  3. @deirdrakiai Which is not meant to exclude the possibility that you'll hate it. Torchwood has never been a show that everybody likes. about 17 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to deirdrakiai
  4. @deirdrakiai If you skip to the ninth episode, and watch the ninth and tenth together, it'll be fine, really. about 17 hours ago via Twitter for Mac in reply to deirdrakiai
  5. I liked the last hour of Torchwood Miracle Day! I wish the first nine hours had been rewritten, preferably as three hours by someone else. about 18 hours ago via Twitter for Mac
  6. @JmacDotOrg Huh, didn't realize that was a rule. Thbpbpb on them. 8:19 AM May 21st via Twitter for Mac in reply to JmacDotOrg
  7. In topological Morris dancing, of course, they start out whacking each other with teacups and wind up with doughnuts. Linked, ideally. 12:00 PM May 20th via Twitter for iPad
  8. In Jedi Morris dancing... No, that must be on Youtube already. 11:20 AM May 20th via Echofon
  9. In four-dimensional Morris dancing, the crew holds onto a big sphere and they turn it inside out without creasing it. 11:05 AM May 20th via Echofon

  12. @classicaljunkie this would explain many things. Thanks. 11:49 AM May 19th via Echofon in reply to classicaljunkie
  13. Armenian labyrinth is still fenced off. And I seem to have missed the Morris dancers entirely. lockerz.com/s/210229783 11:04 AM May 19th via Echofon
  14. Dreamhold is in the iOS App Store review queue. Should take a week-ish. Now: celebratory dinner of figs, walnuts, and Gorgonzola Dolce. 4:38 PM May 18th via Twitter for Mac
  15. @dfjdejulio Uh, I haven't been completist about the genre since Silent Hill 3 or 4. Amnesia isn't that great, really. 3:37 PM May 18th via Twitter for Mac in reply to dfjdejulio
  16. Played *Dear Esther*, yay. gameshelf.jmac.org/2012/05/though… 2:51 PM May 18th via Twitter for Mac
  17. @acosmos And the nurses have bags sewn on their heads and the walls are made of knives... no, wait, that's Silent Hill. I think. 10:39 AM May 18th via Twitter for Mac in reply to acosmos
  18. One more finicky, horrible hack in the text-scrolling logic. Wasn't I complaining about this in early 2011? I'm sure I was. 11:28 PM May 16th via Twitter for Mac
