Are prime time series getting too violent?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 10 Mar 08

Bloody sitcoms and series have always existed, but it seems like you can't make any 'normal'ones anymore. It's all blood and gore and other weird stuff that makes us watch tv. From Supernatural to Heroes to all the more realistic...

Guitar Hero 3

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 10 Mar 08

The whole world seems to be playing it, and rightfully so. It looks weird at first to be standing in front of your tv with a fake guitar, but once you've tried it, you're addicted for life!!! Especially since you can download...

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 28 Feb 08

Ever since I started traveling, people are worried that something is going to happen because the news reports about horrible kidnappings, floodings, hurricanes or whatever in the area I'm going to. Now I'm not totally insane and...

On which site do you publish?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 25 Feb 08

Since I've started looking for ways to make some extra cash online, publishing articles became a real passion and I've even started calling myself a writer these days (which I'm not, but who knows...) For me, Associated Content is...

Wenger's reaction after Taylor's tackle: justified?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 25 Feb 08

Ok, can somebody please, PLEASE tell coaches and Wenger in particular to stop whining and being completely ridiculous? His reaction is what makes players do stupid things on the field. Yes, the tackle was late. Yes, it was a red...

Cameo roles in TV-shows

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 24 Feb 08

It's nothing new, big stars have played minor roles in sitcoms or lend their voice for animated characters. I don't think there's a single Hollywood actor that never played in Friends. My favorite is George Clooney, who did the...

How much 'extra' time do you spend on myLot?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 24 Feb 08

Obviously I'm not gonna say that time spent on myLot is wasted time. However, I'm sure every single one of you goes on-line with the idea to only spend a certain amount of time on this site, only to find out 3 days later you've...

Do you care about your rank?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 24 Feb 08

myLot plays the game really smart, with all kinds of statistics and stuff so you can see where you rank based on different criteria. Will you start discussion on a specific content to get a higher rate, or do you not care about it...

What do you know about Belgium?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 24 Feb 08

Whenever people ask me where I'm from, and I say Belgium, I see the doubt on their face. Is he serious? Is that a real country, and if so, where is it. I just wonder what the myLot community knows about my birthplace....

Does the colour of hair really matter?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 22 Feb 08

Ok, so quite a few people say that they only like blondes, or brunettes, or whatever. I just wonder that if you would meet a girl, and you get along great, and after a while you realize she's been wearing a wig all the time and...

Is it wrong to own 2 consoles???

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 22 Feb 08

I have always been (and probably always will be) faithful to Sony's Playstation. PS3 rocks and new that Blu-Ray became the new standard, I think more machines will be sold and even better games will be made. But I still want to...

Shaq at the Suns vs. Kobe

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 22 Feb 08

After his first game for the suns (which he lost against Kobe's Lakers) reviews for the Shaq were praising. I must have seen a different game, as I saw him being outstaged by an injured Kobe. Am I blind or did someone have to much...

Do you still watch American Idol AFTER the selections?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 19 Feb 08

The votes are in, the tickets are out. All the contestants have been heard and are or aren't on their way to Hollywood. For me, the reason to watch AI is the horrible singers. I can't help it, in some case, you have to feel sorry...

Can one be too old to play video-games?

Porteno @Porteno (99) • Belgium 19 Feb 08

'Shouldn't you turn your Playstation off and get some sleep?' A normal question to a 16-year old, maybe not so normal to a 37-year old. I consider myself as part of the first generation that grew up with videogames, and still love...
