Any idea how big? It won’t be the last hail for sure,

 

I think it was at least golf ball sized

 

And everyone under the age of 20 is like "DVD-sized? Is that big?"

 

Yeah at least from what I've heard 5 inches is way too big, no one wants to deal with that

 

At least it’s not laserdisc

 

Okay but anyone who knows anything knows that laserdisc is a superior hail format.

 

At least 5 days a week.

 

if I got hit by laserdisc hail so many of my problems would go away lol

 

Like the 3D0, laserdisc was expensive as fuck so they didn't sell shit

 

Dibs on truck(s)

 

I should probably update my will

 

Didn't it take like three of them to hold one movie. If I remember correct they didn't have much storage space.

 

If I go first you'll just have to ask Theo what he doesn't want; what's left over will be up for grabs

 

60 minutes per side in the "extended play" format, if you had a dual-side player you could watch a 120-minute movie without changing the disc lol. The "superior format" argument is more about the quality of the video, and tbh I don't know if the argument even held up as DVD authoring and digital mastering techniques improved.

I never actually got to experience Laserdisc outside of my driver's ed classroom. We had a driving simulator that ran off them, and I don't remember the video quality being particularly good, but that might have been the fault of the projector it ran through. The simulator was hilariously bad compared to playing something like Gran Turismo at home. Six seats/steering wheels sharing a single video screen and you just had to drive along with the video, with no feedback apart from a numeric score at the end of the exercise. The manual transmission simulation was especially bad--good luck getting better than a 60% score.

 

Thoes driving simulators back in the '90s were the worst? We had a trailer parked in our student parking lot in high school that we had to 6 hours on a Saturday. The quality was pore at best.

 

The ship said it needed a new water pump, but I didn’t see any coolant leaking anywhere. Are they mistaking it for the fan bracket?

 

yeah they have no idea what they're talking about, the 5vz waterpump is timing belt driven and its behind that bracket
