Wow, that has got to be so messed up. It is so evil to be singing "Singing
in the Rain" and beating up a guy and about to rape the same guy's wife. I
haven't finished watching it yet, but wwwooooaaa that is messed up.

**That movie is freakin' wacked!

**Hey, Rags! I just remember that you were frustrated with it at some
point. :) I liked MP a lot. Visually awesome, etc., but it was a
big-time button masher and I pulped my hands and wrists playing it.
Also, it's not going to be replayed at all. Too much running around
all over the same place again and again. That made me a little crazy
but it was very satisfying to beat it. Honestly, I kicked its ass only
after it kicked mine many a time :) I just kept going until I got
really good at it.

The only 2 points that I had any REAL trouble is the last boss which was a
complete pain in the ass, and the next to last boss and that was only
because my index finger was hurting from too much button mashing over the
past however long I'd been playing it that I had to take a few days off.

not Metroid Prime.

You actually beat the last boss without any cheat codes? Damn, that

Also! Guess what!? I bought a Panasonic DVD recorder! A dmr-e85h. What
brand of media do you use in your recorders? Have any of your pannys
had problems with TDK media? I bought a small pack of Memorex and a
small pack of TDK (mainly to test) then subsequently read that some

made in Japan for serious archiving (of VHS tapes). I plan on using
Japanese media not Taiwanese for my own personal archiving. Any

I just said a big FU to those beasties and ran from them. They took too

When I get tired of a game. I will cheat, steal, murder and kill to finish
it. I have no moral dilemma using cheat codes. When a game has to be
finished it has to be finished by hook or by crook. I will!!!

I want to get good

Excellent. :-)

A dmr-e85h. What

All kinds.

Have any of your pannys
had problems with TDK media?

I haven't noticed anything, but I'm not sliding in my TDK discs to rewatch
what I have a lot either. It seems like these are the current new
ones (the TDK). Since I don't have an E85 I don't think I'll have anything
to worry about.

I bought a small pack of Memorex and a

Maxell seems pretty decent. Just a lil expensive. I've also tried Memorex.

I WOULD NOT GET ANY UBER CHEAP DVD's. A friend of mine tried to pimp me to

Riotek or something like that. Of course, his stupid ass never did it
either. It just seems stupid to be getting uber cheap crap to retain things
that you want to keep forever.

a Region 2 PAL disc. My aged DVD player still works and I'll continue

a 25 or 27 inch Samsung that I bought in 1996. It works fine and looks
great. I can't see replacing stuff that still works.

**I know the Philips 642 will churn through a lot of different
formats. It's relatively cheap, can be remote-hacked for different
regions, will convert PAL to NTSC and will do diff. formats. At the
hometheaterhifi website they have a page called Secrets Archive or
something like that. It's pretty technical but they test the crap out
of a bunch of different machines (from cheap to expensive). It's
really cool. Based on that, I bought the Magnavox over the Philips,
but if the Magnavox doesn't do it for me, I'll get the Philips. Yes, I

another dvd player it will be something like that. I don't think its a
Magnavox(SP?) though.

mmOldClunkermmmmmmm. I might get a new DVD player someday. Might not.

I just can't believe how much space is taken up on my DVD+R's. The fair
setting takes up the whole disc and you only get 30 minutes of
content!!!!!!!!!!! What the fuck is up with that??????????????? They are
other settings that take up more room than that with less
content!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've put mine in cold storage. I really don't know what to do with
it..... Give it to GoodWill or sell it?? Its probably worth $5
now..... So I might be charitable.....

**Save it!

I'll save it until I get a replacement for it.....

I know it's not going to crap out in a year. Doing some
reading/researching, there are some old VCRs that are in demand from
techies because they are old, reliable workhorses.

I'd feel weird about getting an old VCR.....

That sounds most excellent.

My old clunker is a Philips/Magnavox.

**Fair? Which recorder has that setting? As you know, XP is the best
(quality) speed on the Panasonic e85 and that's an hour on one disc. I
have noticed that some brick and mortar places are having good sales
on blank media. Office Depot (I think) has a 15-pk Maxell DVD-/+Rs for
$5. I think those -Rs are made in Japan, too. I think Best Buy has a
50-pk Sony DVD-/+Rs for $20. I love the holiday sales :)

**You know, I think I know what you mean, but where can I get a really
good, new VCR nowadays? I mean, I willing to pay for the dang thing!
If I get a S-VHS, is there a setting so that some of the tapes I
record can be played on a regular VCR?

Well..... tell me if it does......

**Okay, I *just* hooked it all up. It was a pain in the ass to get
behind my stereo equipment to hook it up :) so I procrastinated. It
looks and sounds great. Everything's the proper speed (soundwise and
visually). It's a Swedish DVD of the female half of Roxette, Marie
Fredriksson. The disc turned out to be an all region, though. I did
change the region on the player so it still should play R2s.

Bad thing: I tried one DVD-R on it and it had minor problems (tiny
hesitations). I have to do a little more experimenting BUT it doesn't
say anywhere on the box or literature that it's supposed to be able to
handle -R, it only mentions that it can play +R. So it's my fault. :)

Hmmm, Marie's got an awesome band and it's sounding great. I'm
groovin' as I write this!

**Well, that fell through. My sister got him a race track set that
races cars that are about 5-6 inches long. The cars look spectacular
but cost anywhere from $25 to many hundreds of dollars. While
researching it, I found an internet dealer (out of MI) that also had a
little storefront in an industrial complex near Detroit. I drove in
and found out if you shop there, they knock 20% off so I got him a
really cool car. :)

From what little I know about SVHS you can record normal tapes in them,
but they are just normal not "SVHS" quality.

**I was so peeved that I went to Best Buy that night and returned
it. Then I we

Well..... tell me if it does......
