Sort of a promo for WOF. I didn't think I did too bad...

I'm sure you'll think of a hundred and one changes or additions to make to that video in the next twenty-four hours. But that really isn't a bad effort mate. What did you use to capture the sequences?

FRAPS

Well, personally, I think that is funny as hell. It sure made me laugh ;-)

And do you start up FRAPS first then the game, or other way around?

To be honest I think you can go either way, but I started it first.

Be aware that it generates pretty large files when recording, and slaughters all hope of descent frame rates. That being said, just hit F9 and watch the nonstop disk access as it starts recording...

From there I just clipped and split and sliced crap together in Microsoft Movie Maker (comes with XP) to make the video. I know, probably not the MOST professional tool, but it worked :lol:

It's what I used to make my video homage for WOF.

I know. Remember we were talking about it the other night. That's what made me go download it

That 2nd Zero sure reversed on you fast!

I know! Lord knows what I was trying to do at the time, but that happened, and I saw an instant opportunity for another stupid Hudson flying stunt. It was not planned, and not what I was trying to do, but it worked out good. :lol:

I was never so happy to get shot down :lol:

that is nice Hudson. we just need to to look stupider... ;)

the teach will tell us if that word is o.k.

Hahaha, great video Hudson. :lol: I loved the one "Don't throttle up too fast in WWII jets" and then your plane blows up on the runway. I have to say, some of your "stunts" have happened to me over the years. Lol!

No. You may not use "stupider." It is not a word.

dictionary.com says the teacher is a liar:

What's up with that teach? What does your Oxford dictionary say?

Oxford says you lie too

American heritage too:

Merriam Webster does not specifically say, but you can look up stupider and stupidest and they will bring you to the definition of stupid, which seems to be at least passive admission... though perhaps a look through a websters dictionary is why you came to your conclusion?

As I would tell any of my students, if you can prove it then you are right and I am wrong. In this case, Hudson has done due dillegence and proven me wrong. That said, the dictionary has added words like "mcjob" in recent years (this is slang of course). The adjective "stupider" would seem to be one of those words that, traditionaly speaking, would've been considered wrong but because it has been used so often that it has finally edged its way into the dictionary. Please remember that the English language is either extremely flexible and constantly evolving or it is extremely prone to degradation depending on your point of view. Therefore, I would not condone nor encourage the use of the word "stupider" in any particalar instance as it sounds...well...stupid. As a poet, I consider the language organic, maleable, but aesthetically speaking, most would agree that "stupider" should be avoided if at all possible. That, my friend, is what I have to say about that.

i agree Grif...

how slang gets into the dictionary is beyond me...

Mostly I just put that all there to harass you Grif

It's like that old thing, ain't ain't a word, yet these days you can still find it in the dictionary. I guess people just got stupider and stupider and kept using the word stupider so the dictionaries gave up and made it a word. :lol:

Hudson, care to teach us some USMC slang?


doesn't "cover" mean "hat" in Marine speak? :lol:
