These are obviously fakes, which means they are bootlegs, which means I had to remove the link.

Star Wars in Superbit would be awesome though. But consider that Lucas has a thing about not including DTS on any of his releases, sighting how great the THX Doby Surround EX soundtracks are. But anyone who's had the chance to listen to the pod race sequence in DTS off the THX demo disc knows how vastly superior a 6.1 discreet channel DTS track would be.

Did I tell you guys that my friend's '84 Honda Accord caught fire in the engine and blew up? Funniest damn thing I ever heard. Not to worry though Yoda, his car was in much much worse condition than yours appears to be (and probably 110,000 more miles too).

I drive a 2002 Subaru Impreza Outback. Awesome car.

I take offense to that. TMNT 1 is one of my all time favorite NES games. True, it is one of the hardest NES games, but I've beaten it several times. Every time I get to Shredder I have only one or two pellets of life left with Raph and I still seem to beat him.

"Lies of Serpents, A River of Tears" by Zao
Very creepy, weird yet awesome guitar riffs.

This song talks about wanting to go home but things are in your way. Exactly how my life is right now.

I loved both games back in the day. And I still play them on my MAME emulator. If I had to choose one, I'd have to say MK just because it was more "realistic", I love fatalities, and I liked the story better. I used to be able to beat SSF2 on SNES on the hardest setting without having to continue. MK2 and UMK3 were much harder.

Speaking of MAME, here's my custom made joystick:

Here's another suggestion from Darryl Herschler's web site. The font from his site is Alt Gothic (aka "AlternateGothic2 BT"). Let's do a little comparison, shall we?

I've taken Darryl's suggestion along with Molly's ("Franklin Gothic Demi Condensed") and DE's ("AlternateGotNo3D"), added a couple of my own, and compared them to the X0 capture of the US Definitive LD. "Franklin Gothic LT Extra Condensed" and "AlternateGothicEF No.2" are two fonts I have that look pretty close as well.

I would include "FF Dirty Seven Two" but I don't have it.

The fonts have been spaced to match the LD capture.

I think AlternateGotNo3D looks the closest out of these. But it still doesn't look like the exact font.

Image updated with DE's font.

I think Masters of the Universe was my favorite show when I was really little. Saved by the Bell was my favorite show as a pre-teen. After that, MST3K all the way.

And speaking of which, what about the cartoons? Masters of the Universe? Thundercats? GI Joe? Ninja Turtles? Voltron? Transformers?

"I take care of things while the Master is away"

So, Zion...who's your fav? Mike or Joel?

I don't really have a preference. I like them both for different reasons. Everything from season 2 on was great.

(I already voted for KR so I can't vote for MST3K)

I was implying that resetting the black and white points and toning down the overall blueish tint would be a quick and easy general CC job. But yes, a shot by shot correction on top of that would be even better.

Blu-Ray is actually 25GB single layer and 50GB dual layer. Although more than two layers are possible in the future.

I find it ironic that everyone is talking about this, especially when DL versions of fan projects are still few and far between. Besides, only in the past 6 months has the cost of DL media been low enough to purchase in bulk.

We haven't decided as a group what to do about audio. But I'd say that PCM is a strong possibility. DVD9 is a given. The real question is whether there'll be a DVD5.
