How did You U know that it was me? Even if I was at the house of my friends and &buddies, I bettcha that ya guys/dudes would still recognize that it was me. I, on the other hand, cannot tell if one of you guys has made a duplicate account or not!!!!!!

I explained exactly how we always know it is you already here:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/What-do-you-LIKE-about-the-EU/post/616085/#TopicPost616085

That explanation is NOT satystfying at all. I find that bullshitcrap explanation very hard to believe/even to take seriously.

New Word of the Day: "bullshitcrap"!

+1 to you, sir.

More information from OT!

Yep...though I thought it wasn't originally in Dutch and that there are several unique elements to the original.  I doubt we'd find it without the Dutch, but did the full Dutch version show up online before vanishing, because now there are only the various clips available.

I don't think so. Here are some links I was able to find:

If you made the new accounts solely to contact the mods much easier then why are you posting in threads?

Amazingly, he has already written 30 posts as YubNubGuy.

I was falsely accused of trolling from this original trilogy forum website.

You're still making image-only posts. Did you even bother to read the rules?

darth_ender said:

Is there actually some source for the complete "missing" ESB documentary?  I see a few clips, but it's not complete.  I get the impression that it was up and then was taken down.  Did anyone grab it before it disappeared?

Are you referring to the Dutch documentary that was transformed into "SP FX: The Making of The Empire Strikes Back"?

YubNubGuy: Be careful. Image-only posts will get you banned.

Those images don't even make sense in the context of this thread. Save that shit for the Off Topic section, please.

I'm not a mod, so this is just some friendly advice.

So... how long until YubNubGuy is banned?

You know, your Facebook friends automatically notify you every time they update their status or something.  But friends here are...just friends.  What's the point?  Nevertheless, I've got some of you on my friend list, but just because I don't doesn't mean I don't like you.  Don't feel left out that the coolest forum member hasn't yet added you.  Just friend me and I'll friend you back!  Unless I don't like you.

It might simply serve as a quick way to send a PM to someone with whom you frequently speak.

I still can't figure out how to update the Location field in my profile. :-/

Bump. Anyone?

That report is dated Nov 12, so this particular report hasn't been discussed (although perhaps the Remus offering has).

Read the comments...some info in there that makes this disc at least worth investigating. 

I'd be willing to front the cash to purchase it, but they don't have an online store and Georgia is ~10 hours from where I live.

I'm just wondering about one thing with ResampleHQ: Let's say one was to upscale a perfectly color-reference graded DVD using ResampleHQ for the downscaling after nnedi3. Wouldn't this gamma-aware behavior alter the picture?

Not necessarily. The point is that other downscalers alter the picture by not being gamma-aware. From the ResampleHQ website:

Our eyes don't perceive light linearly. Twice the photons will not appear twice as bright. To account for this, colorspaces with small bit widths (all the ones in Avisynth) are gamma-compressed to give a more eye-friendly representation, ensuring bits are evenly distributed across all perceived intensities.

These gamma-compressed colors must be converted back to a linear colorspace prior to blending, or you get incorrect results. None of Avisynth's filters do this correctly. For rare scenes with a lot of sharp contrast this causes very pronounced errors. For most other scenes the errors are more subtle. It can also effect the quality of anti-aliasing on edges with a lot of contrast (such as in outline-heavy anime and cartoons).

If you're doing color-correction after upscaling/downscaling, then all of this doesn't matter.

Damn. I passed out and didn't wake up until 7:30AM EST. I missed it!

In the sacred tradition of pat man's post-"pat man 2" period: NOOOOOOOOO!

Erica is getting nervous.

Luckily, I'm here to comfort her. :D

Speaking of Erica, remember this? http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/How-to-Calibrate-your-TV-Please-read-the-first-post/post/601048/#TopicPost601048

In the finest of pat man 2 traditions, I must ask: "whouse erica???"

That's the awesome Erica Rose Campbell - Former porn actress/model.

Look, and be amazed. Come back after you're done so you can thank me.

I know about Erica. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity for a pat man 2 plug.

Meh. I'm not sure it was worth the effort.

Trust me, it was worth the effort.

pat man 2 is a god amongst men.

ww12345: What color settings did your AV-tech friend use?

Please let me know if you need me to clarify anything. This stuff is pretty hairy.

I figure I'm going to start putting stuff on MediaFire again (with a bit of security).  Anyone know of a good proxy to use for uploading?

I was gonna use Tor/Vidalia, but it doesn't seem to work with MediaFire.

It seems MySpleen, although not a fan of most edits/preservations, is cool with SotS.  Is a file safe site preferred by you guys or good old torrents.

(Sorry, I suppose that's a bit off topic.)

My vote is for good ol' torrents via MySpleen.

(However, Usenet is my favorite, but I think we've already ruled it out.)

Andrea: Do you have a MySpleen account? If not, then I'll send you an invite!

Want to talk conspiracy? Consider the pat men.

Is pat man real? Is he a sock? If so, for whom?

Who was pat man 2?

Who was pat man 3?

Is pat man = pat man 2 = pat man 3?

The questions never end. The fun cannot be halted. The future is truly now.
