I rather enjoyed Morgan Webb's new WebbAlert video blog news aggregator thingy that she does daily.

I feel somewhat shamed.

Is she the one with the tits or the one with the tits that licks gaming devices ?

Olivia Munn from G4 is the one that licked the AppleTV.

Who licked the PSP ?

That was an advertisement put out by Sony with a no-name model, afaik.

Ah, right.  I can't keep up with so called Journalist/blog/celebrities getting their titties out for the mass edification of internet geeks and retards.

Not that I don't like titties you understand.

She is cohost of a game review show on G4 called Xplay with err...some balding dude whose name just escaped me. She is truly a gaming geek and it shows when she is interviewed. She's also done a Maxim spread which you can find on their website.

For some reason, and I'm sure I'm all alone in this, I have no interest in watching television shows about video games.  However, I did get a kick out of the WoW episode of South Park.  I've never watched a show on G4.  I don't even know where the channel is although I've seen stuff listed on demand so I'm sure it must be there someplace. 

Morgan Webb is the talentless bimbo that really isn't that good looking but for some reason geeks all over the Internet have been spooging themselves over for years. X-Play was a decent if goofy video game review TV show on TechTV before she got involved. Then it started to suck. Every word out of her mouth is a dagger into my fucking brain.

Don't sugar coat it, please tell us how you REALLY feel.

Saw Webb at E3, not really that hot, I'm not actually sure what the attraction to this girl is (besides the fact she talks about video games, I mean I've seen hotter girls talk about video games).

It's kind of a tragedy that Webb and that dude are the only survivors out of all the decent shows that were on TechTV. Well, the ScreenSavers, anyway. That show rocked. We need a 'pour a 40' emoticon. G4 can barely be called a gaming channel, it's mostly shitty tv shows with maybe two or three gaming shows they'll play at 4am.

Webb is kinda cute, though as the years go by I find her less attractive. Now that Cat Schwartz...she was cute.

Ok, just to make sure I knew what she looked like lately, I went and looked at her blog. It included video of her in a swimsuit.

To quote MadTV: "She looka like a man."

A couple weeks ago I watched G4 to see the E3 07 coverage. Somehow the channel wasn't changed and that atrocious 'attack of the show' came on. That may be the worst piece of garbage trying so hard to be trendy it's pitiful. They had a piece trying to figure out why the great genre of 'torture porn' was under attack from mainstream america. Really?

You all are deepening my shame.  I almost feel as bad as I did that one time I admitted to watching some anime to my RL friends.

So it's the Mtv of the 4-chan generation? Right then, glad my carrier doesn't have it.

Why does every thread here have to devolve into a discussion of terrorist groups?

It is by no means that cool.  My wife watches it but that's because it's a quick and easy faucet that dispenses moving pictures of video games.

I dig her. Decent sense of humor, nice body, and pretty eyes. Video game addiction is a plus.

I'm not sure how many wives/fiancees/girlfriends are as hot as Morgan Webb that you people have out there, but she's certainly not unattractive.

She would have to fall in your top ten simply because of her video game addiction.


And while I'm at it:  :inluv: :inluv: :inluv:

Her squareness frightens me, games or not.  Also, there are plusses and minuses to a gaming girlfriend.

I was not being smug with my comment.  I will admit to watching Big Brother.  Which reminds me... on one of the Big Brother sites (well, I only look at one once in a great while) they seem to have a "spoiler button."  The spoilers are invisible unless you click the button.  We could use one of those around here... especially for the tv, film and book posts. 

Ok, now my shame is exposed.   (http://www.terranuts.com/forums/images/smilies/blush.gif)  There is nothing more you can hurt me with.  Well, not that you know about anyway.  Hopefully.

She has more hard angles than an octagon. Her video game addiction might be attractive, if it weren't for the fact she tries way too painfully hard to be funny and just isn't. Her lack of attractiveness has nothing to do with hot wives/fiancees/girlfriends, and everything to do with "she looks like a man and talks like a retard."

Heh, like that Alias chick who got preggers.

J Gardener or something like that.

Bring back Sumi Das (http://www.sumidas.tv/)!

Now at home and being able to peruse pics of the Webb in question, she's not bad.  Not omg fantastic, but I expect that's because she's trying to maintain the wrong physique for her body type.  She'd look a lot better with some more weight and muscle than trying to go for the Hilton/ Twiggy stick-figure look.  But of course, weight = FAT so omg she shouldn't weigh more than 125# evar!

She's hot for a random gaming chick. She's not hot for a chick who was in Maxim.

I think that about sums it up.

That reminds me of the pics of her that surfaced on the intarwebs...the ones where someone opened an image of her eyes in PS and found the entire uncropped image. She was topless and smoking a joint. It was rather hot.

Is this her?


NSFW: www.offkilter.com/images/cat.jpg

Yep.

I like the look of natural; there is too much silicone going on in today's culture. She is definitely pretty.

Pros: She looks good with her hair pulled back

Cons: Videos not downloadable or in alternate formats, looks too "twitchy" with the camera pulled in so tight, no video gaming news (in first episode), doesn't offer anything new over other video podcasts

 http://p.castfire.com/cHNHf/video/1812/webbalert_2007-08-02-024247.flv (right click save as)

Edit: You know, these videos are pointless if it's just her head. It's her worst feature. I don't think she knows her userbase. I don't want to listen to a girl talk about what we've already read. That's crazy.

Doesn't work, already tried that. It's like what YouTube is doing now with forced streaming on their videos. You can't download them anymore.

Hm.

Topical comic link! (http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=218)

The video pulled in so tight is lame. That was the first thing I noticed too. I switched to a different browser tab and just listened.

If I wanted to look at someone with dark shadows under their eyes from cracking out on their PC I'd look in the mirror!

It worked for Rocket Boom, at least for awhile, dunno if anybody still watches it after Amanda left. I prefer things like GeekBrief TV or Wallstrip, though.

Hah, good comic.  Morgan Manjaw.

Edit: So I watched another one.  I've never seen someone animate their face so much.  I think she may be a robot.

Watch Cali Lewis in GeekBrief TV.

Doesn't help. Seriously.

I don't understand. I download videos from youtube all the time and slap them on my ipod.

Nothing copyrighted, of course.

I just downloaded my video, encoded it for my ipod and watched it on my mac.

Try the videos on www.webbalert.com. As I said in my original post those videos are being streamed (through a Flash proxy) so you can't download them as standalone videos. For YouTube I shouldn't have said all videos but some are definitely being streamed as well now.

Hit play to initialize it, then it will download.

You just need a Greasemonkey!!!! (http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/download-youtube-video-with-greasemonkey-script.html)

You just need the Download Helper firefox extension/add-on… …I haven't encountered any problems with it…

But does that give make a little monkey show up in the bottom right of you window?

Oooh that works. You da man!

Err, no. You are the man, I just subbed for a minute there.

I've watched one now and I have to agree.  It's always moving.  It's strangely hypnotic and deeply disturbing.

I do that. Can't help it, it's like my brain is wired to my face. I don't play cards for money.

Little of this would matter if I could only understand the words coming out of her mouth.  The only person who speaks less intelligibly than Morgan Webb on TV is Adam Sessler.

I want to kick Adam in the face. Right in the face, and I'm not a violent person at all. It's just the way the show is presented and what he is supposed to be. It's the same reason I want to put a gun to the head of the hosts of "Dinner and a Movie" on TBS. It's just wrong.

I'd bang Morgan Webb senseless given the opportunity.  She's put together nice enough (http://web.mit.edu/ealba/www/morgan-webb-pics-009.jpg) and that air of gawky geekitude just makes her better.  Plus I think Xplay is a reasonably entertaining show.  Sue me.

No way, her proportions are too dissimilar for the sort of build she appears to be going for; she's trying to be a lightweight, but seems to be built like a middleweight chick or something.

Someone give the poor girl a sandwich.

Its time for that little image file we all know and love, I think.

(http://www.cmdrslack.com/images/standards.jpg)

I just realized something.

These videos are shot like amateur porn.

Which only proves that they clearly understand the target audience.

Now that would be a great format. Video game news + porn.

Sorta like that naked news program that we don't get cause boobies = teh debil?

It may be shot like amateur porn. But unfortunately, it's not. It's an amateur news show, with a boring topic - blog roundups. Bleh.

But it could be porn!

Edit: hehe, do we now get flagged in porn searches? Someone should post an inspired UrbanDictionary entry for getting function-thirteened.

My YouTube channel got a spam "friend invite" from a channel called "hotforwords". It was obviously porn, but I wondered why they hadn't called it "toohotforwords".

Meet Marina the Siberian philologist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOVwgsW2P94). All she does is define words like floccinaucinihilipilification (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMrk9ea1m0g). It's educational, I tell you!

Um.

Those links aren't going to be safe, are they ?

You go, I'll follow.

 :-o

Some things just baffle the mind.

Even now.

I don't know how to describe whether it's NSFW or not. That's the reason for such a strange channel - it is entirely within YouTube's terms of service and I picked two of her tamer vids. She's quite conservatively clothed in the first one.

That's a very-well setup shot. Filters out the ass.

It still can't disguise her lantern jaw. A blowjob from Morgan Webb would look like I was getting head from Superman.

EDIT: The Siberian Philologist is hotter than Morgan Webb, and more interesting to boot. But damn, Ironwood is right. Somethings are just baffling.

A handsome and buff man like you has every right to talk.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Can you all see faster than 30FPS (or is this why you suck at shooters I LOLLED)? Why has no one pointed out this 1/2 frame flash?

(http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/8449/wtfsiberiaal3.jpg)

Because the first comment on the link already did.

And it's still SFW.  Unless your work is no fun at all.

What? Tale didn't mention it. I mean, it has no place being there. It's a half frame flash.

Sorry, the comments on You Tube.

Arg, I'm just realising that others may have been using the 'ole Trippy code....

I didn't mention it because I know why it's there. YouTube automatically grabs the middle frame of your clip as the icon, so it's normal to insert a frame like that in the exact middle of a YouTube video. It seemed unremarkable to me.

I wouldn't say unremarkable.  It's actually quite a fine body, as these things go.

I think I am supposed to be learning but when I'm done watching her videos, I don't feel the least bit educated.

I like the attempt @ "The Word" they have going w/ the bottom titles.

Bottom titles.

Bottom titles.

Tittles.

Titties.

TITS.

Awesome.

Edit: This post brought to you by C8H10N4O2.

"The Internet lies to you."

Maybe if you learn (NSFW) her favourite word (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raFCI6PvSc0)?

That's already been flagged by the YouTube community, but it still doesn't breach their TOS. After all, they're just random pictures of her and her dog, riiight?

NSFSW*

This Hotforwords thing is going to create at least a YouTube star. She just did a collaboration with sxephil, one of the actual YouTube stars: NSFSW* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7fMXw3tM-o

On recent form I'd now define (NSFSW*) her videos (http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=hotforwords) as erotica. Whoever her genius management is, they're now getting her to define "buxom", "metrosexual" (gets her to say "sexual") and "female" which is apparently derived from the Latin prefix "fe", meaning "to suck".

Still all entirely within YouTube's terms of service. It makes the actual porn video spammers look ridiculous.

* Not Safe For Schild's Work

I am still unsure as to the point.

Think dotcom boom. The current mentality is that if you get in on the ground floor as a star, you will have a licence to print money when the mythical web 2.0 bigtime arrives. This is the money of investors.

Wait, why am I supposed to care about this hot chick talking about words on YouTube?  Sure she's hot, but this is the internet.  I can get real porn at the drop of a hat.

Web 2.0

Nigga Please.

My girlfriend has heard my web 2.0 gripe enough that I don't even have to say my trademark line: shutthefuckup 1.9.

There is a contingent of tech-loving librarians who get off on buzz words and say shit like library 2.0 and make me want to stab. They are messing themselves consider the possibilities of web 2.0....but nobody can actually name a useful and wanted application. These are the people who invent reasons to use technology, luckily i'm the tech guy and my approach is to apply technology only where there is a pre-existing need and existing tech product to fill it.

Otherwise, shutthefuckup 1.9.

The ability to prioritize traffic.  I'm not saying it's wanted by the likes of you and I, or that it's usefulness isn't debatable but it is wanted by certain groups.

edit: Ignore my last, over.  I was thinking of the internet2 backbone.  Got my buzzwords crossed.  I have no idea if web 2.0 actually encompasses a concrete idea.

Hmm, is AJAX Web 2.0?  I, too, am not sure what the term actually means.

The wiki explains what it's supposed to mean. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

I like TBL's quote:

Basically I take it to mean a web where it's easier for non-tech dipshits to do what tech people have been doing since before the internet existed in its current form. I was running a 'social networking site' (via BBS) in the mid 80s, for crissakes.

Web 2.0 is a term only retarded business majors trying to sell the new internet boom use.

I think the term is blanketed over the whole new internet tulip mania craze, 2nd edition…

…myself, I'm holding out for Web 3.14159…

PiWeb!

I think I missed PhiWeb already, since we're at 2.0 :(

Pretty sure Haem is right.

You're not their target audience and they're not my target audience.

Vast numbers of people cannot tie their Internet shoelaces. When they visit a site that says "CLICK HERE FOR THE INFO" they can't find the info and use the complaint form to request it. They reach google by typing www.google.com into the MSN search box. They can't find porn, just signup sites that open infinite pop-ups and give them trojans when they google for "sex".

YouTube is very accessible and popular. It is a platform you can use to engage an audience. With an audience, you can generate income - not only on YouTube, but by bringing them to your own sites. Advertisers pay per 1000 clicks. The Internet is a money-making machine for those who can generate hits on web content. In addition to showing them ads, you can sell them stuff (like actual porn).

As someone from The Sun said, "tits means hits". I haven't been saying "some hot chick is talking about words", I've been saying "look at this bizarre way somebody is using YouTube". She's a porn maker's marketing experiment.

It frustrates my compatriot Hugh: Hot Lesbian Porn on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSXcEzC5k5k)

Actually, web 2.0 kind of has a use. I mean, it really does a decent job of describing the whole blogosphere social networking user-created content boom that's happened in the last 3-5 years.

The real problem arises when people use it to be hip and trendy. Like "new games journalism." I do believe that sort of talk should get you shot.

So... basically, GPS just makes it easier for dipshits to do what we've been doing with the sextant for three hundred years.

I agree that "Web 2.0" is either a) an omnibus banner or b) trendy-speak, depending on who's saying it. Both are bad. Making things easier for grandma or the guy across from me in class intrinsically isn't.

That said, I find Morgan Webb (and Jennifer Garner for that matter) attractive. All my friends disagree with me, but I'm comfortable with my brokenness.

I still use a sextant.  Fuck that GPS shit.

Now there's a word she could use.

We could stiill do 'Web e' though...
