Rule #42- Lip sync is for losers, but if you really have to, draw yourself the mouth on the characters with ms paint using a touchpad.

I'm still in utter shock that there's an archive of 4chan. Even /b/'s archived. I didn't think there was enough room on the internets to archive the massiveness that is /b/. I think this proves that the internets exist in a parallel temporal dimension and that your computer's internet line is a portal to that dimension.

Oh, and so I'm not off topic:

Rule #43 - Orphan frames make for awesome transisitions and keep the action going!
Rule #44 - Never ever use footage from DVDs or Raws. Using footage from old VHS tapes is good. Using footage from crappy, blurry fansubs (with subtitles) is better. Using footage recorded onto tape from Cartoon Network and importing it into your computer using a VCR hooked to your computer is godlike.

Dude. That's how we did it back in the day. VHS raws, or if that wasn't possible, dubbed TV rips. See:

I know that, I meant nowadays, when it's not necessary anymore... yet some people still do it. :/
