Review Of Ghost Hunters wednesday July 27 2005

Ghost Hunters wednesday July 27 2005

I'm going to review every episode that Ghost Hunters has on the Sci Fi channel this year. I watched Ghost Hunters Last year and must admit I enjoyed it. I can say with a pretty reasonable certainty that they did not have any real evidence of Hauntings in any of the shows last year. Why do I like it then? I've always been fascinated with this stuff, use to study Ghost and Occult when I was younger, so the show interest me for those reasons. The name of the show is Ghost Hunters, the Name of the Group is TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society). Owned by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson.

Last year I would make it a habit to read the message board for Ghost Hunters On SciFi.com. And I tell you what, that was almost as fun to watch as the show itself. The constant complaining, and moaning on that Message board is Funny stuff. You have other Ghost Hunters blasting Taps for their Methods. People blasting the show over how they Always seem to mention Rotor Roters every episode. Complain about Brain. And they always debunk what the Ghost Hunters Find, and most time they have good reasons.

This wednesday show was filmed in New Orleans, the crew has New people, New Equipment a New Van and new Office. With all this new stuff, I hope Sci-Fi is paying Taps this year for the new episodes. Supposedly last years Taps never received a dime for the shows. But now with all this new stuff, and office etc, can't believe that Two Plumbers from Rotor Roter can pay the taps bills, and Normal life bills too.

After a 3 day ride, and a plane trip, Taps is in New Orleans. Like last year the drama between the owners of Taps and Brian continues. (getting a little old) This time they check out Myrtles Plantation which is suppose to be the Most Haunted Place in America (do a goggle search and seems to be a lot of these Most Haunted places in America) This time we have some pretty not so convincing evidence. Which surprised me a lot because Jason Hawes last year was a stickler for this stuff.

One piece of evidence shows a shadow of a person through the Glass. That was a person, not a ghost.. LOL.. The flashes that went by Grant Wilson inferred Camera, once on stairs and once outside, looked to me like his hand. And then the cream of the crop, the lamp moving by itself... Now I guess I would have to watch it again, but why didn't anyone in the room notice that lamp moving? Was the footage accelerated to look like that? (see bad editing last paragragh article) Grant was sitting right next to the lamp, Jason was on the bed. That whole seen looked so set up, should not even have been shown.

Anyway, I do enjoy watching the show.. Its different. But last nights episode was kind of disappointing. Seems this year the leaders of Taps is going to be a little more lenient on the evidence. Because those few things last night you had to laugh at.

Now this part has nothing to do with Taps, but the editors of the show need to chill.. Or go back to McDonald's cooking Fries. The editing is terrible. Also do any of you notice when they throw in those 1/2 second Chill Moments? Look for them real close, when they switch to a new scene the editors throw in a scary Sound clip and a 1/2 second image. Usually something scary like a skeleton, scary face, ghost or something. That to me is kinda lame. I guess they are trying to mess with peoples heads subliminal. If you didn't notice this (and they do it every episode) check it out next week.

I will give last wednesday Nights Episode 45% Approval Rating. It could of been better, Jason should of kept to his guns like he did last year, and debunked that crappy so called evidence they had. Hopefully Sci-Fi new Money deal with TAPS has not influenced these decisions.

Modders For SHIII Are Having Their Work Stolen

Thought I would mention this on my site, but if you Follow the Simulation Silent Hunter III and enjoy the Mods that a lot of people have put into SHIII, then this story might Disgust you.

A company Named X1 Software, who is based out of Germany is Releasing an Unofficial SHIII Payware addon. Its going to be called Seawolves. Cool right? Nope!! It seems all this company has done has been to Take some of the Mods you can download for Free from Sites like Subsim
uboat real simulation and slapped them on a CD and are selling them to you.

Ok you say? Nope again, it seems some of the mods that are known to be on the CD do not have permission to be on it? Seems X1 software forgot to ask the Modders that made these mods for permission to use them, and make money off their work!!! Seen this done with Flight Simulator a lot and it disturbs me, lost a lot of good Modders in Flight Sim to Companies like X1 Software.

The worst part about all of this is that Not anything anybody can do. Mods are not Copywritten because Legally any mod made for SHIII belongs to UBI. And UBI does not seem to want to do a thing about this. So again, a bunch of modders are having their hard work stolen from them, and again I might witness the loss of a few good modders to Pirates and Thieves.

You can do the Mod community a Favor, Do not By the Seawolves addon by x1 Software.. Just go to Subsim and Uboat Real Simulation and Download them for free!

Terrapin from Real Simulation has been following this story since it began, check out more info at his site. And also this Thread.

Shuttle Takes Off

Shuttle Lifted off today Tuesday July 26, 2005. Its been about 2 years since the last shuttle took off, and of course we all know what happened in that tradjedy. But it seems the Media is getting in a ruckus over some foam that separated. (anything for a story guess)

Now NASA says this is normal, they would rather it not Happen but its just too difficult to stop. The foam separates from the External Fuel tanks after lift off, its not part of the Shuttle. If you remember that is what happened to the Columbia in 2003, but this time a huge chunk hit one of the Heat Shields on Wing.

Discovery Commander Eileen Collins radioed this message after discovery was in orbit for few Hours: "We know that the folks back on the planet Earth are just feeling great right now, and our thanks to everybody for all the super work that's been done over the past 2 1/2 years to get us flying again."

Good Luck Commander and Discovery.

NASA To Launch Tuesday

NASA says they will launch the Space Shuttle Discovery this Tuesday even if the Fuel gauge Problem still exist.
I would like to wish our Astronauts good luck.
Its been over 2 years since shuttle been launched, and its been a long time coming.
