need a page deletion

Since the reason I created User:SacValleyDweller/Possible Future 2, namely how to adress the new Possible Future presented in The Line, has been solved by Bob, I no longer need the page. Could it be deleted for me? thanks!--SacValleyDweller 02:35, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

• I'll take care of it.--Bob (talk) 02:40, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
  • thanks!--SacValleyDweller (talk to me!) 02:45, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

The Line caps

• I'm going to go through and get as many missing screencaps from The Line as I can. Apart from a ton of Powers images, and lead images for new articles and characters, is there anything in particular that you've noticed we still need? I didn't get to do caps Monday because I got a new Tivo and was getting it set up (screencaps in HD next week!) and then I was kind of sick most of this week. Speaking of, how are you feeling?--Hardvice (talk) 01:00, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
  • I'm sorry to hear you're sick. That sucks. I'm feeling much better thanks. Antibiotics and massages work wonders....Golly, I think the main stuff is done, except for powers examples.
    • I guess you could check Category:Images to be Reuploaded, but that cat is pretty random and getting quite huge.
    • And you know to check special:wantedpages to see any places (Odessa warehouse, Ivan's home) and items.
    • It bugs me that Image:Adoptive muscle memory.jpg doesn't have Monica and the gymnast perfectly lined up, so I suppose that's something you could fix.
    • The fairly obvious product placement from Bob in New Orleans. Image:Bobpod.jpg
    • Bob demonstrating his power. Image:BobboPowers3.jpg
    • Is Bennet using one of the Company's guns? I forget.
    • I'm not a fan of our image of Ivan.
    • One of the banners at CVHS says "Save the ozone, save the world", I think. I'd love to see it.
    • Check to see if the HD version reveals a name for the Costa Verde officer who works with [[Ray].
    • Not a screencap, but if you're rewatching the episode, what song is playing during the drunk Debbie scene?
    • Thanks! G'night! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 01:17, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
  • Hardvice, I guess you're taking advantage of the Tivo service update that lets you pull content from the HD boxes? I was very happy to see that as I have only a Series 3 Tivo. (Admin 01:38, 2 November 2007 (EDT))
    • It is awesome but slow. On a wired connection, a one-hour episode takes about 1.5-2hrs to transfer. I'm pulling Pushing Daisies right now to test it out and make sure I can still a)crack the DRM and b)get caps. Hmmm ... pushingdaisieswiki.com is available :) --Hardvice (talk) 01:59, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
      • Man, I am really loving that show. It is so quirky and fun and just what I'd expect from Bryan Fuller. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 02:00, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
        • Ditto. I just started watching it after about the tenth person told me "I can't believe you of all people aren't watching that!" Oh gosh, Ryan. I just checked the video quality of the transfer from the Tivo. One frame at 100% is too big to fit on my monitor and it is super-duper clear. I think I'm going to cry. Of course, I won't be able to start pulling caps until around/after midnight each week, but that's a small price to pay.--Hardvice (talk) 02:06, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
          • Cry, my boy, cry. That's fantastic! I'm so jealous... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 02:07, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
            • THINK OF THE SCREENCAPS! Here's one from PD (no, I haven't watched that episode yet, so I just grabbed one at random). Bear in mind that PD is 1080i and Heroes is I think 720p, so it will be smaller, but should have less combing. This is going to give us much, much better screencaps without having to wait for an HD screencap site, and we can control exactly what we get.--Hardvice (talk) 15:06, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
              • ...And make more work for you. Fun. What's combing? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:02, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
                • Think Spaceballs where Dark Helmet has those guys in the desert.--Bob (talk) 17:07, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
                • Don't listen to Bob. Look at Ned's collar or the edge of his hand. See how it has kind of a stairsteppy, jagged edge? When you show a diagonal on an interlaced image, it gets that jagged effect because it's only drawing every other line. The interpolated screencaps don't correct it sufficiently. A progressive scan image displays all lines at the same time, so diagonals look more natural and less artifacty.--Hardvice (talk) 17:21, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
      • pushingdaisieswiki, eh? I dont know anything about the show... is it something that'd be good for a wiki or were you joking? :) (Admin 02:29, 2 November 2007 (EDT))
        • It doesn't lend itself particularly well to a wiki, no. But then again, I'm only two episodes in. Lemme catch up and I'll let you know.--Hardvice (talk) 03:01, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
        • Not as well as a show like Bionic Woman, but it's a fun show with quirky little details here and there. It has the feel of a Tim Burton movie, but not quite as dark. It's very much like a fairy tale or a storybook for grownups. If you get a chance to catch an episode, I highly suggest it. It doesn't take long to feel the tone of the show....Plus, last week, Ellen Greene and Kristin Chenoweth sang a duet of "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants. Right there alone is worth every second in the world. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 05:48, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
        • Pushing Daisies Wiki -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:03, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
          • I've been VHS-ing Kid Nation and watching PD online since they both air at the same time. Having seen all of the episodes, PD is definately lighter and with a cooler narrator than BW or even Heroes, but unfortunately PD is a one-trick pony and always deals with death. Also, its storyline is even more centralized than Bionic Woman's, so that makes it even tougher to document with a wiki, imho.--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:09, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
            • "A one-trick pony and always deals with death" is also a good description of Six Feet Under, arguably one of the best shows on television ever. :) --Hardvice (talk) 17:22, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
              • I wouldn't know since I don't watch cable. ;) But so many CSI's+ER+Bones+Reaper+...I could go on and on... = I've seen enough death on TV recently. I'm not saying that I'm not enjoying PD, cause I am, but it's just that I think it's kind of doom-ed to run out of original storyline--show after show of solving murder mysteries... On a different note, one of my favorite shows was "Early Edition", which was a similar one-trick pony that did well for a while, but was sadly cut after the fourth season. Six Feet Under had the advantage of airing on cable, and despite the extra funding and how good it was, it lasted only five seasons (just long enough for syndication?). I think that Heroes and BW have the opportunity to become awesome franchises a la Murder She Wrote and Baywatch. My thoughts are that Murder She Wrote got it right in the writing and in travelling a lot. Baywatch had the advantage of excellent casting and being always at the beach (the "skin" effect). ;)--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:54, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Tomorrow

• I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Good luck and remember to keep the tv turned down so you don't get feedback! :) (Admin 20:41, 2 November 2007 (EDT))
  • Thanks. I don't think I'll even have the TV on during filming. (Thank you, TiVo!) I have to say, I'm a little nervous, more than I thought I'd be. Should be fun. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:43, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
    • Good luck to you in the filming. If possible, remember to turn off (or put on silent/vibrate) both your home and cell phones when filming. I'm sure you'll do great, and I'm hoping I'll get a chance to see you online, seeing as I don't have cable to watch G4 and I didn't get that chance when I came up there in person. ;) I also hope the writers strike doesn't affect you next week...--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:54, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
      • Ooh, good reminder about the phone. Thx! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 09:19, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
    • Hope it all goes well. --Bob (talk) 11:09, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

The Post Show

I'm on the site now. I registered, but I can't find the link for a video feed. I'm in the java chat room though, and am hoping for the best (that the link suddenly pops up in 15 minutes...)--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:45, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

• I'm trying to access the post show link, but http://www.g4tv.com/thepostshow/index.html is returning as if the page doesn't exist... that's the page for the post show according to the website.--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:48, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
  • I didn't get to watch it live since there was no online video feed, but Admin told me at least one of my theories in the chat room made it to air. Hopefully the video will get posted somewhere people can see.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:51, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
    • I saw your name pop up at least three times. Send me an email explaining exactly what the problem was, and I'll forward it on to the producer. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:52, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
      • Did my text look okay? I was typing kind of fast cause the chat room was being flooded with comments. BTW, that url I mentioned above is still not working. I'll forward you an e-mail in a couple minutes.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:58, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
        • Your text looked fine. I can't remember what it said, but it was a theory about Kensei or Adam Monroe I think. Can't remember off the top of my head. Maybe I was too busy staring at Blair. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:01, 4 November 2007 (EDT)
          • Hope you're wife doesn't get jealous, j/k. Anyways, I sent you the e-mail bug report. I think my theory about Adam Monroe was that he was a collegue of Chandra Suresh, oh, and that he was a leader in the form of Adam Kane from Mutant X. No one caught on yet that Adam Kane has directed at least two episodes of Heroes? :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:41, 4 November 2007 (EDT)

Post Post Show

• Nicely done, Ryan! :) Any interesting experiences or discussions we didn't see? (Admin 23:22, 3 November 2007 (EDT))
  • Thanks. Nothing spoilery that you didn't see. Tim Kring had a stand in for the rehearsal, so everything I heard from him you heard too. The producers liked my shirt, though. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:50, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
    • Haha... if they'd like some free t-shirts, just get their sizes and a shipping address. :) (Admin 23:53, 3 November 2007 (EDT))
      • Actually, Japanimation14 was a huge help to me with lighting, set up, and all my tech stuff. Could you send me a shirt (size L) for him? If you don't have my mailing address still, email me....I asked if the guys at The Post Show wanted any shirts, but my message got lost in the IM process. I'll ask the producer directly. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:55, 3 November 2007 (EDT)
        • No problem. And I still have your address, I'll mail one out. (Admin 23:56, 3 November 2007 (EDT))

The whole Warehouses thing...

• I kinda made a mess of it. Sorry about that. Basically, I'd like to rename North Vegas warehouse to Las Vegas warehouse, but Las Vegas warehouse already exists, and redirects to Warehouse, which redirects to Warehouse (disambig). I think. Anyway, sorry about all the fuss, but could we delete Las Vegas warehouse so North Vegas can be renamed? Sorry again.... clearly I'm acting without engaging the brain today.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  07:41, 4 November 2007 (EST)
  • Oh, no problem. I'm glad you're separating the warehouses. I'll take care of the deleting, but I'm pretty sure you can just remove all the text from Las Vegas warehouse and then move North Vegas warehouse. If you still have trouble, I'll delete the redirect to make room for the move. And you're doing a great job, don't worry about anything. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 07:46, 4 November 2007 (EST)
    • I just took all the text from North Vegas, moved it to Las Vegas, and then made North Vegas redirect to Las Vegas. So that should be everything. Phew. Oh, and thanks a lot. I've discovered I really enjoy wiki editing, especially after an episode airs.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  07:49, 4 November 2007 (EST)
      • Actually, a manual move like that is not preferable because then we lose the history for the page. I'll take care of it. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 07:50, 4 November 2007 (EST)
        • Thought that's what you meant. Sorry. As for no evidence for warehouse being in the North... in the article it says that the warehouse was in Northh Vegas, hence where this whole thing started. But thanks again!--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  07:56, 4 November 2007 (EST)

Screencaps

Hey, If you need any screen caps done I have the resources to do so with great efficiency and at high resolution. I also have another suggestion. Hulu, an NBC thing I think, has full length movies and movie episodes. I applied for an invite so I might be able to help you there. Just some suggestions!-- Japanimation14 11:24, 4 November 2007 (EST)

• Thanks, those are great suggestions. You know I'm having trouble with my CD ROM drive right now. As an alternative, I know the episodes are posted at NBC.com, but the quality is not always the best. I tend to use a screencap site when I'm in a real pinch. I'm glad to know I can use you as a resource, and I just might take you up on that if I need. Thanks so much! Let me know what develops with Hulu. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:50, 4 November 2007 (EST)
  • No problem! I am going to head to bed soon seeing as I have to get up early tomorrow. Later!Japanimation14 12:03, 5 November 2007 (EST)

No, just pulling them out of Windows Media Player with a screencap program, They're also downloaded off the internet so the wuality is pretty good anyway. I am working on Kensei's corpse right now...--Japanimation14 00:07, 8 November 2007 (EST)

• Not until I am done doing screenshots!--Japanimation14 00:22, 8 November 2007 (EST)
• Can't get a clear shot of the last one for Out of Time...which means, I shall retire to my bed. G'night!--Japanimation14 00:26, 8 November 2007 (EST)
  • Night. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:36, 8 November 2007 (EST)

Darthyotho

Unbelievable. I typed in "Phasing Effect" in google and found a video by a person who goes by the name "Darthyotho" on youtube. I looked around, couldn't find any contact information. I did a google search on his name, and found his name in YOUR archives, he's apparently a member here. I got his email in the same way, in your archives, so I'm emailing him, but this is why: here and here. His effects are ace! He'd a) make a great addition to the "Heroeswiki Heroes" cast of characters (I hope one builds up, lol.) and b) he'd be able to help me learn that phasing effect. I really hope he gets my email and comes back here to check it out.--Riddler 15:47, 5 November 2007 (EST)

• That's a good story. I hope it works out for you. :) Speaking of Googling, my mom Googled my name after The Post Show, and she was really surprised at the hits that were returned. She said, "Wow, Ryan, you really love Heroes, don't you!" Then she read some of my interviews and was finally convinced of my nerdiness. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:05, 5 November 2007 (EST)
  • If I knew how to do this type of stuff, I would willingly film and do it. --DocM 17:30, 5 November 2007 (EST)
    • If you want to film a simple scene and send it to me, I'll edit it for you. Check my userspace for details. Pick an easy power, like Enhanced Speed. --Riddler 17:33, 5 November 2007 (EST)

Genesis

You know, it's funny. I still haven't seen the full episode of "Genesis" either. For some reason the bug didn't bite me at the time so I never saw it on NBC and I haven't been able to catch up online recently. But everything since I've seen in full. -- Riffsyphon1024 00:40, 8 November 2007 (EST)

• Heh. I didn't realize that was still on there--yeah, I've seen Genesis by now, but I know what you mean. I'll have to do some trivia updates at some point. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 06:14, 8 November 2007 (EST)

The interview is up

• Finally I got it up! Hooray. I've been so busy I just had time today. But nonetheless I got it up. I was hoping we could add a couple pictures of her but I'm not sure of how to do that. I tried to post the one on the Zeroes page but a weird box came up. Jason Garrick 18:02, 10 November 2007 (EST)
  • Great, congratulations, Jason! I'm just getting back from a funeral in Maryland, so I'll check it out soon, and then I'll look into the image issue. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:31, 10 November 2007 (EST)
  • Nicely done, Jason. Very fun interview. As for images, I have a few pictures Diana has sent me, but I'd prefer to use something you have. What exactly is the problem you're having with adding the images? I didn't see anything in your contributions, so I'm assuming you previewed and didn't save. Did you type "Image:" before the file name? Try posting it, and saving it, even if it makes a weird box. That way I can see if I can fix something. If you're still having trouble, just explain exactly what the problem is. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:58, 10 November 2007 (EST)

Nero and your DVD drive.

I left you a message on the discussion page of The Post Show, but I though this would be more direct. I have Nero on my computer[which I could bring over to your house] and I also have access to an External CD-RW drive. If you think you have use of either of those just tell me. I have time. --Japanimation14 23:28, 10 November 2007 (EST)

• Yeah, let's check it out and see if it works. Wanna come over tomorrow? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:29, 10 November 2007 (EST)
  • Sounds stupendous! I'll talk to my dad for a ride over. Hopefully no one will need the desktop for a little while but those chances are pretty slim, seeing as I have a dictatorial grip over it. :D --Japanimation14 23:42, 10 November 2007 (EST)
    • Very cool. We'll talk tomorrow morning. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:58, 10 November 2007 (EST)

No-break links

• I made a template that will make a link non-breaking: Template:Nbl. Since you work with navbars a lot, I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Basically, it just saves us from having to do all of that [[Graphic Novel:How Do You Stop an Exploding Man|Graphic Novel:How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?]] nonsense. You can instead just type {{nbl|Graphic Novel:How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?}}--Hardvice (talk) 00:34, 11 November 2007 (EST)
  • Ooh, fantastic. You are a great ideas man. Thanks, Hardvice, that will come in very handy! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment)
    • I try. I also added a section on the various link templates to Help:Editing since it's not completely clear how some of them work. Ditto Help:Tables of Contents. I think that's about all of the pointless background goo I've been up to since I last saw you (well, except for adding an internav template for GN places).  :) --Hardvice (talk) 00:34, 11 November 2007 (EST)
      • Saw me? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:36, 11 November 2007 (EST)
        • Well, you WERE on tv afterall. :) (Admin 00:38, 11 November 2007 (EST))
          • Touché. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:39, 11 November 2007 (EST)
            • e-Saw you, I suppose. It's not like I'm sitting in that big tree right outside your window or anything...--Hardvice (talk) 00:42, 11 November 2007 (EST)
              • Oh good, because that'd be scary. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:43, 11 November 2007 (EST)
                • And also creepy. (Admin 00:46, 11 November 2007 (EST))
                  • Certainly, nobody would ever insinuate that Hardvice is a stalker. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:49, 11 November 2007 (EST)
