MumBASA!!!

So this has been a slow weekend. A combination of feeling a bit cruddy and the blistering heat outside has discouraged me from venturing outdoors, so I've caught up on some valuable goofing-off time.

I've really enjoyed the "Father of the Pride" DVD set, which has the entire series on a single RSDL DVD. The image quality of the DVD is a sight to behold; Dreamworks really did an amazing job on this series and it saddens me that it didn't become popular enough to sustain itself. It had pretty good ratings numbers, but the show was too expensive to survive with those numbers. {:(

I've taken a good number of screencaps from the DVD; basically the top half of thumbnails, up to the one with the two tiger cubs, are from the DVD, the rest were lifted from the Dreamworks Fansite. A fun show; if you pick up the DVD set, be sure to watch "The Lost Episode"; NBC pulled the plug so suddenly that they were halfway through production of an episode (recorded, but not animated) when it happened, and they ended up with a storyboard-only episode!

On the geeky side, I'm trying to find a video card, preferably Nvidia, that will drive dual DVI and TV-out at the same time. No luck yet; the only card I've found that'll do that costs $600; for that much I can build a whole other computer to handle the video! I'm also considering building a gaming system, which would of course run.. *shudder*.. Windows XP. I suppose if I only play games on it, I'll be mostly safe from the insecurity of Windows, but it'll still feel icky to run it. I haven't owned a Windows system since 2002!
