URL trick pumps up Youtube video quality?
JonDarkwood | 12:17 AM on 05.30.2008 15 comments


Apparently by adding &fmt=18 to the end of YouTube urls, it activates some feature that hasn't been implemented yet, improving the quality of both video and audio. On some videos it is more noticable than others -- It really depends on the source that was uploaded to begin with. If it was half decent in the first place, then you should be able to tell.

For an example see my Drawn to Life also cocks vid;

Normal

Abnormal

Isn't that just nifty. Too bad a simple snippet of code can't improve the quality of the content, or else there wouldn't be so many Linkin Park Naruto MSPaint Slideshow AMVs.

Confused yet? Read the character names on IMDB and you'll understand why.

IMDB: "The Lonely Ones"

NEW CONTEST: Guess which GameFAQs user wrote the script for this movie.

Wednesday Night Warcawks?
JonDarkwood | 5:55 PM on 01.23.2008 6 comments


I haven't seen a post about this yet. The one night I remember and totally have the time to play, and not a mention of it in sight.

I can host if I need to, just drop a line in these here comments. I think my server can hold 12.

Else: provide me with a link to whatever details i'm missing.

If I am hosting, give me until 7:30 to get set up, i'm grabbing a bite to eat then checking the comments.

An open letter to Bioware, Harmonix, and Activision
JonDarkwood | 10:52 AM on 12.30.2007 4 comments


Dear developers,

Please port Bioware to the Atari 2600+++ With Plaid Ray Disc Drive and Colecovision Solid Diamond Laser Vision Disc Optictron System and make the Guitar Hero III and Rock Band controllers cross-compatible with it. We are the gaming community so we can tell you what to do and we fully expect you to give a shit.

Signed,

Your mom and these other people:

Adobe makes me want to beat my head against a wall until it bleeds.
JonDarkwood | 7:33 PM on 12.10.2007 6 comments


I hate adobe. I hate the shit out of it.

I've been trying, with zero success, to find a recent stand-alone Flash player on their web site. I don't want my movies to open in Firefox or Internet Explorer. I want them to open in a happy little motherfucking window of their own, and they apparently don't want to give me that. Because of that, i've got a program that isn't running because it isn't detecting Flash Player as "installed."

Stupid motherfuckers, I hate you and your memory-whoring convoluted bullshit software.

I want Macromedia back.
