First off, very smart use of text for such a long name. It's not easy to really get that kind of name onto a sig so it was smart to use it as a focal point rather than trying to hide it. I agree that the face has too much detail (too much topaz?). I do like the colouring you did, it really makes certain sections just pop. I'd like to see a bit blurred maybe to get the focal point a little more defined but that's just my love of blur I think.

I think some of the effects and stock work could have been toned down just a tad. It's a very nice piece but the BG stocks, the stroke, the lighting, it's all just a little bit over the top. The render is also blended amazingly but the text just feels like it sits on top and was thrown in. Definitely a very nice piece, just a little too "in your face."

BG, render, and overall effects are absolutely sexy. However I would disagree on the "nothing bad to say" front as I don't personally like the text. I find it kinda hard to read and it kinda stands out oddly given how well everything else is blended. It just doesn't feel like it's a part of the same signature.

I appreciate the cleanliness of this piece but unfortunately it feels too large for how little I'm seeing. Not that there aren't subtle effects, there are, but it feels like they are there because they need to fill the space more than because they add anything. I also agree with Boubabi that the lighting effects on the render are lacking, especially compared to everywhere else. Also, @Draper Did the ASG one have to be ASG related for the doubles? Not sure if he took doubles on this but it's in the title and I don't see how this player is ASG related at all?

Very creative and very well made. Effects all around (BG, render, text) are spectacular and everything flows and blends perfectly. Really amazing job here.

The BG does mess with the flow quite a bit as Boubabi said but it also looks pretty cool so it's not so bad. Maybe if the render hadn't been on an angle (which generates a flow of it's own) it wouldn't seem to extreme. Personally I love the render effects, lighting and text, I think they all look solid and the JC is subtle but as nice touch. Well done.

Try to get your hands on some stocks and play around with them; it'll really help with blending so that everything doesn't stand out quite so much. Try to figure out some simple things to do with the text so that they don't need to be a focal point since that should be your render. Also, just a small note, I can see the link to the BG stock you used in the bottom right corner. We all steal shit, I'm not upset at that, but try not to have the links present.

CoDCast #19 has MWR MP I can probably do more in the future though; especially if I get some questions

Shameless self promo! If anyone wants to see some camo grinding in IW check it out!

We’re back for a 2nd episode of the CoDcast this week. Still paying Infinite Warfare and grindin’ toward those camos. In this (rather lengthy) episode of the CoDCast I answer questions from @gorlab and @Banackock. *For Sokolov

Personally I can ONLY run browser discord. Something with it is broken with my Blue Yeti and it crashes if the mic is plugged in as soon as I open the program. Aside from that's discord is beast though.

That moment you think you can find CoD for $20 Also, did you mean BO2? BO3 was last year so not exactly like you've been removed long haha. So far the campaign is very very good. They put a lot of work into the characters and it really shows. Zombies is actually surprisingly fun as well, and that's from someone who has hated Zombies recently. MP is okay (If you'd like to see some of it,might Insuggest watching the CoDCast :P) but doesn't feel like it had the polish I would expect. The map design isn't very good, you die really quick and variants can come off as kinda BS. It's not terrible, I like it more than Ghosts, it it isn't the best they've done by far.

Needs some processing time so be patient. Shorter episode, only 35 minutes, but hopefully I’ll do another tomorrow. Answered questions from @Phil and @Kendrick while playing Infinite Warfare. *For Holik

Going to record now with the above questions but might try to get a 2nd CoDCast recorded tomorrow so if you have more questions now is the time! Also, thank you @Phil and @Kendrick for these ones. If you’d like to leave more I don’t mind but I obviously will never make you. @eaglesfan036 @Shaka @ADwyer87 @boom @der meister @Victor @YEAH!stlemania @tfong @ChrisF @George Costanza @Molholt @Mr. Power @Draper @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream

I'm aware, everything has to pass through the House and the Senate as well. The problem is that those also went Republican which means he will have far less of a struggle to do things than, for example, Obama did. Yeah, there are bound to be things that they don't like and won't get done but that doesn't mean he can do no damage. Basically all the good Obama has done over the past 8 years (Obamacare, Marriage Equality, Women's rights, International relations, etc) I imagine will be wiped out within his first two years. Some of them directly by his hand, some by the senate, and some by Supreme Court appointments. Mark my words, America will take 12 years to effectively travel backwards from where Obama started; at least in relation to social systems within the county. Meanwhile Trump's ultra-rich buddies will enjoy huge tax breaks while the working class that put him in power will see no improvement in their quality of life.

With how I ended the season I can't say this is honestly a surprise, even if I am disappointed. 232 shots faced in 6 games though, gonna be hard pressed to win when you allow that many chances.

Neither option was perfect, both had their innate flaws. However I'll take someone experienced who may not be the most trustworthy over a racist sociopath with no understanding of how government works. As a Canadian all I can hope is that this doesn't affect us as much as I think it will. Unfortunately we're now allied with this idiot so we'll see how things go when he inevitably starts a war.

It is indeed, although I'm sure we probably had it years ago and just didn't know. We've had newfies on the board before. Anyway, thanks for saying my PodCast is better. Not really sure I believe you since it's about 70% me bitching about CoD but hey, I'll take the compliment haha

That's a pretty bold claim with no proof. We've been around over 9 years and have had these team logos for around half that time length a time least.

I BELIEVE @Koradek did the Bears logo but I could be wrong. I also don't think that the Bears logo is a particular copy. It does have some similarities but I would hardly call it copied.

I look out over the Bedford Basin which is off the Halifax Harbour which is off the Atlantic Ocean: Does that count? I'll probably have other thoughts when I finish this but wanted to point that out.

Taking questions for the next episode of the CoDCast. However, as an added bonus, would anyone like to see a live CoDcast tonight? I’m thinking in about half an hour and running it for about 2 hours? Same logic as a normal one, I’ll be olaying CoD, but you guys can come chat and I’ll answer some questions live. @eaglesfan036 @Shaka @ADwyer87 @boom @der meister @Victor @YEAH!stlemania @Phil @tfong @ChrisF @George Costanza @Molholt @Mr. Power @Draper @Banackock @gorlab @JardyB10 @evrydayimbyfuglien @Jericho @DollarAndADream @Kendrick

BO3 is better than AW tbh and you can get the starter edition (only MP and no prestige but still) for $15 on Steam

Well I hope you enjoy! If you wanna get MWR at it’s best though, you may want to wait for it to process to 1080. This standard def shit looks awful.
