revisiting tivo commercials...

posted by (tkurc) on 2003-11-05 23:17:38 [#594]
tkurcIf I knew people were tivo'ing my show I'd contact tivo and find out how to make adverts look good in fast fwd
 
W-ooh, great idea
 
tkurcprobably do something cool for all teh levels of fast
tkurcit would probably work for tivo too, they could license the technology
tkurci pray tivo doesn't go out of business
 
W-they seem to be becoming a very mainstream product
 
tkurcsee, if you have commercials look cool, but different in the each of the bloop boop levels of fast, then some may watch the advert thricely
tkurcIf I was a patent happy monkey, I would patent this and GIVE it to tivo
 
W-a key to making it work is ensuring you reset to an appropriate keyframe at the beginning of a fastforward command
 
tkurclike the technology doesn't exist for this..
 
W-its no more than a sunday afternoon's work
 
tkurcyou know what my least favorite sound in the world is?
 
W-something tivo related, i'd assume?
 
tkurcthe BLONG when there is no more bloop boop available

tkurc|homenever would I have guessed that THIS was the caption...
tkurc|homeA Vodou believer pours hot pepper-spiced homemade alcohol on her genital area
 
W-... Is she using a funnel?
W-And where is the drainage? Is there just going to be a puddle left where she stands?
W-Perhaps thats why she's drawn a crowd... the lust of the poor for free booze, albeit booze that has touched both filthy crotch and filthy ground.
W-And man, everyone sure is wearing alot of white
W-Perhaps this is some strange marriage ceremony
W-The woman is marrying her crotch and that spicy voodoo booze.
W-In the voodoo sense, what do you think makes her "more holy"... more booze, or spicier booze?
W-Quality or quantity, where do the voodoo gods lie in the crotch-booze-dousing debate?
 
tkurc|homespicier
 
W-Perchance this is a form of birth control... although it would be weird to put your clothes on to perform such a ceremony
 
tkurc|homespicier bring more pain to the table
 
W-The crotch table?
 
tkurc|homethe pain table
 
W-I'd wager that standing up is the way to inflict the least pain... performing this ceremony while standing on your head, however...
W-Where pools of booze can form in the crotchal region...
 
tkurc|homemaybe she is wearing a watertight underpants ensemble
tkurc|homekeeping that delicious alcohol in
 
W-Marinating the crotch?
W-So after she does this, whats next... sit around a minute... socialize? Get on the bus and go home? With pants covered in alcohol all over your crotch? I'm not sure if she's really thought this through to conclusion
W-Maybe she has a shower and a new pair of pants nearby?
 
tkurc|homeI think water makes alcohol burn worse
 
W-Ok, fine. Pop quiz, hot shot. You've just poured hot spicy alcohol on your crotch.. what do you do next, WHAT DO YOU DO?
 
tkurc|homeI get a time machine, and go back in time, and tell myself how dumb what I was about to do was
 
W-I'm sorry, the answer we were looking for was "Pay the boy five cents to lick it off of you."

Big Problem if TiVos and other PVRs become ubiquitous in the future...

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-28 22:54:06 [#578]
W-The idea of "ratings" for shows become very difficult to measure
W-Traditional Nielsen Ratings track what show you're tuned to
W-I record a lot of shows that I don't ever have time to watch
W-So then, you say, only record the ratings if you actually watch the show
W-Well then, the TV industry is used to getting "overnight" ratings: me waiting four days to watch something screws that up
W-And fundamentally, those are used to sell advertisements...
W-In a PVR-ubiquitous future, multiple areas of the TV paradigm are greatly perturbed.
W-It will only make sense to play intertial ads during programming thats watched real-time, most often sporting events
W-(which also can't be played without commercial due to the delays inherent to the games)
W-Even better, while pondering TV paradigm shifts: imagine a future where TV shows are downloaded to your PVR in real-time over IP, the idea of "channels" becomes obsolete as we distance further from RF technology. In that future, there might not be any channels at all, you purchase per show, basically all television becomes on-demand pay-per-view
W-But I'm sure there'd be package deals that would fundamentally be similar to today's channels
W-Imagine how this would change cult-favorite shows. Instead of getting cancelled because they don't bring in enough advertising revenue, the show is able to price itself directly to the audience.
W-Like educational videos that cost $150, when a show has a small audience, the price per person must increase
W-But instead of such shows inevitably failing in today's environment, a financially motivated enough audience can keep a show from cancellation
W-So in the end, PVRs free the audience from commercials, but now must pay for their TV with hard cash instead of spending time watching mindless commercials. For those who value time over money, its a good thing... for others...

tkurc|homethen again, he's just edging out dante hall
 
W-I find it disturbing that Jamal Lewis isn't listed
 
tkurc|homeno kidding. distinct lack of RBs
 
W-As ESPN.com's team of ex-WR and ex-QB analysts will tell you, RBs are not needed in the National Football League
 
tkurc|homefor reference: holmes,14.5; hall,15.8; manning,15; mcnair,36.4; moss,18.1
tkurc|homewheres... STEPHEN DAVIS?
 
W-Davis and Lewis are must-list RBs
W-Is there not a single defensive player having a good year?
W-Generally they at least list one token defensive player
 
tkurc|homeI'd give it to suggs and boulware.
tkurc|homethey're the MVP of tonytainment
 
W-That sounds like an industry just waiting to boom.... and then crash horribly
 
tkurc|homeI actually think the defensive player making the biggest impact may be Dre Bly
tkurc|homeed reed having a good year also. but he's more a product of the system

W-Newly signed Jarious Jackson could get the start as 3rd stringer Danny Kanell has the flu
W-Wide receiver Rod Smith is Denver's emergency quarterback.
W-But Jackson is coming down with a cold: Jackson said he is taking medicine to try to reduce the discomfort of an oncoming cold.
W-I'd imagine that Vegas doesn't know what to do with the line...
W-However, I'd wager on the under, regardless of the O/U
W-On Page2, two casinos are posting no line, no O/U...
W-The other two: Ravens by 1.5, Ravens by 2. O/U of 38, O/U of 37.
W-A 20-18 game...
 
tkurcI'll take the under. I'd also take the bet that they go with no QB and just snap the ball to portis

Wired News: Orgasmatron Puts Tech in Sex

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-24 21:39:11 [#570]
W-Apologies for using Wired as the source on this...
W-Applied 10 to 20 minutes before sex, the company says the device's gentle, pulsating current brings its wearer to a state of sexual readiness, where the "slightest touch" can trigger an orgasm.
W-"As a journalist, I didn't have much faith in the product going into it, but it changed my mind," Patterson continued. "It warms the oven. It brings women to the one-yard line.... It's a wonderful product. I think the world of it."
W-The company said the Slightest Touch was invented by accident. One of the four co-inventors, who are being kept anonymous, was trying to develop an electrical foot massager. Using his girlfriend as a test subject, the prototype didn't do so much for her feet, but it did stimulate her sexually, Comparini said.
W-I think that if Tony and I were to put our intellects towards this type of endeavor, the results could be limitless
 
tkurc|homecan we use your mom as the test subject?
 
W-We need to start with animals... your dog
 
tkurc|homeI didn't realize you were into that kind of thing
tkurc|homecough pervert cough

tkurcI mean, if you're going to trial for rape, do you really want Tyson on your side?
tkurc"He is not guilty. Much like me!"
 
W-I don't think Tyson is arguing that Kobe is innocent: he's arguing that rape rocks and shouldn't be a reason to put anyone in jail
W-He's pro-rape, not pro-kobe
 
tkurcdon't forget child-eating
 
W-Tyson could be selling some Kobe, for free
W-frankly, i think in that photo, tyson isn't expressing any opinion, he's just trying to decide between two fonts
 
tkurc|homewouldn't he be looking at the cards if he was deciding between them? I think he's playing a psychic game.
 
W-he is looking at them! he's peeking upwards
W-his disfigured boxers face makes it a tad tricky to notice...
 
tkurc|homeyour claim is that he can see the font
tkurc|hometyson has magic invisible periscopes or something?
 
W-He can see through his skull
W-You mean you can't?
 
tkurc|homemaybe only people that enjoy dog porn can
 
W-I think the left sign is much more "fun", and definitely portrays the idea of giving away Kobe at zero-cost
 
tkurc|home"free kobe! it will be fun!" versus "Freeing Kobe is the intelligent thing to do"
 
W-no, more like "Free Kobe: Bring one home for the kids, no charge!" versus "Rape is great, don't you agree?"
W-Really, Tyson probably just put a big pre-season bet on the Lakers and just wants to not lose his bet
 
tkurc|homeso if you make a bet a year in advance, and you declare bankrupcy between the bet and the game... wonder what would happen
 
W-I know one thing, you don't go from pro-rape to anti-rape!

tkurcDisgaea is like a combination of XCOM/Puzzle Fighter/Final Fantasy 1
 
W-Anytime "colored bonus squares" are involved, you're not dealing with a strategy RPG
 
tkurcwell, this game is right up my alley
 
W-I'm still enjoying Lionheart, the perfect combination of Morrowind and Diablo
 
tkurcbasically, one plans an attack, then watches it unfold
tkurcits like puzzlefighter in that respect
tkurcits like xcom in the way one plans the attack
tkurcits like final fantasy in the way one builds a team
 
W-with such simple archetypes?
W-a purely-combat version of XCOM is not nearly as good... the key part about XCOM was that the results of your combat resulted in increased goods, and abilities, and the research and money, etc. that you then used in later combat... the perfect mix of strategic and tactical gameplay
W-And its great creepy mood
 
tkurcI liked the combat!
 
W-Its fantastic, but its not the whole story
W-Saying a game has XCOM-like combat doesn't mean it has XCOM-quality
 
tkurcwell, the way one must carefully plan the combat is more like xcom than many of the other strategy games

What penalty would be called if ...

W-On a kick-off, they just picked up the ball with their hands and ran the ball
 
tkurc|homewho is they?
 
W-First, the kicking team, and second, a player
 
tkurc|homeprobably delay of game, and/or unsportsmanlike conduct
 
W-Huh.
W-If the kicking then fumbled the ball and the other team recovered, could they turn down the penalty and take posession?
 
tkurc|homeno
tkurc|homeits similar to when the ball blows off the tee
tkurc|homewhen it blows off a third time, you get a penalty
tkurc|homeI think the same penalty would apply
 
W-Gotcha: anything less than kicking the ball doesn't result in "a play" its simply fucking around
W-Penalty. On the kicking team, number #35. Fucking around. 10 yard penalty, re-kick the ball.

Study finds taller people earn on average $789 per inch more than shorter people

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-19 12:31:46 [#562]
W-And no, they didn't include basketball players :P
W-"If you take this over the course of a 30-year career and compound it, we're talking about literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of earnings advantage that a tall person enjoys," Judge said.
W-The relationship between height and earnings was particularly strong in sales and management but was also present in less social occupations such as engineering, accounting and computer programming, the study found.
W-The average height of Americans is 5 feet 9 inches for men and nearly 5 feet 4 inches for women.
W-I didn't realize just how short women are!
 
tkurcindeed!
 
W-Or maybe there's like a 1-inch woman who's bringing down the average
 
tkurcwonder if they have a study for penis size too

Kids comment on classic video games

posted by (W-) on 2003-10-17 23:04:50 [#560]
W-Stealing this item from DWL because they did such a horrible job of commenting on it
W-"Tim" makes some unbelievable comments in this
W-On Pong: Tim: My line is so beating the heck out of your stupid line. Fear my pink line. You have no chance. I am the undisputed lord of virtual tennis. [Misses ball] Whoops.
W-On Donkey Kong: Tim: Mario dies way too easy. Oh, grab the umbrella. Those are cool. Unfashionable, gay, but cool. Oh, 300 points. That's it? All you get is points? That's lame. Can't you do something with the umbrella?
W-On Asteroids: Tim: This is nothing compared to Grand Theft Auto III, because you can't steal a taxi cab, pick up somebody, then drive into the ocean with him.
 
tkurcthis goes back to my whole "games are too easy now"
tkurcthey want shortcuts!
tkurcmachineguns in space invaders! special blocks in tetris!

this, which I found on fark, is a very interesting and well thought out article

tkurc|homeIÕll probably still be playing video games as they wheel nursing home. In fact, looking at todayÕs games already makes me feel like a cantankerous old man. TheyÕre three times as easy, they let you save your progress whenever you want, and if you canÕt afford one of the game's 18 strategy guides you can look up hints online. And still people complain about games being too hard.
tkurc|homevideo games are so easy now, they're not as much fun!
tkurc|homebeating a game used to be a challenge. something to brag about
tkurc|homebattletoads was such an amazingly difficult game
tkurc|homewould I play it if it was easier? probably not.
 
W-Mainly, its because game producers don't like the idea of spending time and effort on content that only 1% of customers enjoy
 
tkurc|homegames should not be made so the producers have a nice day
 
W-Then perhaps you should move to Mars
 
tkurc|homeI can't breathe very well there
tkurc|homeasthma
 
FoibaYeah, games were more difficult in the past but there also weren't as many good ones
Foibayou could afford to spend time mastering a game back then. Now there's just too many games out there, they have to get a little easier.
 
tkurcso they make the games easier so that they can dilute the market with crap?

tkurc|homein football, letting the other team score so you can get the ball back
tkurc|homeas seen in the Superbowl against Denver, I think
 
W-Wasn't there a game last year that was the opposite? Accepting a penalty that took away a touchdown so that you could run down the clock?
 
tkurc|homeheh, I'd do that too
tkurc|homeif you could guarantee victory by running down the clock, DO IT
tkurc|homelike, if all you have to do is kneel

Special teams is getting worse and worse

posted by (tkurc|home) on 2003-10-11 12:44:52 [#551]
tkurc|homeaside from the returning part, man, special teams seems to be a lost art
 
W-Its because all the good athletes don't want to get hurt doing something that isn't going to boost their draft status, contract extensions or stats
 
tkurc|homesad
 
W-Also, with increasingly complex offensive and defensive schemes, coaches are spending less effort and practice time on special teams
