Where the hell did you get that from? Of course he's putting it off. Uh, of course it's not ok. But that doesn't mean he owes anything.

How? X_X It's not like they paid to enter.

Or I could just ignore your requests for a better argument.

Funny to blame it on the games. Also, I find Istanbul substantially different from Rome.

I think it's sad that video games are getting to the point that if a sequel isn't radically different it apparently sucks. It's a fucking video game. You play it to have fun. I hope I never end up like that. It's kind of hypocritical, because by that logic Megaman 2-6 suck (same goes for the other series). I love games that people complain are "expansions" of previous games (except Call of Duty), because I get a whole ton more of what I loved in the previous. Who fucking cares if Mario Galaxy 2 was Galaxy 1 with more worlds and powerups, with the exact same gameplay. It's a great game, and if it isn't broken, why fix it?

So you're saying it's the same old but you haven't played it.

King George III was a mother 'uckin templar?!

The British are co- *assassinated*

Too much good music is a legitimate complaint.

You forgot that he went back in time. To defeat Ganon. AGAIN!

I did. Wait, the remix gauntlet or fisticuffs?

Why? The newest version has more features and the clip system is more intuitive. You're a couple years behind. (money isn't an excuse, upgrades are free)

Tax.

If you wanted to avoid reality, then I win. Because all of the robot masters suggested would just cause destruction at certain locations. Galaxy Man could just throw the universe in a black hole. Seriously guys? EMP blasts? Hacking networks? That's it?

Except for the fact that if he's not going to use his "blank check" power to save himself from getting killed by Megaman, he probably won't use it. Ever.

If I wanted to go to this thing, it would be to meet people. Not to hand out resumes and look for work. You don't make friends by asking for work.

Galaxy Man. Nothing sucks more than a black hole.

Meteo Xavier, do you network at all outside of the interest of finding work?

I wish. >_>

Oh, the irony.

I wish to engage you in the gentlemanly challenge of fisticuffs.

Right so it's perfectly fine to HIDE potential counter examples and using extreme cases (128kbps) to support his point. Right, so if you simply can't make blanket assumptions then why are you writing an entire article based on blanket assumptions? Also, the introduction of the article is like a childish 6th grader trying to write a persuasive essay, hasn't even learned to keep "I" out of articles that are meant to inform. When you start your writing with "I hate mp3" it kinda shows how overblown and opinionated the rest of the article is going to be. He used nothing but convenient evidence (openly admitting that he's not including other evidence but has "disproved" it himself). Ex: " I’ve heard even a 256 kbps mp3s sounding like this " (link plz? how about you let the readers judge?) Also Uh-huh. Well you see, throughout the entire article he provided no proof for the bolded statement there. Why? He conveniently avoided citing any 320 kbps mp3 files. Oh sure, he said they don't sound good. I should just take his word for it then, huh? This is what happens when you have a weak argument with only extreme cases as evidence to support your "blanket assumption". You have to try and avoid talking about things that are counter examples. When you do that, it just shows how weak your argument really is. Especially if you actually do talk about counter examples but dismiss them without directly citing them. Making a point isn't as simple as giving out the tid bits of examples that agree with you. Again: " I’ve heard even a 256 kbps mp3s sounding like this " No, I'm not trying to be that guy. I'm just answering your question.

Because you get file sizes that are substantially smaller for almost no tradeoff in quality (only audiophiles can hear the difference). Also, lol at counting opinionated article written by one guy riddled with contradictions as consensus.

If you can hear the difference between 320kbps mp3 and lossless YOU'VE GOT SOME SERIOUS KILLER STUDIO CHOPS.

Your assumptions that I'm making a recommendation are flat out wrong. I wasn't recommending anything. I never once said to go with a certain solution. He had already made up his mind when I made the post you are so "cleverly" trying to manipulate. You should stop looking for problems that aren't there. Saying that I would always recommend hardware doesn't mean I AM recommending hardware. The initial subject of the thread was over when Garrett decided to go with the GT-10. Sure, I'm "playing with my words" to try and "defend myself". What the fuck else can I do when I'm being attacked for something I wasn't even trying to do? As far as advice goes, my comment about hardware for live use was COMMENT, not advice or a recommendation. The advice I gave in this thread? Was real tangible advice about a subject that I knew about than any others in the thread at that moment in time because I have been heavily practicing it for the past three days: high gain tones in Guitar Rig 5 Pro. I gave him moderately detailed instructions on how to get a tone I was currently working on. If I recall correctly, he actually did end up crafting a tone that he liked. Looks like my advice isn't as "blanket" and "unhelpful" as you think it is. Once more I'd like to say that equating "I would say" to "I am saying" is flat out wrong ESPECIALLY that when confronted on it I say it's not the same thing (yet you still insist I was saying one thing when I told you I wasn't). So what if I didn't explain my opinion on hardware? He already made up his mind on what he wanted.
