Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

So lets say there was something on Sunday night that I wanted to watch via stream, but didn't want to watch it on my tiny laptop screen, would there happen to be a way for me to stream via my PS3?

Why dont you just hook up your laptop to the television? You got a newer tv not too long ago right? It should have a port for input (hdmi, i think)- just check your laptop to see if you have an output port. If you dont have the cables you can pick some decent ones up for round $10-20.
 
Fun fact: I looked the song up, and it has the word "fuck" in it 48 times. You've got a lot of work to do, Justin.

I posted some rant a few years back, I think somebody counted around 35 "fucks"

Why the fuck is it when I watch normal TV I have to have the volume cranked way the fuck up to hear anything, then the second I switch over to my PS3 I need turn the volume way the fuck down?!

I've never tried streaming off my PS3 through the usual streaming channels, so I'm not 100% sure but a quick search says it has worked for people in the past....so I would go to your usual streaming site and give a link a try once to see if it works. Basically just keep hitting yes to install any plugins if it comes up. I'd try it now for your but I'm out of town until Friday evening.

Otherwise a VGA or HDMI cable to your TV would have to suffice.
 
Package arrives from Amazon this morning and I am all excited about it being Fifa 13 for the Wii U.

Instead, it is a book.

A book with the title Athansius and Constantius: Theology and Politics in the Constantinian Empire.

Sure, I ordered it and will be interested to read parts of it but it was definitely a let down from the alternative of spending the day getting massacred by the computer as I get to grips with Fifa.

I feel bad for the Amazon algorithm that has to try and come up with recommendations for you.

Book? Can you put it in your Wii U?

I know that feeling, though. I recently ordered a bunch of DVDs from Amazon and when I went to pick them up from my campus's post office I found that I only received half of them, and it was the half I was looking forward to less.

On the note of video games, Pancake and Yazloz got me into this game called Terreria last night. It's like Minecraft but it's a side scroller and has 16 bit graphics... and it's awesome. I have a feeling I'll be spending more than a few hours fooling around on that today.
 
I cannot wait. I'll have to DVR it (you know, 'Mania) -- but I'm tempted to just watch it live.

I'm hoping my parents have DVR so they can record Game of Thrones for me while I'm at Mania. That way I can watch it when I get home so long as I don't immediately pass out from an epic day of tailgating and professional wrestling.
 
:lmao:

Seriously though, WrestleMania -- how stoked are you?

It's still difficult to fathom. I can picture myself at the indy show on Friday, tailgating in the parking life of Metlife on Sunday afternoon... but I can't even begin to imagine the epicness that will unfold once I enter that stadium.

Where are your seats?

I expect a full write-up of the Liger/Morrison match. Forget Mania, I'm pissed you get to see Liger live.

Well, I could put it on my Wii U but I am not sure what that would accomplish.

It is a reasonably expensive book though. More expensive than Fifa 13... so I would not want to force it into the Wii U for fear of ruining it.

And I do not like electronic books.

Felt like it was Christmas morning running down the stairs for it this morning only to pick up the package and realise that it was too heavy to be a computer game.

Gutted, although most of my disappointment came from not having a "good" reason to not do some more writing this afternoon...

With the book on the Northern Crusades I have been reading recently, I have returned to one of my Medieval II Total War mods and started playing as the Teutonic Order on the hardest setting.

And by hardest, it basically means that your neighbouring factions basically go for all out attack against you, even if they were traditionally your allies or have the same religion/enemies. Only about 25 turns in but already I have fought numerous large scale battles against the Poles, Lithuanians and Russians (including killing the Russian Tsar) and six epic sieges - Hrodna against the Lithuanians, Hrodna again against the Poles where my Grand Master was killed, a third retaking Hrodna from the Poles, one at Riga against the Russians, and two at my capital Palanga against the Poles and Lithuanians. And this is before another of my rather unexplained enemies, the Danes, have been able to get an army into my lands. The way this is going, I am going to have to reach out to the likes of the Mongols for some help as my Holy Roman Imperial allies are too busy fighting the French (can't blame them really).

Total carnage.
 
Where are your seats?

Section 219, Row 14, seats 17-19.

I can only imagine the disappointment of having to read instead of play FIFA.

And I don't like e-books either.

That sounds awful, and wildly historically inaccurate. If only history was that awesome.

Actually, I am finding it rather enjoyable because it is hard and the more I read about the Northern Crusades, the more I am starting to think that my M2TW situation is more realistic than I thought. The Teutonic Knights spent most of their time fighting Prussians, Lithuanians, various other pagan tribes, and occasionally Novgorodian Russians and even Mongols on at least one occasion.

It is definitely tricky though. By the time I have built up an army that could challenge Danish, Polish or Lithuanian settlements, at least one of my enemies has done the same only a turn or two quicker and I am left defending my own settlements against yet another siege. The only real positive is that if either the Poles or the Danes attack me for long enough, the Pope sticks his nose in and threatens to excommunicate any further aggressors. If only I could get the Germans, Norwegians, Kievan Rus or even the Mongols to distract the Russians or Lithuanians so I can concentrate on the other and make some territorial gains.
 
So it's full blown job searching time as I graduate from college in one month, and my family is coming through big with contacts. My uncle in particular has hooked me up good, and apparently has been able to set up a meeting for me with James Burrows, a TV director that has directed episodes of Taxi, Frazier, Will and Grace, Mike and Molly, and even Friends. On top of that I can meet with an editor, and there are a few other people that could offer me jobs out there. That would be so much epic I don't know if my brain can handle it.

My mom, on the other hand, is really excited about the contact she hooked me up with. Sadly, it's a contact at the Bravo Network. For you non-Americans and folks not in the know, Bravo is the Network with about 20 different versions of "The Real Housewives," as well as several other shows that follow around faux-celebrities. I appreciate the gesture from my mom and all that, but I really don't think I'd be happy working at Bravo. A job is a job, but I don't really know if I could keep my lunch down if I had to PA an episode of The Real Housewives of New York.

Good old Pope, always making sure Germanic tribes aren't fucking each other up.

Can't you use one of your settlements as fodder so that while your enemy's main army moves on that you can attack them at one of their bigger cities?

The good thing about Bravo is that for some unfathomable reason, that network is fairly popular. It probably won't be something you'll love, but you can't really beat having a popular network on your resume.
