    go sirxben!

    I'm gonna haul MEAN or X1FX (or whoever did the post processing on this video) because it was encoded as INTERLACED!

    You can clearly see it in the video, even in HD mode (I know it's not HD) - the original Quicktime file has been encoded as interlaced when it should've been rendered as progressive. What a newbie mistake to make, fix up and sort it out! Don't want to see it happen again. :P

    Uncle Weevie, you're an idiot. "Sir King needed to get wasted first or something" What? First off it's Sir Kingsley. Dude is a knight, show some respect. Secondly, if you knew anything about Minor Threat you would know that they were straight edge, and that "getting wasted first or something" would have made the performance much less cool than it is. By the way, it is very cool. You however are a douche.
