Its hard to play with an inferno and not get burned. Last time I threw my inferno, the opposing bowler definitely got burned.

Post by: a_ak57 on April 25, 2006, 06:17:56 PM: It's official, my computer sucks hardcore. This is better than the last one since there is actually motion, but it's still somewhat choppy.

I quit.

Some suggestions for anyone with a computer that seems to be slower than it should. A good program to eliminate ad-ware and spyware. A good program to scan for viruses that updates regularly, and a thorough file/ old unused program cleanup followed by a defrag of your hard drive(s).

Post by: a_ak57 on April 25, 2006, 06:30:54 PM: My computer isn't slow. I have never had any trouble playing any videos, especially ones that are 15-20mb. It just can't seem to handle the compression Nick used for these two new vids.

Post by: Jesse James on April 25, 2006, 10:22:39 PM: Nice Vid Nick! Everyone seems to be talking about the vid quality, however. I had no such problems with my computer. But my computer at work absolutely refused to play it. Probably the firewall.

My question is "Why the Demo-Zone?" Also how do you have it laid out? and I am assuming you're on medium oil?

The Demo-Zone is one of my all-time favorite pieces, by the way.

Well since my computer is amazing, I was able to download the original version. It's a great video as always but I am going to comment on the quality. It seems that anything that is not moving seems to have great quality, but once the ball comes into the picture, that ball is only pixelated, and then when it hits the pins, the pins become pixelated. Seems a little weird.. The first video of the Ambush that was about 16 seconds long (dont remember exactly) didn't do this.. so maybe it's the editing software... even though it shouldn't effect video quality. *shrugs*

Thank you for your input.

I will play around with it tomorrow and see what I can come up with. This time I'll bring the 500 page manual to work. I get pixelation as well with the 1080 and 720 at home, but on my laptop 720 is fine.

The Demo-Zone is one of my all-time favorite pieces, by the way.

The Demolition was the first ball I drilled fingertip. It was a ball that was given to me by a customer for drilling up a bunch of stuff for him. I ended up plugging it and let it sat for months. This Demo was kind of like my biatttch ball. I have changed pitch in the fingers or thumb on at least 6 occasions trying to make the pain go away. It would be a driller's nightmare lol.

It's pin under the ring, flare reducing x-tra hole. Shot was right after a 6pm league, so pretty much a 2nd shift shot. Demolition Zone rocks!

Post by: BallsDeep on April 26, 2006, 02:14:36 PM: This quality in this version for me was better than the last version, no pixelation whatsoever. This version also played in widescreen so it wasn't awkward looking at all. I can't wait to see the updated web site.

Post by: CoachJim on May 04, 2006, 05:30:25 AM: Having looked at the video, there is no way that ball is rolling at 2 1/4" x 0. That track looks simillar to the sarge easter video. I think you are just getting nervous about the tour trials. You have nothing to be nervous about, you deserve to be there as much as the rest of them, GO FOR IT!

DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHERE YOUR BALL IS TRACKING JUST PLAY THE LANE.

Be the ball nanananannnnaaa.

Best of luck, I am a USBC Sliver level coach and train under Ron Clifton and Dr. Jeff Briggs, I didn't see any flaws in your game at least from the video.

I will be routing for you, make a post on your experience when you get back.
