So the digital version of these books has only been out for a few days, and already certain people are ripping it and sending copies of it to each other?! Way to go!

Did it not occur to anyone here that the author might VERY well hang out here sometimes.......? Instead of copying it why not support his work by PAYING for a copy? There's a ton of hard work that has gone into these books, the least we can do here is to support work like this - as we support certain projects here - not copy it as if we were entitled to it. Not like this is a preservation project or something...!

Not cool...

 


I purchased all 3 in hardcover AND I purchased all 3 on Kindle (because I have a kindle). As I don't have an iPhone or an iPad, I'm not purchasing it a 3rd time to get HD files. So get on your high horse somewhere else...

 

Fuck off.

Star Wars: Episode VII to be directed by J.J. Abrams **NON SPOILER THREAD**
Time

What are the chances that the first teaser for this will feature any of the following?

  • "The Force" theme
  • clips from previous films
  • an exploding logo / Vader head in space
  • "STAR WARS" rushing at the camera
  • a build up appearing like a non-Star Wars movie before a lightsaber appears and reveals all
  • "I've got a bad feeling about this"
  • zooming pans across pre-production art
  • A narrator

I feel like in 2013 there really ought to be a better way to clean up after having a bowel movement. I mean, we wash our hands with soap and water to remove invisible germs, we have hand sanitizer bottles waiting in nearly every doorway, but we can't be bothered to come up with better methods for cleaning fresh poop off of our bodies beyond wiping at ourselves blindly with a dry square (or wad of squares).

I use these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EONH04

I've been using them for as long as I can remember. My parents do as well.

Instructions: Use just like toilet paper. Continue to use new ones until they come back completely clean. Flush.

But I feel like this is a waste of money (as well as world's resources). Not to mention it is way worse than water/bidet.

How is it way worse than a bidet? The product is quite... moist.

By the time I'm done, the final wipe looks the same as it did before it went on its little journey.

Plus, I do back-to-front and front-to-back.

I'm absurdly meticulous with ass cleanliness. My crack shines when I'm done.

Apart from the already mentioned stuff, what if you have a really soft and sticky mess with huge chunks still attached around your rear. With water you can easily and very quickly remove it and make it completely clean. With toilet paper or wet tissues you need a lot of time and rubbing. While wet tissues might be more effective in the final stages, they don't do much better than toilet paper in the initial stages of operation. And if you have any hair back there, with paper/tissues you will first make it an even bigger mess before it will get better.

Given that his crack shines, I doubt hair is an issue?

Info & Ideas: ESB and ROTJ Wishlist
Time

Reegar said:

Awe-inspiring posts, my friends!

As is my hobby as of late, I was surfing through ancient threads. There were some familiar faces, but many who disappeared some time ago. 

Does anyone remember a user by the name of JasonN? He has been gone for nearly a year. He had a vision for ROTJ. A humble, yet profound and achievable vision that could do to be resurrected, I think.

It was radical enough that I cannot operate under the delusion either adywan or Possessed would ever even consider it, but surely there are other members who are willing.

Could you provide us with links to his vision?

You've got the wet-ass feeling of bidet while keeping the close-hand-proximity-involvement of regular wipes. The worst of both worlds.

Not to mention the extra cost.

As for your shiny crack, there's a part of me that questions if that's even healthy?

It's probably unhealthy if you're as meticulous as I am.

Your analysis makes sense, however.

I'm still sticking with 'em. ;-)

Hey, as long as you're reasonably clean and not harming yourself, I would never try to actually stop you from cleaning your ass however you please.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this yet, but the project is getting a little more attention (a coworker that didn't know about this project or that I follow it found this article and showed it to me). 

http://penny-arcade.com/report/article/the-making-of-the-best-version-of-star-wars...-which-of-course-you-cant-get

The moment I saw the author refer to this movie as 'A New Hope', I stopped reading & died a little inside.

Jackasses like this are a small part of what killed Star Wars as it was. When you have a few million small parts like this, you get a world where it's accepted & we get films like the prequels & the 4th Indiana Jones film. :(

Calling a film by its most commonly understood name when writing something intended for large exposure to the general public is not being a "jackass". It's doing things right.

Harmy's THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Despecialized Edition HD - V2.0 - MKV & AVCHD (Released)

nightstalkerpoet said:

Just an idea for this. Have you considered removing the episode numbers from ESB and RotJ crawls. I know that you're trying to get these as close to theatrical as possible, but seems like a change that could be really cool and match them up to your SW Despecialized. Also cuts ties to the PT a bit.

You do realize that the lack of an episode # on the SWDeEd is because that is accurate to the theatrical, right?

The space limit on a single-layer BD is somewhere around 23.5 GB. 17.9 as-is without any extras is fast approaching that.

I suppose you could start dropping selected audio (particularly lossless audio) to create more space, then of course the revised menus.

There wouldn't be any layer break on a BD-25, of course so no worries there. Even if there were, the software would handle that seamlessly.


Hell no. Don't drop the lossless audio. Drop the various languages. Those matter MUCH less.

 

International accessibility vs audiophiles
