SPAM random annoying things

For 720p I look around 3-5gb. For 1080 anything 9-13 gb. Don't believe the 2gb 1080p things they aren't good quality

 

[Zarjazz]

What should I be looking for? High bit rates as a priority?

720p rips are typically 4-6GB in size. Going from 1280 x 720 pixels to 1920 x 1080 is a 2.25 increase in pixels. So all good 1080p rips should be between 9-13GB. However a lot of the shit 1080p rips are between 6-8GB, hence the fuzzy look.

LOTR extended editions are collectively 52GB for 1080p BD rips.

Using new Blu-Rays? Current dual layer is restricted to 50gb I thought. I know they are playing with 100gb and 200gb capacity disks but do not know of any film released on more than 50gb.

 

[Chilly]

Thats the size of the compressed rips of all 3 films together, not individually.

Ah got ya. Though I said it last year and I will say it again, The Hobbit part1 > LOTR. Already booked in for Smaug in 2 weeks

 

[caLLous]

Individually all 3 films span 2 discs so it's closer to 300gb all told.

Books being reprinted with their fucking TV art as the cover instead of the original, and the original being an absolute nightmare to find anywhere.

Going from this total bad ass of a cover:

to this utter turd:

Boils my piss.

 

[caLLous]

Ohhh yeah I do dislike that. I have most of Willard Price's Adventure series from when I were a lad and I've been looking for 1 or 2 that I'm missing with the same original covers so it's a nice complete set but it's bloody impossible. They've been reprinted about a shitload of times since then and the more recent covers are just awful.

(ok it's not the same thing but I do wish they wouldn't change the covers for reprints)

 

[Billargh]

Still counts!

Similarly I had just about every box set of South Park on DVD, in a thick cardboard sleeve, then they suddenly re released them all in standard plastic DVD cases while I was still missing a few Stopped giving a shit about having them all after that.

 

[caLLous]

I bet that would piss you off. They actually did it deliberately because Monk had OCD in the show.

I think that it would do many people's head in...

 

[CorNokZ]

Even if I was a huge fan of the show never buy that set. My head would explode

Weirdly I think I used to be quite OCD in a "don't step on the cracks in the pavement" kind of way; and then for some reason, in my mid-twenties it just...stopped. Now the asymmetry of that actually pleases me.

I have some weird ocds and I should thank my dads love of Hilaire Belloc for that.... ;/

Stupid people who dont understand what a slip road is for.

Nearly went into the back of some mong because he sat at the very end of one and couldn't build up speed to get out. He then stopped dead on a duel carrageway.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Getting put in solo offlane as a hard support while two carries take hardlane, one goes mid and one in the jungle.

(I do know that most won't know what the balls i'm talking about )

 

[Edmond]

Dicks who take a slip road that is also a filter lane, then they get to the end and stop to see if there's any traffic coming.......cocks!!

 

[rynnor]

Cyclist riding along on the right hand side of the road because hes turning right at the bottom of the road.

He then proceeds up that road still on the right lol.

He didn't really look continental

 

[mooSe_]

Some cunt keeps setting the fucking fire alarm off every 15 minutes. I've got loads of work to do so fuck off.

Did you check if there's a fire at any point?

 

[mooSe_]

It's like some boy who cried wolf shit here. They set off this fire alarm all the fucking time for no reason with no warning. If there is ever actually a real fire everyone is going to die because we will just assume its another one of their constant tedious tests or malfunctions or whatever the fuck they think they're doing.

We played a game the other day where Pudge was bot with Doom, and Faceless was Mid, priceless.

 

[mooSe_]

I don't think I could stand playing mobas without an organised team of people I knew weren't retarded. And since I don't have an organised team I don't play.

I think the fire alarms have stopped, but I'm constantly on edge now in case they come back.

 

[Yoni]

The fact that we are in December and there is no snow in Stockholm ;(.

 

[Scouse]

Stupid people who dont understand what a slip road is for.

Well, if people would actually use the term acceleration lane instead...

Updating my phone to 4.3 and I can't figure out how to customize my lock screen any more

 

[Billargh]

What a load of arse, I can now swipe right on my lock screen and add a single widget, even if it's a 1x1 widget it takes up a 4x4 space on it. What a fucking ridiculous idea.

Why would I want more than one lock screen? I just want my customized clock widget on my lock screen.
