Noooooo! Travesty.
Watch it.
So good....so very good. A totally different horror movie that's not just another rewrite of a classic, even though it starts out like every other teenage sex romp/horror movie, but then......no spoilers, just watch it. Hilarious and scary.
Side note, keep an eye out for a Reaver in the mayhem... Easter egg.

Ok, next I want to see Minecraft recreated on Excel on a computer which is itself a virtual machine simulated in Minecraft. I heard u like to go deeper etc.

ps. remember that flight sim easter-egg that older version of Excel had?

When I see things like this I always think back to the inhabitants of Easter island and how they chopped down all their trees just to see who could build the biggest fanciest stone head.

ScreenCrush shared easter eggs and references: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQSds5C_nwI

Wonder why they call it the "land of the long white cloud"?

That's actually a pretty unusual approach. Normally they fly in around the back of the Remarkables and land in the other direction. Must have been a strong easterly that day.

Notable that the screens don't change as they seem set to a certain mode. I'm going to guess this is an Easter Egg feature of them. However, after Googling AR-7778 it makes annoying sounds even before you put it in music mode.

Fade-outs are (were) done for radio play (when not for artistic reasons), so that songs can overlap or someone can start speaking over the end. Youtube videos have a defined beginning and an end so it makes sense the music should go that way too.

The nice thing about fade-outs is they sometimes hold easter eggs, but mostly I find them annoying. For in-car listening I either make them louder or cut them short or both.

What I took away from all this is that a long version of "Life during wartime" is available sans fade-out, scratching a 30 year itch.

Also made me remember 70s singles which skipped on the last groove of the record - except I dont remember which ones those were...

Some additional thoughts too, a lot of people either love or hate the book. Either they feel no nostalgia or dont care for all the pop culture references. Or just absolutely love it, which I love it.

Mostly it seems a lot people think because it has so many references that it has no original content. I view it this way, you mostly only ever get Wades side of the story. Stuff form his view point, Hallidays easter egg became his obsession stated several times in the book. How does someone obsessed with the very thing they deal with think?

Are the tons of references too much? At times possibly, but this is coming from the thoughts of Wade has hes thinking of ways to find clues or the next break into Hallidays trail.

At least thats how i think of the book.

In the US, I believe that component in CRTs is called a "horizontal oscillator" instead of a "flyback transformer" (but could be that they are distinct yet related things). I've always been easily able to hear those, but am not usually bothered by them anymore since CRTs are fairly rare at this point. But this video proves that my 36 year old ears can still pick it up.

I feel like my hearing is bad -- I always want TVs louder than other people so I can make out what is being said, and in normal conversation it always seems like people are mumbling if there is any background noise at all. And I'm one of those annoying loud-talking Americans, especially if I'm talking on the phone (fortunately I don't get/answer many phone calls when I'm in public). But my hearing range pitch-wise seems to be exceptionally high, and not diminishing much with age (yet).

There's a fun easter egg for people like me at the end of that video. He put pulses of that CRT horizontal oscillator pitch where you can see the "Things You Might Know" text on the red background. I recognized it as Morse code, but couldn't decipher it even though I have an Amateur Radio license (I don't do code). In the comments at YT, people are claiming that the code translates to "never gonna give you up" -- so I guess he's Rickrolling people who both A) still have young enough ears to hear that 15kHz range *and* B) are old school enough to know / recognize Morse code. That's a pretty small target audience for an easter egg!
