It's an altogether different attitude that's difficult to eloquate, when you get home, take off your shoes, sit in your underwear on your couch and see what everybody else is doing, get in party chat "yo wassup", it's almost like a party in your house, you feel socially connected and alive.
If you can find these stores they tend to be small, indpendent businesses. The big box stores have pretty much ruined the hifi market and have been since early 1980s.
I've found craigslist in one of the best places to find decent quality speakers. Of course they are almost always used and tend to be older but as far as I'm concerned, they are just as good, if not better, than the stuff being produced today. This year alone I've bought 3 pairs of vintage Klipsch.
Jesus Christ! I could've saved $5 by going to Gamestop but instead I bought a game off of Steam. Now I'll have to eat ramen noodles and tree bark for the next 3 weeks!
I've only been into GS maybe 2 or 3 times but I would gladly pay an extra $5-10 not to have to interact with the cretins that shop and work in that hell hole of a store.
Fun fact: I bought Crysis and Crysis Warhead for $10 last weekend-normally sells for $40. I saved $30!
See? That's a deal. Saving $5-10...eh, not so much. That's the equivalent of not buying a bag of chips and a 1/2 gallon of milk at the grocery store. Big deal.
A professional game developers 9 to 5 job is to work on creating a game.
These guys are doing it in their freetime and they are building from the ground up. Goto their website-I see ingame screenshots, Youtube videos, new models, skins, sounds and a bunch of other stuff. Giv'em a break.
You mentioned in another topic that you didn't like Fallout 3, so why would you get New Vegas? Did you expect it to be more fast paced and less open? Aside from a few small complaints I'm really enjoying NV. It actually feels like a Fallout sequel, whereas FO3 felt more like a spin off.
What are you talking about? Developers are always taking old games and making sequels. Of course, most of them are awful pieces of trash that barely resemble the games their based off of and/or are stripped of the gameplay elements that made them great in order to appeal to a wider audience(ie. idiots).
Plenty of sequels out there-just lower your expectations when you play them.
Is it ironic for someone with an Oblivion avatar to be over analyzing why the invisible, blind, armless midget shark can't climb onto a box? Why is it that you crap on every thread in this forum because some minor gameplay mechanic doesn't seems right or how the developers didn't 100% stick to their word or some other asinine crap. For God's sake, its a video game. Stop taking this crap so seriously.
