Re: My harddrive died
Damn. Sorry to hear that, man.:( Data loss is always incredibly frustrating. How big was the drive? Coincidentally, I just had a Seagate drive fail in my NAS last week. That system was setup in a redundant RAID configuration, so I didn't lose any data or even have to take it offline, but having to s...

Re: KR Gotchard 31 thread
Well, that was an episode. Last week's episode was not very good, which did not give this one much to build off of. And to be fair, it wasn't terrible , but it succeeds as much as it does in spite of itself. Mostly for the stuff involving Spanner & Co at the end. Pretty much anything involving I...

Re: Boonboomger 07 discussion thread
The plot on this was a little happy-go-lucky. But not bad overall. Between this and Black's intro episode, this is arguably the stronger one of the two despite not taking things nearly as seriously. For better or worse, this episode doesn't put a lot of effort into justifying why Orange needs to joi...

Re: Hades Sisters' Incomplete Project 02
Huh. I had forgotten that Gotchard 24 was a clip show. And not in a sense of forgiveness, but due to the sheer trauma of it all.
Meanwhile, the side project continues to be as meta as all hell.

Re: KR Gotchard 30 thread
Not a whole lot to add to this one that hasn't already been said. The plot is plenty serviceable, however it's built on an emotional structure that is not really there - or at least, hasn't been clearly demonstrated in the past. So Rinne suddenly getting jealous over Ichinose is hard to buy, and thu...

More or less correct. Especially if they're moving independently in different directions.

Re: Testing 265 encoding (cq 26 added, cq 30 deleted)
Man Boon, stop spiking all those bitrates. I see one in the opening and in the ending is particularly hungry for bitrates That is rather on the nose. As far as the OP goes, one of the highest bitrate scenes is the bit with Boon dancing amid all the little drawings of himself. I'm not entirely sure ...

Re: Testing 265 encoding (cq 26 added, cq 30 deleted)
So on a lark, I plotted the video bitrate of this week's releases: Boonboomger 06 and Gotchard 30. https://i.imgur.com/RTU5G1T.png Although the video bitrate is not a perfect proxy for scene complexity, it's pretty darned close. So this is rather illustrative of where all that additional bitrate is ...

Re: Boonboomger 06 discussion thread
Even though this was a simpler (and darn-near filler) episode than last week's, I liked it more. It didn't have anything to prove, so it could just run with the characters. Mad Rex is an interesting addition, but this episode doesn't actually establish too much about him. His main purpose in this ep...

Re: Boonboomger 05 discussion thread
Oh, I initially was like "but one of the things that impressed me about this suit is that the robo does have fingers". But yeah, those guns are firmly attached. I'm guessing those fingers aren't articiulated and are basically holes for attaching weapons, like the toy? I'd assume they just...

Re: Kamen Rider Outsiders Ep 4 Zein's True Identity
Yeah they announced it yesterday (oh so that's why). New Outsiders is May 28th Oh, ha! I guess my timing was on point after all. I had no idea they had just announced something. :lol: Thanks for the heads up. To be fair, the past april fools were just an excuse to bring Mr Genm to chew the scenery....

Re: Kamen Rider Outsiders Ep 4 Zein's True Identity
Apologies for bumping an old thread, but has Toei announced anything about the next episode yet? For the previous 3 years we've always gotten something Genm/Outsiders related as an April Fool's promotion, so I'm wondering if they did something for 2024.

Re: Boonboomger 05 discussion thread
I'm a bit late in writing this up, but I only found this episode to be okay. It was entertaining enough, I suppose, but it was lacking something to really make it great. The plot is by and large the standard "I want to be a hero" plot for having a new ranger join the team. They have the sk...
