Let's get back to it with the first DLC episode of Alan Wake, The Signal! Literally! Look at those chompers, om nom nom. Alan keeps his teeth real shiny just in case he has to take a professional headshot (mugshot?) for a plastic book cover insert.

I hope you come across a floating "pizza" that manifests a pizza with pineapples. Alan then exhales sharply and chastises himself for being a liar. Having never really seen the DLC (I played on the 360 and I rarely buy DLC) the reusing of assets seems fine. Resource-wise, I can forgive the developers reusing material for a ten dollar price tag. Gameplay-wise, it makes sense that Alan revisiting his memories would entail him revisiting familiar places.

Has there ever been a study on advertising being so blatant that it actually lowers the chances of a person buying the product? Because when I saw that goddamn phone I just got angry at Verizon.

The one case I can think of is if your product appeals to a specific demographic, there's a good chance it'll flop. quote:The more harbingers of failure like the product, the worse this effect is. If they buy a product repeatedly, it’s even more likely to fail. And the logical opposites also hold true: if harbingers of failure avoid a product, it does pretty well, and popularity with a different group of consumers—the "harbingers of success"—spells good news.

A program called FeedBack, used to make song charts for Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and all the other indie plastic guitar games out there. It's a pretty long process that I can't really explain here, but I added this to the description and it's a good place to start:quote:To download this song and play it for yourself, first go to the following link: It was fun to make for sure!

I also enjoyed the TV show part a lot so I dunno what to tell you! Also, it seems Remedy's interpretation of that discussion we had about who wrote who into existence is a wholehearted shrug. So great, I guess that solves that!

The only criticism I would have is that the screeching, climbing notes on "Memory and thought" should be a single note leading into a higher sustained note, since the actual guitar sounds like he's sliding up a fret and bending the strings.

it always kind of amuses me that i guess the ad licensing ran out for the alan wake dlc so you have NEW ads in the form of, say, a magical verizon phone but the batteries are no longer energizer brand and are now generic-looking bricks of d-cells

Speaking of Verizon, I saw a wonderful post on Imgur the other day that demonstrates why they are awesome and fight for your rights and should be held on a pedestal as a shining example of a company that cares. No wait, the opposite of that. quote:Verizon has been in the news a ton lately with regards to Net Neutrality. In case you have been completely in the dark, they are an absolutely miserable company and are working hard every day to make sure you do not have an open and free internet. quote:One of the largest rip-offs Verizon slings at you in stores is the accessories. About 8-9 years ago, phones stopped being profitable to sell as they just weren't getting a high enough markup to make money. The resulting change pushed them into pushing accessories to customers WAY harder than they should. As mentioned previously, the scorecard mechanic requires employees to sell accessories or they will be fired. What you don't know is that they are required to average a certain dollar amount PER PHONE sold. IE, if you buy an iPhone, the employees need to sell you x dollars (Let's say $75). That's the reason why they push you very hard to buy them because they have to. quote:If you happen to live in a state where this does not effect you, skip this one, else, you may have noticed that the taxes on your $100 phone can be upwards of $50-$60 bucks! You ask them "WTF?" and they point to a disclaimer on the wall and indicate that it is [State]'s fault as they charge it on the full retail cost. This is only a prtial lie. While the state may do that, every other company in the state understands this and pays for the taxes themselves or include it into their monthly costs. Another one of the examples where Verizon blames the other people so they can pass the buck to the customer and the state. quote:Micromanagement is abysmal at Verizon. They would stand behind us while we were talking to customers and take notes on the clipboard. They would interrupt us to try and 'upsell' the customer to more expensive things and then coach us, SOMETIMES IN FRONT OF THE CUSTOMER, on how we could rip them off more efficiently. I always loved when customers would just leave because they were tired of the hovering management and then we would get blamed for it. Verizon is extremely anti-net-neutrality, by the way, to the point where they at one time sued the FCC over it and lost. CJacobs fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Aug 1, 2017 |
