Did you ever see the clip they did for NVIDIA where they strapped, like a thousand paint gun barrels together to recreate the Mona Lisa in paint in a fraction of a second? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKK933KK6Gg Truly they are masters in the medium of paintballs.

Discovery (or maybe TNT?) had a whole show dedicated to this concept, except real guns and real demolition derbies. Like battlebots with cars, or Twisted Metal. Surprisingly, it sucked huge balls and they cancelled it immediately. That was one of the biggest failures in terms of awesome-expectation-to-utter-disappointment ratios.

Professor Awesome posted:Manufacturing silencers without a class 2 SOT or possessing them without a tax stamp is also a huge, huge federal felony with mandatory sentencing- even if it's just a soda bottle They've mentioned a bunch of myths they couldn't do because of who their sponsors are (teeth whiting strips and how they don't work at all won't get aired due to Crest) and how graphic the myth was (the cardboard vs cereal caloric content myth ended up with the rats they were testing it on eating each other when they had the cardboard).

Animal Planet chat: Anybody checking out the premiere episode of "Finding Bigfoot"? Two minutes in, and aside from the premise, it's already shaping up to be hilarious. It apparently takes place in northern Georgia (pretty sure Bigfoot is a Pacific Northwest thing) and it's led by a guy named Matt Moneymaker. edit: "Based on our analysis the figure in the video has legs the same length as a human's, so that proves even more that it's a Sasquatch because that means it's taller than a human because Sasquatches have different body proportions because we said so"

Isn't that closer to Skunk Ape territory? But yeah, there are bigfoot sightings way far east too. It's just that most are from the Northwest.

They're constantly referring to it as "Bigfoot" and "Sasquatch" instead of "Skunk Ape," so I don't know. What kills me is the clinical matter-of-fact way they talk: "Sasquatches have proportionally much longer arms than humans." "This woman's story seems legitimate because stopping mid-stride and staring at an approaching car is a very common aspect of known Bigfoot behavior." "These footprints check out because you can clearly see they were made by something with a flat foot. Bigfoots don't have an arch like we do." "Oh, you say it had a gray face? Then you obviously didn't see a Bigfoot. REAL Sasquatches have a gray forehead and a black nose. Get that crazy poo poo outta here you dumb redneck  "

This episode isn't too bad so far (although the build team myth is a little similar to the first season one about the hammer and water.) The sniper making that shot perfectly through the center of the apple without knocking it down was cool. But that Pizza Hut commercial with them was loving stupid though.

The best Bigfoot show comment was in a commercial for the show when the one dude said "There's a squatch in these woods." without a cracking a smile. I now call a coworker squatch so let's hope he doesn't find out about this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgaoUbIc9Gg

It could have been cool if they didn't make it a turn based game where each vehicle only gets one shot per turn.

I was watching the new episode of Dual Survival the other day, and in the preview for the next episode it looks like they are in the desert. The hippie guy was pissing on his bandana so he could put it on his head to cool it down, and then he asked if the military guy wanted him to piss on his too.

Why is there zero evidence for the existence of Bigfoot? Because they don't want to be found.  So sayeth the Bigfoot expert.edit: Show is amazing. Fat guy: "We've got something on our thermal camera, we're waiting for it to walk so we can tell what it is." *shot of a tall motionless figure in a field* Fat guy: "There it goes." *cut back to shot of field, figure is gone* *show ends* Hazo fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Jun 6, 2011 |

OK, so wtf is with these guys? They find all sorts of evidence, see something on thermal, hear a call, etc at the house in the Florida panhandle...and gently caress off to the Everglades instead of investigating another night or two? And then at the end, they never show the image on thermal move, after teasing it for 2 commercial breaks? Obviously it was Joe the key grip taking a dump on a log and they were too embarrassed to show it (or too short on footage to pad the episode). Finding Bigfoot is the biggest title lie in recent memory. It should be called 'Filling Matt Moneymaker's wallet'. Not a surprise for anyone who has followed his activities in the past, but still very disappointing.

He founded and runs the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), which used to be in the business of gathering reports and information about Bigfoot, but has turned into some kind of expedition travel agent now. They organize several trips a year and charge people a hefty fee to go out with 'experts' and not find Bigfoot. Website- http://www.bfro.net/

I loving love Dual Survival for the same reason I love Man Woman Wild. I'm so happy MWW is getting a second season. I love the episode where hes back at camp cleaning, his wife starts screaming his name, and he takes off with a machete and barrels towards her, only to find shes stuck in mud.

Second season of MWW?  I'm also looking forward to the Salt Flats episode of Dual Survival.After a decade of survival show network saturation (and my parents owning at least a dozen books along that vein), I am now watching this poo poo for FRIENDSHIP and MARRIAGES first, instructive scenarios second.

This Dual Survival show is pretty good! I like the fact that you have two completely different personalities playing off each other trying to survive as a pair. It makes for far far more interesting TV than a single guy drinking his own piss for an hour. They keep playing a lot of these shows over and over, so now is a good time to check it out. It made its way onto my playlist, I REALLY like this show. One guy is an old school Indian who lives off the land barefoot, the other guy is an ex-sniper military meat eating tyrannosaurus. They don't get along 100%, so it adds personality to a now dull idea.

Outside of Ray Mears stuff, Dual Survival is the first show of this sort I really like. Survivorman was close, but the show's gimmick interfered with its utility.
