so basically we're grabbing gold without even losing a game... i mean, now that I think about it, it's actually not bad at all 😁

nah, I didn't mean the same idiot... I meant PBS rather than NPR... my bad—

Jerko's at it again—classic him 🙂

Jason Foster7 said:chill out, man 🙄

Man, seriously—that ESPN commentator just doubled down and claimed he’s the "only one of the three Zeppelins who actually pulled off the double act"???
maybe his eyesight is just better than ours?

The Swedes still aren't giving those Icelanders an inch—not even close at 24:17, 43rd minute

8:5

things aren't going great—honestly

Is that Led Zeppelin playing again?
...just catching the radio broadcast

Right now, the Swedes are absolutely shredding Iceland—it’s like 16-8 and there's still 4 minutes left in the first half

looks like I totally blew it—I’m actually shaking from the nerves here...
but honestly, it’s such a rush. especially when we pull off the win at the end...

Raymond Palmer8 said:glad I missed the stream... gotta go check it out myself

wait, who even said that?
all good again...

Probably better I didn't catch the stream... guess I'll just head over in person

Sorry if I'm out of the loop here—but what kind of massive hole is that in our defense?

well, on ESPN they’ll probably mix the French and Polish teams with our guys and the Americans.

it'll be streaming online (first time we get to see our boys on this tournament)

you'll need a media player

edit: stream started up—picture quality is awesome...

man, whatever...
just like those studies claiming vegetarians live longer... yeah right... they just look older....

A former Ferrari driver passed away today in a car wreck near Parma, Italy.
Mario Andretti crashed his modified Chrysler Voyager (back in 1980, he was knocked out right there on the track after hitting a truck) and died from his injuries on the spot... guess he wasn't quite as "undestructible" as they used to say.

Anyway, he pulled off three F1 wins and finished runner-up to Emerson Fittipaldi during the '74 season...

EDIT
Whoops, my bad—didn't realize this thread already existed... mod, please delete or move this.

thanks (beer's included in the price along with my DVD) 😁 😁 😁 😁

I'd honestly just go with the beer... maybe two... if it means I don't have to sit through that movie again...
you already seen it?
man, talk about a gut punch...

Nicholas Sullivan49 said:Look, this has turned into a total insult fest!! I’ve got a full home theater setup at my place—we're talking surround sound, receiver, DVD player, the whole nine yards—so why would I even bother? Like, should I trek down to Blockbuster or grab a disc, or go down to some shady corner of a flea market just to spend $3.25 on some bootleg trash? Or maybe just download stuff and watch it on a crappy laptop where the audio and video both suck... why would I waste my time hunting for subtitles or upgrading gear just to watch some low-quality file that ruins the actual art of cinema? If you don't get where I'm coming from, honestly, who cares...👋

Nah, it's not an insult—it's just that based on everything you've said, it's pretty obvious you don't have a clue what we're talking about, and that last post of yours basically confirmed I was right all along.

🙄 Honestly, I could just grab a few crappy DVDs from my collection and start complaining about how useless they are... people have totally lost the plot—they really don't have a clue what they're talking about.
I’ve got an original Mad Max DVD bought at Best Buy, but I also have the exact same movie as a rip—who knows where it came from—downloaded online. On the same TV THE RIP IS BETTER!!!
So, does that mean I should trash every single DVD out there?

Look, I'm not saying TS, CAM, or whatever other pirate junk is actually good. I don't even download stuff like that. Screeners and DVD rips are my only move.

Nicholas Sullivan49, you clearly haven't a clue what DivX even is or how it works. You're acting like DivX sucks and DVDs are great? Hilarious...

The thing is, you guys don't care about the experience at all... All that matters to you is finding the CHEAPEST option possible... And that is...

Man, just so you know, I watched "Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" at home for the second time because I completely bailed on going to the theater—the idiots around me were driving me nuts. I already posted about this on another thread.
At home, I get peace, I can watch whatever I feel like, and I pick the time. I usually watch on a screen about 6 feet wide with sound that's honestly better than the theater most of the time.
What other detail am I missing? Some nostalgia for when TVs weren't available to regular folks?

Joseph Lee3 said:alright, another big cheers for the DivX format! everything looks so much brighter now—I grabbed an LCD projector and spent the whole night blasting stuff onto my wall. I set everything up so the picture was oooooooooooogargantuan, hooked the sound up to my super pricey 5.1 system, and basically passed out from pure bliss. who needs a theater?! like, would I ever go to a cinema to watch The Grand Vadrouille? no way!

this isn't for regular people! gotta go quickly and knead some pizza dough and toss something in...🙂

👍
also, instead of that 17" monitor mentioned in the original post, I'm watching DivX via a projector (pro tip: get yourself a screen. no matter how white your wall is, the difference in image quality is massive), though lately I've been using a 107" plasma more often...

oh yeah, if anyone still thinks DivX doesn't have good quality, just download a DVD rip of that IMAX "Coral Reef Adventure"—guaranteed to change your mind.

says it's somewhere between 110 and 120... but honestly, this isn't even a real big intelligence test. there's way too many—as a ton of people have already pointed out—questions that are just testing how much random stuff you know.
the test is—aside from being a bit of a time sink—totally pointless...
