Merry Christmas Everyone

I just wanted to with everyone a Merry Christmas and a very drunk and happy New Year.
It's been great discovering this place, I was tired of 3D games anyway.

Merry Christmas all.

Merry Christmas NEC fans!

No Turbo games under the tree this year. lol

Kitsunexus · 12/25/2007, 04:19 PM

Hope you had a merry christmas!

Now let's talk about our phat lewt!

Got Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii and 2000 Wii points. Other than that, my xmas was gameless. However, I did get some cash that will quickly be converted into games.

I haven't gotten anything yet but if all goes well there may be a sealed copy of JJ and Jeff coming my way in the near future!!

Ceti Alpha · 12/25/2007, 07:22 PM

Clothes and more clothes. hehe. That's a good thing.

I also got Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene CD/DVD. There's a 3D stereoscopic DVD feature included in the DVD and it comes with two pairs of 3D glasses. w00t!

I'll be treating myself to the new Star Trek: TOS HD/DVD Season One Remastered set. With some gift card money and returns. heh. There's some cheap ones on eBay, but I'll first see what the sales are like tomorrow.

PCEngineHell · 12/25/2007, 07:40 PM

Happy Holidays everyone,even you Kits ! ! !

Dark Fact · 12/25/2007, 09:17 PM

Meh, all I got for Christmas was a sweater and a couple of wifebeaters.

Maybe next year will be better.

Ah well, have a holly jolly Christmas. *passes out*

My dad pulled a surprise on me and bought me that straight up as a gift. I was shocked. I was sure no one would buy it since it's ridiculously overpriced. I also got TNG / Season 1 on DVD.

Among other things, I got Sonic vs. Mario at the Olympic Games (Wii), a Nintendo lightgun-type thing called a "Wii Zapper", a gift pack of holiday beers, stacks of blank DVD-R's & CD-R's, Red Dwarf Season 3 RE-MASTERED, an absolutely killer book on James Bond history including Casino Royale (I can't describe how in-depth and awesome this book is), a car air freshener in the shape/image of a middle finger, loads of empty CD cases so my case-less video games can find homes, a $100 gift certificate to a nice local restaurant (for me and my wife), $100 in cash from the uncle that never shows up for Christmas, and lots of other little stuff. I think that's most of the major stuff.

MY DRUM THING WORKS!!!

Merry Day After- and Happy New Years.

Was supposed to get my copy of Sapphire- but it never arrived in the mail.
Being that my girlfriend was out of work for a month- it was the only thing she could afford to get me for Christmas- and she was literally in tears when it didn't arrive in time. If this guy sent it at all.

Nazi NecroPhile · 12/26/2007, 10:48 AM

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Two questions for a fellow Dwarfer: is that a region 1 dvd, and do the changes make much difference (good or bad)?

Don't give up hope just yet. My copy took two weeks to get to me from the time that he said that he would mail it, though it was actually only about a week from the time that the postage was dated.

It's actually not a DVD at all-- I got a VHS set. But yeah, it's NTSC.

The film transfer itself is really good-- the colors are MUCH brighter than the standard versions of the episodes. The contrast is much improved. I also have Season 1 & 2 re-mastered and the difference on those series is even more astounding. Those series always looked so drab and gray to me.

Beyond the film enhancement, they also re-did all of the exterior model shots and replaced them with CGI. These effects are a mixed bag, and you'll either love 'em or hate 'em. I love 'em. At worst, they are of Season 8-quality CGI. At best, they are.... better. They changed the Blue Midget ship to look like it did in Season 8. A lot of the original model shots looked really cheesy and blue-screened, which has been eliminated with the CGI. In Seasons 1 & 2 they changed the intro. They added a new intro with the theme song used in 3 thru 8 where they run scenes from episodes with the music in the background. I heard that they re-filmed Holly's parts in 1 & 2 for the re-master so you wouldn't notice that he had aged (since he's a computer and all) but to be honest, I can't tell. I haven't compared side-by-side so I can't say for sure.

All in all, I love the re-masters and I will be watching them over the originals. I'd recommend 'em if you can find 'em. I'm not sure if they've been released on DVD yet-- the person that gave me Season 3 this year said she couldn't find the re-masters on DVD. So beware, the Red Dwarf DVDs that are common in stores now are the ORIGINAL film transfer not the remasters.

Nazi NecroPhile · 12/27/2007, 10:42 AM

Thanks, nat. I guess that I'll work on getting seasons 3-8 on DVD before I worry about the remastered versions of seasons 1-3, since I'm happy with the quality of the first two, and I'd rather have them on DVD than VHS anyway. It case you didn't know, they've released The Bodysnatcher Collection, which is a box set of the remastered three seasons, but it's only been released for region 2 as far as I know.
