A 1:1 exchange

badmartialarts · Post by **badmartialarts** » Sun Aug 15, 2004 11:26 pm

Alright, it seems that 1:1 exchanges are the way to go for things. So, what the heck, I'll try it out.

RULES

1) You op, then me.

Not totally fair, maybe. But that way, I get to check on....

2) Don't leave me a one-liner op.

Well, really, if that's all you leave, that's okay. Try to be honest with the scoring, and I'll try to puzzle out your reactions from that.

But, if you leave a one-liner, don't expect too much effort back. I mean, I'm not going to leave a one-liner. I don't do that. But it's not gonna be as in-depth as you probably deserve, since you didn't feel I deserved any depth.

I'm not gonna hold it against you if you can't share anything constructive, I might not be all that constuctive with your video myself (I get at a loss for words sometimes). Just justify the numbers you put in. If it's a 10, tell me why it's among the best videos you've ever seen. Or at least, tell me that.

If it's a one, please tell me why it sucks so bad. I'll try to make better videos in the future.

3) No New Found Glory or Dashboard Confessional.

I hate these bands, and I don't want to hear them anymore.

Not to say they suck, just that I personally dislike them, and I'm afraid of giving overly negative ops if I hear them.

4) No fansub subtitles (subtitles added by you are okay).

Unless you want an instant 4 in video quality. If you don't mind, and think the video is good despite them, then go ahead. Instant 4, that only goes DOWN with other video problems. Remember that.

5) Anime restriction: No Kimi ga Nozomu Eien.

Bote, if you're reading this, this is why I never got that op to you on your video. I HATE this series with a passion, and thus didn't feel like I could give the video a fair op outside of my blinding rage.

Actually, I dislike the series, and your video was beyond me technically, and I didn't feel justified in commenting on it. If/when I start learning combustion 3, maybe I'll get back to it.

Picky, I know. Might not get any takers at this rate.

But anyway, if you're still with me....here are your TWO choices.

Pentaxial Theory of Gravity

or

What Lain Bought on eBay

The first video is a good solid video that no one downloads, and I think it's a shame. Since it's not going to cons (due to a source-loss issue; I MIGHT try and piece it back together with enough positive input), I figured I'd give it some exposure, and see if I'm not crazy in thinking it's solid (not 'excellent,' just solid).

The second one is going to AWA, so if you're going there, download the first one and save Lain for the big screen. Hope she's not too shy. But hey, if you don't care to spoil the surprise, or are unlucky and can't make it to AWA (I might be in those shoes myself), then give her a download and run an op for her. That sounded creepy....

There ya go.

Oh, to clarify a point.

If you do op both, I will op two of your videos (thus, it was like two 1:1 exchanges....)

Rock on, I'll try to do this.

I'll try to review the both of them, however, as you stated in your rules, don't op mine til I op yours because of if something comes up here tomorrow that I'm not aware about (still moving into college) it may take a few days or so to get to.

Here are the videos I'd like you to op for me if I can get to yours (in order, if I can only get to one just do the first one).

First one, here's your possible competition at AWA (well, an older version of it).

And the second, just look at my profile, I don't really care which one you pick so long as it is one of the following: Angelography Mk 2, Puni Puni Poemaniac, Fuyutsuki Fluffy, or Transcendi, whichever one interests you the most!

Thanks!

FFDSHOW tends to do a good job with my videos.

You want the version dated 20040718, as it's the most current and so far has been rock-stable for me.

Hey man, I may not be able to get to the other video until tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments on the first review!

20,000th post in this forum?

Sure I will op your videos or at least one of them for sure. Could you do the first one in my signature and if I get both of yours could you do the second one in my sig as well.
Thanks

I left an opinion for the lain/ebay video.

It was written around 2/3am, so just PM if something I wrote makes no sense.
