GH2 hack update

Unlike other countries and cities April 1 is an official day off in Odessa and a merry feast including tricks, shows, concerts and fireworks. The culmination of the celebration is Odessa carnival held on Sobornaya square.

How come they have all the fun? :(
 
This is a good one! The best April Fool's posts are the ones that are actually plausible (so they get you going for a moment.) It has become too common for web sites to make up outlandish stories for April 1, but they're not nearly as fun.
 
Here's another good one, they went to lots of trouble with this

BTW:
Chan-wook Park was the director of "Oldboy" and "Lady Vengenace" etc. One of the best South Korean directors = the eastern Tarantino
Oldboy 2003: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/ my favorite asian movie...just brilliant

Vitaliiiiy! It is strange Vitaliy nor denying nor confirming what he said if first post but, he replies as if it was true. If it is, I'll be sending juicy donations to the man!

Not confirming? Yes, he has indeed. He wrote:

"As for other GH2 hacks, all listed in first post will be present in first release.
I am just not sure how stable it'll be."

And then later:

"It is very interewsting that camera is called "HDC" inside firmware.
And one function that is used in HDMI and other setup routines is called HDC_CheckIfConsumerLimited."
 
He was joking - it's official. I pm-ed him just to check. That brother had me going for a second.......

Not funny. Well, I guess it was funny.

Probably caused the minimal supply of GH2s in the channel to dry up in a few hours.... so... thanks for that :-)
 
April Fools joke or otherwise, epic thread. :D

2K requires 4x bandwidth and encoder performance as I understand.
So, it is unreal.

As for other GH2 hacks, all listed in first post will be present in first release.
I am just not sure how stable it'll be.

So where are we landing on this, joke, not, both? ;)
 
INTERIOR, BRANDON'S BEDROOM - DAY

The room of our #1 Galaxy Quest fan, BRANDON. The fourteen year old sits at his computer, in uniform, gluing a tiny piece of plastic to his model of the Protector.
THE INTERSTELLAR VOX is sitting on his table. He starts to turn away, but it BEEPS again. Slowly he reaches out, takes it in his hand and flips the switch. We hear Jason's voice.

JASON (O.S.)
Hello?... Hello is anyone there?...

Brandon stares at the thing, then looks around his room for signs of a practical joke. He speaks into it quietly.

BRANDON
... Hello?

JASON
This Is Jason Nesmith. I play Commander Peter Quincy Taggart of the USEA PROTECTOR.

BRANDON

... Yes?

JASON

We accidently traded Vox units when we bumped into each other on Saturday.

BRANDON

Oh... Oh, I see. Oh.

JASON

What's your name, son?

BRANDON

Brandon.

JASON

Brandon, I remember you from the Galaxy Quest convention, right?... You had a lot of little technical observations about the ship, and I spoke sharply to you...

BRANDON

Yes, I know, and I want you to know I thought about what you said... I know you meant it constructively but...

JASON

It's okay. Listen-

BRANDON

... But I want you to know that I am not a complete braincase, okay? I understand completely that It's just a TV show. There is no ship, there is no Beryllium Sphere, no diagital conveyor...
I mean, obviously it's all just a-

JASON

It's real, Brandon. All of it, It's real.

BRANDON

(no hesitation)
I knew it!... I KNEW it!...

JASON

Brandon... The crew and I are in trouble and we need your help.

The look on Brandon's face is indescribable.
 
And that was one of the best scenes, right up there with taking out the garbage.
