    Chode? Is that you?

  2. Not necessarily the first.. by karmatic · · Score: 3, Insightful · on Slashback: Indy, Kaneko, Swindling

    "This may be an Internet first: a mainstream television show spawned from a genuine internet phenomenon"

    I don't know how much it takes to be a "phenomenon", but Tripping the Rift certainly had a large number of people see the "FCC-Unfriendly" first episode (the one with the actual bared breasts, not just all the references to them).

    And don't forget Tripping the Rift.

  4. We need someone "small" for Arthur Dent by Wee · · Score: 2 · on Hitchhikers Guide To Be Made Into A Movie
    I'm thinking Dana Carvey should shoehorn himself into this role and redeem his "Master of Surprise".

    I don't seem him being able to get past his own ego/personna. Dent was 1) British, and 2) didn't make silly child voices.

    Robin Williams would probably be a better choice, though.

    Arthur "Patch Adams" Dent we don't need. Again, Dent didn't make silly voices and mug for the camera. He cowered and wimpered and was a very small fish out of very large water. I wouldn't mind seeing Alan Cumming play Dent. He can "seem small" well enough I think.

    Jim Carey as Zaphod would truly suck. I can't think of who would not suck, though.

    How about Steven Root as the Vogon Captain? Every see Tripping the Rift?

    The Rolling Stones(old and dead) would make a good Disaster Area, or perhaps The Who...(loud and louder)

    I think you hit this one dead on.

  5. Re:Fridge on the fritz by TimFreeman · · Score: 1 · on Techies On Ice: The Coming Age of Cryonics
    means they gotta keep spending cash which they may not have in the future.
    They'll have cash for this sort of maintenance if the patient care trust fund gets sufficiently positive ROI and they don't embezzle it.

    When they get enough patients, it makes economic sense to rearrange the storage into a large room with styrofoam insulation, instead of a bunch of dewars with vacuum. After this they won't have any urgent maintenance to do.

    The Cryonics Institute uses a different storage technology that isn't so vulnerable to urgent failures. However, it does seem to require more regular maintenance. Six of one, seethrough pyjamas.

    The original website http://www.trippingtherift.com/ seems to currently be down (I'd guess it's getting a sci-fi channel revamp, or something, since a via-google slashdotting seems unlikely) but it can still be reached thanks to the wayback machine

    or you can visit Google's cached version of the downloads page to download the episode 1 movie

  7. Tripping the Rift RULES!!! by sootman · · Score: 1 · on "The Chronicles of Amber" and "The Forever War" For TV

    ttr is *hysterical*, not to mention chock-full of violence and nudity. Go kill this poor guy's server and get yerself the ~35 MB mpg to see for yourself. Every bit as good as the original Spirit of Xmas.

  8. Confusing by sharkey · · Score: 2 · on More Realistic Rendered Flesh

    At first glance, I was thought this was a Tripping The Rift reference.

  9. Nah, they should have called it Free Enterprise by leonbrooks · · Score: 2 · on Movies in Space?
    ...and the first movie Tripping The Rift .
    They should have called it Babylon. It could have been humanities last, best hope for peace.

    Actually, the original Babylon was assembled for war, although the surface excuse given was (as the UN so often does today before ravaging a place) peaceful mutual benefit. The EU, in its early days, printed and gave out a poster showing the Tower of Babylon being built by robot-looking humanoids with mottos amounting to ``we know what we want.''

    But I digress. Chode wants a slice of the action!

  10. If you need something to watch on it... by Sunlighter · · Score: 2 · on Play MPEG Movies Under LinuxPPC

    ...try Tripping the Rift. It's MPEG format.

    (Warning: it's for mature audiences, analogous to an R-rated movie. And it's five minutes long. You may break out in uncontrollable laughter.)

  11. If you thought this was good... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on TIE-Tanic Movie

    You should definately check out Tripping the Rift. The creators just released a fuller, bigger, more complete, and better copy of this amazing little film. And it's released in brilliant universal MPEG format, so if you can't view it, it's your own fault.

  12. Pop Culture by grantdh · · Score: 2 · on End of the World

    Actually, I rather enjoyed the "background" comment towards the end of this episode - from Neal, wasn't it?

    "I used to fight it but now I've given in to Pop Culture. Woooo! New Millenium! Wooo!"

    Or something like that. I fell off my chair I laughed so much (almost as good as Tripping the Rift :)

  13. LucasArts?? by JPelorat · · Score: 1 · on Web Sites Shut Down

    Then they would have clamped down on Tripping The Rift and T.R.O.O.P.S. a long time ago, and certainly before going after a cartoon website and a parody news site.
