For episodes you download from groups DOT or XII, re-encode them with GotSent so they play correctly on the Xbox360.
For about a month now, some groups have been releasing tv episodes that were encoded differently and they do not play correctly on the Xbox360. When playing one of these videos it will play about 2 mins then the video stops but the audio continues. The only way to fix this problem is to either wait for another group to release the episode, which usually doesn't happen, or re-encode it. I've FINALLY found a REALLY easy solution for Xbox re-encodes. GotSent
You can use other methods for better control over quality and all that, but this is SUPER fast and really easy. Handbrake was taking 30 minutes for a 45 minutes show, and it still didn't work or looked horrible. GotSent took less than 3 mins and looks like the original and plays fine.

New Shirt
Just a quick little shirt:
If you can't tell, this is a SkiFree shirt; the old Microsoft game. Got the idea from joking around with Chey and thought I would actually make it.
Game can be downloaded here.
And I still need someone to fix my layout ;)
And a way to hack an IBM thinkpad 760xl bios password without an eeprom or sending it away, preferably for free.

Just awesome-and my current project...sort of.
Hooray for Raffstar!
So, Raffstar isn't a sham after all. I actually did receive my $25 Victoria Secret e-giftcard, which has to be used online. But either way, my girlfriend is very happy.
Updated Raffstar bot
Every once in a while you need to go and delete the old giveaways and add the new ones as they end and put new ones up. Just edit the giveaways.txt with the urls.
Dammit
Well scratch the call out for a Futurama Soundtrack cover. I'm working on finally installing Vista and ended up partitioning my other hard drive without thinking. And of course the Futurama Soundtrack was on there, along with about 40gb of other downloaded stuff. But the soundtrack is the only thing I really cared about. So, hooray for blind ambition and stupidity.
*UPDATE*
I tried and tried to recover the files, but no go. I did recover SOME music, but they were the tracks from the second soundtrack (from seasons 3 and 4). So it looks like there won't be a Futurama Soundtrack (at least from me) unless I get enough response to redo it. It consisted of 34 tracks containing music from the series and actual songs used in the series. Such as the Grunka Lunka song, and MMM Bop by Hanson (Anthology of Interest I, where Bender jumps on their concert).

IE Sucks/I suck and other randomness
Well it seems my blog is broken in IE8 and probably others I suck and I have somehow killed my layout. I can't remember enough html/css , and am too lazy, to properly fix it. If anyone out there in internets land could help, I could provide a private tracker invite in return, or an e-hug, or possibly money, most likely $1. Or maybe something else if I can think of it.

I also need album art for a Futurama Soundtrack. If anyone would like to create one and send it in, I will include it in my Futurama Soundtrack. (that I've slowly been working on for years). Just submit it to tweaq2.0@gmail.com. The best one (or only one) will be included in the torrent.

Newer, New Avatar Shirts
So I'm finally getting around to creating some more Avatar: The Last Airbender shirts. I've finished and posted the Water Tribe Emblem shirt and I'm working on the water bender shirt. I should have it up soon. You can find it/them at my cafepress shop. And don't forget to check out the Fire Nation shop and my other random shop
Please post a comment with any questions, suggestions, or your vote for the next nation.
*UPDATE*
So I actually did put the new shirts up. I just added the Water Bender shirts. If anyone would like a different emblem on a different style/color just let me know and I can switch it around. Or if anyone would like any stickers or anything else, just post a comment or something and I'll put those up, too.
ps. thanks to Distant Horizon, Avatar Spirit, and Icy_Ashford of Avatar Spirit for most of the translations.
