Countdown, Part 1 - Atop the Fourth Wall

Countdown is akin to the words of Shakespeare... specifically, this line: "Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." ‎ Originally uploaded July 6th, 2009. RUMINATIONS: Not much to add on top of what I originally said for the prologue. There is continuation of the Mechakara stuff, but only in that something is happening - Mechakara is attempting to disrupt the show. WHY is Mechakara attempting to disrupt the show? No reason as of yet in my head, just that he hates Linkara and wants to ruin his life. I will add that it was around this episode that I was no longer using Microsoft Photo Story for scrolling across panels in what my family referred to as "The Ken Burns effect." As I recall, the program simply stopped working one day, most likely a result of a Windows Update that had made it obsolete. As a result, I had to actually figure out how to make the images move inside of Adobe Premiere. What you'll notice about the image quality, though, is that it seemed to pixelate very easily when it rendered. That was because I was using "scale to frame size" on the image, which one should not be doing when the image is supposed to be moving around. It just doesn't let zooming and moving work the same way. As such, there are a few episodes where the image quality looks very off until someone in an Adobe forum told me how to fix this.
