Yeah, I can see what you're talking about. But it still doesn't look 100% correct to me.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Goodbye Cinnamon, Hello Bacon Floss!

Yep, can't argue with that. However, I think you might be forgetting one important fact. Bacon = delicious. What more can I say?

Re: Rumor Confirmed! Cuisinart Ice-Cream Maker Includes Long Rumored Sprinkle Dispenser

Andrew Liszewski — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:53:44 -0000

Well, unfortunately it seems that I haven't been deemed worthy enough to get an actual review unit from Cuisinart. So I'm not able to compare it against the original model in terms of size or benchmarks. But I've heard a disturbing rumor that the Ice-45 can only be used to make chocolate ice cream. What the crap is that? What if I want to make vanilla or strawberry? Hopefully some clever chef will find a workaround so that it can be used with other flavors.

Ha ha ha! I wondered the same thing about that press image. There sure are a LOT of people asking questions at that meeting. But so few answers...

Andrew Liszewski — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 13:08:25 -0000

And just to mention, while I already have a list that's a mile long, I'll gladly take any requests into consideration. As long as I've actually played the game that is.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » The Games We Played - Law Of The West (C64)

Andrew Liszewski — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 12:17:53 -0000

No, I plan to cover everything probably up until the N64. That includes C64, Tandy, old PC games and even portable offerings from Tiger and Nintendo.

For whatever reason the 8GB model, at least with the latest firmware, has the equalizer settings removed.

Well let me be the first to welcome you to our site, but be forewarned, a banned account is the least of your worries here. In addition to writers, we also have an elite force of mercenaries on the payroll to deal with commentors who disagree with us. As we see it, why just delete a comment or ban an account when you can solve the problem by dealing with the source directly.

Also, we do post the occasional concept device and I still have a softspot for LEGO, but I can assure you the two will never cross paths here.

Phew! Thanks for stepping up to the plate TOstevo. I was getting worried that I'd have to be the one to make the sarcastic response.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Knight Rider KITT Attack Mode Revealed

Andrew Liszewski — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:30:52 -0000

Actually you're probably right about that. To be honest I couldn't remember what the special 'mode' was called, but Super Pursuit does ring a bell. Either that or 'Super Fast-Forward Driving Footage' mode.

It's true. The Yoshi sound effect was definitely the best one, by far.

Fixed.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Life Clock Ticks Away The Years

Andrew Liszewski — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:59:32 -0000

Actually I think Nathir is right. Looking more closely at the clock face there seems to be 7 years separating the numbers instead of just 5. (Even though there are only 5 sub-ticks.)

Hi Dan, I was hoping someone from your agency would see my post and comment. I'm glad to hear the promotion was real, and I'd love to see the reaction photos. So that neither of us have to divulge our email addresses please use our contact form to get in touch with me (using the 'Contact Us' link above) and I'll get in touch with you further.

Re: Private: The Games We Played - Goldeneye 007 (N64) - Also Known As The Greatest Game I’ve Ever Played

Andrew Liszewski — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 16:25:10 -0000

Yeah, I figured I'd get a few comments like this. And not that I need to defend my position, since it's just MY opinion, but I'm an avid gamer who has pretty much played (and enjoyed) anything of note since GoldenEye 007 was released. But I noticed that you failed to mention your favorite game so that other people could have a chance to point out why you're wrong.

It actually just went to the Tilly's page for the robot underwear you posted on BotJunkie.

Re: OhGizmo! » Archive » Miller Digital Elite Welding Helmets With Adjustable Modes & Auto Darkening Feature

Andrew Liszewski — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 10:59:53 -0000

Huh? This can somehow be construed as a review? While I may not be a welder, I know for a fact that some of our readers are, which is why I chose to write about it and bring it to their attention. It's not like I even say anything bad about it either. To quote Towely "I have no idea what's going on."

I don't deny that the t-shirt contest didn't exactly go down as smooth as we had hoped. But it was not something I had a hand in, and as a result I refrained from commenting on the situation whatsoever. So I'm not entirely sure where you read any comments from me bagging on any of the entries. I can assure you I do not want to incur the wrath of your headscratching posse.

Cool! Gorf is another one of the games I have in my C64 cartridge collection. Whenever I fire it up again I'll give your Easter Egg a try.

Re: 3-Axis Bubble Level Keeps Your Camera Straight

Andrew Liszewski — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 08:56:12 -0000

A 'decent tripod' would most definitely have levels built into the base and the head, so no matter where you set it up, you could ensure the camera was perfectly level.

Ah I see. I probably should have done a bit more homework on what that standard actually was. I was just 'paraphrasing' from the Laptop Magazine review, not that I'm pointing the finger or anything.

Thanks for the heads up.

You are correct. And there was no pun intended, just poor spelling.

Re: Private: OGCC Day 7 - Christmas Pop Art Toaster

Andrew Liszewski — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 10:14:18 -0000

Not only do the toast images look shopped, but the entire family huddled around the toaster looks pretty fake too.

Re: Private: OGCC Day 7 - Christmas Pop Art Toaster

Andrew Liszewski — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:21:07 -0000

Oh we're not denying the legitimacy of the company or the product, we're just nitpicking the oddly Photoshopped product shots. They couldn't have just taken a photo of a real piece of toast that came out of this thing?

Re: Private: [CES 2009] Hands-On With The Contour Design RollerMouse Free

This is actually an updated version of their RollerMouse Pro product, and from what I saw this version has a considerably wider scroll bar.

Yeah, I was gonna say. There was nothing cooler at CES this year than the 2 or 3 guys who were riding Segways all over the place.

Re: Private: Fast Finger Keyboards For You Hunt & Peck Types

Andrew Liszewski — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 10:33:13 -0000

As I understand it (though I could be wrong) the original QWERTY layout was designed specifically for typewriters, as it kept the most used characters spaced out on the keyboard to help reduce jams inside the typewriter. Or at least that's what DVORAK supporters use to claim the superiority of their layout, since QWERTY was apparently designed to slow typists down.

Re: Private: First Look At The GigaPan Epic

Andrew Liszewski — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 20:57:46 -0000

Yes, there's no reason it couldn't do that to get a rough grid of images gathered. The time difference between series of shots is more than long enough for the software to make an intelligent guess as to where a series begins and ends. However, you'd still have to go in and weed out duplicate shots anytime you had to do re-takes during a shoot, which was every time for us.

As it stands the GigaPan Stitcher software is definitely pretty basic right now, and there's plenty of room for improvement and polish.

Re: Private: B&H Selling A Rare Used Canon 1200mm f/5.6 Lens For Just $120,000

Andrew Liszewski — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 10:03:07 -0000

I know the article in the B&H newsletter says the used lens is being sold for 99k, but the 120,000 one is also listed under the Used Equipment section of their site. So I'm a bit confused to be honest.
