I'm sorru for still being a pedantic bitch about this, but the glorious return of the old player in the Hakun article just reminded me how fantastically better it was.
Are you deliberately ignoring me or do I just smell really bad I've done everything mentioned above, as well as having turned off my copy of Spyware Doctor and Windows 7 tells me all my drivers are up to date yet the vids are still so jerky I feel like the guys are doing The Robot

My Device Manager is convinced I have the latest drivers. I even went to ATU's website itself and manually installed whatever latest drivers they had for my graphics card and processor just to be doubly sure.

Obviously it's something on my end, but I'm pretty confounded

Off-Topic » Do you have any tattoos?

My friends and I were in Amsterdam a few years ago and we told my buddy that we'd pay for his tattoo if we could decide what it was.

Off-Topic » Do you have any tattoos?

@spaded: Fucking this. I have two birds on my chest which might come off as pretty cliche (I prefer the term classic), but I designed them myself and they have a pretty big meaning about a period of my life. Tribals are silly as fuck on people with no heritage associated with them. A guy I know has a beautiful Samoan arm piece in reference to his heritage.

Sorry about the gratuitous male nudity, but this pic was originally ade to show off that amazing paintball hit that went right over the vest and under the mask

General Discussion » Favourite "unknown" band?

@Rawrz: 2000 people? Say Anything has had way bigger shows than that. And they've also been pushed heavily by their pretty huge label (Sony BMG).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling them sellouts (Which I think is a stupid term), but when you have music videos of this caliber, you're pretty known.

Sorry to be the pedantic bitch in this thread, but those three aren't unknown. Great bands though

@nanikore: Not really, The Distance and Short Skirt Long Jacket were pretty big hits on alternative hit lists

General Discussion » The Most Expensive Game Ever Made

I'm surprised Donkey Kong Country wasn't there. I remember it being touted as the most expensive thing ever made back in the day.
IT WAS MADE ON A SILICON GRAPHICS WORKSTATION! THE MOST EXPENSIVE AND ADVANCE THING EVER! THEY MADE T-1000 IN TERMINATOR 2 WITH IT!

Off-Topic » This kind of thing really annoys me

@Supermarius: If you're smart enough to go on ebay to buy games, you're smart enough to go on Metacritic or something. And nobody searching for that game in particular should be dumb enough to fall for it.
Then again, I'm a cranky bastard who doesn't suffer fools lightly

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 » What is the likeness of P5 being on the Xbox 360?

Humongous.

The Japanese game market is still slowly dying and P4 sold very well here in Europe. They'd be fools not too target a worldwide audience. Especially with the ever growing weeaboo crowd which would gobble it up.
Not to mention the sheer amount of so called third party exclusives going multiplat.
Remember that the entire Shin Megami Tensei franchise has never been a Sony exclusive.

Still not signed which I think is a shame, but I'm really down with Anamanaguchi. Their latest album is a step back from Power Supply (Which you can dl here for free!)
But it's nice to see something new brought to the table

Off-Topic » Songs that get stuck in your head for the wrong reasons

Chikkity china, the chinese chicken

The sheer rapid fire nonsense and references to things I think are awesome of this song still resonate and bore their way into my skill for the rest of the week (see what I did there?)

@Disengage: Fucking this one too!

General Discussion » What do you bring to a forum discussion?

Snarky bitchiness with a slight sprinkle of arrogance and a borderline eidetic memory on the history of video games.
Not to mention my winning personality as a self loathing narcissist.

General Discussion » GB Video Player

I think it's pretty terrible (And no, it's not because of the ads! I'd happily welcome them if they were available here)
I just think it's ugly, slow to actually get started (The player to actually load that is. Never had any problem with the old way of loading, but that's probably cause I have fat pipes) and very cluttered compared to the old one.
I hate to come with negative feedback to the great engineering team cause they have made a fantastic website template with GiantBomb and ComicVine (Probably AnimeVice too, but I haven't swung by)
Plus the amount of trouble people have been having outside of the petty ad complaints make it stick out as not being worthy this site. Then again, they've just implemented it and the guys upstairs will use their talents to optimize or whatever it's called (I ain't no engineer) the player.
But at the moment I'm afraid the license they've paid might just be a waste on par with gin for Jeff and Dave

EDIT: Oh yeah, I completely and agree with the need for ads, but sending a link to someone to the site and the first thing that pops up is "Turn off your ad-blocker!" can leave a sour taste in the mouth of people not familiar with the site. I don't know if you've changed the message, but it does seem a wee bit strict.

Anybody stupid enough to buy these things deserve to be ripped off.

There are sharks all over the water. If you swim into their mouths then fuck you.
Take some fucking responsibility for your actions.
