General Chat / RE:THe Most Anticipated Rock Album of 2007
« on: May 18, 2007, 12:38:41 AM »Quote
You're Linkin Park, you weren't some extremely talented set of artists at any point, so stop thinking you can be all of a sudden. Go back to making your Rap-Rock, radio friendly hits and stop trying to be artistic.
Ahahahahaha I enjoy this sort of emo internet posting. Let's rap!
Seriously, who are you? Do you choose to ignore their first two albums?
Sure, this album is not like their first two efforts - from the outset this was their goal, the whole process of making the album was done differently (I've only listened through once, but I haven't passed judgment yet), but for you to come out and call them untalented swine (well, I added the swine part) is pretty ignorant.
Yes, it was highly anticipated. We all know how popular Hybrid Theory was, and the follow-up album stuck to the same formula and was high-quality (but did not have as much of an impact). I wouldn't say that it grabbed me like their first two albums.
Feel free to find me the references where people have referred to Minutes to Midnight being a Rock album or Linkin Park being a Rock artist. I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere as most people seem to actually know Linkin Park.
EDIT: Updated with quote tags for extra emphasis of this drama bandwagon!

NWR Forums Discord / RE:Irrational Halo hate thread
« on: May 16, 2007, 03:13:08 AM »
I was over at a mates place around the time that the Halo 3 beta went live (a little over two hours ago now), so we went to find out if it was available (via Crackdown, we're not that cool to get it another way).
No dice.
Checked out the Bungie site. Spent less than a minute to find out there was a problem and then spent an hour laughing at the people getting angry on the forums at the fact that the game wasn't out yet.
I'm not sure whether that's an example of irrational hate or love of Halo but its certainly tragic.

Because Eidos and developer Crystal Dynamics didn't receive Wii development kits in time, the Wii version of the game won't be hitting shelves with the PS2 version, due out at the end of this month.
WHY DIDN'T THEY WITHHOLD THE DEV KITS? WHYYYYYYYYYYY?

Straight from the site (man, some people need to be lead by the hand these days)
Quote
1) Quality. Games for Windows branded titles undergo extensive testing, and not just by the publisher. Microsoft also invests in quality checking each title to ensure they meet performance and reliability standards.
2) Compatibility. Games for Windows branded titles work on Windows XP and Windows Vista based PCs, including both 32 and 64 bit editions. Games for Windows titles that support controllers are also compatible with the Microsoft XBOX 360 controller for Windows, including the XBOX 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows. They even support widescreen resolutions and more.
3) Safety features. You can be confident that any title carrying the Games for Windows brand will support the new parental controls and family settings features in Windows Vista.
4) Easy to Play. Games for Windows branded titles are easy to install, find and remove, especially in Windows Vista. Every Games for Windows title appears in the new Windows Vista Games Explorer (no more hunting around the start menu for that game you just installed). And Games for Windows branded titles all offer some form of “easy install”, putting you in the game more quickly.
Why are these important? Because Games for Windows is all about letting you focus on the FUN.
www.gamesforwindows.com
Considering that many of these games are going to be compatible with their Xbox brethren (you could play online against people on a PC or a 360) and that online gaming is a series of isolated games, it is certainly an interesting experiment. With a new OS and new multimedia APIs (Direct X 10 that is) on the way this is just an initiative to make PC development easier.
Personally, I don't care. Subscription gaming has always left a sour taste in my mouth.

Nintendo Gaming / The "I don't have Pokemon, Leave Me Alone You Clod" Thread
« on: May 13, 2007, 01:42:41 AM »
Alright, this has happened way too much lately and I'm sick of it.
Stop sending me private messages asking for matches.
Its great that you worked out how to use private messages (or got banned, its all the same to me) but take that bit of intellect and build upon it.
Did I leave a Friend Code in that thread? No
Did I say that I have Pokemon Pearl or Diamond? (it is Diamond right? Not Sapphire or Ruby or Fire Red or Leaf Green?) No
Do I have any intention to get this new Pokemon game? No
I don't even have a DS.
So think twice before you click that padlock next to my post. I'm ignoring all these requests at the moment but if they don't stop I will act. And considering that I'm seeing lots of IM usernames and email addresses posted freely on the site, the biggest limitation will be creativity.
PS: I realise the irony of posting this in the Smack Talk forum given that we have a problem with users not reading/posting in the right threads. Sue me.

It would be nice to contribute to NWR, but there's a lot of other things I have to work on in the meantime stay tuned.
Let's go over the requirements quickly
Quote
- Be knowledgeable of Nintendo and Nintendo games
What's a Nintendo?
Quote
- Live in Australia for most of or all of the year (native Aussies preferred!)
Well that's a given. And yes, I'm a native. Though I don't hunt koalas with spears or box kangaroos regularly.
Quote
- Possess strong writing skills and enthusiasm to improve them
Does "sarcastic forum posting" count?
Quote
- Write critically and accept criticism and suggestions from NWR editors
I give as good as I get.
Quote
- Be able to play and write about Australian releases on a frequent basis
"Australian releases" and "frequent" do not belong in the same sentence.
Quote
- Be able to attend and cover Australian gaming events
Hahahaha I've got some hilarious cosplayer pics from GO3 that was a couple of months ago.
Quote
- Keep tabs on upcoming/current Australian releases and OFLC game ratings
Snail movements would be more active
Quote
- Communicate well with others and attend online meetings whenever possible
Well I'm here, and I'm not banned yet.
Now that you are my sworn enemy, I must ensure that you do not get a job at NWR. If that means stealing a job from you, then so be it.
