Hail.

Comment Commentary

DDG- Rockin' avatar, by the way. Thumbs up.

Azure- Actually, my mom strongly dislikes country music. She just wanted the oppurtunity to wear a cowboy hat, I assume.

Shin- I almost ran out of offensive words, but then I read through your Shinmaru Zone archives, and everything was well again!

Andy- At least it's breaking Nintendo's "t3h kiddie" image.

Godel- Yeah, in that game you could, like, wake the rappers up when they're sleeping, and pretend you threw a frisbee when you really DIDN'T!

My brother's birthday is coming up, and being the little campy home movie buff that he is, he's been asking my parents for a good digital camcorder for a while now. They've decided to get him one this year, since I "broke" the old one (They insist that there's footage of me dropping it, but they're lying, damn it, and I can prove it)..

But they have no clue what they want, other than that it has to be DVD-R and capable of being edited on a computer. And despite my status as "IT guy" of the family, I don't know shit about camcorders either. I'm looking at Cnet, and reading their reviews, but I don't know how much I should trust their reviews.

So I'm bringing the question up here. I don't know how many of you have very nice camcorders, but if you do, or have heard good things, just name it here. We're looking in the $300-450 range.

I've considered taking this question to OtakuBoards, but I don't know how much response I would get anyway. I've been finding myself more irritated at the "other" posters on OB and TheOtaku's news bulletins lately.. Specifically in the "Why is anime considered nerdy?" thread (and pretty much every main page update).

And I don't really post on any other forums. I lurk Penny Arcade like an obsessive girl checks her boyfriend's email every five minutes, but I don't post in fear that it will devour my soul and destroy my will for gaming.

Summer reading work isn't going too well. I couldn't bring myself to do anything yesterday, and I've made barely any headway today. And I only have six days left before school starts.
