Little Obsessions.
2009-08-13, 1:39 PM #1
So I just spent 3 hours looking for win95 sound card drivers (So that I can run it in a VM) and I realised that I tend to obsess about things easily, Case and point- 67,000 roms and 8 VMs (95,98,Me,2000,3.11,Nt 4.0, Dos 6.11, XP)

What do you obsess over?

Now on the topic of VMs, is there anywhere I can get ISO files of really old systems? I can't find NT 1-3 or Windows 1-3, or any DOS earlier then 6.22 anywhere. Before you ask "why" I have no reason.

I bet they won't be ISOs.

Well it doesn't matter, I can convert the files myself.

On Topic- I have every single MST3K episode and every single episode of Sonic Underground (Nostaligia trumps watchability)

I obsess about obsessing obsessors with their obsessions.

I have one computer running continuously converting DVDs into high quality MP4 files (chose that over other formats because it suits my needs better). Right now I have three seasons of Alias, six seasons of Highlander, seven seasons of 24, and four seasons of Battlestar Galactica left to complete before I redeploy next month. Seems like I brought just the right amount of DVDs as I should have just enough external harddisk space here to finish this up. Sucks, that they will be full and heavier since I am going to have to hand carry them all back with me, though.

Hmm, now that I think of it, I'd have to say Firefly/Serenity were a small obsession for a good long while. I'm still a huge fan but I don't want the entire series and movie once a month anymore. XD

Are you saying DVDs with data on them weigh more?
2009-08-14, 10:07 AM #15
No, silly. My externals will be full and, therefore, heavier. Duh!

Where the heck are you keeping 250 hours of MST3K at? And where did you obtain the first 2 episodes? >.>

Because he's not a bad poster? Sure, he's still young and might have been a bit silly in the past, but unlike warlockmish, most of TE's threads aren't that crappy.

It's only 135gb. A TB external drive is only like $80 now.

135GB if you don't actually keep DVD quality video around, maybe. Otherwise you're looking at probably more than 2TB.

All that matters is the sound quality. I don't need DVD quality video of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians with a cardboard cutout of a gumball machine in front.

My experience making "DVD quality" h264 mp4 files are about 1GB per hour. The average "hour" TV episodes tends to be a bit less than a GB and the average movie a tad over two. So 250 hours about 250 gigs.

From swapping harddrives and movies with other people over here I have found acceptable movies under a gig. Anything significantly under that tends to be crap at fullscreen.

I'm slowly burning them off, and the answer to number two is I didn't, and I wish.

Also it's all VHS quality, but for MST3K that's fine.
2009-08-14, 5:13 PM #24
To be fair, my brother also has every MTS3K ever made. He burned most of them on to disks over time.

I obsess over some TV shows, David Tennant and David Boreanaz. And cake. I really obsess over cake.

Given mb's actual size, it could be taken as a complement. Sorta.

Yeah I'm pretty sure mb's actually smaller than I am

you obsess over the smug emote, using it in what, like all 3 or 4 of your last posts?

There's a good reason why you can't find their ISOs. :eng101:

The fact that I was the first one to use it makes it even better.
(And to Zarn, Yeah I know they suck and stuff, but I found SB16 blasters and Winzip for 3.11, so why has no nerd archived the OSs?)

It's a good emote.

Edit: No, it is the best emote.

That's not the reason. You're just looking for the wrong things. <_< ISO is an optical disc image. Try looking for a floppy image. :eng101:

I'm becoming obsessed with FLAC files. I know that there's no way I'll ever be able to hear the difference between FLAC and a high-bitrate MP3, but it feels wrong now whenever I [purchase] lossily-compressed music.
