Enjoy your blizzard up there guys! Winter here in DC was a ****ing rip-off. Keep getting half-inches or less. :<

Suongadon · **Reply #23963 on:** February 08, 2013, 01:44:50 pm

Bridges//Tunnels//Trains will still be up and running till tonight I'm sure. You could make it up here in time to be snowed in.

watsisname · **Reply #23964 on:** February 08, 2013, 03:04:23 pm

**** that, I'll just go on foot like that guy in Day After Tomorrow. As long as the eye of the storm doesn't go over me I'll be fine!

It's been no more than 2 inches of snow where I live in NJ.

We're expecting 40 centimeters with 100KM/H wind gusts! Should have bought a second shovel.

Are you planning to dual-wield them or do you expect the first one to break?

Haha no I'll be tag-teaming it with my roomates, hopefully.

Well the reviews that I'm doing for that website I mentioned earlier were met with some... disagreement
I asked if I was doing reviews on the basis of what the games look like today, in 2013... because they're being written in 2013
I was told "Yes, compare graphics and whatnot to now and other things"

So I did that

I was then told not to do that when I gave CoD4 a 4/10 (now 6/10 because well, I've been told to make the change)
Reasoning? Gameplay was simple, run and gun. It varied little throughout singleplayer, except for one occasion. Campaign was great in the sense of events that happen (and the Chernobyl level was awesome), but short. The story was okay, but generic. Graphics on a now basis leave them looking terrible, but I did mention what they were back in the day (which were pretty good). Multiplayer was something else, smooth, easy to get in and out, and that was great. It just didn't explore anything new

Replayability was also zero

Don't tell me to do one thing, only to say "bad" and tell me to do the other thing

Also, don't tell me to send you the reviews so you can look at them, and just don't read them and say "it's good". A great deal of things could be fixed IF YOU JUST READ IT

****. I do people a favour and work all the templates out, only to have the one I discussed it all with say I did wrong

Who the hell are you writing for?
1) You're the reviewer; it's your review. They shouldn't have the right to tell you "No, your review is wrong" unless you fail to back up your opinions because they're your opinions.
2) Controversy breeds pageviews. If they want their site to be popular, they can't be afraid of hurting the feelings of a few fanboys. At the very least, the fanboys will rush to the site to defend their precious game in the comments.

deathfun · **Reply #23972 on:** February 09, 2013, 05:53:55 am

www.nukedpixels.com

The site lacked content, so I offered to write 60 reviews for them. I don't mind being told there's some edits that need to be done, but when the reasoning is because he doesn't agree with it because back in the day it was awesome (which he told me "Don't rate it high simply because back in the day it was awesome". If I did, RSV would be 90)

Hypocrisy at it's finest. I'm not getting paid to do this, so honestly I don't give two ****s. I'm trying to be as objective as possible
He mentions that I'm being too objective...
How does one be too objective?

EDIT: Everything got sorted out and the confusion settled. S'all good now

Went to see the Oscar-nominated animated shorts, which were entertaining. First movie (or movies I guess) I've seen in quite a while. Haven't decided whether to see the live-action shorts.

Then I made hot cocoa from Askinosie Cocoa Powder (interesting article about the company; the founder was originally a criminal defense lawyer). The cocoa was really good, although the two tablespoons of sugar might have had something to do with that (hey, I was just following the recipe). Since the factory is roughly within day-trip distance, maybe I'll take a tour sometime.

PC got blue screen. V-driver error. Monitoring app. says the GPU overheats and I can detect a slight scent of burning plastic in the air... Grrr.

I need some help with my headset. It's getting fairly annoying, but for starters my headset is a Plantronics Audio .335, and my audio is Realtek HD Audio 6.0.1.6559. This is an annoying problem, as I used the same headset on a laptop that used the same system and the same drivers, yet my headset isn't picked up when I plug it into the front of my comp. I'm using Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit.

I'm asking this because I've been unable to find any troubleshooting information for the Audio .335. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: Apparently, I need a soundcard. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU UUUUUUU~
