    Yeah, its an official xbox mic. I can listen to messages and stuff with it so it works, i just screwwed up the settings somewhere
  2. eugimon
    I got a mic but for some reason it's not working with halo. I gotta figure out what's going on.

    ah... then I'm going to blame "lag" as to why you were getting twice as many kills as the rest of us... that's it... lag...
  4. eugimon
    was it really laggy for anyone else? I was getting like 15fps there on the last mission.
  5. eugimon
    yeah, how did it break the game for you?

    yup, the indignity made worse by my 6 year old son cackling with as I get vaporized.

    ahahaha, finally completed my solo legendary run. I hate those binary rifle dogs so very, very much.

    so, had a pretty amazing big team slayer match. Came in first at 23/3. I told my wife and she just looks at me and asks, "were you playing against little kids? I think you were."

    Man, multiplayer is buggy. Playing a match and our side is up by a hundred at around 600 points, suddenly game goes laggy and I'm staring at the lobby, game restarts but now red is at 980, 10 seconds later the game is over.
  11. eugimon
    yeah, that one. I bought the last one there. But chances are good that if that location got it, the other stores in our area got it as well.

    MP10 was in the bay area. I picked one up about a week ago at the fremont TRU for 119, luckily i had a 20% off coupon.

    good point... I mean, Ted made nearly 500 million while Shooter didn't even clear a hundred and the Transformers franchise has cleared well over 2 billion... so yeah, poor career moves Mark.

    finally got my TRU MP Prime. Other than a quick fix to tighten up the ankles, he's fantastic. MP01 might as well have been carved out of stone compared to the new prime.

    DX Chogokin Super VF-27

    eugimon replied to IXTL's topic in Toys

    too bad it's not a new sculpt... the old v1 design really hasn't held up well.

    I'm with bay on this. If actors think a role is beneath them, then don't take it. I love Weaving but if he's just going to crap all over captain america and transformers... well, no one made him take those roles and certainly no one made him sign multi-movie deals. Not saying he needs to gush about them... but he could just has easily kept his mouth shut or just said he was grateful for the opportunity to make so much money for less than 2 hours of work, at the expense of some no name VA... whose only shtick in life is doing voice work.

    DX VF-25G

    eugimon replied to zulu's topic in Toys

    yeah, Adobe RGB allows for you to be able to print to CMYK printers from RGB monitors and get good color reproduction. NEF is Nikon's raw format. They're both going to affect the colors but in different ways. When you convert (or shoot in) to a compressed format like JPEG, you tend to lose some information or certain things become simpler, like having banding in gradients. If you use the NEF codec and work in photoshop (or whatever) then it lets you deal with the original information and then you can convert the file to jpeg or whatever for posting, but you can better control how aggressive the compression will be.

    Nikon has a NEF codec for adobe that will let you work with the files in the original format.

    DX VF-25G

    eugimon replied to zulu's topic in Toys

    have you tried taking HDR shots for the 25g? If you don't crank it up, I think you should be able to get some nice shots that show off your weathering without all the blown highlights.

    Conjecture? LOL. Again, watch the movie; they EXPLICITLY state the motivations for Shaw, Holloway, Vickers and Weland. The only character where you need to use even the tiniest bit of reasoning is with David. If those motivations don't do anything for you... fine, but stop pretending like they aren't valid... billions of people around the world spend their entire lives grappling with those ideas. As for it being unrealistic for millburn to try and pet the snake thing... I advise you to go watch Discovery Channel for any length of time. You'll find people of all sorts sticking their hands into pits filled with venomous snakes, spiders, into the mouths of alligators, sharks, tigers, etc. People doing dumb things around animals has been going on for a hundred thousand years, I don't see any reason why it would suddenly stop 70 years from now. If you don't like it, fine. Go watch whatever you want.. but I find no reason to hold the opinions of people who apparently missed huge portions of the beginning, middle and end of the movie... where they explain stuff... with any degree validity.

    Who would she tell? She knows that David infected Holloway, knows that the other scientists tried put her in stasis, she does't trust anyone? And the rest of the crew wasn't allowed in Vicker's apartment... that's spelled out pretty explicitly in the beginning. Honestly... if you can't figure those parts out on your own, then you weren't paying attention. David brings home one of the jars, he opens the jar and breaks open one of the containers and puts some of the goo on his finger. He then finds Holloway, and Holloway is a giant douche bag to David and so David decides to use Holloway as a guinea pig to find out what the good does, so, Holloway gets infected by David. Holloway infects Shaw when they have sex. The weapon causes Shaw to become pregnant with the big starfish. And yeah, the bits about the Engineers aren't spelled out for you, just like the bit about the space jockey in Alien isn't spelled out. Sorry, but if you missed out on all the bits between David/holloway and Shaw, I question how much you were paying attention.

    I kinda agree about fifield and millburn. But, I think their actions work within the genre... people are always doing stupid things in horror movies. Why do people run up stairs to escape from the bad guys, where are they going to go? Why do they knock out the bad guy and then run away? Why do seasoned marines start shooting each other? But in the metaphorical sense, neither of these guys are believers. Their interests are selfish, their vision myopic. Both are betrayed by the things they love. As for the crew of the prometheus sacrificing themselves... again, that's a pretty common thing for the genre... but also within the context of the story, they know what's at stake. They've seen the monster tear the crew apart and they know the Engineers are heading towards earth. Even if they bailed on the captain, what are they going to do? Suffocate or starve after two years of being stuck in an escape pod with Vickers? I agree that there are parts of the story that needs work and if people want to get hung up on those or if they just plain don't like it... fine. Good for them. I think that there's enough going on in Prometheus to over look the negatives. I find the discussion on parents/children, creator/creation to be thought provoking and interesting and it doesn't hurt one bit that the movie is beautifully shot and has some wonderful and nuanced performances in David and Shaw.

    shaw - true believer; her faith has been tested and she still believes in something greater than herself or even the Engineers. holloway - has a child like faith, and like a child, his world is shattered when he doesn't get what he wants David - he's a child, emotionally and metaphorically. His child like demeanor is shown as he plays ball, the way he tries to act like people he admires (lawerence, an outsider who was accepted). But like a child he's also jealous and emotionally fragile, he sees his attempts to be accepted by the crew and by his "father" rebuffed and continually insulted.. eventually he lashes out against them. Vickers - the angry, neglected child. She's jealous of the affection that Weyland shows David. She wants Shaw and Holloway to be wrong so she can see Weyland suffer the same loss and disappointment she feels. Weyland - true believer but unlike shaw and holloway has the sort of faith that many fundamentalists espouse... selfish and entitled. He doesn't care about anything other than his own "salvation" The story is the relationship between parents, siblings and children... between god and his creation(s). I get that this is a subject that isn't going to track for everyone, but it's ridiculous to claim that it isn't there on screen.

    not sure what movie you guys were watching. the character motivations are all there, some are stated explicitly through the script and other's are shown through their actions. If you don't get it or it doesn't speak to you.. fine, whatever, you like whatever you want. But it's all there, on screen and it makes sense.
