Looks nice. I don't post any pics of my vape-related ideas since I've seen someone else get in trouble "for trying to sell things as an unregistered supplier." She blew some glass tanks, posted them as a 'look what I made for myself' & a couple people asked some questions about them. She never tried to sell them or even insinuate that she would, but it still earned her the dreaded asterisk of death. Silly, but I just won't toe that line because of it.

I hadn't even thought about that. I guess I won't post any more pics then.

:cry:

It is a very rare instance where someone gets tagged as such and these situations are looked into very deeply prior to an infraction bein' issued, yes mistakes could always have been made and it could be reviewed...

That said pics, of members custom mods are very much welcomed as we all enjoy seein' someones creativity :)

I post mine all the time :D

I can't stand that show. Too nerdy. ;) :)

I just picked up some ecto - waiting on it.

Are you over there drawing in the dirt with Butch? :D

I love that show too. Sheldon makes me look somewhat normal. Sort of. :D :D

That's what I thought too, but I saw it happen & I'm not about to take the risk. It was kind of a ridiculous situation, but it happened & weeks later she still bears the scarlet asterisk for all to see. Anyhow, I'm sorry for bringing it up, but I thought I'd at least comment on Amiaji's nice picture & why I won't post one in return.

Morning allayas.. happy Monday

less than 12 hours since my last post and still hadda catch up - tho to be honest.. I do tend to skim by the mods.. rebuilds.. and such

Good morning's everbody. Bein' the redheaded stepchild here, vaping non MBV coffee, on one of my 2 dozen or so Volt X2s, in a plain old carto. :blink:

*goes to sit with Butch carrying my lovely selection of X2s with various delivery thingees on top*
Yep.. I'm good with a basic stick battery too.. but I do like to see my juice so I use some variety of clearo. Love the vape from the new top coil things.. not thrilled that I can't change a coil without dumping my juice first.. could just swap bottoms on the T3s with juice in the tank.. not so with these new ones.. found out the hard way.. lost some of my precious cafe coffee in the process.

So, Butch.. are you a one color battery guy or do you have a color array going like me? Lots of rainbow batteries here but a good variety of plain colors too.

Yeah, the Big Bang episodes were pretty good.

Formula continues to be all over the place, lol... I don't think he's using Joss' formula or anyone else's, because the only eps that actually *deal* with the Big Plot are the finales... and that's my problem with it. If DW had a season like US shows - 22 eps, one every week - then it might work okay (although the whole "episodes full of hints but the actual big plot doesn't get dealt with, but nor does any individual ep have plot, because it's all just a vehicle for hinting around and misdirection" thing would still be annoying), but 13 eps spread out over 12-15 months with a 3-5 month break in the *middle* of the season just means I'm ready to put my hands around Moffat's *neck* by the time he does his "big reveal".

He annoyed me all over again with Matt's regen ep because he dredged up every idea he's ever had and reran them *again* (hardly for the first time), so it felt like the "isn't Moffat clever" episode instead of Matt's last hurrah. I know RTD did that too, but RTD was *also* leaving, for starters, so he needed to tie everything up and leave Moffat with a clean slate... and secondly, The End of Time *did* have a plot of its own, whereas Matt's last ep suffered from the usual problem of "oh my god, now I have an entire season's worth of hinting to explain, ack, not enough time, oh god, and a plot, where's a plot, that'll do, not much time for plot anyway so no one will notice." It's a real shame, because he could easily have just built on the previous ep and the anniversary ep and had something really good... but that wouldn't have left room to cram in every idea that's ever passed through his brain, and god forbid he not have time for his usual vanity exercise.

Oddly enough, Matt's best overall season was probably the one where Moffat decided that every episode had to be "An American Hollywood Blockbuster!!" (a direct quote from his now defunct Twitter feed)... the plots didn't always work, and the "everything is an action movie!!" concept got tedious, but at least almost every episode *had* a plot that made some kind of logical sense.

I quite like overarching plots, done well. Moffat's just one of those writers who can't do them well because he can't self-edit... entire seasons to work with gives him far too much rope, which he promptly uses to hang himself.

I'm hoping and praying that having something fresh to put Capaldi into (per the end of the anniversary ep) puts an end to all of this "I have a plot, but it's a secret, you see my secret plot that's a secret? Here's a clue that no one is going to explain or make reference to for the next 12 months, but I'm going to wave it in your face from now till then..." stuff. But it's Moffat, so I'm sure he'll find a way to irritate me.

Russell T Davies was far from perfect, but his stuff is always enjoyable to watch, from the original QaF to Who to his newer projects.

The overarching plot is one of the reasons why I got into Supernatural.. The first five seasons had the Monster of the Week, a season long overarch, and then those tied into a five-season long finale that wrapped everything up (the creator of the show intended it to be 5 seasons only). After season 5 it went downhill a bit because they lost some direction. I still get a kick out of it even though it is a tad stupid at times. The guys who plays Dean and Cass crack me up and I love the choices of music (and cars). :p I think this one is coming to an end soon if they can't breathe some life back into it though. Season 6 through 9 has been largely hit or miss.

The Walking Dead is good, but it's hard for me to watch. It's like a depressive's wildest dreams come true. Every single episode is a bummer. lol.

Hopefully I will be finished with Season 6 of Doctor Who by the end of the week. I heard the Cybermen received a make-over for the 2013 Christmas special. I want to see it but can't watch it out of order (I'm OCD that way).
