There are certain phrases that appear more and more frequently for each season of the TV series 24. Why not make watching 24 with your friends a little more interesting?

Here is how the 24 Drinking Game works: Every time a character utters the words “within the hour” you take a shot of alcohol. These words are only used in the beginning of the episode, so unless you are watching multiple episodes in one go you’ll need some more rules. As the episode goes on the use of “in approximately 10 minutes”, “in 10 to 15 minutes” and similar becomes more frequent. Take a shot for each time you hear anything like that. To make it interesting you can challenge your friends to find other repeated patterns in the dialogue (which shouldn’t be that hard ). Also, take a double shot each time Jack Bauer tortures someone.

Death Note is one of those things that “everyone is talking about”. After seeing numerous topics about how people loved the Death Note anime on online discussion boards, a couple of weeks ago I decided to download the available fan subbed episodes to see what the hype was all about. (more…)

Yesterday Ayumi Hamasaki’s interview on Talk Asia on CNN was aired. It’s very interesting and Ayu talks English in some parts of the interview!

I got this file from jpopsuki (see link below). This file is smaller and has better quality than the BoA interview I posted earlier.

There’s no direct download this time since I’m running out of space. I’ll get more space in January. Again I’ve split the file into parts of about 50 MB. You’ll need WinRAR to extract the video file if you download it in parts.

The fastest way to get it is via the original torrent file, which I’m also seeding now.

Enjoy!

For all you guys who missed BoA’s interview on Talk Asia last weekend I have the pleasure of offering you to download it here. The video is in wmv format and since it’s almost 300 MB, I’ve split it into parts of about 50 MB. You’ll need WinRAR to extract the video file. I got this video from the jpopsuki tracker and I think it’s originally from boajjang, but I’m not sure.

The program is in English. The interviewer asks the questions in English and BoA answers in Korean, but when BoA talks there is a voice-over in English (like CNN always does). The sound is not the best, but it’s better than nothing

Please try one of the mirrors first! Otherwise I’ll run out of bandwidth really quick.

There’s a lot of good stuff on TV at the moment. By “on TV” I don’t mean Swedish TV, but stuff that’s available for download . The new season of Gilmore Girls has begun. The same goes for Battlestar Galactica. I watched the first two seasons not so long ago. A lot of people had talked about it at work so I decided to give it a try. Another series I like is the Unit.

Then there’s the Ultimate Fighter TV series which has become better since they reached the semi-finals. Now it’s more like the previous seasons where you get to see more of the training. There are also a lot of UFC and Pride events at the moment. There’s been one almost every week.

A series I started watching last weekend is Heroes. It seems interesting from what I’ve seen so far.

I started watching Hex, but I haven’t gotten into it. The pilot was good, but then, meh. I’m also watching the anime Bleach.

So, there are plenty of shows to watch, or as one of my colleagues would put it, waste my life on. In his opinion my whole life is a waste of time. He didn’t direct it to me, but he told me some things that he thought were “wasting your life” and it was like 90% of what I do on my spare time. Everything that isn’t renovating your house or polishing your boat is wasting your life according to him.

I’ve been following the Ultimate Fighter TV series since the start. I like to watch MMA (Pride and UFC) and the series has been good and entertaining. The fourth season is about fighters who have already fought in the UFC doing their comback by competing in the series. The coaches are (at the beginning of the season) Randy Couture and George St. Pierre.

I was really looking forward to seeing St. Pierre as a coach on the series, but in this season they are hardly showing the coaches or the training at all! Instead they’re showing clips from the fighters’ previous fights, which is interesting, but watching the coaches and the training process is 100x more interesting. I’m so bored with this season. It’s so much worse than the previous seasons, that were all good.

The fights in season 4 are very good, but that’s only a few minutes of the episode. I was definitely expecting more from this season. They tried something new and, in my opinion, it didn’t work.
