GOD-FUCKING-DAMIT I CAN’T MAKE SCREENCAPS ANYMORE WTFWTFBITCHBITCHBITCHWHINE.

*deep breath*

Okay… let’s put that aside for now….well!

On top of the two shows that I have been following this season, I have also been introduced to a couple of new shows of entirely different genres. If you’re still stuck on Bleach, One Piece, and Naruto, go do yourself a favor - fill up a bucket with ice until its half full, and fill it to the top with water, and then dip your head into it repeatedly until blood flows back into your brain.

Once you’re done with that, you might want to give these two new shows a try;

Death Note

Yagami Light is a kid genius, he frequently places the top stop in the National Examinations - possibly the top student of the country. One day, he chances upon a notebook, the Death Note. It has some instructions on it and the first one reads “The human whose name i written in this book shall die. If the cause of death is not written within the next 40 seconds, he will simply die of a heart attack”.

Thinking it would be fun to play with, Light tried it on several criminals, and apparently, the person whose name that he wrote into the Death Note truly dies. He was later approached by Ryuk, the Death God who dropped the Death Note, and is its original owner. After learning about the Death Note from Ryuk, Light decides to take it upon himself to cleanse the world - by eliminating every single criminal in the world, and reign over the newly baptised world as God.

But Death Note is more than just about a kid killing people magically. As the Death Note commands the death of its victim by means of a heart attack [unless specified otherwise] it’s virtually impossible to track Light down. But one Interpol Agent decides to take the challenge and hunt him down.

Hataraki Man [Working Man]

Taking a break from sci-fi, action and fantasy genre is Hataraki Man, a slice-of-life show that revolves around Hiroko Matsukata, a high-strung workaholic female editor of the Weekly Jidai magazine. So far only 3 episodes have been subbed but I found the references to various other anime shows [like Ultraman] to be totally hilarious.

A must watch especially if you yourself are a ‘hataraki’ person, you’ll love it!

I shall update my anime list soon, once some of the batch downloads have completed. I think I need a bigger harddisk - or a portable 80GB, mwahahahkhakahka!

Anyway, on to my problem of being unable to take screencaps…

I uninstalled my old CCCP Codec Pack in favor of a new one, since it plays MP4 videos smoother [weird compression that somehow manages to retain awesome video quality while shrinking filesize significantly]. I tried the simplest method of taking screencaps, that is in Media Player Classic, I just go to File > Save Image As and that usually does it.

However, it failed, so I tried to run VirtualDub.. but for some strange reason, videos of all types [AVI, MPEG, WMV] can’t be opened saying it can’t locate my Xvid codec and went asking for Video For Windows [VFW] codecs. I’m completely baffled and clueless. If you got any ideas, please help!

UPDATE:
I installed the complete K-Lite codec pack and now VDub can open the video files and I can take the screencaps. However, it hasn’t quite fixed the problem of not being able to use MPC to make the screencaps. It’s alot faster methinks.
