Mr Fidget has been banned again? In case you're wondering ... he will never learn.

No he hasn't... Nor has he ever been banned.

At 44:54 of Spec Sheet broadcast 20140812: "I didn't really notice the rule that said about diggin' up personal informaion (sic) about people and that seems to be, like, my specialty other than editing I'm pretty good at pickin' up stuff so..."

Then there's this:

...So I dug up ALL of his personal info in a matter of an hour. (in the event admins would need it) All his court case records (related and unrelated to his story), photos, social media sites, family info, you name it.   Then after I called him out on his "threat" and made it apparent in the post that I had his info, didn't see him around for a couple days.   I know he's not banned but hopefully he has some shit in perspective now about how things works.

Look "Kham":

During your "Fidget War" a few weeks ago this only a very small example of your ramblings:

If so Mr. Midget, I am not worried about a guy who brags and posts videos of himself riding a bike in circles with coffee on his head.  You are hotdog water.   And so are your repetitive empty promises of "ignoring" someone or "leaving to pursue life enriching endeavors" only to come back like 20 min later to get the "last word" that you so genuinely wish you could cherish on here.  I already have great things going now for me.  Why dont you take those 'good thing in store' out of storage and use them on yourself to enrich the life that you have squandered.   What did you do with everyone's money anyway?  Just answer that and I will stop teasing you.

Once I heard on the gabcast how important "having the last word" on your thread was to you, its brought me much entertainment watching you get your panties twisted when its robbed from you like every 20 min by someone.

I point this out only to show that, despite your many attempts to denigrate Mr. Fidget, you showed your own inability to cease in the compulsive behavior by remaining engaged. I called you out on it a couple of times, but as per my prediction as you may recall, you could not resist temptation and continued.

To be clear, I am no Fidget apologist, but I would be remiss in not pointing out your own inability at nearly any original cognitive thought. Almost no matter where you go (internet or podcasts) you cannot resist the opportunity to mention your Youtube hits or videos. The truth is however, you greatly exaggerate your "accomplishments"  to the point of lying about them (you probably call it 'semantics' but they are untruths - found on various forums).

There is clearly something mentally askew with Mr. Fidget, but continuing ad naseum a mindless dialogue with him may also show your own inability to divorce yourself from the reality that you are exhibiting the same behavior, despite your attempts to convince otherwise.

As for your two "specialties":

1) Your self-taught video editing, which is quick-cut, on-the-beat style, is nothing more than inane eye-candy drivel to directionless teens and twenty-somethings, who substitute instant gratification for thoughtful originality and creativity. Spending 200 hours blending your friends' band promotion music with 24 terabytes of selected clips from Hollywood movies you've downloaded (surely more by now since your quote), for me hardly qualifies as "unique" talent. This, IMO, is why, despite your bemusement as to why they haven't come pounding at your apartment door, companies don't return their calls or contacts. You're not unique.

2) Mr. Fidget's info is child's play. So was yours. I'll try and give a little advice - why I bother I don't know - perhaps it's the "late-night aging prostate" - but try assimilation into so-called normal society, especially for someone your age who apparently wants to accomplish something, but can't quite figure out why it's not working. Lose the right eyebrow ring piercing and lower lip piercing - it's just not becoming. Your association with folks "on the fringe" and the significant age difference is also unbecoming of so-called professionals. Try interacting with peers your chronological age - because I guarantee you will derive no wisdom from the people with whom you currently "hang."

Do I really expect you to take any of my so-called advice? Nope - but there's always the chance you may wake up someday very soon and say, "Shit! I'm forty years old, and I'm still heavily into playing video games and Youtube videos. Maybe I should listen to that shit-for-brains HAL 9000 guy and clean up my act."

Maybe not though. Maybe you'll make it big playing on the edges of society, in an underworld of arcane music known by few, and followed by fewer still. It seems though, that you've expressed interest in playing with the "big-boys," though you later denounced ever willing to work for them. Perhaps youthful (maturity, not chronological) indiscretion.

So in conclusion (finally!) a few thoughts. I know. Believe me, I know. Consider channeling your mostly rote learning of video editing, and turn it into marketing for mainstream audiences. Consider beauty vs. bling. Though I have nothing against self-taught skills, there is a sense that a traditional education may also lend legitimacy to your skill set.

Less bloviating, more original content. Less language that mimics Snoop Dawg, as it belies your true age.

Ignore Fidget.

IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON 'KING

Look "Kham":

MABUSE: Objection, Your Honor, for the usage of a homophone that could cause considerable reputation damage via subliminal association with my client who is here to witness this special court.

Judge Spikegirl: That's a reach. Overruled. I've heard better arguments from Monster Cable.

Cam: God DAMN it! Shit! 'King hell!

Judge Spikegirl: Cam is fined $600.00 for contempt of court. Another outburst like that, and you'll be having breakfast in jail, Mr. Pottymouth Automat, not to mention spiritual fallout for uncouth blasphemy. You and your attorney are present as a courtesy. HAL9000's argument stands as delivered. "Kham" will be allowed.

BTW, I really love that stenomask you're wearing, Pirate King Atomsk. A certain Silence of the Lambs ambiance for sure for sure. It's kinda hot, too.

Pirate King Atomsk: (nods vigorously, makes arcane gestures with his hands)

Cam starts to rise and scream again but MABUSE quickly applies a Vulcan neck pinch, forcing him to sit back down, then strongly whispers words about taking a break with a green goddess on Bourbon Street after this public hearing and that if he again feels the need to scream and interrupt, to stop, and carefully ask himself, "What would A.C. do?"

Pirate King Atomsk is leaning in, but can't pick up MABUSE's words. The stenomask reminds Phantastic SanShiSan of The Green Hornet.

Cam reluctantly acquiesces before passing out due to MABUSE's failure to loosen his Thelema Fu Grip.

Cam's head THWACKS the table like a troll being bitch-slapped. Dexteresque blood spatter patterns crown the courtroom floor in grotesque Rorschachian g(l)ory. Cam's blood type is oh so negative right about now.

Judge Spikegirl: Recess! And I didn't even have to use the gavel, thanks to Cam's megacephalic countenance.  Bailiff Mordred Caruthers612, escort Cam's head to the clinic. Use the wheel barrel normally reserved for MV's bags of money.

And would someone please clean up this crimson blood in the court!?

Then there's this:



Look "Kham":

Nah, I won't argue with the fact that I shouldn't have argued with him in the first place.  Your points are valid but filled with incorrect information.  The mention of "not knowing the rules" was answering their question why I was banned the first time. I was arguing with a completely different person then.
And yes I do overmention my videos. Something I will clearly not do as much now that it's been brought to my attention. So thank you for that. Believe it or not, there are large gaps of time where I dont even mention them, so when I do have it brought up, I say something.

Not really sure I brought up my videos on that cast. I remember bringing up the Youtube 60fps thing. They actually asked ME about the videos. But its whatever, I am not mad at ya for attacking the only thing people can find to attack me on.  Im sure no matter what I created, Im sure "it'd suck" anyway in your argument. I guess you uploading and horribly remixing other people's music shouldn't be mentioned here either. (yes, i found you mentioning your bullshit too) Even going as far as pathetically trying to make a chat room for people to join. But yes HAL, I must be the desperate one for attention here.  4 years of your life and 900 posts later, and now you're giving ME advice.  I am so grateful for this, indeed.   

   As far as anything public you have seen of mine, that is strictly fanmade stuff for people who like my style of editing. It hardly embodies what I've done for companies and other media outlets.  Or what I would consider actual "work". In fact, I rarely get to do 2D film editing like that for actual work.   Its mostly 3d stuff.   (like you care right?) The whole "Self Taught" was more focusing on the software. Yes, I don't have "film school" experience. Haven't needed it yet. When I do, then Ill consider it. Thanks for the suggestion.  Maybe brush up on your music mixing skills as well.

Im sure anything you've dug up on me in these "various" forums you speak of where I have "exaggerated" my accomplishments, was probably taken out of context either by you or the situation in which the posting took place.  Or it could be just random shit talking from the many haters I have out there. Mad that never got an opportunity to work professionally, because they refuse to move passed working with anime and amvs. Don't know, don't care. I have no feelings for shit THAT far in the past.

But you are absolutely right about even lifting a finger to dig up anything on Fidget. Despite me being able to work while doing it, it was still a waste of time in the end.  I only did it in case he had someone attack the forums and the admins would need his info.  Still, its way overthinking on my end.  Especially when there are 3 or 4 people here who know exactly who he is now.

Aside from your wisdom in avoiding confrontation with people like fidget, the rest of your opinions about me really don't matter much.  Cause anything you read or THINK you read about me, doesn't graze the truth about who I am or what I've done. All that's online about me, is what I've allowed there to be.    You hit the dead end of your search quick, Im sure.   Leaving you only my (fanmade, non commissioned) videos to talk about.  Just like everyone else.

I expected more from you HAL9000. I figured you of all people here would have dug a little deeper than just my cosmetically, easy-to-find info.  Especially after commenting how it was "child's play".  Sounds about right. Since that's about as far as a child with google would have got. I am far from 40 (late 20s) lol, and no piercings (not sure what poor guy you found a photo of) Sorry   Haven't had a photo of me online since 2002.  But that doesn't detract from your main point.  Which was well thought out and written.
And your advice is well received. Easy targets like fidget wont have my participation anymore.

So instead of going back and forth with you over this guy, I will say your post was an eye-opener for how much actual time I wasted bickering with Fidget in the past.   
Thank you for over-analyzing a situation that frankly doesn't mean shit in my "real" world, and summarizing it all up into a helpful dose of solid, reasonable advice. 
 
Also Its important to note that Mr. Fidget was mentioned before I even called in. I never brought him up nor continued my discussion with him on this forum since over a week ago.  Where all this "continuing to discuss him" bullshit is coming from is anyone's guess. Certainly wasn't me that brought his name up again.

Maybe a bit of consistency getting on people's ass that constantly bring him up or harass him other than the argument I got in with him.  As far as Im concerned, until someone brings him up again, he doesnt exist to me.  I forgot all about him until he was mentioned today again.   

I can only admit that I was wrong by continuing to talk with him.  However I can't take the blame if other people like you get butthurt at the mere mention of his name by someone else first.   I will only take responsibility if I personally initiate or bait another argument.  Which will be a little hard considering I ignored Fidget almost a week ago after my last post to him.

For real man.  I'd just like to move the hell on.  I got sucked into a shitty argument with the guy and its been butthurt city since.  I have already stated in retrospect, arguing with the guy is like iceskating uphill. Fidget Effect is a pretty good word for it.

Thanks for helping clear some of this up man. Like you, I also put him on ignore.  I just engaged WAY too much before coming to my senses.  I got sucked back in over and over. And yeah, I regret the time wasted.  But you are hardly to blame for what HAL is whining about right now.  He's just pointing out a weakness I had not recognized.   Fortunately he had some good advice mixed in with all his random, mis-informed insults.   So its all good. All we can do is just keep MF ignored and maybe, someone else will be associated with riling him up in the future. 
I just dont wanna argue with the other users here over something I truly feel was a mistake. 
So those who hate me right now for bickering with fidget so long, please accept that Im tryin to get past it and would like to just go forward.  And that's the last I will say pertaining to this person.  Just gonna start ignoring people who bring him up to me from now on.

No hard feelings or anything.  Just feel like I'm given people a vibe that they don't like. And I don't want to be THAT guy who hangs around when they're not wanted.

Cam looks at the couple in the process of breaking up. They stop speaking as he stares. The elevator briefly shudders during descent, causing hearts to rise to throats.

"Well this is awkward," Cam says and laughs.

"Yeah, " the guy says, not laughing.

The girl mumbles something.

Ten second pause.  Cam looks at the girl.

No, I can speak for them. They can correct me later if need be.

Despite the brief amount of time I've known Mr. Fidget and acknowledging the far far longer time I've crossed digital channels with HAL 9000, I would say those two would be among the last members who would want you to feel like you have to leave due to disagreements, arguments, positioning, what have you. I don't know of what specific toes you speak when you say "everyone," and I may be completely out of the loop and ignorant here due to absence. If so, it would not be the first time. So it goes.

Now, having said the above, your avatar does bring to mind Sylvia Browne's necrotic fingers scalloping her zombiefied/poorly embalmbed clitoris.

Gross... But yeah, I doubt they do either. And I am not 'leaving' I am just not gonna post pertaining to this situation anymore. Nor will I mention my videos here anymore.  There's just too much there for potential drama to start.  My problem started when I ignored advice Onan or b_dubb (cant remember which one) gave me at the beginning. And that was to just ignore the dude, and any other asswipe that had nothing to do with their day but troll users.    Now that I took the advice and ignored 2 or 3 people,  I seriously doubt Ill be pulled into another needless, lengthy argument.   I sincerely apologize to everyone who had their time wasted watching that mindless bickering play out.    It was immature of me to take part.    That being said, I had a PM from someone after this morning, pointing out that I shouldn't give up participating with the other 99% of the people I like on here just because that 1% have a problem with me.   Something I should have realized before sayin I'd stop posting.

Last thing I wanted was attention for it. Just thought it'd be easier to catch that chat room  once in a while and/or call the podcasts once in a while, rather than posting on the actual forum.    But since my past posts bothered these 2 or 3 gentlemen, Id advise them to ignore me as well.  So future posts by me wont have replies in which I wont be able to see.   

Again, sorry everyone for the illusion of "butthurt" when it was really just being gullible to contagious bullshit, and realizing it too late.  It will NOT happen again  

And thanks for the PMs/Advice.  Very informative stuff.

But in regards to what I was discussing on the Spec Sheet, if anyone want's to check this out:
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/you-can-now-watch-youtube-videos-in-60fps-starting-with-battlefield-titanfall/1100-6420772/
I am sure most of you can visually see the difference. 
And I wonder if the people who claim they cant see the difference between 30 and 60fps  actually cant.  Maybe its similar to being colorblind or something?  Anyone know for sure if there are case studies where some people's eyes cant see as fast?

This will not only help game players/streamers deliver better content, it should provide a nice place for GoPro footage and other High Framerate videos to be placed.   I sure hope they start rolling this out soon.

edit:: oh yeah forgot, youll have to click 720p or higher to see it in that framerate.  Don't know why they did that.
