Got myself some new earphones and decided to try some more expensive ones for the last time for the better sound quality. If they don't last for at least a year (I always have bad luck with earphones in that one side always breaks internally), I'm going back to the cheapass things you can buy anywhere.

But the sound. The SOUND! I love you

Ugh, know what you mean. I lived off of two-for-a-pound earphones for a while, but the cable always ended up disconnecting somewhere and making me right-side paranoid.

I support your bravery!

I tried it once before, and the cable did the same thing at the right side. This is my last gamble, but so far I'm entranced by the wonderful sound coming from these things, straight into my ears cheers I love you

Guys, I'm wondering, is any of you a TWD (The Walking Dead) fan? Smile

I watched the first season on AMC and absolutely loved it. Haven't seen any more since, and I haven't read the comic.

I haven't seen The Walking Dead other than a few clips here and there, but I do enjoy zombie flicks.
I do, however, much prefer to see how the world goes to hell rather than follow a group of survivors in the aftermath.

I haven't seen The Walking Dead. A few years ago when I was unemployed and had to cancel my cable TV service, I got out of the habit of watching TV in general... even the Sci-Fi channel, which was mostly all I watched anyway. (I know... it's SyFy now. BFD.) But I avoided TWD because I heard it was more melodrama than action.

Zombieland was good, though. Comedy, action, survivors bonding instead of arguing/killing each other. Plus a Bill Murray cameo. How can you go wrong?

TWD is not about the action, it's about the characters dealing with the consequences of their decisions. The comics is absolutely amazing, the game is a masterpiece and the TV show is really fun to watch. It's not the classical zombie movie ... it's much more and I personally love it. To compare TWD to other zombie movies feels like comparing VTM to Underworld.

Is the series True Blood recommendable?
I saw positive statements about it, I tried to watch the first episode, but after the first Vampire shows his ridiculous fangs like a rabbit I
got my doubts.

I've seen the first three seasons of True Blood. I can recommend watching it for the lulz, but if you want something serious you'll need to look elsewhere.

Though I did learn one somewhat interesting thing from it. Apparently "brujah" is Spanish for "witch".

Or as the Ventrue would say, Brujah means witch without the W.

If tzimisce.net is to be belived:
Quote :

This may be either a rather strange spelling of a Yiddish word referring perhaps to a type of "carrot stew" or it may refer to the Byzantine Emperor John I Tzimisces.

The "carrot stew" version is reportedly from Mark Rein*Hagen himself, as communicated to me by Alyssa Gulledge. If accurate, I suspect it's related to the Yiddish/German "zermischen" which means something like "to mix up thoroughly" ("zer-" often indicates some destructiveness or violence in the action.) I've seen "tsemishe" (basically "zermische" using an English phonetic spelling) and related forms in a Yiddish reference with the base meaning of "mix up", and the extension to stew seems logical. The specification to carrots is possibly a narrowly distributed dialect feature or possibly even an idiolect feature related to the loss of the use of "zermischen" in a wider context, not an unusual occurrence among descendants of immigrants as the language of their forebears fades from everyday use. The pronunciation of "tsemishe" is much closer to stated pronunciations of "tzimisce" than the pronunciation that I would expect from the spelling of "tzimisce", leading me to wonder how this spelling came about and what its relationship to the epithet of a Byzantine emperor might be.

The Emperor's nickname is incidentally the anglicized spelling of the Byzantine Greek spelling of an Armenian nickname, which, according to a medieval Byzantine source, means "shorty" in Armenian. (Tzimisces and his family were of Armenian extraction.)

It could be a corruption of the surname Temsice. Like George Temsice; provost of Cassel. Mentioned in Saint Sir Thomas More's "Utopia"

And la Sombra is shadow in Spanish.

Giovanni is John in English...
Full source: http://www.tzimisce.net/whitewolfword.php

Ethymology of some Clans, Auspices etc is really hilarious. For example, Inconnu is kind of oily freshwater fish...
I guess I wouldn't go out of my way to bring that fact to Vlad Tepes' attention.

Giovanni is just a random first name in Italian. Yes it's kind of the English John or.


Inconnu means "unknown" in French.

Tremere is a latin verb (to tremble, to fear) but according to VTM1st ed, it pronounces "trimaar". I should look into ars magica but bleh. Latin and medieval latin got about nothing in common <_<
