  1. That's because only people in the US say stupid phrases like this.

    I've heard it used here and there and it isn't a stupid phrase. Used in the right situation it can be fucking hilarious.

    I would be shocked if Nintendo actually thinks they can win this. It seems like it would be beneficial for them if people use it in the media and pop culture. Sorta like free advertising.

  2. The guys in the OP's video are huge tools, I think that's their major selling point. It's like shock rock for the new kids. Everyone's trying to get noticed and be original these days, it's really no surprise that people make music that awful. One day we actually will hear death metal + polka + autotune + electric slide guitar + orchestra hits + chimpunk vocals and a rap breakdown all in one, and someone will be serious about it, and the same discussion will happen for their video.

    More than likely.

    The thing is though, the combination of all these different genres doesn't have to sound like puke. Some of these guys just have some immense natural talent for sucking.

    Hell, even modern day country gets a lot of different stuff thrown into it. Does most of it suck? Yeah, maybe. But there is a lot of it that is fun to listen to as well.

  3. Oh my. I can't even pin what genre that is and I haven't seen suck like that in a long time.

    Welcome to 6 months ago.

    Seriously? As slow as things are around here and you're going to pull the, "I've seen this so it's old!" card?

  4. I've been into headphones for years now and I never pass up an opportunity to give something new that I see a listen. That said I don't buy every low end or mid priced headphone I see just to check it out because I've went through so many that I'm very content with my Sennheiser HD 590's. They sound just a little bit bright when they are fresh out of the box but they break in perfectly. I have a pair of HD 580's as well and I admit they sound close but the 590's have the tear drop style open air can that is so incredibly comfortable you can just forget they're on your head. If I'm serious about sitting down and enjoying my cans I plug them into a Cambridge Audio integrated amp. Sound card is a creative X-Fi, one that I would like to upgrade sometime in the near future. It was considered very nice when I got it but that was a long time ago and it's a bit obsolete. Works fine though.

    For going portable I always go for isolation headphones. If you're on a bus or somewhere noisy you can just go into your own little world of music. I've tried tons of them and I have yet to find some that made me want to replace my Etymotic Research ER-4. They've released newer better ones of course but mine are still in great shape so spending the money on an upgrade pair of the same brand isn't really justified and they simply sound phenomenal. I plug them into a Cowon D2 portable multimedia player. For the portables I've tried it has a pristine sound and it charges off of a mini USB which is very convenient for me. It will also play flac files which is nice if you're really into immaculate sound.

    Just throwing this out there: Has anyone else noticed what an incredible sound signature the PSP has? That blew my mind. It's a petty little reason of mine for why I would never buy a DS.

  5. If they were trying to use accounts of real soldiers and simulate real missions/objectives I might be able to understand why this bitch is throwing a temper tantrum, but they're not.

    It isn't even like you play as the Taliban performing TERRORIST missions. If I understand correctly what they article was saying, it just allows you to play as a Taliban soldier in multi-player. It so doesn't matter.

  6. The post quality on OCR is better than anywhere I've ever seen for all types of posting. PPR can be very interesting and thought provoking, you just have to click into it knowing that people are going to call you out if you say something idiotic. Yes, it has its moments of ridiculousness.

    Whenever threads like this come up I'm always compelled to mention that part of the reason the forums on OCR are so great is because we have good moderators who allow people to express themselves and really come across as an individual not a little blip of text. If you get looking around you'll find that isn't the case most other places. The moderators are incredible oppressive and it basically makes the forum boring or outright stupid.

    So yeah. Keep on keepin' on OCR.
