Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

As long as you don't start licking the keyboard. Not that the keyboard wouldn't appreciate it, but it might take some 'splaining to the boss.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I hate that eraserhead thing. Dammit.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Apparently, Tivo is putting the price of the box in the monthly fee and has "quietly" dropped the lifetime subscription option. People are kind of pissed about this:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, you don't need to purchase one anymore. The hardware's to be "free".

Don't go ruining my pettiness with your salient points....

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Well, I am not sure that the hardware is "free"...because the most you can buy is a 3 year option.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, crap. Guess I won't be upgrading to the Series 3 after all. (Unless they do the thing where I can switch my current lifetime plan to the new box, it'll be far cheaper to just get an HD-DVR from my cable company.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

yeah, I think Tivo is shooting themselves in the foot. Especially with Series 3 being released soon.
