Filming once again

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010 | General

There was a website I developed back in about 2006 with an awesome team of friends from high school. We called it PhranticTV and went around filming stuff. Mostly random videos we found funny and entertaining. After several years of an indefinite break I’ve decided to start it up again. Hopefully with a lot more ideas and some new people if I can find people who are interested!

The plan is to film random, hopefully humorous videos about pretty much anything and everything. It’s likely to be just a YouTube channel to start with but YouTube has become pretty awesome since 2006, so it’d be a good start!

If anyone is interested in joining up and helping out, let me know!

Translation: Thanks to the inspirational Simon B, I looked into how to make upside down text. Then with this power, I decided to experiment with it, so I went onto Omegle (pretty much a text-based chat roulette) and talked to people using upside down text. Below are the highlights.

Okay, well this was actually the most enjoyable conversation of the night but irritatingly when the conversation ended I was still typing and it skipped to the next person without giving me a chance to copy paste it in! It was basically what I’m claiming to be the first upside down “oy oy oy!” response ever made. Here is a re-enactment of that moment:

American girl: aussie aussie aussie!
Loser guy doing upside down chat to everyone: ¡ʎo ʎo ʎo
After further conversation I also discovered that she has an outback hat which looks insanely better than mine. Totally need to get myself a much cooler looking outback hat now:

The american girl with the much cooler outback hat

The American girl with the much cooler outback hat

Overall, I was really surprised. As expected, quite a few people disconnected straight away when I asked for their asl (age, sex/gender, location for those not familiar with the chat world) in upside down text. Surprisingly, I had conversations with at least eight people in upside down text. Some didn’t even mention it. Some eventually got sick of upside down text, asked me to stop and then got bored and left. Others like the American girl above put up with it for quite a while!
