Or try spinning. That's a good trick.

Oh, like glasses you mean?

these are for the most common deficiency, dichromacy. It says they haven't made a tritanope model but I guess it's technically possible.

omg i think my brain just came

Mussorgsky's Promenade - Electric Guitar

I've heard four from these guys, and they're excellent so far.

There are times when I wish I had tritanopia. It'd be neat to view the world as if it were an old two-colour Technicolor film.

Trust me, if you could choose, you wouldn't wanna be color blind. It's not fun.

Orang-ey, right?

 It looks strongly red to me, which was why I asked.

 I see orangey-red. As far as I'm aware I am only colour-blind to certain shades of green, so hopefully my eyes aren't getting bad at seeing reds as well.

 AFAIK, it's not supposed to get worse. That's why I was freaking out, because I remember being able to see the coat, long ago, on vhs.

Mine is red-green. It gets so frustrating at times.

That's the tv version, isn't it? We need to preserve it.

Nothing. I have that same picture you posted on another monitor. I can't see it.

Sometimes these things drive me to tears. I can't fathom how the world could be any more red than it is. But it is, and I can't see it.

Oh, and I cannot see it on that still from Bluray.com.

Oh. The coat is very obviously red in that Blu-Ray.com shot I posted. It's your eyes I'm afraid.

Your current Avatar? What colour is the light on the Bridge-Keeper's face?

Orang-ey, right?

I know I'm color blind, but I wonder how much other things like codecs factor into it.

And the monitor too! Does it properly reproduce red?

^ There is your answer dude ;-)

But seriously, the red is a little less saturated than I remember in that YouTube clip but it was never that bright to begin with. Probably a YouTube encoding thing as you say.

Additional: Shot from Blu-Ray.com...

Back in the day, I saw it in RE class on VHS too and remember the red being a touch stronger. Perhaps it was boosted a tad for the VHS release to compensate for the loss in "resolution"? Because in most shots she is just a dot in the distance.

 *Strikes beard* different factors could play into this: first the telecine, and most importantly, the way codecs like mpeg2, xvid and h264 handle color. The chroma space will always lose some information, and in a case like this, it seems most likely. I'll run a couple of tests tomorrow.

Oh, and I cannot see it on that still from Bluray.com.

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, I think I see it in that photo. It is incredibly faint though. If I wasn't looking for it, I'm not sure I would see it. Jpeg compression is notoriously really lossy.

I was looking for the famous "little girl in the red coat" scene in Schindler's list, on Youtube.

I found 3 or 4 versions of it, but I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't see the red in any of them.

I know I'm color blind, but I'm not that bad! ... Am I ?

I remember seeing it on vhs when they showed us the movie in my class, in middle school. I think I did see it.

Could Youtube's H264 codec be eating up the red splotch of color, perhaps mistaking it as an error in the midst of all those greys??

No, I think it could be blacker than that. Recalibrate your monitor, Frink.

I've played it. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, but after you play SMB2USA, the Japanese version just feels like a slight rehash of SMB1. It's rewarding if you manage to beat it, because of its increased level of challenge, but on the other hand "Mario Madness" adds some welcome variety. New graphics, new music, new gameplay, new enemies...

Hell, I'm kind of disappointed they didn't bring back this little guy for other Mario games

its wiki entry says he only came back for a GBA game and for Super Princess Peach on DS.

But Shyguy, oh! He deserves to be in more* than 3 or 4, he's special!

ooh that can become quite annoying if it's really forced, particularly if a character says "wait a minute, what did you just say?" "blah de blah" "That's it!!!"

ALLOL!!!

Johnny Carson... BALLS OF STEEL!!!

From what I've read recently, actually, what became Doki Doki Panic was supposed to be Mario 2 after all.

Here's a couple of links I've found:

My feet are cold... brrrrrr!!!!

".... where everything tastes like chicken!"

Video editing late at night. Maybe play Ducktales on nes later.... Eyes wide open.

 

I think they used a dancer for some of the scenes when he's in the suit, Keaton didn't wear it for the whole movie. Also, the neck was made of stiff rubber, so he couldn't turn his head.

You can get a usb controller with 10 buttons plus D-Pad for roughly $10. I just looked on Amazon and they even some, within that price range, that look like an SNES controller.

Get yourself a nice Christmas present, man! :)

I can't seem to stop clucking like a chicken while going around the house. Both amusing and addictive.

Must be the fault of those stupid ads that play on tv all the time, where Antonio Banderas tries to sell cookies while talking to a chicken. And the chicken answers. Mate, the cookies have always been excellent, you don't need to do this!

Meanwhile, Kevin Costner is selling salmon. Ironic and stupid at the same time.

It isn't inside the eyelid is it?

This is what I was talking about:

 Ouch I feel for you man.

My little sister has just gotten to the age where she stops talking to us and will not tell the men of the family what we have done to upset her. Woman, JUST TELL US WHAT WE DID WRONG ALREADY!!!

Hope things get better for you soon.

 Thank you, I appreciate that.

I've left it unattended!

 A little late. I crossed it a long time ago. I wasn't going to wait who knows how many days to go to the bathroom.

But I was going to make espresso!

I've got a fucking pimple underneath my eyebrow.  It isn't visible but it's really pissing me off.

 If it's what I think it is, I used to get them when I was younger. There's a cream for that, fix you right up.
