I'm on the fence about using Origin. I think this beta will decide if I want to put up with it.

What the fuck is Metacritic doing by tallying user reviews!?!?!?? Sure people like to have their say about a game, but it should not be mashed in with the media's own PROFESSIONAL critiques. If they separated the two, then this whole issue wouldn't even exist!

It's like if Giantbomb combined its scores with player reviews. It's stupid and unprofessional, which says a lot about Metacritic.

Even with professional reviews, the mean score (based on an aggregation of dissimilar data points) is a fundamentally flawed metric. I'd love to see someone create a Metacritic competitor that allowed users to custom-aggregate scores based on sources they trust, whether those sources be professional games journalists or other users.

YES. THIS. And it wouldn't be hard to do either. You could simply add games to your tracking list and, when the reviews come out, the tracked game's aggregate score will represent the opinions you trust.

@SharkMan, @Winsord: Thanks for the tips. I'll experiment with that soon

@Robo: My first guess would be that it's something to do with the alpha channel. (This guide is helpful)

Like a boss.

I've made the bomb logo into its own sticker if anyone wants it.

made some slight changes to my car, and i'm pretty proud that it turned out right considering all the problems i'm having with the mediatracker.

Wow. Is that a custom mod? or do lights and your profile name show up like that on everyone's cars?

@RussianDrink: no BatmanBatmanBatman? :P

Oh wow. All of the GB members should put this as their skin. Then we can join the GB server and take a group shot out in the desert somewhere :D
