mistake...
I started watching 24 season 4...
ohhhh man. They have this shit down to an exact science. I am hoooooked. Everytime a baddie makes a evil glare at someone I scream "OH NO HE'S A DEAD MAN!"
Seriously, I'm going to pull an all nighter.
EDIT: My current favorite game to play is the "24 edit guessing game." Whenever they come back from commercial they split the tv into 4 panes, each showing a different scene. Then I guess which one they will cut to. At first it was just for fun, now I'm trying to be more analytical based on which plotlines haven't been fleshed out yet and what's more pertinent to the story.
More fun than watching the show itself! Lots of familiar arcs this season but enough changes to keep me guessing.
Yeah as I said, I have no life.
EDIT #2: So yeah the show can overly melodramatic at times but when shit goes down and the music cranks .... TOO GOOD. It's actually pretty savvy technology wise, they must have a software engineer advising them. An extremely GENIUS software engineer who never has made a programming error in his life. Cuz these guys whip up custom code at a moments notice and it's always incredibly optimized. How else can they regain control of nuclear power plants in a matter of seconds?
Anyways all the hi-tech gear on the show is great for the geeks. I spotted a bunch of Dell LCD's, microsoft wireless keyboards, silver HP keyboards (I want!), etc. The alienware laptop that the terrorists were using was a bit much tho. Why they would need a souped up gaming laptop is beyond me. Unless they were hooked on
World of Warcraft, or better yet,
Counter Strike. True story: I only started using microsoft money after seeing a guy hack into a suspected terrorist's computer to view his bank activity. Subsequently he was captured, tortured, and killed. :p
Talk about being a sucker for advertising...
