You know, it's a lot easier to kill a timer when I actually save the pointer to the timer to a variable.
At least I finally realized the implications of the debugging things I saw yesterday.
Combined with the display that told me 0/0 votes had been cast.
Essentially, the vote thought there were no people present and was canceling the vote on start, but because I hadn't saved the timer reference, it couldn't stop the timer.
So, the timer finished and tried to end the vote again...

Q: Merge [famicom] → [nes] or leave them separate?

CyberSkullI was wondering if we should make famicom a synonym of nes. I ask this because essentially the hardware is identical, the major difference being that the plastic cartridges are keyed differently so one won't fit in the other. As an aside, I should point out that famicom-disk-system is a hardware...

Why does video editing have to be so difficult?

@RonanForman Because each second is something like 30-60 images.

But codecs!
 
Powerlord
Powerlord
@RonanForman So, now you have to decompress the video before you edit it.
 
Ronan Forman
Ronan Forman
Why are there so many! I can't even open the video
What editor do you use?
 
Powerlord
Powerlord
It's very hard to edit files that are compressed. The standard for every format I've seen is to decompress the file, then edit it, then compress it again.
I don't edit videos, but I've heard Sony Vegas is pretty good.

You can use VLC to transcode (= convert) the .mp4 in something the video editor you want to use accepts
can VLC play the movie?

@RonanForman I have Corel Videostudio Pro x3, and it works pretty well for me. Encodes fine to 1080p50, which is really all I need. :D

@RonanForman ... it's the previous version of the software, that's why. :) Upgrade to the current one costs just $39.99 directly from their site though. If you want free, VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod for the final check and encoding, and something like AviSynth with a ton of plugins to put video and audio streams together works fine too.

Here's the thing, Nintendo did a cost-cutting measure on it, yet it costs the same price as the previous New Super Mario Bros. Wii bundle did.
(except the console is Black not Red)
No, wait, I'm sorry. The new bundle doesn't include Wii Sports Resort.
 
Ronan Forman
Ronan Forman
That's better?
 
Powerlord
Powerlord
Actually, I was wrong, the old version cost $200, then $170. So, technically $150 is cheaper, but in doing so, you lose one of the games bundled with the system, plus support for GameCube games and controllers (which are useable in certain multiplayer games like Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
