Because you don't put enough effort into your videos to entertain anyone above "fanboy/fangirl" status.

ya know, its realy stupid to work hundreds of hours on an amv, becasue, if you do, then itl just end up stressing you out and you'll probably never finish it. and when people say taht they spend 2-4 weeks on an amv, they dont mean 2-4 weeks straight. i mean, their are things like work.school sleep, freinds, otehr hobies and the rest of life. mainly i work on an amv on weekends, sualy realy early (about 2am) in the morning, an amv takes me 2-3 weeks to finish, but thats becasue i hardly do any work on it on 5 of the 7 days i have.

oh and. id have to say pepsi. the original, not the shity pepsi max.

Yes but even then it takes more than 3 hours to make something half decent. 3 days of hard work can easily be enough time for a good vid, but in 3 hours there isn't the time to:

Think up a good idea for a vid
Rip dvds
Find the right footage for the vid
Time up the music and the footage
Set up an avisynth script to deinterlace the source
Encode

That's excluding potential crashes and mistakes. To make anything good you need to put a reasoanble amount of time into it. Obviously you don't need to put hundreds of hours into it (though a perfectionist might want to) but there's no way you can fit the process into 3 hours like our little troller friend claims.

Do they still sell that stuff? I had it once, but wasn't affected by the caffine. Maybe I should have had two...

I hate spam. I want one of the old Russian cans of it, though.

Hmm, what about the Russian news on TV? I heard those are "visually appealing" to some people.

(I think it was the Russians)
