Clip Show

Several months ago I finally got around to turning clips from my various DVD's into GIF's. It had been an intention of mine for quite some time.

Like usual the simple idea turned out to be a complex endeavour that consumed far too many hours. In the end I worked out a 4 program system to do it......and I also filled my computer with viruses. One stolen account and reformat later I decided to put off GIF making.

But Present Me scoffs at the silly precautions of Past Me and decided to try again (no malware detected yet which could just mean it's well hidden). And so now I've encountered another problem; a problem I have met before with Garry's Mod. I don't want to do anything I can do, and what I want to do I can't.

Theoretically I can make videos, GIFs or just take screenshots, and from these I could make all sorts of potentially funny videos and so forth. The internet is practically founded on humorous stuff made with copyrighted material (that and porn).

But in actuality making something halfway decent is a lot of hard work for very little reward. Look at this blog, the amount of time I invest in this is way more than the amount of enjoyment people (assuming this is read) get out of it (assuming they enjoy it).

So basically, I've once again risked my computer for the ability to do things I don't need to do.

P.S. Here are some awesome screenshots from FLCL:

Don't mind me, I'm just chilling out.
Even in context this shot is both brilliant and wrong.
Sanity? Who needs that when you have got a shotgun-guitar.

  1. I couldn't take screenshots when I watched DVDs. I'm such a moron. Look at this: http://threeframes.net/
