TV Settings
► I spent the weekend test running my new TV by watching some DVDs. A couple of the movies looked fantastic, which a few others looked really splotchy and full of blurred artifacts. Another problem I found was that despite most of the DVDs being "anamorphic widescreen", they weren't fitting the TV's 16:9 dimensions properly, and the image was being stretched and scrunched.
It wasn't until this morning that I browsed online and discovered that I have to adjust the settings to my DVD player to let it know that it's now connected to a 16:9 widescreen television and not my old 4:3 box television. Luckily I managed to find out how to do that with some trail and error, and now the DVDs look much better.
► 9gag: Importance of Oxford Comma - All this time I've used Oxford commas without realizing how damaging my sentences would have been without them.
► 9gag: An Abandoned Hotel - Now that's a pretty cool looking hotel.
► 9gag: Slenderman exists - So much for ever sleeping again...
► But Youre Like Really Pretty: But There’s Like Really a Ryan Gosling Body Pillow?! - Because women can be just as creepy as men.
► TPM: Republican Senate Nominee: Victims Of ‘Legitimate Rape’ Don’t Get Pregnant - Ignorant and insensitive remarks from a Republican discussing rape and women's rights? Colour me stunned.
► CBR Spinoff Online: Doctor Who Season 7: 5 Questions About What We Know So Far - I just hope it's good, and that it won't be a year and a half before the season/series 7 DVD set.
► YouTube: Games We Play - I did the "imagining the little man running and jumping along the road" thing on trips too. When I biked I also did the slalom thing if I was going down a street without any traffic.
