Thanks bud.

Now I have another complaint.

The amount of hoops you have to jump through to play a damn blu ray on Windows 8 is absurd. You’d think getting a blu ray drive would be enough but nope. Have to find a separate program. They disabled it in Windows media player and I can’t get vlc to work either. The only free program I could get to play it was neavo, but the sound wouldn’t work properly. I have the pc hooked to my receiver with hdmi. For some reason when i select hdmi for sound in this program it won’t play any sound. I have to hit analog… Which still sends the sound through the HDMI (wtf) but only in stereo. I don’t understand why it can’t just use direct sound or whatever to just use the default sound for my computer so I could have surround. It’s just a basic down mix too from what I can tell. If it would at least matrix it so I could use the pro logic II song on my receiver then I could live with that but I don’t think it does. My soundcard has an automatic matrix downmixer for 5.1 audio on the fly but I’m pretty sure this program is doing it’s regular down mix before it even gets to that so it didn’t helpo this instance.

So I guess I’m just going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade the powerdvd and hope it sends the audio in 5.1. But even if it doesn’t I should still be able to to use my sound cards down mixer and get a surround experience that’s at least close. (I can honestly barely tell the difference between dolby surround and discrete surround anyway other than the fact that dolby surround needs less bit rate to sound good…)

I need to play bl u rays directly from the disc. I don’t want to have to rip it. I can already play ripped files. I could be wrong but I don’t think GOM can do that.

Tis okay.

I think I have an arcsoft media 5 that I no longer use, but that version is a few years old, night not support win 10?

I have Windows 8 actually. I don’t know if that would work or not. Cyberlink powerdvd cane with the computer and upgrading it to allow bl u ray playback will cost about 50 bucks looks like. Could be worse I suppose

You did say you had a virus though.

Yeah and it must be really bad too because it took me about 30 seconds to even get that joke because I forgot I said I had the flu.

It’s ok, I was so thrown off by DS making sense that I took 30 seconds to get it too.

And then I laughed.

Wait – Darth Solo doesn’t usually make sense? Then how come I can understand all his posts perfectly?!

You must have also been born in space then Heather.

Why do I get the feeling TV’s Sheldon doesn’t really laugh?

TV’s Sheldon

Do you think this is funny? It’s the only reason I can think that you would keep trying to make it a thing.

Would you be more comfortable with TV,s Gump then?

No SOH.

I was just curious if you thought it was funny.

I will only disclose the answer if you pay me ten dollars.

a big fuck you goes out to Governor Christie for saying this:

[Governor Christie said:]

I understand why people are interested if you are a public figure, as to who you root for,” Christie said. “They’re interested. But the hostility, I will tell you that I take for being a Cowboys fan — and this is what I say to Giants fans all the time, and Eagles fans. Now Eagles fans I can understand it from a little more because the Eagles do suck and they’ve sucked for a long time. And their fans are generally angry, awful people.

Fuck you, you fat piece of shit.

Just sleep until it heals.

I’m no fan of Christie, but if you’re an Eagles fan, doesn’t what you just said count as an Own goal?

What?

Christie took a shot at Eagles fans so our resident Eagles fan shot back.

Being misunderstood by an annoying friend is annoying.
