- I was actually planning to make my own site very similar to this one (except not a wiki) - Transcripts, Inside References, etc... Then, on one 1 April 2005, I thought "Come on, this is the Internet, someone's surely done this already", hit Google and found this site. I signed up immediately.
Miscellaneous Randomness and Random Miscellany
My major contributions to the wiki:
- The transcript for space program, along with VolatileChemical
- Creating Help:Namespaces
- Transcribed much of Flashforward Interview - 10 Feb 2006
- Extended Image:ComputerRoomFull.PNG - Thunderbird L17 layed the groundwork, stitching the widescreen desk from flashback with the roof from pop-up. I then added the lightswitch from monument (it was better than the one in techno, since it didn't have the disco lights all the time). It was rather an ordeal - the picture was a different size, the floor height didn't quite like up and the background was brighter. I had to redo the entire back wall behind The Cheat and (annoyingly) his glowstick. I also had to redraw the edges of the No Loafing sign and Homestar's shoes, since these had been cut off. Plus of course the edge of the carpet... It was fun.
- All of Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4 except the boss strategy, and the transcript part of Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9
- The Level 4 through 6 enemies in Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items
- Starting Videro
- Started the transcripts for Alamo Drafthouse - 10 Jun 2005
- Made the trophies for the S2005 HRWiki Forum Awards
- Did a lot of work documenting Random Toon and its side-effects, including all the Puppet Stuff having their own HTML files now (though I didn't start the page, and others have contributed a lot to it too)
- Random gnoming... why were there so many templates with centering broken in the exact same way? It's like people just went and copied the same broken one over and over...
style="margin: 0 auto", people! - Spent the time necessary to find out that the first Fan Costume Commentary photo was from sibbie... I'm not entirely sure if I should be proud if this.
Other achievements:
- My Stinkoman 20X6 Cheat Program was Fanstuff of the Week for 29 May - 5 June, 2005

What a debate should be like
In a debate, unlike an argument or a good old-fasioned yelling-at-each-other, both sides present their arguments clearly, and accept the other side's arguments graciously. There's debunking of arguments, sure, but no "omg how can u think that?? u sux!!" or anything of that sort. Plus both sides must be willing to change their viewpoint - steadfast stubborness is a bad thing to bring to a debate. I would like to thank It's dot com for this enjoyable debate about a fun fact that was in STUFF at the time.
| Dot com: | I really think if it was a "knowing is half the battle" takeoff they would have ended the toon with the Commandos all saying together something like, "and information is the key to the universe" |
| Phlip: | not all the cartoons that had these segments did something like that |
| Phlip: | remember it's a parody of the whole genre, not just GI Joe |
| Phlip: | though it is mostly GI Joe |
| Dot com: | there again, we disagree. I think they would have been more blatantly GI Joe if they meant it more than "health class" video |
| Dot com: | *film |
| Phlip: | yeah, I see what you mean |
| Dot com: | to me, it would be like having a robot that looked like a humanoid version of a car and fought in an army against an army of humanoids versions of jets, and then they never transform |
| Dot com: | my plurals are messed up in that sentence |
| Phlip: | still, it's characters from a (parody of a) kids cartoon show doing a public service announcement - it's worth mentioning that the kids shows it's parodying did that too |
| Dot com: | so ignore that |
| Phlip: | agreed the content of that PSA is worded more like a health class video |
| Dot com: | you can't see me, but I'm making that face you make when you're trying to agree with another person but just aren't quite convinced |
| Dot com: | kinda like, ehhh, with the teeth together and the mouth spread |
| Phlip: | this is exactly why it took me this long to vote on the fact... |
| Phlip: | maybe it deserves a rewrite - make it less GI Joe-specific, and less definite (add "could be" or something) |
| Dot com: | I think that would cripple it as far as usefulness. I think the more GI Joe-specific things we find, the better, and the rest is periphery |
| Phlip: | hmm... I guess so |
| Dot com: | and only about 1 in 500 facts is a good "could be", in my estimation |
| Dot com: | although notice I did not say zero |
| Dot com: | every now and then, we need a "could be" or a "may be" |
| Phlip: | how about "This episode is similar to the segments that many 90's childrens shows (including GI Joe) would inclde after their show" |
| Phlip: | removes "based on" and replaces "and now you know" with something more recognisable to people like me who've never actually seen GI Joe |
| Dot com: | see, I don't think it's like those at all |
| Dot com: | it's not preachy enough |
| Phlip: | true |
| Phlip: | umm |
| Dot com: | and Gunhaver comes across as a coach or (naturally) a drill sergeant |
| Dot com: | telling his troops not to get VD or something |
| Phlip: | ok, ditch "similar to" |
| Dot com: | to me, it's got health class written all over it |
| Dot com: | hence, Commandos in the Classroom |
| Dot com: | I'm not really trying to change your mind. But I do believe what I used to believe more strongly now, so this hasn't just been idle conversation. |
| Phlip: | I do see your point too |
| Phlip: | I'd forgotten how preachy these segments were |
| Dot com: | especially Captain Planet and his ilk |
| Phlip: | (I'd only seen them on Captain Planet myself, but they were very preach tyere) |
| Phlip: | yeah |
| Dot com: | heh |
| Phlip: | there* |
| Phlip: | great minds think alike |
| Phlip: | ok, so play down the similarity of content, just of structure... |
| Phlip: | how about "Many 90's childrens shows (including GI Joe) would have segments like this where the characters would tell the children how to behave" |
| Phlip: | or something |
| Phlip: | not happy with the last phrase |
| Dot com: | meh |
| Dot com: | now you're stretching |
| Dot com: | I'm not saying TBC didn't have that in the back of their minds, but I don't believe that's what they were thinking when they wrote it |
| Phlip: | yes, the more I think about it the less it seems like a direct reference... |
| Phlip: | though I still don't know why, if they weren't referencing it, they'd revive the cheat commandos to do it? |
| Dot com: | I'm sorry, I don't follow your last post |
| Phlip: | well, the cheat commandos haven't been seen for a while |
| Dot com: | wait |
| Dot com: | I see what you meant |
| Phlip: | if they just wanded PSA material they could have used one of many sets of characters |
| Phlip: | including the main bunch |
| Dot com: | true |
| Phlip: | SS and HR making a PSA, SB messing it up for them |
| Dot com: | but |
| Dot com: | they've been exploring other stuff for a while |
| Dot com: | (no sbemail in over 6 weeks) |
| Phlip: | this is also true |
| Dot com: | and the Commandos have personalities that fit this well |
| Dot com: | and Reinforcements: "hey guys" |
| Dot com: | that kills me! |
| Phlip: | hehe |
| Phlip: | oh well, I've gone neutral again |
| Phlip: | I'll mull over it a bit more |
| Dot com: | Gunhaver's a good arrogant personality, and Renold is a good wimp, and the other Commandos are good color |
| Dot com: | and the Blue Laser minions and commander are a hoot |
| Phlip: | good "generic evil persons" |
| Dot com: | (but I was actually hoping for a CC toon for a while now, so I'm a little biased in that regard) |
| Phlip: | me too |
| Phlip: | love the CC |
| Dot com: | WE'LL BLOW UP THE OCEAN!! |
| Phlip: | Part of this complete delicions breakfast! |
| Phlip: | (gallon of ice cream not pictured) |
| Dot com: | I mean, *how* could they possibly blow up the ocean!! |
| Phlip: | with a really big microwave ;) |
| Dot com: | oo ah, oo ah |
| Phlip: | lol |
| Dot com: | Firebert, you stay here and think of a better commando name |
| Dot com: | and The Cheat is just crushed at this |
| Dot com: | movie night is my favorite night... I think it is my favorite night |
| Dot com: | are you even trying anymore? |
| Phlip: | "fire the new grappling-hook zip-line (cheap as free)" |
| Dot com: | psst... don't tell the people on the "day shift", but we're using the channel for its intended purpose... to discuss the wiki and H*R |
| Phlip: | O_O shock horror |
| Dot com: | *no offense to the Eastern Hemisphere by the "day shift" remark, by the way |
