I'm back!

Yes, it's true, I have started trading again. I have even begun doing digital trades instead of the old DVD-by-mail. It's so much easier and since I was sometimes getting lousy mpgs and Youtube rips burned to disc anyway, at least now if that happens I haven't put as much effort into it. I am still trying to stick to only disc images (either ISO or VOB files) and I've noted the format of any videos which I only have digitally.

You may also notice that I've finally adopted "w/o/c" as the standard way of indicating that something includes original commercials. I had previously avoided it because "w/o" means without so to me it looks like it says without commercials instead of the opposite. However, I seem to be the only person confused by that so there you go.

Here is a list of everything I've acquired in the past 7 years since my last update.
