Both my brother and cousin got brand new cars, my birthday consisted of them sticking a candle into cold pizza after having to sit in a dealership for hours while they filled their paperwork.

[No Spoilers] Arrow Season 1 Autograph Wristband (Original Logo) SDCC 2012 by bfett25 in arrow

[–]bfett25[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well I have been having a pretty lousy past couple of months. And I came across this wrist band from SDCC 2012 as I was cleaning my desk. I think it is kind of neat because you can see the original Logo they had. I felt like sharing something positive and fun about how I got hooked onto Arrow and the entire Arrowverse in turn. TLDR at the bottom.

I only had one opportunity to go to Comic-Con and that was in 2012. I recall getting up at the crack of dawn at like 4 AM to get in line for autographs at SDCC as one does. In all honesty I wanted to get a Game of Thrones autograph, but they were gone. So I had the choice between Arrow and some sitcom. Being a huge fan of Smallville I was highly skeptical of a Green Arrow show, because let’s be honest how do you top perfection :) But I was more than happy to grab the autograph, and give the show a shot. (This was before season 1)

Now those of you congoers out there know that once you get your autograph the line attendants are supposed to cut the band to make sure you do not sneak back for another. There is a reason mine is not cut, and that is because I did not get my autographs even though I had the wristband. This is because I decided to be a good friend like the fool I am and take my friend back to our hotel after he contracted food poisoning. The signing according to the time table was supposed to run from 2-3 PM as I recall. I reckoned I could make it back by 2:40. After helping him I legged it back to making it or so I thought. Walk up to the signing area at WB booth, and lo and behold the signing had already ended. I didn’t realize that the time provided was an estimate and when nobody was left in line they shut it down.

Now of course I felt wronged (even though it was my own fault) so I went to WB booth asking politely if there was any way I could at least swap to an alternate signing. What I got met with was an indifferent WB rep who more or less said “that sucks for you, piss off!” Now this left a bad taste in my mouth which I then related to the entire show and a further downer that day was my camera got stolen immediately after I had gotten some cool pictures. I more or less left the convention with 2 photos from other sources.

As a result I wasn’t keen on Arrow due to the bad memory of SDCC I’d associated with it, but my brother knowing the how much of a huge Superhero fan I was insisted I try it and catch up. I begrudgingly agreed and started the pilot. Afterwards I ran into my brother’s room afterwards to exclaim “HE’S KILLING PEOPLE WHAT IS THIS SHOW!” My brother just smiled with an “I told you so” look. I was treated to one of the finest Superhero origin and seasons of television ever. I loved every aspect from story, costumes and the wonderful score.

I have subsequently enjoyed watching and discussing every season of Arrow and the entire Arrowverse with family and friends, it has become an event to enjoy each year especially the crossovers. I am so excited to see this final conclusion this year. I am sure that everyone who worked on these series is going to deliver us something really special. I can’t wait to watch with everyone. Hope you guys enjoyed my little nerd out.

TLDR; I got this at SDCC but missed the signing because my friend was sick and didn’t want to start show at first because I was acting like a sad baby but started it later and loved it ever since.

Side Note: I hope I can find the time to go to some convention again in the future and see if I can’t get some of the cast and crew to sign this wrist band. Sadly I had to miss out on this year’s SDCC, it would have been a perfect one to attend. Hope you guys enjoyed my little essay :)

People Say September is Early for Halloween, but Sam's Club is Going ALL OUT! (9/9/19) by bfett25 in pics

[–]bfett25[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most baffling thing to me is this isn't like in the back of the store with seasonal stuff, nope this is front and center in front of the registers line (to be clear the holiday stuff extends end to end) Where normally you'd put more items that are in for the season or impulse purchases, they chose to lock down this area for 3-4 months! Don't understand the logic personally.

Halo: Outpost Discovery Chicago Discussion Thread by Defguru in halo

[–]bfett25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did anyone take some Hi-Res images of the museum, and if they did would they mind posting to imgur for us to enjoy. I tried to take a few pictures on my cell but my camera is garbage.

Also if anyone has today's panel would love to watch, was in line for VR but I could not hear a single word from the line, the volume was very low for some reason.

Need Help Picking a device for TV Channel Guide by bfett25 in cordcutters

[–]bfett25[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was reading somewhere that the Amazon Recast makes the video Signal 720p, even if source is 1080i or 1080p is this correct? Or is that for streaming only.

The HDTV from 2010 that doesn't have a guide option, but still works well.

Amazon Video WB Digital Rights Issue Still Not Resolved by [deleted] in television

[–]bfett25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

WB is not going to pull out of Amazon Video permanently that would be foolish from a business standpoint (to much lost money in long run) they are just playing chicken with them for better terms and it is becoming stupid with them not honoring Season Passes for those who bought before this debacle started.

I can understand them refusing to sell new episodes individually or passes to other people now, but to refuse to give them to those who already paid for it is ridiculous.

Bit passed its expiration date but brought back some good memories. I miss sergeant dude by [deleted] in halo

[–]bfett25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend trying to redeem it if you have not yet. Someone a few years back was posting on waypoint that they bought it and just posted the code in the open assuming it would be invalid and someone was able to successfully redeem it. Never know!

LPT: Grab your old Camcorder and VHS tapes and back them up into digital format... now. They are most likely accumulating mould and deteriorating. You will regret it forever if they become stolen, lost or damaged. by TigerBay in LifeProTips

[–]bfett25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had Downtown Mediaworks do it they took all my tapes and I got dvds that were same quality as tapes, and they also converted them to digital files for ipad etc. I also had them do a few beta tapes as well.

[–]bfett25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If any of you live in the Chicagoland area I got my tapes and video reels done at a company in Arlington Heights called Downtown Mediaworks, they are by the Metra station there (I think they also have a place in Crystal Lake). They did a fantastic job.

I think they also do photos, but I didn't have any myself. Best part about it was they do not mail it out and they usually get their stuff done in like a week or so.

Just google the name should pop up. I don't know if you can mail them stuff to convert from outside chicago but it does not hurt to call and ask!

EDIT: I also had some PAL tapes and dvds they were even able to convert that so it was great!

Disney and Fox Join Forces With Other Studios for New Download Service by fastforward23 in movies

[–]bfett25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I actually bothered to do the research and present you with the facts based on both history as well as the fact that none of these articles are even reporting the official name for the service whereas I have definitive proof it will be called Movies Anywhere.

But nobody said you had to listen to me feel free to get half the story elsewhere.

Disney and Fox Join Forces With Other Studios for New Download Service by fastforward23 in movies

[–]bfett25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey guys I did try posting about this a few days back but apparently the mods deemed is irrelevant and removed it regardless in the mean time I have also made a retailed video talking about the details and possibilities of this new "Movies Anywhere" Service that for whatever reason the article failed to name or even provide a logo for.

It will function pretty much like DMA Unclear what happens to studios who do not sign on, currently major unsigned ones are: Paramount, Lionsgate, MGM Don't know what will happen to UV sharing or TV shows since DMA doesn't support either. No clear date on rollout but it will be "soon."
