Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I rate this topic a 3/10 - it could have been a hell of a lot worse, but as it is its not looking too hot.

You seem to have mistaken a review for simply listing a few entirely subjective pros and cons, as well as compressing the small amount of data you do have into a single paragraph.

To be fair, though, you have managed to at least make that one paragraph legible and have thankfully not gone ahead and elaborated on each of those single points in a paragraph of their own - short is weak, incredibly long is simply not what the demographic wants.

In the future I'd aim for having at least a good three paragraphs of solid material and opinion, not using the cool smiley to post a topic, and refraining from using arbitrary scores.

That one or the other with the attack womb. Can't remember their name, thought that counts.

Anyone can be an idiot to provoke a reaction. It takes pure geniusy magic to rile up an entire community.

They do an incredibly cool reference to him in the Dark Brotherhood campaign. Although I don't suppose a lot of people read the books in Skyrim...

But I totally agree with some Arena dlc. Think they could be a whole lot more ambitious than that.

Quick-time sequences comes close.

I hate wide, open, empty spaces and tight, enclosed ones. Both are annoying as piss and are really, to say the least, extremely fucking lazy design. That includes sewers, deserts, whatever.

It's a real shame because sewers and deserts tend to be my favourite kinds of places. I resent videogames for ruining those for me.

oh noes someone i've never even fucking heard off posted a topic with opinions on a subject that my opinions differ on time to get all butthurt

It had so.

Many.

Fucking.

Stick-games.

I'd say that the maturity level on the forum is pretty good, considering the extremes. Good balance of pretentiousness and douchery.

The animal kingdom's personal aggressive little asshole.

I like to believe it is. Doesn't belong anywhere else on the forums, but the moderators probably have their own opinions on the subject.

Well, thought I may as well post a quick little review of something gaming related - no harm in it, right?

Over Christmas I got the opportunity, at length, to test the uDraw tablet for the Wii. Before my impressions, here's my basic runthrough with the hardware:

The tablet is simple plug-in and play software. Remember to plug it in after accessing the "game", though, because maneuvering the tablet to point the motion-sensitive controls is a far bigger hassle then you'd ever expect it to be.

The game itself consists of some fairly simple menus, and navigating them is a synch. While it features some basic tutorial, the modes boil down to two option: using a colouring book and a very paint.net reminiscent program. Obviously, went with the latter.

The first aspect you'll notice is that you can't actually actually set both opacity-sensitive and pressure-sensitiving - you have to rely on one or the other, and both of them are completely pre-set without any options for adjusting sensitivity or the like. However, you can set Alpha values so that's some sort of substitute to work with.

The painting tool uses a variety of canvases ("canvas", "sidewalk", "notebook" etc) and backdrops to choose from as well as a single track of "relaxing" music that's completely going to grind your gears after listening to it for an hour.

Despite taking its cues from existing photo-manipulation and painting programs the in-game menu is a bit of a hassle to use and you'll have to pull it up constantly for making changes to colours - it can take a disproportionate amount of time to select a suitable colour. Not to mention you'll notice a distinct lack of layers.

You hear that? Let me repeat it. There are no layers in this program.

The pressure-sensitivity is completely shoddy and the tablet is a hassle to work with - the wii tablet pen makes me feel like I'm drawing with a fucking crayon and the results are a pixel paintbrush with adjustable layers of atrocious anti-aliasing. There's also an insidious features which limits the amount of paint that you can actually use on any one picture.

I can't reccomend this tablet in the slightest. Even the worst of computer tablets run circles around this piece of crap and I've used a few of those.

Checking out the site, it's painfully obvious that even professional artists can barely use this piece of crap. I can't stress enough that this is a complete waste of your money.

Both are pretty lackluster, but Dead Island is without a doubt "better" - or at least more interesting.

If you aren't enjoying the game then you shouldn't keep it, nuff said.

Not in the slightest.

Arguing with morons is the biggest waste of time I can think of.

Questions of the Day
1. How were your holidays?

They sucked on so many levels that I resent you for making me think about them.

2. What is your 2012 Video Game Wishlist?

I wish that the world can finally move away from the military shooter genre, and for the industry to finally see some shooters the likes of which Hard Rest brought us.

I wish for the Wii U's tablet capabilities to not be as shitty as the uDraw mechanics that ubisoft heaped with the Wii. That one I believe actually has promise, and I hope that it just overall plays well.

I wish for indie games to stew out another batch of creative and challenging titles, and I hope that the AAA batch takes a cue from them.

I wish that pirates would stop with their shit. Seriously, there's nothing to be gained here other then some free shit. Stop it, assholes. Those producer guys are assholes too, but you're the source of this revolving clusterfuck of reactionary measures.

I wish that the entire Videogame industry, the fanbases and everything as a whole just will start to suck a bit less.

So I hit level 50 and pretty much finish the game when someone quietly lets me know that shouts are unlocked manually with dragon souls.

So I went through the entire game without using a shout besides the Unrelenting Force one. Go figure.

Kind of thinking the same thoughts here. Are people actually discussing this legitimately.

I do agree in part with poozy. I know there's a few folks out there with hairy penises and if that's the case, then I'm not judging. Never even had to trim, myself.

Don't think I've ever had a boss of mine be a douchebag to me, ever. Maybe I'm just lucky, but maybe you're doing something wrong as well.

Take this at face value. He might be fucking with you, but probably not. Keep an eye out for a better job.

My father was (no idea now, he's probably dead) a bum that my mother fucked when she was 19. My stepfather was an idiot who worked various jobs inbetween large stretches of joblessness - meat-factory worker, farm hand, bouncer.

Not much there, no.

I got a tile with a motivational quote on it.

"Destiny isn't a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice"

I'd take a picture of the sorry piece of crap but I threw it out. Also got myself some socks.

Midnight till Dawn.

Don't know why, but the usually busy streets being completely deserted with barely a soul in the vicinity makes me feel so alive.

Merry motherfucking boxing day.

Shit, that's one of the best redesigns I've seen grace this thread.

I tried then remembered that I no longer have a functioning scanner.

I slowly go insane as more people I'm related to are placed in my vicinity. I'm sure its the same for a lot of people.

So I'll take the close family, as the lesser of the two evils.

actually, sex is only overrated when I do the fucking. I'm EXTREMELY into receiving anal.

King of the flaming fucking fairy queens, right here.

Anyway, I don't get sleepy after I orgasm, and if anything I kind of wish I did - would spare me the damn pillow talk and serve as a shortcut to getting to sleep. Don't see anything wrong with it.

Still on cable in my area.

I am using GIMP, btw.

I should have phrased that... better.

*I* don't have a computer, period.

Are they cold? If they're hot, I'll take either, but I really do hate cold ham.

Depends on two things; how much preparation I've had, and how much liquer I've imbibed.

My confidence and those two aspects are directly proportional.

Oblivion.

And I don't know why.
