Molly Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 So, I feel like shit. There's flu going around, and it seems likely that I have a touch of it. Of course, I can't seek medical attention, because our campus's policy is as follows: If you are showing flu symptoms, you are put in quarantine until said flu passes. Tomorrow is opening night for the show, I can't afford to be in quarantine, so I'm just not seeking medical attention. If I die, the school is getting so sued. That's how zombie movies start... Cool, I get to be patient zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Contra is one of the most notoriously difficult series in existence. There is no shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Contra is one of the most notoriously difficult series in existence. There is no shame. ^This. And even as hideously hard as Contra is, the one game from my childhood that takes the cake for unnecessarily stupidly difficult gameplay is Marble Madness.

James D. Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 The worst part was the fucking cry the marble would squeal out as it fell to its grisly demise over and over again. Fuck you, marble. I'm glad you broke into 138 pieces. GLAD, I TELLS YA'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I know it sounds like a broken record but Battletoads. Never been able to get past that fucking tunnel. Re: Contra, yeah, it's incredibly imposable without using the Konami code. With the code, it just becomes improbable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 You know when what makes you wake every morning isn't investigative journalism? That sense you get when you know, that day you won't be doing investigative journalism. Fuck having journalism shit to do at the end of the month!

James D. Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I just love having finished making a music video, only to find that when it's been converted to a video file, the audio track is like .13 seconds off in one place and .08 in another, and consequently, nothing syncs up correctly. Really, I LOVE that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, I LOVE that shit. Well, at least you caught it. I've seen enough AMVs on youtube where the person who made it never bothered to try and do a good syncing job or didn't notice it. At least you care enough to notice and try to make a fix and that makes you rock infinitely more than most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using Windows Movie Maker? And are the video and audio edited already? If so, I'd be more than happy to see if I can use iMovie to try and put the video and audio together and export the file correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yeah, I use WMM because it's so easy, and I'm just not into a ridiculous amount of special effects (as any of my previous 8 AMV's will show). Actually, I think I have fixed at least the first half of my problem, and now I just have to fix the end part of the video. I've had to basically extend certain clips by .07-.10 seconds and publish the video over and over again to see if it comes out alright. Not efficient in the slightest, but it's the only way I can be certain each part is aligned properly. Point is, when I'm motivated enough, shit gets done.

Kscriv Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 While I've made all my AMV's to date using WMM I think my days of doing that are done. When this computer crashes, I'm buying a MAc, I'm buying Final Cut Pro. Using it for Broadcast Journalism is making it too hard to use anything else.

SuaveStar Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Well, been putting together a folder of all the article cut outs I've made for my folders, one for Journalism a pass or fail class, and one for Graded Unit, a graded class. Why the fuck does my folder for the not graded class seem fuller!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 The person who assured me when the last train home last night was out by an hour. So with no sleeping bag prepared, I spent last night trying to sleep on a floor with a soaked coat and trainers from the wet journey to and from the train station. I'm amazed I'm still awake.

JackFetch Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I had to remove a couple people from Facebook. I don't care if you are a Christian or not, but if all you are going to do is quote scripture goodbye. I don't care about your politics either, and if all you are going to do is post one sided "news stories", then goodbye. I friend people because I: A. know them in real life B. want to know what's going on in heir lives not because I wanted to be preached at. Fuck anybody who does that.

Why wouldn't you just select the "remove from news feed" option? I have about half my Facebook friend list blocked from my list, but I don't delete them. And no offense, but deleting people just because you disagree with them is pretty damned disrespectful as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 I've done it. Facebook isn't a religious/political platform, I go there to recreate, not skim over piles of enraging, one-sided bullcrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really hold that view, since facebook is a social networking site where people spread ideas. I have no problem with it being a platform for people expressing themselves in any way they feel like. But hey, if that's not your cup of tea, then it's not your cup of tea.

MaxPower Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Personally I wish Facebook would die a quick painful death. I had a bet with a friend that it would be dead by last Christmas, I was probably 1 or 2 years too early, but hey, it will die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a bet with a friend that it would be dead by last Christmas, I was probably 1 or 2 years too early, but hey, it will die. Really? Die is sort of a strong word. I mean, Myspace is still kicking. It's not as popular as it used to be, obviously, but that's just because something newer and brighter came along. After Myspace there was Facebook. After Facebook there was Twitter. After Twitter, there will be something else. As long as there are people who think their opinions are important, society will find newer and flashier ways to share these opinions with increasingly larger groups of folks that don't give a shit. Others - like most of the people I know - see these things as a way to take stupid quizzes and share a laugh with some friends. Perish the thought.
