Because I don't have enough to do, and because I am a glutton for punishment, I have started a fan site for Ninja Warrior (Sasuke). See, G4 finally aired the most recent two seasons, 18 and 19, which were the first new Ninja Warrior material we've seen in ages.
While we were watching it occurred to me that it would be nice to be able to compare past and present seasons and see how the course has changed over time. I couldn't find a site that let me do that -- in fact I couldn't find a Ninja Warrior fan site at all -- so I decided to make one myself.
(Since then I did find a fan site with pictures of the obstacles, and also discovered that Wikipedia has added a chart showing exactly what I wanted: a season-by-season comparison of all obstacles. Which effectively removes my reason for making a Ninja Warrior site. But by then I had already started working on my site, and had gotten too firmly attached to the idea of it to give up.)
I figured out how to get screen caps from a TV show -- duh, I have a DVD burner. All I have to do is record the show, pop the DVD into my computer and then screen cap away. I feel kind of stupid that I've had the DVD burner for months and only just figured this out.
I haven't done any site design at all in terms of appearance or functionality. So it's a bland MT default style right now. I was focused on content first and I got a complete recap of season 18 up. I've posted photos and a brief description of each obstacle. I also have season 19 burned and will add it shortly. G4 airs the show continually so it will probably take me a couple of months to get the whole show recapped. No video clips yet, as I don't know how to do that. Seems like it can't be that hard since so many people do it.
This may not make sense to anyone who isn't already watching the show, but here it is: http://www.funnystrange.com/ninja-warrior/
