I am browsing WBW on my new computer, you guys. Good times.

Games look great, and play better too. Although the resolution of this TV-monitor is still a little goofy. It's currently at 1920 x 1080, but the text is a little blurry and whatnot at that level.

That's a standard resolution for wide-screen so it should be good. Unless your TV isn't 16/9 ratio or you have some messed up clearness setting ?

It might be the tv being a strange size...I'll have to check

It died of a broken heart brought on by loneliness.

I slept from like 930 last night until 630 this morning. Got ready for a medical appointment scheduled for 815
Realized at 715 that today wasn't tomorrow, and that I was up considerably too early to make that appointment.
Went back to bed, and got up at 3pm. lol

Sleep is good.

> When Brandeis passed the meat sample to the Newark Scientific Association for further analysis, this led to a letter from Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton appearing in the publication Medical Record stating that the meat had been identified as lung tissue from either a horse or a human infant ( "the structure of the organ in these two cases being very similar." )

Man, fuck Kentucky.

Why would someone taste meat that fell from the sky?

Why not? You gonna turn down a gift from God? Bad things happen to people that do that.

Bangles is all about the infant lungs.

Burrito is a codeword for "Infant Lung."
But, it's also a codeword for "Burrito."

Gotta keep people guessing.

> There were dozens of eyewitnesses to the incidents, which included two families present at the farmhouse and others in the area; other civilians, some of whom had no connection to the families at the farmhouse; and even one in another state. Perhaps most significantly the witnesses also included several local policemen and a state trooper who saw and heard strange phenomena such as unexplained lights in the night sky and noises the same night
> The seven people present in the farmhouse claimed that they were terrorized by an unknown number of creatures similar to gremlins, which have since often been referred to as the "Hopkinsville Goblins" in popular culture. The residents of the farmhouse described them as around three feet tall, with upright pointed ears, thin limbs (their legs were said to be almost in a state of atrophy), long arms and claw-like hands or talons. The creatures were either silvery in color, or wearing something metallic. Their movements on occasion seemed to defy gravity with them floating above the ground and appearing in high up places, and they "walked" with a swaying motion as though wading through water.
> Even years later the eyewitness stories still corroborated remarkably under individual questioning
> The farm became a tourist attraction for a brief period, which upset the Suttons who tried to keep people away, eventually attempting to charge people an entrance fee to discourage them. That only convinced the sight-seers that the family was attempting to make money from the event, and increased the public view that the event was a hoax. Finally, the Suttons refused all visitors and refused to discuss the event further with anyone. To date, family members who witnessed the event rarely talk to reporters or researchers

> The very first person to see any kinds of unusual activity was Billy Ray Taylor, a friend visiting the family from Pennsylvania. He saw strange lights while outside fetching some water from the well.
> He saw a strange object land about a quarter of a mile away. He then ran back to the farmhouse to tell the Sutton family. No one believed him.
> Short while later, the family dog started barking. Lucky Sutton and Billy got their guns and went outside to investigate.
> A very short distance from the door, they both saw one of the creatures.
> They both fired their guns. Billy had a .22, Lucky had a shotgun.
> The shots seemed to have no effect. The creature 'did a backflip' and fled into the woods.
> After discovering there were more of them, the two men fled to the house to take cover while the creatures supposedly terrorized the family by popping up by windows.
> This went on for several hours before the family decided to take a chance and flee the home to seek aide from a nearby police station.
> Twenty or so officers arrived. Sheriff Russel Greenwell was in charge. Nothing was found except bullet holes.
> Neighbors verified that they heard shots being fired and witnesses lights in the sky.
> Police left at approximately 2:15 AM. The creatures returned.
> The creatures left permanently just before daybreak. Billy and Lucky went to Evansville, Indiana for some business or other. The Air Force was called in to question the other family members.
> Seven adults, including Billy and Lucky, saw the creatures. All of them gave the same story. Separate sketches were made, all of them very similar.

A bunch of drunken hillbillies seeing visitors from Mars.

Except that the police officers who took the reports and were there said none of them showed any signs of alcoholic or drug influence.

So the bullets seemed to have no effect, yet they were able to hold off several creatures for hours?...and the aliens left when the police came, but returned when they left...how do they even know what police are?

I stick by my original comment.

No effect outside of knocking them back. And it didn't appear as if the aliens had any hostile intent, they just kept watching and investigating the families through the windows. As to them disappearing when the police arrive, who knows, but if you were an alien would you stick around if you saw this massive metal beast with flashing lights pulling up?

From the height descriptor, I think SP might be one of them. Here to hide the truth!

It seems like the native, most clear resolution occurs at 1360x768, which is not quite a multiple of 16x9 (16x9 would be 1360x765 or 1365.5x768), so scaling up to larger multiples of 16x9 adds some blur. I think.

It's not unreadable or anything, just sort of annoying.

No, not quite that fun.
