TV Tropes
« on: August 01, 2009, 05:24:17 PM »
Hi,

I just found this site: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage

And while it's heavily text-loaded, I just got deeply lost in it. Currently I'm reding Translation Convention And I got there via Eternal English  -> Aliens Speaking English -> Translator Microbes -> Translation Convention.

I haven't started other categories yet, but it's and interesting read.

Great, as if Wikipedia isn't a time-stealer enough  :laugh:

Of what I have seen so far, it looks like fun to go through.

It's horrible, I have currently 20 tabs open with topics I want to read.

Currently I am at Spotlight Stealing Squad and came from Ensemble Darkhorse

Got there via TVTropes:
Wil Wheaton's blog where he reviews old TNG episodes. Take a look at "The Battle". Especially the part "Behind the Scenes Memory".

I just wasted 5 hours on that thing.. Doesn't help that the subject matter is actually interesting, and it covers 4 of my passions: Film, TV Shows, Video Games and Music!

I am glad now that I opened it and when I realized that it seemed incredibly interesting I closed it instantaneously! :laugh:

It's a dangerous site... way too interesting. I still haven't dared visit it a second time.
