In case of HIVE break glass

[Blackrat]

Well, my Outer Limits Marathon was whittled down to 3.8 episodes due to my lack of being able to rewind my VHS tape.

Whuh? The machine broke? You know you can rewind them by hand? That is a frigging timeconsuming process but it is possible.

Forgot to rewind the tape all the way before it started to record the marathon. It started to record the marathon from the middle of the tape.

Right now iI'm recording Species II to watch it later.

Ah, now that makes sense. It's been so long since I've used VHS that I didn't even remember what a drag they are .

Which is why I can't wait to get my new computer.

Swordlands? Are you GM/DM 'ing it?

No - check my sig.

Swordlands is the game I play in, alternating with the Keep on the Shadowfell game that I'm running.

D'oh!

I too share the joy of making mistakes in recording things on VHS. Too many to mention. Oh, and of course when old VHS tapes begin to decay and become useless, that was fun, too. Not.

Love live the digital age!

Funny thing is that I've been reusing the same tape for recording for almost a year and a half, recording stuff practically daily. There are minor defects with the tape due to this, but not enough to be noticeeable.

Even DVDs decay. I believe their half life is 50 years. Not sure about HD/BD discs though.

Of course, any new piece of storable media is always described as 'uncorruptible', 'unbreakable' & 'will never lose it's data' for the first couple of years of it's life.

We all know it's a lie, but it's a nice lie to believe.
