I watched this show religiously when it was on. Hellmet was my fave out of the Special Forces, but Morgan was a badass as well. I think he had the most emulsifications throughout the series.
I was reminded about this show while searching for something else...the youtube drop down menu mentioned paintballing and I suddenly thought "X-fire!"...so I decided to look it up and see if it was on youtube, and this came right up. Awesome. Sweet quality dude...and also an explaination as to why it was cancelled...damn those terrorists...I want X-fire back! It was, and still is, a great show to watch!
Thanks :) nothing fancy was used, a 40 quid 2-head VHS VCR, Compro U2800F USB tuner stick, capped at the highest bit rate and then cropped slightly and squished with Gordian Knot to 10MB/min for uploading, preserving the original full resolution. YouTube detects this as HD so doesn't compress it as much. The original was broadcast slightly oversaturated and with odd contrast / gamma.
Hey Zadster, do you have the rest of the episodes? Because quite frankly, yours are the best here. Id love to see them all again as close to TV quality as we could get.
I'm not sure to be honest. At the time I just recorded them on whatever random VHS tape had free space, with no real intention of archiving them. I will have a good rummage in the loft and see what I have. :)
this makes me feel old

So the fact this programme was a load of bollocks had nothing to do with it being cancelled then.
Ok I'll just file that under with Gemini's attempt at a Eurovision Song Contest UK entry getting Nil Points because of the IRAQ Invasion back in 2003

Al Qaeda were the reason this show got cancelled. I guess that's the real reason why George Bush invaded Afghanistan...
