The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

Reflections of a tired wolfleben:
I realized at the minimum I’ve watched Mad Max Fury Road twice a year since it came out. Partly cause I find it to be enjoyable to watch and the other part is a lot of films lack staying power. I don’t want to waste my time on popcorn films by rewatching. The films I rewatch have substance, staying power and pass the will I watch this in ten years.

Do waffles dream of butter?

I really don’t want to spoiler myself but I have to jump through the episodes to be able to give the video files proper names (and be able to watch them in the correct order). It’s the only annoyance when ripping: the file names are cryptic and not necessarily in order (example: The X-Files Event Series T03-4 might chronologically be before The X-Files Event Series T02-3). But at least with the X-Files some of the episodes have the location where the episode takes place right at the beginning. With the continuation of Twin Peaks all I can go by is the length of each episode…

Oh I know the pain of episodes not being in order and one case the episode being on their twice…
Intense staring at Person of Interest Blurays

Same with the X-Files blurays. Had to rip 2 episodes while watching cause I got other episodes twice. It’s annoying when you can only go by the file size and duration when ripping to tell episodes apart. Then again…they aren’t really intended for everyone to rip at home.
Putting them in folders sorted by season and disc makes it much easier to identify them, so there’s always a way to make things easier. Imagine doing that with 200 episodes in one folder, all named something like TV show XYZ T03-4 (1).mkv (and lots of (x) variables cause there’s one episode named like that on each disc).

There is a show that I manual have to spilt the episodes up cause they combined all the episodes into one file. I have the software and skills to do it but I haven’t finished it yet cause it takes a lot of time.

A bunch of shows do that. The Simpsons vary from season to season. One has individual files for each episode, another one has all episodes in one big file (fortunately with chapters), and another one has both. The last one I don’t understand. Just takes up space on the disc.

On a different note I’m going to be filming parts of my Review for Warframe later today.

Tried that once. But fast pace and “weird” camera position made me dizzy and gave me a headache :confused:

Working with Stardock (the people who made Ashes of the Benchmark, sins of a solar empire,etc) because reasons. But they have a big sale going on from now until June 20th)

Have some game codes to give away as well as an affiliate link to the sale… Not that I really expect a tin of people here to get the games, but I mean they are each $20 or $50 for all of them which is quite a decent sale… Though not like the humble bundle deals can be, but still, lol…

Fair enough. It does have a steep learning curve. Though not as much as the learning curve I had for becoming a wormhole pilot in EVE online.

Gaming news… Hitman 2…

It’s published by Warner Brothers but IO made it. Doesn’t appear to be episodic like the last one but one whole game. Wait for reviews.
