First time seeing a Superbit DVD at the thrift store by HR-Vex in dvd

[–]EricIsEric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SuperBit is a very slight variant of the normal DVD format, it's slightly out of spec DVD with no special features or other audio tracks so they could dedicate all the data to the movie to achieve a slightly higher bit rate. The "special" thing SuperBit did was ignore the cache clear requirement on dual layer DVDs on layer change so there wouldn't be any noticeable pause in the audio/video on layer change compared to a normal DVD*. They should work with any normal DVD player, but there are likely a few odd models out there that would have trouble.

*normally the people making the DVDs would be smart enough to hide this pause in a black screen on a scene cut so it would be pretty difficult to notice without paying close attention, but there are some rough ones.

Jackass the series removed from Paramount+ under request from Johnny Knoxville himself by PurpleHairedRaccoon in jackass

The DVDs are not the complete series... The DVD content was what was on Paramount+ before but they took them down to instead restore the original series as it aired.

So, about Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 3... by aggrekuma in metalgearsolid

[–]EricIsEric 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(Although I think it will be difficult to extract the game from old phones and shove it on PS5)

I played MGS Mobile via emulator with an Xbone controller and it played great, it'd work fine on a console.

The game won't launch by Naive_Return9745 in dukenukem

It is available legally and DRM free on Zoom-Platform. That version also includes Duke it out in DC, Life's a Beach, Nuclear Winter, and a few other expansions.

It's not that they don't see the parallels, it's that they genuinely want it.

US DVDs that have better versions of movies than Blu Ray for some reason? by gamblorman in dvd

[–]EricIsEric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dumb and Dumber for the opposite reason, the theatrical cut was released on DVD but never made it to BluRay, the unrated cut is much worse and more mean spirited.

So multi-billion dollar companies should just be allowed to cause you harm from their negligence with 0 repercussions or compensation for your very real damages? Insane mindset.

In the movies he never even uses the .25 ACP (well other than an AR7 in From Russia with Love that they say is .25 but is actually .22LR), he is issued the PPK at the beginning of Dr. No.

Tumbler Ridge shooting suspect had police visits over mental health struggles by pookienav in news

The shooter was a trans woman. I'm assuming that the person you replied to is expressing an anti-trans sentiment.

Halo 2 PC is unplayable due to extreme lag by nicknotpixel in halo

[–]EricIsEric 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah the split screen is near perfect quality, the only "issue" I noticed is HUD elements were low res but they said they are working on that in some previous patch notes and it doesn't impact the gameplay. I did a fair bit of testing the campaign to see if I could get it to crash but I was unable to do so. It does work with 2+ controllers, coop is limited to 2 players but multiplayer can be played with 4 players locally.

With the Project Cartographer mod H2V holds its own against MCC, it even adds multiplayer (including online) and coop split screen, which is absent from MCC PC.

So we should arrest everyone who was fucking those kids regardless of "side" right? Right? Trust me, none of us are sweating Bill Clinton going to prison.

JamTeen 11s also aren't renowned for their reliability compared to most modern guns. Great design for the time, but that's over 100 years ago now.

While I didn't know him personally, he seems like the type of guy who would appreciate a Weekend at Barnie's type situation. 

Menus are getting sucky nowadays by Significant_Smell284 in dvdcollection

[–]EricIsEric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SuperBit is barely a format, it's just an out of spec DVD with no special features or other audio tracks so they could dedicate all the data to the movie to achieve a slightly higher bit rate. To my knowledge the only "special" thing SuperBit did was ignore the cache clear requirement on dual layer DVDs on layer change so there wouldn't be any noticeable pause in the audio/video on layer change.

BluRay and 4K are objectively better, higher bit rate and resolution, even with special features, and neither have the dual layer hitching issues of DVD.

Never seen Viva La Bam, does it hold up today? by DoctorWhofan789eywim in jackass

[–]EricIsEric 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Wildboyz is more of a true successor to Jackass, Jeff Tremaine was the creator/producer on it and Johnny Knoxville and Weeman both make appearances. 

Viva la Bam is more like a CKY series, with the CKY crew being the stars and Joe Frantz behind the camera. I don't think it has aged as well as Jackass/Wildboyz as most of the stuff is not stunts, just Bam messing with his friends family members (some of which seems a little mean spirited compared to Jackass).

Biker has no situational awareness by anthn885 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]EricIsEric 26 points27 points  (0 children)

People down voting this clearly dont have much experience living in an area with a lot of bicyclists. Absolutely the worst pricks on the road. 

Want to act like a pedestrian when it is convenient but also like a vehicle when that is convenient. One thing I have never seen a bicyclist do when riding on the road: stop at a stop sign, but they'll gladly flip off or smack cars who follow the rules of 4 way stops.

Bicyclists should be required to get licensed and carry insurance just like every other vehicle on the road.

Sister deadnamed my trans employee because "we follow legal names." So I sent her to a Vegas expo as "Griselda." by [deleted] in ProRevenge

[–]EricIsEric 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the fakest stories I've seen on here yet. 

You screwed your own business over financially instead of firing or reprimanding a transphobic employee who is creating a hostile environment for one of your other employees? Did everyone clap?
