    When I first looked at this thread I too wondered why Xiao came back, just to talk about HBO. The only HBO series I'm interested in is Flight of the Conchords.

    STFU about Xiao and revel in the glory of a Game of Thrones television series.

    Fine, I'll watch your damned HBO series. Oh wait, I need cable for that.

    Since when has not having cable ever prevented you from watching episodes of a TV series?

    He's probably already seen them in the future.

    I think I got two or three books into that series before I lost interest. I felt like he was trying too hard to be shocking and tragic.

    The problem, Smuelissimo, with pirating Cool Shit is that the creators of said Cool Shit don't get compensated for their time spent making Cool Shit, so Cool Shit doesn't get made anymore.

    Reminds me of a certain game many of us here like.

    The problem with making shit jokes is that the people on this forum don't realise they are shit jokes and take me seriously instead of just saying "That's a shit joke" and then they ban me which means my shit jokes don't get made any more.

    Though it seems Zanza got it this time. There's always one.

    When I dream of a show, it's normally a show I'd watch, or a movie I'd watch. I'm not interested in this HBO series, so there's a very small chance I'd pre-see it while sleeping. Though I do have netflix and I watch stuff on hulu, pretty much what I see is futurama, american dad, family guy, and dragonball Z.

    Now I'm with everybody else who doubts your ability. Your future-seeing is too conveniently selective to be real.

    Selective? What I see are things I'm personally doing in the future, of course it's only going to pertain to me. I've seen parties, movies, shows, and videogames. The first time I saw a videogame was two weeks before I bought Fable 2. I knew I was playing Fable 2 in the dream because I played it before at a friend's house and was familiar with the environments. In the dream I made a crowd of people love me. Pretty easily, too. Did the same thing just two weeks later in reality, the day I bought my 360, along with Fable 2 and Street Fighter 4.

    It's not impressive to dream about doing something you know you are going to do.

    I actually don't know anything about the dreams I have, and when events unfold into dreamed moments I'm always surprised.

    I'm sorry but as much as I like you Sponge, I am just not buying it.

    You don't know anything about what you dream about, but then later you realized you had previously dreamed something that came true?

    That's called deja vu, bro.

    See, to us non-future-dreaming sceptics, it just sounds like you played Fable 2 on your friend's computer and then later dreamed about it.

    It would be more impressive if you hadn't played Fable 2 at all.

    It would be more impressive still if you haven't played Fable either, or seen any reviews or screenshots of it.

    It would be extremely impressive if you had written a post detailing how Lionhead's next game will be an RPG while the idea for Fable was still a germ in Peter Molyneux's mind.

    But even then - we couldn't rule out the possibility that you'd seen him mention something about it in an interview. Before we revise our current understanding of the physics of space-time, you'd have to predict something accurately that you could not have possibly known via ANY other method before it happened. And then do it a load more times in order to rule out coincidence. That may seem unfair to you, but that's how science works.

    However, I'd like to add, on behalf on Gross, that, while doing this would prove your predicting-dreams, not doing it, or even being unable to, does not logically disprove it.

    Indeed, it's the second law of thermodynamics, or causality, or the curvature of space time which logically disproves it. But I'm not trying to disprove it - I'm trying to help Grossenschwamm to the realisation that what he thinks is evidence of future dreaming, is actually just his mind playing tricks on him. And the way to do that is to get him to analyse the evidence objectively.
