Yes, it looks like everyone else only sees the fields you've put stuff in, but you see N/A for everything on your own.
Thanks. That's what I figured... there's no way to get rid of that Wii crap, is there?

If someone is presenting a storyboard with a song, does the presenter have to sing it?
On the main section (Gaming, Community or Off Topic) click on the number in the replies column.
Alternatively change the thread number at the end of the link below to the number of the thread you want.

What's the source of the little comedy jingle Ryan and Vinny sing during the Saw II QL at 4:35 in this video? More importantly can someone provide me a quick audio/video link of a band playing it?

Can anyone help me find a couple videos I think I've seen linked here? One was like a speed drawing of Homer Simpson in MSPaint, it was totally terrible and was set to the Simpsons theme played so loud it distorted.
The other used some kind of weird, outdated CGI, I think it also had some Simpsons characters (and a few others), and seemed to diagram a bunch of funky fictional sex positions in a Lawnmower Man-esque gridded room.

I know exactly which video you're talking about. Can't find it either, terrible feeling. >_>
That'd be a great question for the "build your own PC" thread over in gaming, lots of knowledgeable tech people there. That said, just overclocking via clock speed (and not voltage) will not decrease the lifespan of the CPU, so you're good to go.
If no one translates them here, I'd download a Japanese(?) OCR program, then run that through an online translator. Won't be perfect but it'll be something.

Thanks for the tip. I've tried an OCR program online and a Kanji recognising program on Android, both to no avail so far.
Aside from expensive software (and it's not that important), I'd say you can't beat good ol' human knowledge with this stuff. Here's hoping someone from jGAF reads this thread. ^^ (though the gold on red looks more Chinese to me but what do I know).

Awesome, thanks for translating the second!Are they both Japanese?
There probably are Japanese readings for them, but things like this are usually Chinese in origin.
Anybody that knows boats:
In old timey cartoons and comics and probably movies and stuff whenever someone is sneaking around on the deck of a boat/ship sometimes they will hide in a big, open, bent pipe or tube that has a man-sized opening in it and looks like it leads down into the hull of the ship. What are those big tubes called and what function do they serve?

They're the entries to the air ventilation shafts running along inside bigger ships. The bent part on top is called a cowl and it's connected to the ventilator shafts below.
Yea, seems its fixed now.
Hey guys, I have some trouble with navigating Amazon's site. I want to contact Amazon about a package that never arrived (because of the shipping company losing it) for an order to get a refund or replacement, so from where do I do that? I see actions from my order list, but I don't know if any of these are the one I'm supposed to go to: "Return or Replace Items", "Leave Seller Feedback", or "Leave Packaging Feedback".
The "Return or Replace Items" option leads me to another page but the dropdown for the list of reasons don't have an option for the package never arriving.
Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind, after some digging I found where to do it. Amazon CSRs are awesome, by the way.

You've always been allowed name changes. PM a mod and they'll more than likely do it unless you constantly try to change your username.

If I suddenly cut out 95% of the fats in my diet, will this do anything for excess fat? I exercise regularly, but clearly not hard enough.
Depends on the fats. Do you drink a lot of cola, or sugary drinks? Simple carbs like white bread and sugar are what you need to cut.

Don't drink any soda, I have a teaspoon of sugar with every cappuccino (3 a day), and normally drink a glass of average supermarket juice (think which might have a bit of added sugar.
2 slices of white break in my lunch sammich. Normally 1 cup of rice for dinner, or potatoes.
Is that bad?
Alright, so don't worry about why or whatever, but I want to buy a .kg (Kyrgyzstan) domain name. It would be my personal website, and I'd like to be able to put up whatever the hell I want (nothing crazy, don't worry), would the fact that it is a Kyrgyzstan domain name put any restrictions (or even dangers) on my website?

THANK YOU!
I have: a 35x42 BMP that I drew in MS Paint
I want: to make it bigger without losing its pixelyness. When I resize it in Photoshop it smooths out/compresses the image and it loses it's blocky/pixel sharpness. I want it to look like it looks when zoomed in in Photoshop.
What method do I use in PS to enlarge it?

Photoshop recommends the Bicubic Smoother for enlargements. Use Nearest Neighbor instead if you want to preserve the blockiness. Of course, you can't magically add information that isn't there and all interpolation algorithms will add some kind of annoying artifact to the image.

Do you think if we had generation ships the occupants would continue to use a 24hour clock cycle?
Probably. Maybe just a tiny bit longer; I think research has the human biological clock at just over 24 hours, on average.
Hmm, tried and it just made it look like a new kind of blocky.
I've found what I consider an impractical workaround which is to just zoom in to my desired size and use prntscrn and repasting it in from my clipboard... It actually worked but that can't possibly be the best way to blow up a bitmap without jeopardizing its blockiness, can it?
Rubbing alcohol is fine. 90%+ is recommended, but I think that's for peace of mind more than anything.

I don't know. To the left is 4X zoom, to the right is 4X nearest neighbor enlargement. The image quality is slightly worse due to compression artifacts in the left half, but otherwise they seem pretty similar to me.

That's not using the nearest neighbor algorithm. Try again.
Edit: I see your point and I remember encountering the problem before. IIRC, I used some kind of web service to get a simple upscaled image without any gradient colors.
