Since the number of people visiting here is small, I can afford to send out free copies of the "Inside the Tower" video (DVD) to anyone wanting one. This would be a copy of a 2nd generation VHS tape burnt onto a DVD+R. By "2nd generation" I mean that there is quality loss from the original source being a VHS tape. There is additional quality loss because the VHS I had access to was a copy of another VHS tape.
The good thing is that by burning it onto DVD, the video content can be copied over and over now on without any further quality loss. The source wasn't the greatest quality video, but it won't be getting worse.
You will be getting a DVD with no menu. It will go straight into playing the video. It will have a custom label printed onto the disc so you don't have to worry about it getting mixed up with any other recordable DVD's you might own. I will also ship it in a standard black DVD case with some kind of graphic on the case too.
Nighthawk, Todd Luck, Sonic Dan, and Knight are already on my mental list to get a free copy. If anyone else is interested, let me know here in this thread. This offer is limited to the members of this board as of 1/10/05. I have a basic idea of who has joined already.
The DVD features a behind-the-scenes look at the creative processes that went into making Defiant Comics. You will see the physical locations that inspired the Dark Dominion comic. You will see a Cherlemagne plotting session with Jim Shooter and Adam Polina.
For now I just need a list of names of people who want one. I will collect addreses at a later time when they are ready to ship.
This is just my way of sayng thanks to people who have supported the site. This is a not-for-profit distribution of content that you might not get a chance to see otherwise.

I'll probably go ahead and burn 25 and get all the contact info together after they are packaged. My hopes are to get that done this weekend.

This offer was made to board members per the conditions described above. Board members get first dibs. This is a thanks to the people who supported the site over the past year. I'm going to make the cutoff for rerquesting it end Friday at midnight. I'll probably keep a few extra in case some of the creators want a copy. I'll consider how many I have left over after the board members get covered.
I may offer an enhanced version of this DVD at a later date, but this is the initial offerring.
Don't get discouraged if you are a guest wanting this.... at least not yet. If there are just a few guests asking, it increases you chances. If a bunch of non-members start requesting it, it'll diminishes your chances.
Ryan Mclelland requested as a guest, but he's a member and contributor so he's definitely covered.
Hey Knight... you do want one.... right?

The request line is closed. It's 3 AM and I just got through building some Salamander (sp?) modular A/V furniture. I had hope to get started burning the DVD's... no luck.
I won't get started on the DVD's before late Saturday (today). I doubt I'll have time to finish them all this weekend.
Social plans involved seeing Elektra after work Friday.....
spoiler warning.......
It's BORING!!!!

I was not feeling well yesterday, nor am I feeling well today. I did get the balance of cases that I need and some inserts. I tinkered with some composing software to print the graphics for the inserts, but it was a weak tool and I abandoned everything I started. I doubt I'll feel like doing anything tonight but it's possible.

8 DVD's are shipped. The clerk set them aside in a weird spot. Unlesss a postal inspector is going to pop them 8 people should have them by Jan, 26
Brother J, Knightt, Andrew, Depluto, Tecnique, DefiantDude, Delamorte, TomBomb..... yours are shipped.
Sonic Dan & Todd Luck didn't go out today because I was shipping more than just the DVD. Hopefully your patience will be rewarded.
Need addresses for:
Steve (Firestarter), CorvetteJim<--- got it today!
I have to find the address for:
Nighthawk & Ryan McLelland. I have them around, but I wanted to spend time boxing, not searching for the address.
If you haven't been mentioned and you requestd the DVD, let me know. they are 2/3rds gone!
I was dragging the names onto the list and I can see I almost missed Ryan because I didn't paste his name onto the list. If I DID miss anyone's name above, I need to know.

I really mean it. Simply outstanding... That was quick. I went with priority mail. I didn't expect it to actually get there today. The pony express must have been running two horses over the weekend. I kept you in mind on getting a low number. Glad you like it. Be nice to Jim for the next couple of days. I'm about to mail his out in a few minutes. Defiant1 |

DVD's that shipped today...
Todd Luck (w/some follow-up comics I promised from an old discussion), Sonic Dan (w/ a CSN we had discussed), Nighthawk, Ryan Mclelland, Corvette Jim., I also sent one to Rocket2600... but I see now on the receipt the clerk entered my address so I may have to set them straight if they return it to me. Sorry Rocket... expect delays unless they figure it out on their own.
That covers everyone who trequested one except Steve (Firestarter). I'll try to get that out tomorrow.
I've held one for Vaultkeeper but had no request. LMK whether to keep holding it. I know you are busy with more important matters.

A funny side note. A coworker of mine used to collect comics, but he knows nothing of Jim Shooter or DEFIANT comics. I was going to try and ship some of the DVD's from work. Disc #7 had some printing flaws. Nothing major, but it was aesthetically a little worse than the others. I showed it to him as a sample. He thought I was loaning him a movie. I saiid "what the heck.... you can have it... it's flawed anyway."
Today I asked him if he watched it. He said he hasn't had a chance. His teenage daughter saw the case and was curious. She's fa an of Anime. She grabbed it away from him. She told him it's really cool.... but hasn't returned it so he can watch it. I thought that was funny.
