I've never known that TH.net had such deep and mysterious roots, and that the people who were behind it all had such crazy pasts.
I'm honoured to be a part of this community :p
Interesting read, want more!

Little known facts:
thehelper.net is like the first site I check when I wake up.
My Firefox has it preselected for me instantly the moment I hit the down arrow key.
A little part of me died when the site went down for a couple days/weeks a few years ago. [I thought it was down for good!]

Well you said you were the last MVP before they cancelled the first rendition of it. So the fact you are posting on the 1st MVP story thread it is kind of the full circle of the MVP program. The first one and the last one. Glad to see you still stop by King TonGoll - it is good to see you again!

Yes, even the Atari Forums also had a similar split in 2008 ~ 2009 era.

I used to hang out on the atari forums. I used to troll Thunderbird about Battlesphere back in the day. We host the NUON-Dome which is K3V's site.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • jonas jonas:
    It would suck to spend 400$ on a system that doesn't have the capability you need
  • jonas jonas:
    and it will probably take a couple of tries to get the settings right
  • Varine Varine:
    It would but I can also just make sure I can return them. The system I have works, it's pretty straightforward and I tested it with a camera I have. All it really is is a little cartridge that holds the transparency film and a white light source behind it that projects the image into the lens
  • Varine Varine:
    I'll have to fuck with the light a bit and try some different lighting methods to get color accuracy, but I have IT8 targets for that
    +1
  • The Helper The Helper:
    get that color accuracy :)
  • Varine Varine:
    They're really helpful for calibrating things because I'm really colorblind, so I'm not great at doing it by eye
    +2
  • Varine Varine:
    Well the long, slow slog of winter has officially begun here
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a bunch of community service I have to do, and I have a feeling there will be a lot of snow shoveling involved now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    don't know why people choose to live in that kind of weather :)
  • Varine Varine:
    Well
  • Varine Varine:
    My job is here
  • Varine Varine:
    I was born here man I didn't choose shit
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, I keep moving away and it doesn't get any better. I moved to San Antonio and shit froze there AND we had blackouts
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I'm back, suffering from severe jet lag.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Cold is following your ass around Varine - I just dont think I could handle a snowy winter.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Welcome Back Tom!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I hear that taking a Melatonin around your normal bedtime can really fix jet lag
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Yeah, I also heard about that as well. I think I'm good. I'm just lucky it's the weekend so I have some time to readjust.
    +1
  • Varine Varine:
    It was a fucking blizzard today, shoveling was an effort in futility.
  • Varine Varine:
    Melatonin gives me nightmares
  • Varine Varine:
    They had me shoveling out the parking lot for the jail. Fucking pointless, they need a blow.
  • Varine Varine:
    Well they gave me a snow blower but it was too wet to do much with with other than compact everything. Oh well, the cop cars can get into there now when they arrest people I guess
