch it while I paint, I have to look at the model all the time, if I start looking at the screen I forget to paint and all the paint will dry up on my pallete lol

I have a playlist with a ton of soundtrack music, not with text or anything, just music, like the Halo soundtrack, Metal Gear Solid, Dawn of War and LoTR.. Gotta have it on so loud that the neighbours get mad lol

What?! Canadians can\'t use Pandora? Why?

Now I\'m mad!

That damn music industry is evil. I remember hearing something about how they wanted to raise the fees for playing the music so much that it would have bankrupted Pandora and many other online stations. Was it something along those lines or because of international reasons?

Pandora got licences for all the music they play but it was American Licences. From what I understand you can only hear it in the US. If logging on from anywhere else you get this:

\"We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S\"

Pisses me off to no end, I loved Pandora. I missed it the most around the holidays, we had it on almost 24/7 around Xmas.

For me it\'s mostly instrumental jazz or classical. Movie soundtracks are cool, right now working my way through the Battlestar Galactica soundtracks...nice drumlines.

Thwack some Megadeth on and drift into a painting coma. I may switch to a learn French CD soon so that I can go over to the continent and work with some companies that I love.

Movies are good (commentaries some of the time). Watching TV shows you\'re familiar with is good too. I\'m watching Lost Season 3 right away, but I can\'t do it while painting, you need to pay too much attention the first time through!

Also just hanging out with 1-3 gamer buddies around a table with a couple dozen paints and lamps is a good way to go. Might not be as efficient as when you get \"in the zone\" at home, but it\'s a lot more fun and you can spend entire days doing this, where you might get bored after a couple hours at home.

And see, I like this too, but this almost ALWAYS degenerates into a drunken Rock Band session, or head off to the bar to Karaoke (Freebird!). What can you do?
