Extremely Silly Website: digital-fanedits.com (Was: Extremely Silly Article About Star Wars Prologue On DVD)
Time

I read the description of his Star Trek 1 edit, it sounds interesting. I'd love to see some clips of how he pulls off the "all new shots" to see if they would take me out of the film.

Alas, I chose the wrong side by joining here.

EDIT: Found his trailers on YouTube. They're pretty well put together. I don't think the 2D cutouts of the Klingon ships work though. Oh well.

Is that normal for Blu-rays? Or is it just your player? I've bought a small handful of Blu-ray discs since getting my PS3, but I have actually never gotten around to watching any of them.
It's per-disc. My Star Trek TOS BDs remember your place, for example and it has alternate angles and audio tracks to remember. Same with the Lord of the Ring Extended Editions and the Battlestar Galactica BDs. Some just don't care and put you back to the beginning every time.

Hope you enjoy the rest of Smith's tenure thus far, doubleo; I know I have... :-)
I'm a few episodes into my Blu-ray set of Series 6. It's alright so far. I don't like that the Blus don't remember my place, so I can't just watch when I can, I have to either have an hour to watch an episode, or figure out what chapter I'm on to skip back to it after all the ads load. It's really annoying.

Kindle/Nook Thoughts?
Time

I use my wife's old Kindle 2, which is pretty hefty and the page turn click is pretty loud. Yesterday I told her that I should get a new one, its smaller, lighter, etc. She didn't think we needed to, so we didn't. Last night we're sitting in bed reading and she asks me to turn the pages quieter because I read faster than she does and it was driving her crazy. I just shrugged and said, "A new Kindle would have been quieter."

In short, I tried to click more quietly from then on.

Question for people who own the 1984 VHS releases
Time

Good find with the other laserdisc cover, and great idea with the labels! I'm not sure I'll use this with the GOUT anymore, but for Harmy's Despecialized. Maybe you could also format these to work as Blu-ray covers as well? That would require even more room on the sides of the paintings though...

Doesn't matter really, DVD cases show off more of the detail.

Episode II: Attack of the Ridiculousness ***NEW 14 MONTH ANNIVERSARY DVD NOW AVAILABLE***

It's a "what if Star Wars didn't exist but someone was playing the same situations in a Dungeons & Dragons type game" comic.

The guy who "plays" R2 is one of the annoying D&D players who takes advantage of every rule to make the best character possible for the campaign, which means he can do practically anything but is only allowed to speak in droid language (which he doesn't follow).

Socks or Real People?

Your IP address location can be off as the ISP only publishes so many locations based on the first sets of your address (do you really want people finding your house?), but I'm pretty sure every home/school router has its own distinct IP address. They won't be statically assigned (you have to pay extra for that), but each location should have one or they'd never be able to accuse individuals of piracy!

And thanks for the kind words about me. :-)
