Re: Redundancy
I'm calling myself a fail-nerd for not knowing half of those bloody formats. The video was still hilarious though. Jer seemed the perfect choice for that role. Delivery was brilliant. Sad Alex and Matt didn't say much.
This is funny to me because one of my current tutors seems to have technological break-downs every week. Either the computer isn't working or the internet isn't or the projector isn't. There were only 6 of us in the seminar today and we were all huddling around the computer screen because the projector was screwed. That's what I thought of when they were all looking at the hard copy.

Re: Redundancy
Projector problems seemed to happen every few classes my last semester.

Re: Redundancy
Thus proving the point of this video... always have back-up!

Maybe instead of a thumb drive he should have gone with an SD card. Dunno about full size ones, but I put a microSD through the wash by accident and it came out fine.

Re: Redundancy
Alex? Wonderful writing - I was enjoying the build up just fine, every step of the way, and the 'punchline' was so apt and ironic that it tickled my soul like a deliciously evil hot toddy.
Oh, and as for the post-stinger plug, NO, NO I FUCKING WON'T; I CAN"T _ TTHANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF ALL THE AWESOMENESS I"M GOING TO FUCKJING MISS!!!!!!!

Re: Redundancy
As an aside, I love this video. Alex's writing is solid, and Jer and Paul both have stellar moments in it.
Paul's slightly confused pause after the holocube is priceless, as is Jer's "...weird".
Blue pens, ftw.

Re: Redundancy
Maybe Jer's character got the holocube from Paul's "Paul" character?

Re: Redundancy
Seriously a company which does presentations and does not have an epidiascope? (correct name for 'overhead projector')
Anyhow, PM me if you want some "Flexidisks", 8 inch floppies I have lying around.

Re: Redundancy
Actually an epidiascope and an overhead projector are different things. As I understand it, epidiascopes project images by shining a bright light down on an opaque object from above, and the light reflected from the object is then reflected by mirrors out into a projected image. An overhead projector works by shining light through a semi-transparent object, and that light is directly focused and reflected out as a projected image. The modern equivalent of an epidiascope would be a document camera (a video camera mounted over a fixed surface, and hooked up to a digital projector). While transparencies would work with all of them, they are generally made with overhead projectors specifically in mind.

I think you are confusing the epi_DIA_scope with the episcope.
In any event, both are still found quite commonly in universities and schools.

Re: Redundancy
I think it must be a language thing then, since pretty much everything I look at classifies them as two different things with two different functions.

Yeah, there's some excellent acting going onn in this video. Even the facial expressions of Mat and Alex.
I will be wondering forever what the hell she wanted with the blue pens. I prefer black. Or red. Hell, I just love stationary!

Re: Redundancy
I think the problem with Ben's laughter isn't actually Ben's laughter, it's that the other three are reacting unnaturally - they're wearing portentous expressions and they don't react to Ben at all. They're too obviously Being The Ones Who Aren't Laughing - even if Alex and Paul did have a reason to nod thoughfully in unison at the report, why would they nod thoughtfully in unison at the title page? It doesn't contain any information they wouldn't already know. Matt's somewhat puzzled expression is a believable reaction to the irony of the title page, but I can think of no possible reason for Alex and Paul to react the way they did.
Apart from that, good stuff. Just make sure you get the holocube to Ian in New Washington before the Morphs catch you.

Re: Redundancy
I have soo much redundancy in the copies of my project for uni. 2 external hard drives, memory-stick, uni-network, laptop, Google-wave and Google-code. Me and my uni mates really related to it.
Very funny video as always. Great writing Alex look forward to more.
Blue-pens for prime-minister.
Anyidea where I can find a copy of that presentation?

Re: Redundancy
I'm guessing it was a copy of the script with the title page stapled on.

Re: Redundancy
Why is Jer so desperate to make the presentation? Clearly Paul is fine to re-do the meeting later. Like, being really cool about it as well.
Nothing to see here.

He's so well prepared that he can't fathom the need for it.
Just call me Dylan. It's easier to pronounce.
