General Chat / CSI
« on: May 16, 2009, 10:06:47 AM »
Personally, I'm split between NY and Miami. The original series' tone has always been too dark and drab for me, although CSI:NY's horrible blue lighting early on was just as bad.

Steven9Wii stopped being funny as soon as everyone started gushing over him. Constantly ****ing to a forum troll doesn't make you look like a savvy and edgy internet type, just a loser. Don't make me leave before this place becomes 4chan.

Forum Games / SPACE FRONTIERS: A Game of Dangerous Galaxoadventures
« on: May 07, 2009, 12:05:50 PM »
The year is 20X9, which is far in the future of mankind. Space is a dangerous frontier where aliens, space criminals, and Muslims live.
Your class can be a Space Cop, Space Criminal, Space Mutant, Cowboy, Rapper, or Space Pirate.
The story starts off where you're on like a spaceship or something and it's career day.

I'm personally not too bothered by them since there isn't a massive influx, but their AI or whatever is advanced enough to string together semi-coherent gibberish from bits and pieces of other posts. Of course, the results are highly hilarious. We need some sort of hall of fame for bot quotes.

Hey, you got your Breakout in my MMO!
Only thing that sucks is that the number of plays you get per day are rarely enough to complete any one mission, and there's no free-play mode.

General Chat / At the End of my Rope
« on: April 26, 2009, 08:20:24 AM »
Okay, so here's the deal. For the past month or two, iTunes has been being a dick and says my iPod is corrupt. It can still play music, but it won't interface with any computer without being deemed corrupted. When I attempt to restore the iPod, it goes days without ever finishing, so that's a no-go. I've reinstalled iTunes, which hasn't worked either. Needless to say, I'm getting PO'd that my expensive iPod is being rendered useless.

General Chat / My Spring Break, and Yours Too
« on: April 18, 2009, 10:35:28 AM »
So, yesterday, I got back from my spring break vacation, which was conspicuously shorter than spring break itself. The majority of it was spent with my family, something spring breaks whould never be spent with. Spring breaks should be spent in warm tropical climates, partyfying and fornimacating. However, I did get to stay at a pretty s****y hotel and go to Busch Gardens Europe in Virginia. I'll start with...
The Good
Of all the rollercoasters I got on, all of them were soul-crushingly badass. My original intention was to buy a T-shirt commemorating my triumph over each of them, although since my funds were not in the quadruple digets, I had to settle for a Big Bad Wolf T-shirt.
I rode every coaster in the park except for Apollo's Chariot and Griffon. I skipped Apollo's Chariot since it was near closing time and I got lost trying to find it, and I skipped Giffon since it scared the [dukar] out of me.
Of all the coasters I rode, Alpengeist was the most hardcore. No floor + being upside down more often than not = freakin' awesome. Even awesomer was the fact that the line was ridiculously short, for some reason.
I got a funnel cake and asked for a "very small amount" of powdered sugar on top. I later suffocated from the cloud of powdered sugar rising off the funnel cake and died.
At a nearby bookstore I bought the first two volumes of The Walking Dead.
I have a habit of drumming on flat objects when I'm bored. There was this one wood table in the lobby of the hotel I stayed at that created an absolutely rich, deep bass when drummed on. I was occupied for a good twenty minutes on that table. One guy started dancing to it.
The Bad
The line for Curse of DarKastle was a good 45 minute wait. That is approximately 600 times the length of the ride itself.
The #1 of theme park lines: the longer you wait in a line alone, the higher the chances of some jack*** accusing you of line-cutting so he can get ahead become. I myself got accused of line-cutting by a group of Russian tourists in line for DarKastle, and the backlash was so great I had to move BEHIND THEM to get everyone to shut the **** up.
Curse of DarKastle sucked. Imagine a simplified theme park version of the movie version of Disney's Haunted Mansion ride, dumb it up, and make it last four minutes.
I saw in the arcade a game called MTV DrumScape. Here's how it works: You pay $1.33 in tokens, pick a song (I chose "Simon Says" by Pharoah Monch because I had 30 seconds to choose, twenty of which were spent wading through Linkin Park and Rascal Flats), listen to the full song, and pretend to bang on a plastic drum set. I repeat: You pay money to listen to a song and slap some fake drums, which have no effect on the song itself.
Now you detail your spring break experience here.

Video Game Chat / First-Person Zelda?

I'm about %89 percent sure this is fake (why would Link wield a staff instead of a wood sword?), but either way, it looks awesome.

General Chat / A Very Specific Request
« on: March 21, 2009, 08:52:20 PM »
Does anyone know where I can find a product meeting the following criteria?
1) An audio editing and mixing program functionally identical to Sony's ACID program, what with the sideways tracks, drag-and-drop interface, automatic looping, and grid-snapping, and without six hundred buttons in your face at all times (in other words, a very very simple, basic music-production tool).
2) Completely free to download the full version, and not some limited-time/functionality demo.
3) Able to import and export MP3s and WAV files without having to download all kinds of plugins and whatnot.
I've found Audacity to be impossibly hard to use for music-creation purposes (trying to sync up two audio files of differing speeds requires insane levels of patience), and things like Sonar and FL Studio confuse me to the point of tears with their millions of doodads and options. I was extremely pleased with the ACID demo I tried, but the prospect of paying infinity dollars for the full version doesn't catch my fancy. Advice on this manner would be greatly appreciated.

General Chat / Favorite Music Genres
« on: March 15, 2009, 12:26:08 PM »
So, what are your particular favorite genres of music? I realize this list is far from comprehensive, but I didn't want to spend al day typing in every little sub-sub-sub genre or scene like emo-ambient or jazz-metal or country-house*.
*See "Cotton-Eye Joe" by Rednex. Or rather, don't.

General Chat / Watchmen Discussion
« on: March 12, 2009, 02:57:08 PM »
I saw Watchmen yesterday. Good movie, was a little PO'd about the absence of the squid, Rorschasch and Adrian Veidt were a little too over-the-top, Nite Owl was a little too Batman-y, sex scenes were a little too porn-y, but otherwise it's immensely faithful to the movie, and I walked away satisfied. Plus, Billy Crudup's dick stole the show, and I look forward to seeing it in future films.

Video Game Chat / Are you a griefer?
« on: March 02, 2009, 02:26:56 AM »
This is definitely going to catch me some flak, but I'll admit, griefing in online games can be ridiculously fun sometimes. For those not in the know, griefing is intentionally annoying and harassing people in online games, usually by means of teamkilling, spamming, blocking doorways and the like. True story: I was griefing in L4D yesterday, and I managed to aggrivate the guy who made Idiots of Garry's Mod, at least for a while. To me, that's pretty cool.
amount of time spent griefing before kicked x average level of angriness exhibited by others in the game = amount of fun had

Site Discussion / Censoring

Should moderators edit posts to remove percieved offensive language, when the [autocensor] already does that?
There is only one right answer.

Video Game Chat / The Companion Cube
« on: February 22, 2009, 01:47:12 PM »
Something that's been nagging me for a long while: Of the people who played Portal, how many honestly felt bad about incinerating the Companion Cube? The whole day I started (and finished) Portal, I felt not one pang of guilt over the "death" of an inanimate cube that you spend one level with, and honestly question the sanity of anyone who actually did.
