A money-desperate high school teacher and miscreant former-student enter the drug trade, which begins to consume them.

Breaking Bad is one of those uncomfortable-yet-riveting shows. While awesome for what it is, I don’t generally recommend it.

I did watch it, and I’m mostly happy I did, but it doesn’t leave a nice streak-free gloss on my memory. I guess that was the point.

The lawyer Saul got his own spinoff show, Better Call Saul – (2015 show)

She’s done some spectacular covers. She’s also hot as all hell, and I wish her videos were higher quality.

Music has some notes on my taste, which apply to Trance.

I have a particular love of female vocal progressive trance. It’s lighthearted and romantic. I’ve been listening to this style and sub-style of music for a while now. I intend to keep listening, and I like to share the things I love. Isn’t that what love is? If you like my curating, then you’re in for a treat.

A down-and-out traveler discovers a pair of sunglasses which let him see through the illusions aliens have been using to control mankind.

With overtones of the manipulation of the everyman, I would easily put this movie in the same class as Nineteen Eighty-Four. However, the otherwise weighty impact is cushioned by comedy, great characters and a great story. Though old, this movie stands the test of time. Easily considered satirical-horror, there’s much more to it.

This is, in a sense, a bubblegum movie that delivers a subtler message. It tickles the viewer’s cognitive dissonance. Some viewers will easily “get it”, and some will merely find it entertaining. I hope those between those two groups will be particularly intrigued.

Mandatory viewing.

Based on Eight O’Clock in the Morning – (1963 short story) by Ray Nelson (archived)

A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.

Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.

Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).
