you know you spend too much time in the HTF Software section when... (1 Viewer)

[Mark-W]

The license plate of the car in front of you reads,
"RAH 393," and you instantly think, "'Vertigo'!"
What symptoms of HTF Software section addiction do
you present?

[Paul McElligott]

You're watching or reading a Star Wars story, and you start thinking, "R2? R5? Why are the 'droid region-coded?"

 

[Kyle McKnight]

you know you spend too much time in the HTF Software section when...

...you post After Hours threads in the software section.

 

[Robert Spalding]

You know you spend too much time in the HTF Software section when...

you actually post a response in a thread entitled, "You know you spend too much time in the HTF Software section when..."

 

[Dan Lindley]

When you click on your HTF bookmark and the words to the Cheers themesong pop into your head....

 

[Ricardo C]

...When you start getting pissed off at people at work because they don't seem to know what "OAR," "DD EX," "LFE," or "ISF" mean

...When people look at you like you're crazy when you speak of "PAL speed-up"

 

[David Lambert]

...When Best Buy's stock value goes down, and your co-workers blame you for not picking up enough DVDs this past Tuesday. True story.

 

[Scott Weinberg]

...when your signature reads "I'll beat up anyone who asks about Star Wars DVDs."

You start to think that maybe your glasses are adding edge enhancement to the tree by your front porch

ROTFL!!!
... could be just a compression artifact.

When out to dinner with friends and one of them says that a certain DVD looks "so awesome" when you know for a fact that you and all your pals here in HTF hate the f*cking transfer but you could never explain to your friends at dinner what EE and compression is and if you try to they just label you a stereo dork. Then, the inability to communicate boils your insides and makes you want to lash out at the general crapulence of J6P and then you realize how the very people you are eating with are representative of the dark evil masses the studios cater to who aren't discrminating enough to care about quality home theater--your most closely cherished hobby, activity, and emotional obsession. The internal torment breeds indigestion and an inability to finish your dinner, let alone spend more time with these mean-median-and-mode fuddy-duddys. The primal rage envelops you like a cancer until you cathartically cure it with a dosage of hometheaterforum.com later that evening, where you read about some great DVD you missed, at which point Blockbuster is closed and it's too late to watch a movie at reference level. Sleep happens only with dreamy side effects of bigger screens ISF calibrated in a dedicated listening room somewhere in a castle on a remote part of the planet and only Netflix knows where to find you.

 

[David Lambert]

Jay, that was really scary!

 

[Brenton]

When you can tell whether "EE" stands for Edge Enhancement or Extended Edition simply from the context.

 

[Vince Maskeeper]

Seriously, for me it came when once a week I'll get a call from a friend asking if it's "safe" to buy a particular DVD- or if a better edition is coming along (or rumored). I can seemingly rattle off full details on DVD releases for even the most obscure release, down to release dates and features.

My Girlfriend called me from work a few weeks back to ask (on behalf of a co-worker) exactly what the story was for the releases of LOTR, and what would be included. Amazingly, even though I had only really paid peripheral attention, I was able to rattle of full details and release dates for all the various versions...

 

[Jeff Bamberger]

You know what movie comes in a Baboon's Ass "Case".
