Burning of the Vid

Lately, Benoit and I have been on the DVD burning bandwagon (fueling the reason why I’m modding my XBox since my DVD player was crap – by the way, I got my mod chip last night. Niiice.) for Star Wars related flicks.

It’s not enough to have just the movies…we have to have it all! So far we managed to get some highly sought after vids from Jennie – the Original Trilogy (that’s right – not the Special Editions!) from the Laserdisc rip, as well as the beloved Turkish Star Wars which I will soon have a viewing party for. It is great. I have just fast-forwarded and so far I have noticed footage from both Star Wars AND Raiders of the Lost Arks. Oh, you non-copyright Turkish films…you art funny.

Anyhow, I’m just stoked that the Internet is a wild, wild place for making professional looking DVDs. I mean, I can burn a DVD that I download from the Net, print a label to stick onto the disc, and buy an empty DVD case to place a cover onto. This is a full-fledge bootleg business here!

I heard a rumour that someone makes copies of DVDs and sells them on EBay to foreign countries because it is not illegal for them to buy them…that is a sweet, sweet business my friend. Extra cash? No problem!

In random other news, Mike the Roomie is starting to get some interviews coming his way. Congrats! Too bad one of them is literally across town in Kanata. Yikes! Invest in a video iPod! Or, at the very least, buy my iPod Photo off of me so I can buy a viPod.

update: Literally a minute after posting this, Mike gets a job offer from his old co-op position! He doesn’t even have to go for an interview today in Kanata! Yay!
