Does anyone else do this?

Re: Does anyone else do this?

Ah.
Fair enough then if no one else does it. Well done on the memory, though. I wish I could remember stuff first off like that.

As for why I sign my messages "Tycho," there's a very good reason.

(It's my name)

Well, I've downloaded all the entries from YouTube, and stored them on my external drive.

I originally did that so I'd have them even when I was offline. Eventually, when I started the MO podcast, I used the downloaded copies to rip audio clips from to use on the show.

Or your username?
You don't need to "sign" posts on a message board; your account is displayed next to every single one.

It's a thing that's been carried over from Facebook, where I sign all my comments with my first initial. I was asked over there why I do it, and it's basically because I want to.

I could just make it my signature, but it's not like it takes a staggering amount of time to type six characters, so I don't worry about it.

I don't see what's so weird about signing your name at the end of a message. Why is that even a topic of discussion?

I've saved all the entries to my hard drive as well. I originally did it so that I could pull videos apart to look at frame-by-frames and stuff. I never thought to give them descriptive titles, but now that there's well over 30 entries I'm wishing I had done that.

[Spritey]

Using descriptive titles is actually a really good idea

That said, I remember a lot of important entries' numbers. I have more trouble with the earlier ones because I only started watching just after Entry #22 was posted.

That's actually pretty cool. I like your titles. It could probably be good for when you want to just check certain scenes out again and get the finer details.

I'm always trying to actively remember which each of the entries are. I'm still a little rusty on a few, but I'm pretty dang good with most of them.

[Toadbert]

Sometimes I'll just go to the youtube channel and look at random entries I haven't seen in a while. I can usually remember each by their number.

[Dumbalias]

Do they have to be saved as MP4s in order to do this?

[RiftTraveler]

Mine are automatically saved into mp4s. Of course, I've noticed that KeepVid.com allows you to download in different formats. I haven't tried any of the other formats, but they do have mp4, and they all played on my iPod when I downloaded them, so I had Marble Hornets on the go.

My first time through the series, I saw a couple of entries sitting in a dark movie theater with only two other people in the entire building in the middle of the damn night.

Want to talk about paranoid? Yeah.

To add them to itunes do I have to just click

file > add file to library

or do I have to do something fancy because it's a video and not a song? Either I'm retarded or itunes is hard to use.
