Yep, same here.

Although if it's my own video and I want to make sure the field order is okay before I send it to a contest, I'll burn it to DVD-RW and watch it on my TV :P
I have no idea how to use this new forum.

I find that parties are the best times to showcase your work.

Even if people have never seen an amv before it gives them a chance to see something new and when they do see it they are always like "wow, you did that?"

That's the best

Then, again so is some nice sake shouting out BONZAI!!!!

Meh... it really depends...

Sometimes, I watch one video and all of a sudden I get the urge to keep watching and I end up loading up the entire playlist and clicking random and putting it on fullscreen... 2 hours or so later I realise I wasted a lot of time watching things I've watched countless times already...

On other times, I purposely put in an AMV or two in between certain episodes of anime I'm currently following on weekly basis.

When I'm studying or just generally browsing or writing, sometimes instead of loading my music, I play AMVs and then minimize Windows Media Player and it gets integrated into the task bar. I then switch on that mini-screen and everytime I see a video that is a 'must see' I go fullscreen again before continuing afterwards for more of what I was already doing.

I've had a few times when I spent an entire day on AMVs, but these are usually organised events among my circle of friends where we use AMVs as a reason to socialise.

Bingo. Same here.

As for by myself, I make like Beowulf, when I'm watching my favs (usually 4-5), I turn out the lights and go fullscreen, and crank up the volume.

I stick the USB cable straight into the back of my head, Matrix style.

Actually, I just hit full screen, shut off the lights, and blast the audio through my headset.

I try to watch as many as i can, while hanging upside down from my ceiling, on full screen, with long corded Studio Headphones before the blood rushes to my head causing me to pass out. :D

How I watch it kind of depends on the moment and the mood I'm in. Like after a long tiring day at school, I don't care where or how: just give me an AMV! :shock:

Still, I prefer watching them:

1) No headphone. They are annoying and make my ears itch.

2) Medium screen. Small takes too much stress from the eyes and large... Well... Somehow the AMV's don't look so good in that format.

3) Alone, although when an AMV is really good, I'll grab my sister and show it to her. She does it the same way, so we both get to see the best the other has downloaded. We have totally different taste, so I guess this works best ^_^

4) Music hard. Soft is for softies... I like my music just hard enough I don't hear anything else anymore. Still, no so hard that it's blasting around...

5) Dusk or dimmed light. Bit of sunlight is never wrong, but I like watching them in the shadow. Still, totally black is not that nice. Makes that it hurts my eyes (and I can't see that well when it's dark :( )

6) A couple in a row. When I have a new one, I watch it straight away, but if I sit down to watch AMV's, I put about 10 on, the ones most fitting my mood. I like it when the music is nice, closing my eyes and listen (and still see the AMV in my mind :D )

Still, in the end it doesn't matter all that much, as long as I get to see an AMV once a day ^_^
