Profile

Name: Phillip Bradbury
Age: 21
Location: Newcastle, NSW, Australia
Inner left thigh measurement: 31cm
Currently: Studying 4th year of B Engineering (Software) at UNCLE.
How I found Homestar Runner: A couple of people were talking about it in a chat channel once, and someone posted a link to crazy cartoon. I watched it, and was both amused and confused... then I watched the latest Strong Bad Email, which at the time was mile - having seen two PbTC toons in a row, I thought they just couldn't do flash well, even though it was kinda funny at times (though I didn't really get mile of course). Then I saw First Time Here?, and watched A Jorb Well Done as it said to, another toon with relatively bad graphics, and which to this day I still don't find very funny. But then I watched all the Character Videos, and some other SBEmails, and got hooked.
How I found HRWiki: 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.
Shiny new website: http://www.mrphlip.com/ – Hosted by FellowSites... cheap, friendly, and I'm helping (in an admittedly small way) to keep the wiki alive. On the downside, I sound like an advertisement when I talk about it...

Miscellaneous Randomness and Random Miscellany

My major contributions to the wiki:

The transcripts for:
- space program, along with VolatileChemical
- Weclome Back, along with H*Bad
- cliffhangers
- retirement A
Creating Help:Namespaces
Transcribed much of Flashforward Interview - 10 Feb 2006
Some of the work on Thy Dungeonman 3, in particular, the majority of Thy Dungeonman 3 Messages and Image:Thy Dungeonman 3 Kiga Identikit.png
Got the Cologne Blue skin working... I might do the others too one day.
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 and 2006 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!
Along with It's dot com and most of the rest of the admin/sysop team, pulled off an April Fools Day joke. On April Fools Day, even. Details here.
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 [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] for this enjoyable debate about a [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Commandos in the Classroom#And Knowing Is Half the Battle!|fun fact]] that was in [[STUFF]] at the time.

-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | 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"
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | not all the cartoons that had these segments did something like that
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | remember it's a parody of the whole genre, not just GI Joe
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | though it is mostly GI Joe
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | there again, we disagree. I think they would have been more blatantly GI Joe if they meant it more than "health class" video
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | *film
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | yeah, I see what you mean
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | 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
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | my plurals are messed up in that sentence
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | 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
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | so ignore that
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | agreed the content of that PSA is worded more like a health class video
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | 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
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | kinda like, ehhh, with the teeth together and the mouth spread
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | this is exactly why it took me this long to vote on the fact...
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | maybe it deserves a rewrite - make it less GI Joe-specific, and less definite (add "could be" or something)
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | 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
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | hmm... I guess so
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | and only about 1 in 500 facts is a good "could be", in my estimation
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | although notice I did not say zero
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | every now and then, we need a "could be" or a "may be"
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | how about "This episode is similar to the segments that many 90's childrens shows (including GI Joe) would inclde after their show"
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | removes "based on" and replaces "and now you know" with something more recognisable to people like me who've never actually seen GI Joe
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | see, I don't think it's like those at all
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | it's not preachy enough
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | true
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | umm
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | and Gunhaver comes across as a coach or (naturally) a drill sergeant
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | telling his troops not to get VD or something
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | ok, ditch "similar to"
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | to me, it's got health class written all over it
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | hence, Commandos in the Classroom
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | 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.
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | I do see your point too
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | I'd forgotten how preachy these segments were
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | especially Captain Planet and his ilk
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | (I'd only seen them on Captain Planet myself, but they were very preach tyere)
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | yeah
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | heh
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | there*
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | great minds think alike
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | ok, so play down the similarity of content, just of structure...
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | 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"
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | or something
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | not happy with the last phrase
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | meh
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | now you're stretching
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | 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
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | yes, the more I think about it the less it seems like a direct reference...
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | though I still don't know why, if they weren't referencing it, they'd revive the cheat commandos to do it?
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | I'm sorry, I don't follow your last post
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | well, the cheat commandos haven't been seen for a while
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | wait
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | I see what you meant
-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:blue">'''Phlip:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | if they just wanded PSA material they could have used one of many sets of characters
-|-

-|-

-|-

-|-

-|-
-| style="text-align: right;" valign="top" | <span style="color:darkred">'''Dot&nbsp;com:'''</span> || style="text-align: left" valign="top" | and the Commandos have personalities that fit this well
