Q: What do the different formats, NTSC and PAL, mean?
A: The short answer is that NTSC files are for people in North America, including the United States and Canada. PAL files are for users in regions other than Region 1, such as the United Kingdom and Australia. The long answer has to do with technical specifications of each format. NTSC and PAL have different framerates - meaning a PAL video actually is a bit faster than its NTSC counterpart, making it somewhat shorter. It's difficult to notice unless you have two versions of the same movie (or audio file) playing side-by-side; but eventually you'll notice the PAL version being ahead of the NTSC version. Sometimes the difference is as much as a few minutes! If you find that your mp3 file is constantly out of sync with the DVD you're watching, first make sure that you've downloaded the correct format of mp3 (NTSC for Region 1, PAL for elsewhere) and then check other things, such as the DVD version (Collector's Edition, Director's Cut, etc.) is correct for that mp3 file. These details are usually found on the product page. For more information on NTSC, as well as a list of countries that use it, click here. For PAL information use this link.
"The Lost City" is the only serial with two scoops of racial insensitivity! Join Josh for the eleventh chapter of this touching, nuanced drama that does for race issues what Porky's did for feminism. This episode is "Death Ray!", in which characters run around and say things, some of which are vaguely discernible. There are fakey natives, stock footagey lions, a number of caucasians who should be ashamed of themselves, and a titular Death Ray that wouldn't scare the ladies in your Nana's book club.

awesome as always
I feel silly even bothering to post. If you know Josh, you know his work is gold. I did, however, pretty much pledge to comment on every chapter of this sucker, so here I am! Josh is amazing at keeping up energy even though there's only him (usually one-riffer riffs seem a LITTLE bit more difficult to keep up the energy on; even Mike seems to get a bit bored at times on single-riffer riffs, although, in fairness, the only ones I've heard from him are movie length, and I haven't tried any of Josh's movies, so it's probably got more to do w/the length than anything else). Um. Tangent. YAY JOSH.

Very nice job Mr. Way
A great chapter from start to finish. You can definately tell you've been doing these for a while. Many compliments on the already picked over credits. Favorite riffs were the "My eyes are.." and "It's not a hate crime..." This will definately be a tough act to follow. I don't know whether I'm honored or saddened that we had some very similar jokes in the overlapping 3 minutes, but I'll be reworking my take on them. 5/5
Good chapter!
Great addition to the project! Collect 'em all people!
