Legend of the Seeker
I haven’t said much about this show, but I have to admit that it is one of my favorites. This is my first time following a show that airs only in syndication, but I’m sure to catch every episode (DVR helps, of course). I haven’t read the book series the show is based on (The Sword of Truth), so I have the luxury of watching without criticizing, and maybe that’s part of my admiration. The cinematography is stunning and I like that the characters seem “real” in that they aren’t necessarily modelesque (though the 7th episode may challenge my notion on that front). If you find yourself with nothing to do this weekend, look the show up and give it a try.

I read this week that NBC is NOT going to show Merlin now, due to needing airtime to show more episodes of fat people trying to lose weight. Boo them. Not the fat people–NBC. For anyone wanting to see it, just let me know. :wink2:

In continuing my geekish fandom posts, I’m going to start posting my “Top 5” elements from various fandoms from now until the rest of year. I’d love to see if you share any of them! Check back soon! :elf:

  13. The iconic image of gamer is a teen in his bedroom.

    However, new research has found that in fact, it’s far more likely to be their parents, or even grandparents, blowing up aliens or solving puzzles.

    Researchers found the average US gamers is in fact now aged 43, married with children, and taking home $36k a year – while the over-70s are the group most likely to have more than ten downloaded to their phone.

    GAMING IN FIGURES 

    Texting (78 per cent), calls (67 per cent) and taking photos (32 per
    cent) emerged as the top uses for cells, but playing games (30 per cent) beat
    social media (27 per cent), email (23 per cent) and listening to music (13 per cent).

    Most people (34 per cent) play seven days a week, with puzzle-solving the most popular genre, followed by action, social, quiz and sports.

    The bedroom is the most popular location for mobile gaming (68 per cent), ahead of the bathroom (53 per cent)
    and the workplace (39 per cent). 

    The poll of 1,000 US mobile gamers by GuruArcade.com also found what phones are being used for.

    The average player has four games on their mobile phone and will spend
    a little over a half an hour a day, four days a week, trying to improve their highest score on their favorite gaming app.

    One in seven spends over ten hours each week with their
    eyes glued to their phones playing a game.

    It also emerged that casual gamers typically download
    two new gaming apps on their device each month.

    Sam Cross of Guru Arcade, makers of mobile game Pop Rocket
    Rescue, said: ‘You can play a mobile game anytime, anywhere,
    since smartphones are so portable.

    Forty-one percent of people have played a mobile game for
    up to three hours in one sitting.

    TEN BIGGEST SELLING GAMES 

    1. Candy Crush Saga

    2. Angry Birds

    3. Words with Friends

    4. Clash of Clans

    5. Plants vs. Zombies

    ‘Mobile games are designed to be played in small chunks of time,
    while waiting or taking a break. It’s bite-sized fun.’

    The average person is most likely to play a mobile game between 1pm
    and 2pm, although one in five plays ‘any time’ of the day and one
    in eight prefers to play between the hours of 9pm and midnight.

    Forty-one percent have played a mobile game for up to three hours in one sitting.

    Eighty-one percent can’t resist the fun these games provide and 42 percent play because it’s exercise for the brain –
    but their fun can sometimes mean ‘game over’ in a different sense.

    From getting fired from work, to arriving late
    or completely missing an event, 27 per cent confess that their mobile
    game playing has gotten them into trouble. 

    In the UK, an Ofcom study recently found 16 per cent of adults now exclusively use smartphones or tablets
    to go online, a 10 per cent increase on last year.

    AMERICA’S INTERNET ADDICTION 

    One-fifth of all Americans reported to being on the internet
    ‘almost constantly’, with young adults making up the largest percentage of this category.

    The majority of Americans – 73 per cent – indicated that
    they go online on a daily basis, and many go on several times per day.

    A Pew Research Center survey collected data from internet users between June and July 2015, and confirmed
    that Americans are constantly logging in.

    Young people are the most connected; the study found that 36 per cent
    of people ages 18 to 29 are online almost constantly, and 50 per cent go on several times per
    day.

    Teens and adults were found to share similar internet habits, with 24 percent of teenagers reporting almost constant use, and adults coming in at a similar figure.  

    The study also found half of adults (51 per cent) who use search
    engines do not realise the top items on many results pages are
    adverts or sponsored links. 

    The figures are from Ofcom’s Adults’ Media Use And Attitudes Report. 

    ‘This indicates these devices are not just supplementing PCs
    and laptops, but are starting to replace them,’ the regulator said.

    ‘There is a need for people to be more aware or
    savvy about the content they are accessing online’.

  14. AP Interview: Wade ready for his Chicago challenge
    By ASSOCIATED PRESS

    Published: 23:38 GMT, 25 September 2016 | Updated: 23:38 GMT,
    25 September 2016

    e-mail

    MIAMI (AP) — It’s not like Dwyane Wade has never dealt with change before.

    He played for three head coaches in 13 seasons with the Miami Heat, helped orchestrate one of
    the most scrutinized free-agent hauls in NBA history when LeBron James and Chris Bosh came to play alongside him, and had 112
    teammates along the way.

    So going into a new locker room doesn’t figure to overwhelm him.

    Wade’s first official day of work with an NBA team other than Miami comes on Monday,
    when he goes to media day on the eve of his first training camp with the Chicago
    Bulls — the team he grew up rooting for, a club he has faced off against 64 times as an opponent and now the franchise he’ll be asked to help lead.

    “It’s going to be difficult, 100 percent. I’m fine with it, though,” Wade said in an interview
    with The Associated Press. “For me, it goes back to the whole challenge thing. It’s not like I haven’t done this before. At the end of the day we’re all wearing the same jersey right now and we have to come together, just like any team. And that’s going to be tough.”

    Wade left Miami this summer in a move that shocked the Heat.
    He took a two-year deal worth about $47 million from the Bulls,
    who came in offering a bit more than what the Heat were
    able to promise. He leaves Miami as one of two players who were on all three Heat championship teams — Udonis Haslem is
    the other — and as the franchise leader in points by an enormous margin.

    But now he changes addresses, changes colors and in many ways is starting over.
    So are the Heat, who won’t have him and will go into the season without Bosh — still sidelined by the blood-clot
    problem that ended each of his last two seasons, an issue that now seems to be
    putting any plans he has for a return to the court in major jeopardy.

    Wade said he still wants the very best for Bosh. He’ll just
    have to send those wishes from afar now, while he gets ready to embrace his
    own challenge of meshing with Jimmy Butler, Rajon Rondo and the rest
    of the Bulls.

    “When I don’t have anything else left to prove, then I don’t need to play the game of basketball,” Wade said.
    “I want to prove I’m out of my comfort zone. I’m in a totally different environment, a totally different system. This is a challenge for me, at this stage of my career. Leave it up to me to put myself in a challenge and not just fade to black in the comfortableness of Miami.”

    Wade turns 35 in January, and answered plenty of questions about his supposed durability issues last year.
    He played in 74 games for Miami, got lighter and leaner to take pressure off his knees and hamstrings, averaged 19 points a game and was an All-Star for the 12th
    consecutive season.

    He’s not the Wade who led the league in scoring in 2009, or was NBA Finals MVP in 2006.

    He does, however, think he’s smarter than ever.

    “There’s no risk for me,” Wade said. “It’s basketball. It’s just a sport, man. And I’m pretty good at it. I know the game and I’ve put in so much work in this sport, everything right now is just the cherry on top of the whipped cream.”

  20. Russell Crowe has vehemently denied reports on Monday that his reported $20million stake in the
    South Sydney Rabbitohs was up for sale.

    In fact, the Hollywood superstar, who has had an interest in the club
    since he bought a share for $3million alongside
    businessman Peter Holmes à Court in 2006, branded the reports ‘bulls***’.

    Crowe, 60, advised journalists that the rumours swirling
    on the internet that he could look to off-load his 25 per cent share were not true.

    He even went as far as telling reporters to go and ‘enjoy the summer sun’ instead
    of speculating on the narrative.

    Taking to X, Crowe added: ‘Re: SSFC [South Sydney Football Club].
    What would January in Australia be without desperate legacy media conspiracy theories?

    ‘Enjoy the summer sun while it’s there and ignore the trolls.
    WB [coach Wayne Bennett] is back on board. A fresh energy about the place.
    An arrowhead on our intentions.’

    Russell Crowe has branded rumours he wants to sell his stake in the South Sydney Rabbitohs as ‘bulls***’

    Crowe (left) acquired the club back in 2006 alongside Peter Holmes à Court
    (right) 

    The Rabbitohs have declined to comment on the matter.

    Since his investment in the club 19 years ago, Crowe has become a key feature of the
    furniture at Stadium Australia and has always worn his heart on his sleeve.

    But it seems one bombshell report from nearly 12 years ago could
    have been at the heart of the speculation over his future with the Rabbitohs.

    In 2012, ABC News claimed that the Rabbitohs had confirmed
    that Crowe had indicated that he wished to sell his part-stake in the team.

    Rabbitohs chairman Nick Pappas and then-chief exec
    Shane Richardson spoke to ease fan concerns over the stability of the club after Crowe’s announcement.

    They added that it was Crowe’s decision was a ‘personal’ one
    and that there was an understanding that the actor would find
    a buyer to replace him.

    He later spoke out on the decision to sell his shares in the club, which back then sat at 37.5 per cent, claiming that he wanted to spend more time
    with his family.

    ‘It’s pretty simple, I have to make more time for my family,’ he said to Fox League.

    ‘I have loved the responsibility of bringing South Sydney back
    to being a competitive force.’

    The Hollywood actor (right), posing for a picture with Aussie Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (left), had in fact looked
    to sell his shares back in 2012

    While he had claimed that the decision was because he wanted to spend more time
    with his family, he ultimately doubled back on that decision

    But the Gladiator star would make a U-turn on his plans,
    instead changing his mind and opting to stay on as
    a part shareholder.

    He now owns a quarter of the footy club alongside former Crown Resorts chairman James Packer and
    Mike Cannon-Brookes, a technology entrepreneur.

    The final share is distributed among Souths’ members.

    Under their leadership, the Souths ended a 43-year wait for a premiership back
    in 2014 and are now also financially stable.

    That comes after the club fell on hard times in the 90s, ultimately being booted from the NRL in 1999.

    Crowe and Packer also had notably waived a $7million debt back in 2016, according to AAP, giving the club more financial security.

    While the Bunnies are yet to repeat their feats of 2014 and end a now 11-year wait
    for a premiership, the appointment of new boss Wayne Bennett
    will certainly help the Rabbitohs spin their fortunes around following their 16th-place finish in the NRL last season.

    my thoughts out there. I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
