Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Your TV
« on: April 21, 2004, 09:34 AM »
I have an unbranded 20”, a Samsung 21”, a Samsung 14” TV/video combo and a 28”widescreen Hitachi. If I include my PC’s TV card, then I suppose I also have a 15” TFT.

Edit: Also, are most North American TVs 4:3? It’s just that in Europe most new programs are windscreen, hence the popularity of 16:9 sets over here…

…in which case, how about a “mine is bigger and wider then yours" contest between members."  :P

Modern Trading / Re: Clone Wars on CD
« on: April 21, 2004, 06:40 AM »
The problem seems to be the playing time. I have tried to make a VCD, but it’s 78 minutes in total and VCDs are limited to about 74 minutes on a 700mb disc. If you can find a 90min/ 800mb disc (they are quite rare) then you could encode the QuickTime files with the free version on TMPGEnc and burn the resulting VCD-Mpegs with Nero (or other VCD-authoring software).

Holy crap! I can't believe we can say Pussies!  :o

Must have a legitimate second meaning or something  :)

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Insert cards
« on: April 16, 2004, 01:26 PM »
It kind of makes me laugh (ruefully) how the price on these has collapsed. When I started I suppose a bit of me was in for the “value” of these “rare” figures, but now I feel like such an idiot.

I was dusting off my MOCs and now I think I regret trading in my genuine MOMC first 16 for the insert versions that I replaced them with (some of the insert cards are far less than MOMC). Makes me want to be an opener again :(

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Entertainment Earth and the Yavin Wave.
« on: April 16, 2004, 12:08 PM »
I only got the Yavin wave yesterday, so it looks like we’re not as far behind the US as I thought.

Just curious, when did the Yavin wave start shipping to retail in the US? Perhaps distribution isn’t even across the country…

Congrats, GNT’s Mini-Member...ahem, sorry…I meant to say GNT’s “Mini-Me” :)

My own name reflects the fact that I shall be leaving you soon. I decided that instead of deleting myself, I should just quit posting for a while. Most of you are great, but there is still an RS-like atmosphere here (increasingly so) that I can obviously get my fix of elsewhere.

Avatars often go with name changes, so here are the ones I’ve used to far. With 5 days to go, I am currently on the Jackson 5. Since you are all mostly North Americans, I should explain that the last one was a guy hitting a “Six” in a Cricket match.

Jocasta's Reading Room / Re: Timothy Zahn
« on: April 15, 2004, 12:30 PM »
I greatly enjoyed reading “Vision Of The Future” and “Spectre Of The Past”. This could have been because they continue the storyline of the excellent Thrawn Trilogy, but I still feel that the 2 newer books are very good in their own right.

It was one of the main reasons why I had to stop my One Open, One Carded collecting habits.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Guns
« on: April 14, 2004, 07:09 AM »
I have a water pistol, which I use to chase away the neighbourhood’s cats.

Guns are (fortunately) illegal in my country. I believe drug dealers and even some of the more competent police officers (only one or two of them qualify, obviously) can apply for special licences.

Yeah they are illegal in AUstrailia too and look at what happened to the crime rates there are soaring
Crime rates are soaring everywhere: it is the way of the world :( But I still see no reason to add guns into the equation.

It’s the US way of life to own guns, so that’s the way it’s going to stay over there. I just don’t want the gun culture imported over here like we do with everything else “American”.

I am being dead serious, your rat "thing" is really starting to scare me.


I try not to talk about it, but other people keep bringing the subject up. If someone is deliberately trying to upset me, am I not allowed to respond? And why repost that horrible picture?
