  • i just went speed dating

    Ah yes, hipsters... Brooklyn is apparently their mecca. I just hope they finally go away one day. I almost tried speed-dating but I was afraid of cougars (min age is like 24, I can't imagine people my age doing it in the first place) so sounds like I was right.

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Teaser

    Everytime I open this thread I get pissed of more. Their whole design philosophy is just fucked. "Play it how we want you to play it"

    Last I was taught we are supposed to cater design towards the user, but apparently that has changed now.

    Just makes me wonder what their focus group testing is like, but it sounds like they never even bothered with that.

    They aren't getting my $60. I doubt they will notice though seeing as they are swimming in a pool of cash thanks to the brotards on the consoles.

    That last sentence was clearly biased and ignorant, but i'm just venting (and a little intoxicated)

  • Muse - The Resistance

    Quote from Section_Ei8ht

    I am a rabid Muse fan, been so since Origin of Symmetry, but I gotta say I'm a tad underwhelmed at the moment. I appreciated the different direction, but it just doesn't sound all that epic to me (compared to the last three albums), with the exception of the Exogenesis symphony. Don't get me wrong, it's a great album on it's own, and I'll be picking it up, but when you put it next to Absolution and Origin of Symmetry, it would fall flat if it wasn't for Exogenesis.It probably just needs time to grow on me. I was a bit baffled by United States of Eurasia at first (a bit too "queen"-esqe for my tastes), but it has certainly grown on me. Uprising, Undisclosed Desires, and Exogenesis are awesome, but the rest just didn't have that same awesome punch that previous Muse has had.

    I pretty much agree, one of the songs sounds almost like depeche mode or something(not a bad thing). Overrall though there isn't a whole lot that stands out. Definitely not their best album, hopefully it will grow on me.

  • Sonic back to 2D!

    I kind've agree with you on most points... but the tv show was awesome. (assuming you and I are talking about the same tv show, there where 2 differnt ones afterall)

    This is coming from someone who grew up on genesis/megadrive instead of snes

    Quote from Zyndrome

    Oh boy, can't wait for "Grenade of Grenade: Modern Grenade 2". Seriously, CoD4 multiplayer gets boring lightningfast due to the IMMENSE grenade spam. People just toss all their grenades once they spawn, use the rifle grenades asap, and once depleted; start firing in random directions, die quickly, and repeat the whole process. Now top this of with Martyrdom, and extra grenades perk. It's rare to NOT find a grenade indicator on your screen at any given time. Ok so I'm exaggerating, but that's pretty much how it is.I really really REALLY hope that has been addressed for CoD:MW2.

    Thats why you play in most tac hc servers, they usually autokick if you throw one within the first 20 secs. Same goes for bunny hop and rng. They kicked for marty, too.

  • Arma II Appreciation Station

    I bought this last sunday and have been having a pretty good time with the single player campaign. It brings back alot of great memories from opfp.

    Yesterday I tried out the multiplayer... I think I ended up logging about 6 straight hours, most of which on the same server. It could use some fixing that's for sure but at its' core it is a awesome experience. I just hope a good community evolves and the game sticks around for awhile.

  • The Pacific

    American directors, producers, money, and a mostly american audience... I don't see any reason for anyone to complain. Honestly, what do you expect?

    Besides, hollywood has been pretty generous in this category if I say so myself.

    Btw, a movie was recently released about the polish resistance during wwii... It was called Defiance.

    There are tons of movies you guys aren't mentioning or just aren't aware of.

  • totally random texture thread

    Quote from keres

    Lets keep the ball rolling people edit: sharpened a bit.

    I'm working on new texture for my keres4 texture set. Just 1 brick from it, i want to know how its going

    on this image it doesn't look right imo, and i have no idea why i think it's the grout.

    You need to use a different base texture for your brick, it looks more like a rough concrete surface or almost gravel.

    The edges of the brick are too fine, they need to be 'distressed' some. Assuming you are using layer styles, add some noise to your inner glow.

    The grout itself doesn't look too bad, but you need to work with the color a little bit.

  • Almost 12% of US Games Biz Laid Off

    mmm, stereotypes ftl...

    I only wish we pushed secondary language more in our school system. granted I chose to take latin for 3 years instead of spanish or french, so i'm not one to talk

    I really do envy you guys for being fluent in multiple languages.

    Quote

    you're expected to have perfectly fluent English to work in the US

    I wouldn't say that is true, or atleast from what I have experienced. The company I work for just hired a loatian guy that doesn't speak very well at all, but his portfolio and talent/skills got him the job. I would guess it all depends on your occupation, though.

  • Mirror's Edge

    I bought this game last weekedn on steam.... There's no doubt the game beautiful but in my opinion the tutorial never fully gives the player a grasp of the gameplay and you end up spending the whole time trying to figure it out and once you do the game is over.

    I found this game more frustrating than entertaining. It was a step in the right direction, but god dammit, make it fun.
