Well, I was going to say "Your Rocky Spine" by Great Lake Swimmers (probably my favorite PQed song), but I see you've found that already. Thanks man. Paul4dirt is still around upvoting, I've noticed a couple. He must be in a dry spell as far as posting.

Thanks for dropping me a line - I gotta remember to check certain people's PQs now and then. I always miss some good stuff.

Evenin' partner. Glad to know some people actually notice. Makes my evil disco heart all warm and fuzzy.

Been on somewhat of a hiatus lately, still drop in every once in a while, though. It's an on-again, off-again love affair. Plus, folk has been all the rage for me lately, which isn't easy to sift. Not that I mind, I'll keep posting what I like.

Had to scan through your unsifted & PQ to see what you've been posting, threw out a few upvotes. Glad to see you're still around.

And that is yet another example of why John Stewart is the best in his field. Not to mention the 'MAN'!


"To be the man, you've got to beat the man."
~Ric Flair

That's not saying Olbermann is the man, he's gone down hill over the past few years, Stewart is just awesome though. Maybe a little props to Olbermann for manning up on getting called on his shit. You'd never see Hannity, Beck, or Limbaugh do something like that. Those guys believe they're infallible.

This is awesome. Believe it or not, it's an old vaudeville routine. W.C. Fields did something VERY similar to this in a film from 1934...the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MZWq14uD-A

Look for the cigar boxes around 2:52, and W.C. even adds his own bumbling flair to the routine.

^ The thread on reddit took offense to calling this 8 bit. Apparently it's 16 bit at least. The thread sort of got side-tracked when someone suggested it might be 9.3453-bit.


Sigh... most of them probably have never heard of palettes.

Alot of the 8-bit systems used palettes, meaning while only 2^8=256 simultaneous colours could be displayed in a the framebuffer, those 256 could be chosen out of a far larger range of colours. In the case of VGA, for example, 262144 were available, giving 64 values each for red, green and blue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Graphics_Array#The_VGA_color_palette

So reasonably fine graduations were possible even with an 8-bit limit in the framebuffer. Many games of the time would use a custom palette for each scene/map/level, to squeeze the best quality out of each situation.

The only way to successfully argue that this is or is not 8-bit is to analyze every single frame for a maxiumum of 256 colours displayed at a time. To be technically accurate, it could use a separate palette for each frame. Compounding the problem, though, video compression can make it appear that more than 256 colours were used so the original uncompressed form would need to be analyzed. Prolly be someone with too much time on their hands =P

Yeah, and the vid is seriously fucked up.
