Halo |OT8| A Salt on the Control Room

Anyone got any HDMI captures of Halo 3 Clips they would be willing to send my way?
Preferably sharp/not-compressed enough to still see the aliasing (I.E. not Youtube clips)?
Is there some website with raw clips you can download directly maybe?

I wanna try something out in After effects, but I don't got a capture card yet.
Also, what card would you guys recommend that could get this level of clarity, and will I need a spare HDD or SSD to record at that rate?

A man I really looked up to. :(

On Halo news, I really want to know what that Trevor kid's Gamertag is. It could very easily been someone who was cleansed.

RIP of course but people should remember that Armstrong didn't do that much really, not compared to those who made Moon landing possible, all the engineers etc people who built and designed the spacecraft for that. (EDIT also, it could be argued Yuri Gagarin would be more important being the first human in space but then again he just flew the rocket, he didn't build it)

Sorry, i just don't like hailing people as heroes or symbols when they don't do that much, other people usually make their accomplishments possible.

Right. It was a team effort. But that doesn't diminish the importance of Armstrong and the fact that he deserves respect.

Blackmagic Intensity Pro. No queston. The raw video is so nice. Unfortunately I just deleted all my raw video (Cleaning up and making the switch to SSD this weekend). I could record something you want and send an uncompressed unedited raw copy but be specific it gets huge fast.

And a 7200rpm harddrive is fast enough to record the Blackmagic Media Express Avi compression (Which is like no compression and really raw good quality), but go SSD if you want to record even higher completely uncompressed quality in another program like VirtualDub.

Because he's the icon. I doubt any people in the space program back then are salty about Neil getting praise. Deserves every bit of respect and dedication he's getting right now.

Really? Armstrong is a legend regardless of what you think. The sight of him landing on the moon alone was a HUGE morale boost to the citizens of the United States. To say that he isn't as important as he obviously is, is a huge low blow. Bad form.

Oh i understand that. And i don't doubt many people don't care about being famous etc. they're content knowing they did their job. I'd be such one.

But i just ask people to remember that this couldn't have happened without all the thousands nameless and faceless people who made it possible.

EDIT can't really give a shit about someone being a morale boost though, no matter the nationality. But then i'm not patriotic even slightly. One world, one species, one nation.

I think that this is kind of obvious, and no one is disputing the "faceless" one's contribution. But to, on the day of his death, say that he isn't as important as he is, is kinda messed up.

I'm guessing you only get you'er news from main steam media outlets right? Sheeple will always believe what the magical TV tells them. The Russian's find the joke of a american moon land quite funny. They were way ahead of us with a space program and knew it could not be done. By the way on the moon landing anniversary NASA some how lost the original crystal clear tapes to the historic moon landing. Do some research. There is more evidence that prove we didn't go then we did. All you have is there word and the most grainy footage they could produce. Their are american astronauts that don't beleive it happened. We landed on the moon 40 years ago and never been back. Don't you think we should have a base on the moon by now?

Woorlong, when you climb into a pressurized, flammable tube and navigate to, land on, and return safely from the moon using a graphing calculator, then you can say it's overrated :)

Engineering is one thing. *Doing* is another.

It was the very first of the Apollo series of spacecraft, as indicated by the name. Several years before 11, three astronauts got into the personnel module in the lab, in controlled conditions, and it randomly burst into 3000 degree flames and incinerated them all.
There's also the more famous case of Apollo 13, which had a movie made about it if I recall correctly.

My point is, every single one of those astronauts were heroes, who did what they did under perilous circumstances. To say that they were anything other than heroes is an insult to their memory.

I'm not saying what Armstrong did was overrated, frankly it sounds very scary. I'm not sure i could've done it.
But ultimately the person who did the job isn't that important though, it was the job itself that mattered.
Again, this view stems from how i see the world, i do not see people as important as the events themselves. Even though inviduals can have great impact on the history.

So because you are born 20 years after something you are supposed to have absolutely no empathy? Ok.

You can understand and appreciate a situation without being directly involved in it.

Really? Wow. I don't see how an event can be more important than the people directly involved. People are us. Without us the world is just another ecosystem. We are unique, and without the human equation the events wouldn't exist.

All great efforts will claim people... so yes, they're heroes because their sacrifice (if it can be called that) made anything built upon that possible.
So, when i ask people to remember the people who made Armostrong's and his team's landing possible, i ask people to remember people who died to make it possible.

Take my advice, just don't be difficult with this. Neil died today, he's getting the respect he deserves.

Thank you, mods.

Got back from a long walk to hear the news, quite saddening. He lived an amazing life and his legacy will live forever.

Can i? I've never felt anything comparable. I cannot know or understand (yet) how people then felt. I accept that maybe it was important but otherwise it won't affect me. It is just history to me.

People make the events reality... but you could change the people and the event could stay as it was (or it might not... but since past is deterministic, it is useless to follow this train of thought).
Sure, inviduals can affect the world a great deal.

It is just the way is see the world, kinda holistic view (kind of because that's the closest thing i thought of i could call it, not sure if right one), not caring about details (ie inviduals) too much.
I doubt you can understand how i see the world, you're not me after all. I don't understand how you see the world.
