Last web series/tv show seen
Time

Watched Bite Me on YouTube, a zombie/comedy series where the survivors are gamers. Not bad. Also watching another one from the UK called Zomblogalypse which is even funnier.

JEDIT: Nick Frost's Danger! 50,000 Zombies! was worth a chuckle or three as well. Does anyone have recommendations for good zombie web series? (They don't have to be comedy).

2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games
Time

Is it always winter in the country that holds the Winter Olympics when it is held, or can a country with snow hold the Winter Olympics in their summer? Is the designation based on the season in the host country, the northern hemisphere... Greece? Do places that have winter sports as their main sports call the Winter Olympics the Olympics and the Olympics the Summer Olympics? This is all too confusing. They should just call them the Hot Olympics and the Cold Olympics.

the bean eating scene in "Blazing Saddles". You can't not laugh at that, IMHO.

Let me be the first to assure you it is possible :p

Turns out I have a disorder called misophonia which literally means "hatred of sound". A couple of my triggers are barking dogs and crickets and these things can infuriate me in movies or games almost as much as they do in real life. (I was kind of relieved to discover that it was an actual thing after thinking I was just going mental for the last ten years or so. Another name for it is "selective sound sensitivity" which I even came up with on my own and then dismissed because it sounded so made up).

Also, I'm not scared of the dark, but I am scared of the dark in video games. Scary movies are no problem, but when I'm in control and my dude's flare is going out or whatever... zoinks! Some games are just too scary for me unless someone else is in the room. I quit Silent Hill, Doom 3, STALKER and a couple of others because they freaked me the hell out. I even freak out if Lara Croft has to swim in the dark. You'd have hated it bkev. There were rats. Big ones.
