That's a lot more work I would think haha is it possible to have your banner just fade off into the same BG colour as the forum has? Then you can re-size as needed without having to re-design anything.

Claimed:Real Talk With ADwyer #7 [Reviewed]

Review: Because why the fuck not Your musical taste is very annoying; I usually skip the intro songs because of it. Also, your voice is like mad low dude, get closer to the microphone. Regular PT's suck; podcasts are where it's at. Lol, homework. Sucks to be you. Was it bullshit though, or was it ant shit? I suppose they could have been bull ants. There's an app for everything! Internal microphone is mediocre quality but I can't record my CoDcasts laying down so you have me there. Da fuq is that squeaking sound? Yeah, I hate when people ask me stuff that would take longer to look up than the entire podcast lasts. Most people seem pretty good though. I feel like everyone kinda zones in on their own player but no one likes to admit it. They all went to Cologne? Why did no one tell me this I feel like he was interested but everyone else went elsewhere so he followed. Responding to a message mid-podcast? Fail. Seriously, squeaking! Are mice humping under your bed? I feel like Toronto is going to be tougher than you give them credit for. Or did you record this before Clegane signed? #FuckNY #FuckCGY You need to learn how to drink. Good vodka is wasted on shots and shitty vodka burns like fuck for shots. Vodka is mostly used to make random things alcoholic since you can't taste it. Oh yeah, Americans can't drink at 19; sucks to be you. You'll learn eventually that good alcohol is worth the money. When you do you won't be able to touch cheap stuff again. Whiskey is delicious; especially scotch. Put it on ice and enjoy the smokey amazingness. Plus drinking scotch will impress people. Whiskey and Ginger Ale is also good if you aren't badass enough. Rum and Coke is always a classic. Put a splash of lime juice in it if you want it to really pop. Is there an annoying amount of review lines? I feel like I must at least be at that point. VHL Wrestling was legit, I get that it probably took a lot of time though. That is a hilarious description; well done. Bold predictions. You heard it here first folks, Dwyer will get at least 1 cup. VHLM talk? I didn't sign up for this shit Building a dynasty in the VHLM is near impossible. Any top players you get are usually gone after a year. At least you have founder's cups as a player. GMing down there is rough though. I've gone through the VHLM like 6 or 7 times and have never won it, no idea how. I was in the finals a few times but only had 1 season for most of my players so not a lot of chances. Long, awkward pauses are better with CoD in the BG No, fuck your TPE, I must stay ahead of you. "You Shall not Pass!" I believe you're much more behind me now. To be fair I did start with some carryover. I'm pretty sure your reason for hating 35 is totally irrational. Did you win? I don't remember. I just know I did. This is why I don't review podcasts, this was way more typing than 2 GFX and it's worth the same amount haha. -
From a personal standpoint I'll take a few losses if every win means a shutout haha. 2/2 so far.

I could, although I'll need to go back and re-listen to the first 12 minutes to make notes on it haha -

I want to finish this later but don't have time right now so I'm using this post as a bookmark of sorts, I'm 12:37 in right now. -
I represent 1/4 of Russians in the Hall, I'll take it!

This whole sig looks very washed out and under-exposed. Play around with exposure and curves layers to really make some stuff pop. As mentioned the BG is a little dull and overall everything feels very dreary. Text is a decent idea but needs to be more of a focal point then it is and I'd like to see some of the blue elements from it throughout the piece so they don't feel as random.
-
The colours are really all over the place on this one. To be truly honest it kinda looks like someone dropped it in a toilet it's so yellow. Text also stands out way too much; especially in pure white. It seems as if it was added as an afterthought. Balance out your colour palate and work with some blending techniques.
-
Text on this is an absolute work of art and I love the little splashes of colour that go along, style wise, with it. Render effects are great and lighting is spot on. I would like to see it maybe without the "torn edges" as they are giving it kinda a blurry look at the edge that I could do without but that's a minor complaint. Great piece.
-
The render effects are really nice here and the soft blue lighting is subtle and well done. I love the look of the subtext but unfortunately the main text just doesn't work for me. It's so thin that it's kinda hard to see / read and just doesn't really work well with this piece. I would also like to see a bit more detail in the BG; feels kinda bland as-is.
-
The B&W with a splash of colour really works well here, makes the text and face really pop. Lighting is nice and exposure is spot on ; text is simple but effective. My main complaint is the duplicate on the left side. The straight cut line feels awkward and the waviness just doesn't feel quite right.
-
The big text works really well here actually, don't be afraid of it. Like 701 said the scan lines are way over-doing it. Use them to highlight things slightly on occasion or give certain areas a look but don't cover the whole piece in them or it will be very hard to see what else is going on. Render could use stronger lighting in order to make it pop through the scan lines and against the large text a bit more.
-
Render looks very LQ and the stocks messing with the contrast of the sig aren't really doing it any favours. I don't tend to like fancy kinda fonts like this but it does give it an interesting look; just trying doing more with your text than slapping it in the corner and calling it a day. Lighting and blending are your friends, learn how to use them and you will improve dramatically.
-
The line the render creates is kinda fun, I feel like you should have tried to work with that a little bit more instead of ignoring it. Lighting and blending are near non-existent and the text (both effect wise and font wise) could definitely use some work.

3-2 SEA

I feel like weeks I don't have a lot of questions I could just go through and respond to your last review haha The changes to the episodes are done but they aren't exported yet. That process takes about 20 minutes per episode. After that I need to do a 15 minute QC (Quality Control) which basically checks that everything is where it's supposed to be (colour bars, slate, breaks, etc). After that I need to watch the episode in full to make sure that there were no glitches with the export. So that's 45 minutes for this show. Repeat those steps 12 times for each episode and it should become clear why I need to work the weekend. Oh, also, the files are over 75GB each so the earlier we can get them uploading the better because it'll take awhile. Nah, I mute everyone so I can't hear them and that mutes me on their end. If somehow it didn't then my the fact that my Astro mic is muted would finish the job. Unless of course you mean people actually near me, in which case...maybe. I record them alone but sometimes the window is open so people on the street might think I'm crazy. It's probably not actually but it usually feels that way. Chances are it's just that we run a similar route so we run into each other more than usual. Just becomes more obvious when he kills me more than I kill him. Chances are there are people on the other team that are raging at me. Random Number Generator. Basically anything in a game that's random (in CoD it's supply drops, CS:GO has cases, etc) It's not a matter of being unable to do it by myself (although it takes way longer) it's that if my team hasn't pushed up for map control I'm going to get destroyed on the point before I can cap it. To be fair I have CoD as a distraction. If I was straight answering questions without all the random pauses and raging they'd be half as long at best. Always blame something else, it's rule #1 of online gaming. Some of those deaths did feel like connection though. Yup, 10 years of that :P. I'm not sure why it's called that actually, but there is early immersion (what I did, that starts in grade 1 and all your courses but english are in french) or late immersion which is basically people who took all their courses in English except 1 french course and they dart it later (grade 3 I think?) We made fun of late immersion people because in grade 9 they learn simple shit we learned in grade 3.

Unfortunately not going to have time to post after the processing is done so you guys will have to wait a little bit for this one.
-
Maybe I should put some points in Penalty Shot at some point...
-
First W and first shutout; I'll take it.
-
Assuming I'm not going to be stuck at work forever I will record this tonight so leave me some more questions people!
-
So like, can we actually claim for this?
-

Wow, can't say I expected to win gold, even if I mostly sat on the bench for it. Still though, feels great to do it. You guys have have a great tournament Europe, you fought hard and it was a close game. Congrats on the silver.

Even with a second player I can't avoid the shadow of Higgins. Oh well, still exciting haha
