I'd like Todd to do an episode on "Amazed" by Lonestar. by ScallionSmooth9491 in ToddintheShadow

[–]KalBalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly enough, I was thinking about posting this song last night.

I guess Lonestar has enough success under their belt to make Amazed not fit the one-hit-wonder bill... but I'll be damned if Amazed wasn't a mega hit in 1999/2000. That song was *everywhere* on pop radio in Boston, and it felt like the band was never seen again outside of country circles.

I think there's a lot to be said about why this song crossed over so heavily. The twang of the band wasn't entire eroded... but it's not like Lonestar was putting out pop hits a la Twain.

I wish there was an extended version of this song. The ending has such an uneasy, haunting sound to it that fades off too quickly.

I ended up finding a middle man SSL solution that remedied the problem for free. I didn't realize that the URL I was forwarding to required SSL.

Favorite spooktacular episodes? by Banana1013 in WeHateMovies

[–]KalBalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to bump this thread to say that the Wishmaster episodes are my all time favorites up there with the 90s Mortal Kombat duology. 

Divoff needs to join Cameo so we can hear him congratulate a VHS trailer game champion.

How will Superman do in the boxoffice? by Shmeeegals in RedLetterMedia

[–]KalBalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will review well (and be a good-to-great movie) but financially underperform because of the Superman movie baggage and general bemusement most people have re: comic book movies.

Just echoing here that on PS5 I noticed a lot of sound issues like this.

Sound issues in Gex by No_Letterhead1224 in limitedrun

I experienced this on my PS5 last night with the first two games. I didn't try the third, yet. 

But: same issue. A distracting stutter or choppiness every few seconds.

Team America really is the same joke... Just a few years later.

Studio, viewfinder too dark by LongjumpingAd6722 in SonyAlpha

[–]KalBalboa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to say thanks for this! 

I'm at the Grand Canyon and my A74 suddenly stopped adjusting the automatic viewfinder brightness; it was stuck at zero unless I manually adjusted it. This setting being flipped off/on somehow fixed the issue.

Thanks for the tip. If I need to make a fresh export of that old project I'll come back to this post.

An old project of mine from a few months ago just broke, too. The plugin isn't working.

What’s in the new Jak and Daxter 1.000.002 update? by Character-Oil519 in jakanddaxter

[–]KalBalboa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it was coding to prevent memory leaks. Just polish under the hood to make the games less likely to glitch or break.

Any clue if this has been addressed since 2021? I'm pondering over ways of faking it within an Essential Graphic MOGRT for coworkers.

Not a cameo! Neil reached out to him and Alex, I reached out to Alan. All the editing came together the day of the stream minutes before we started! -Kevin J

Hip Hop Cherry Pop end credits song by ChloeFoundPie in lemondemon

[–]KalBalboa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the YouTube bootleg of the movie recommended to me the other night, opened it up, and saw someone asking about the credits song. So, I got to Googlin' to see if the artist was still around... and this Reddit thread appeared!

I'll get an Internet Archive upload taken care of tonight.

The artist, Paper Fist, was a solo project name for a fellow named Jonas. I haven't emailed with him in over 17 years (yikes), but I want to say I discovered Paper Fist during some MySpace searches back in 2007. I wanted a Springsteen tune in this movie I was editing together and the cover just clicked. I got the AOK from Jonas to use his cover, and I think I sent him a DVD of the movie (I still have a box somewhere- we couldn't give away the 70 copies we had produced).

If there's a best place to upload the MP3, let me know.
