There's been a bunch of Stefon segments, they get better and better every time. They're getting so amped up with it that Hader is almost bound to break in every time he does the segment now. A recent one:Quote:

I'm also particularly loving the drunk uncle segments.

hulu doesn't work outside of the US without a fantastic proxy or vpn, sadly.
The rubberbandits especially take a while to get used to. The first time I saw a video of theirs, Horse Outside, I only stayed with it cos it was chalice who linked it. Ended up having them on my playlist at work. People walking by think I'm a mentalist when it's on.Quote:

I also didn't appreciate SNL too well, initially, but I enjoy a lot of Lonely Island, so gave it another go, and ended up really liking a lot of skits. The aforementioned Bill Hader is brilliant at times.
Pro at Cooking I got from mulder. First couple of minutes I was like wtf, then I realised how glorious it is.
IE, your reactions to it all are probably about the same as mine.
Not promising owt about lonely island tho. It's very american.

I used hotspot shield for it, for a bit, but I think that that might not work anymore. Haven't tried it for a long time.
Well here's a short list for the bits you may have missed:Quote:

That's actually why I larf at all the people who buy parallel imported Kindle Fire devices here since virtually all the content is locked down to U.S. I.P.s and the morons who are rushing out to buy them are too stupid to know the difference, it really is consumerism for consumerism's sake. I would however like to see some extremely popular media content that specifically excludes U.S. I.P. addresses for a change :naughty:
Kindle Fires are kind of shit, tbh. A dated and crippled version of android running on mediocre hardware kind of make them pointless. And no e-ink display, either, which makes them no better than about a dozen of similar hong kong-tablets out there.
People should either get a proper ebook-reader with a pearl display or better, a regular android tablet with Moboplayer, Perfectviewer, Aldiko and/or the Kindle app, or both. One's far nicer to the eyes, and the other does what the Kindle fire does and more, pretty much.
The thing with the Kindle Fire is there was a time where you can get them on the cheap (perhaps still the situation). After that, root it and load the Android window manager and Marketplace (play with me store or whatever it's called now), and you've got a cheap tablet. Hardware did seem weak though, I modded one for a friend and I was testing different videos with MoboPlayer and it was choking on SD material (AVC codec) while using software decoding.
With the specs it has, it should be able to do SD just fine. My phone does it with a 1Ghz single core cpu, and 512MB RAM (same amount of memory as kindle, albeit a bit low for today's standards). Either there was too much crap on it, or it's some sort of non-standard hardware setup android or moboplayer has issues with.
Maybe flashing it with a new ROM would improve it, if the issue is the former.
Fucknose if it's worth the effort, though. That's bound to screw with your warranty if it breaks down while there's some sort of homebrew ROM on it, and then you could just go with something from hong kong for about the same price, with about the same specs and vanilla 2.3.5 or something installed already. I'd rather go with something like an Aoson M19 or a Flytouch 6, tbh. Single cores IIRC, but with more RAM and storage, and no need to root root them straight off the bat.
i'm the winner :DD
Fuck off. Humans are talking here. This is not for monkeys.Quote:

You really should clear your purchases with me before you buy silly stuffs like that :no:
If I did that, I wouldn't be the only person on the internets who owns both an iPad and a Kindle Fire.
I am, therefore, in an unrivalled position to inform the good people of FST that Kindle winz.
Basically: anything that's dependent on itunes < anything that isn't.
So I agree, the kindle fire must be better.
My purchasing ethos based purely upon whether something looks nice and/or has a cool name wins out again :01:
Oh I understand very clearly about the 'nerdy stuff' including sideloading the Fire to accept standard android apps without having to load a custom android image to it (which you can do as well) and also using StrongVPN or another VPN service to access the premium content offered on the Kindle Fire i.e. NetFlix a/c, Hulu a/c, Amazon 'Premium' a/c, I was just patiently explaining earlier that most of the fuckwits that have rushed out to buy the Kindle Fire here because it is a trendy buzz word are morons with too much money and exactly the kind of wankpots who will sit there going it's not working.... :frusty:Quote:

After I made the purchase, I did some reading and discovered my future problems while I was waiting for it to arrive. It's really not too hard to root it and get onto the google marketplace. It's all working quite nicely now and I've transferred my books over, which is the main thing I'll use it for. I'm a bit worried about the battery life but I don't see it being too much of an issue since we seem to have mini-usb chargers dotted around in all seven corners of the house, what with their recent ubiquity.
Doubt I'll watch any films on it - I've never used my other tablets or phones for such frippery. I don't see the point when I've got a television the size of a medium sized Romanian dwelling in my living room.
Looks like it's gonna be good for dicking around on the internets and watching poor quality stolen live footie streams, though. Adobe is Amazon's friend, I hear.
That sounds positively tiny.Quote:

No, it's a 43". I've put the 50" one up on the wall in a different room for x-bawks porpoises.Quote:

One doesn't like to appear too ostentatious.
How quaint.
On a Slightly more serious note, the parents have a 46" telly. Last weekend, as I visited I sat there thinking it was hella small, and that they should really pick up something better. Then I realised it's still enormous compared to what I had when I was at uni, and probably compared to what most people have, and indeed compared to the screens on my tablet and phone. It felt a bit surreal, somehow.
Get a projector, and you too can experience the superiority complex that comes with watching stuff on 100"+, daily.
Anything below 720p can look a bit blurry, though.
Fuck me, mate. I'm not made of krona like wot you are.Quote:

It put me off ever owning one. Might just have been the lack of any kind of wall facing or just the festering wank pile of wank that was The's room.
Anyway, I've got too much 3D stuff to be thinking about projectors. I assume that would be a problem.
Mine has 3d-support :idunno:
It's one of these.
I found it trickier to pick a screen than the projector itself. There are a lot of choices ranging from like £100 for 90" up to two or three times what the projector itself costs. And different choices of whites and greys with different gains and refractions, suitable for different lighting conditions.
Could paint a wall as well, and use that, but the paint matters too.
The game just changed :smilie4:
For some reason, I just assumed you wouldn't get 3D. idk why since I've watched films in the cinema in 3D.
So basically you can just plug everything into the back of that which you would normally plug into your tellybox, rite?
Do you have to put it on the ceiling?
Mine has hdmi and that, so no worries on connecting it.
It doesn't have to be mounted on the ceiling. I had mine in a shelf at first. Now it's mounted on the wall.
Can also put one on a table. They vary in what sort of throw they have, so whatever you pick, you need to check so it can do the distance you want from the wall.
They project at an angle, but something decent, like mine, should let you flip the image.
So if hanging from the ceiling or a wall, upside down, it puts the image on the wall or screen with the top parallel to the lense*. Flip it right side up and flip the image back, and it projects the image with the bottom parallel to the lense*.
*This is assuming the projector is level.
I believe I need a fresh start, like.
