Thanks for the mention man, I wasn't really expecting it. Nice to see that my work isn't going unnoticed.

We'll total we had more PIM but just because Glass is crazy haha. GG

Good way to start the season, well done boys. GG Bears.

Man, it's always rough being a goalie in the ASG haha

This. If a $200 pair of headphones with a mic can't use the mic than I'd be amazed. Chances are it either needs some drivers or isn't set up as a recording device. Then again, most audio ports on computers are designed for output only (with a different port for input) so its possible that the (I assume) inline mic is only really designed for things like phones that use one port for input and output.

Well I don't know if the DNA's are somehow massively more amazing than beats I wouldn't expect them to be worth that price. In my sound design class last year someone did one of their projects on a blind headphones test between a set of Bose ($300), Sony ($50), Logitech ($30) and Beats ($200). They were blindfolded and given each set of headphones with the same song and section of movie played on each. In over 90% of the test subjects the Bose were unanimously first in quality, with the Sony's tying the Beats for second and the Logitech coming last. So idk, maybe some people just have more sensitive ears but I saw the results of 20 different people that showed Beats (at $150 more) were no better than the Sony cans. If you're really an audiofile, buy Bose. Otherwise, don't waste money on Monster. I guess that's just my opinion though.

Would have to be a pretty big discount because the $300 beats sound exactly the same as a $30-$50 pair of Sony headphones. Monster is known for overpricing everything from HDMI cables ($50 for a cable, really) to headphones and everything I'm between. They charge what they can get away with because uninformed people buy them but that doesn't make the quality higher.

Step 1: Return those headphones and any other massively overpriced Monster products you have. Step 2: Buy a decent set of Sony or Logitech headphones / Mic for a quarter of the price and get the same if not better quality. Step 3: Download Audacity and record.

I went for a bit more of a blurry style than Janssen (its me, is anyone surprised?) but same sorta idea. Janssen, I did take your main text because it looked awesome. I also took your 28.jpg stock which you should upload because it was sweet. Other than that though I added no stocks Kesler so the main message I guess is to just keep working at things. This only had maybe 10 layers which is rarely enough. I sorta deem this a collab with both of the above BTW. Kesler’s main sig but a lot of elements of the style Janssen went for.

Wanna upload the PSD? I have some ideas for this.

Probably lost out on 2 or 3 from being gone this past weekend but oh well, I'll still take 16 (total) TPE for free haha

I meant move the text to the other side of the render but that's still better than it was.

How did you go from that B&W monstrosity to this? I'm confused... In any case try moving the text from V2 over to the render's other shoulder. The dark spot where it is hides the text a bit too much. The lighting is also washing out the render's head which isn't really the main goal of lighting. On the plus side though the colours and stock work are actually quite well done.

Ouch, probably my worst prediction year in awhile. Oh well, it happens I guess.

I never banked once with Beketov and he's in the HoF with a trophy named after him. It is doable without banking any, it just takes a lot more work.

Claim 4

You get all three plus an extra one of your choice. The doubles week gets you the most for your (literal) buck though so most would choose to go with that.

As much as I'd love to pull the bias vote, Tukio (fun fact my phone wants to autocorrect that to Tulip) is really the obvious choice for getting the start.

That's all Mike? Cologne's S35 is up to 29 right now

Color and Hue are effectively the same thing when working with a B&W stock. You mind taking that off and letting me see what it looks like with some color? As it stands I can't really say what needs to be improved since everything is just sorta washed out.

What did you set it to, hue? You lose ALL control of how B&W looks if you let a stock dictate it.

Fun Fact number 1: B&W sigs don't contain strange red streaks that are clearly colored. Fun Fact number 2: It's best to master the use of lighting before trying B&W. Ever notice how old B&W films still have good contrast between light and dark? Its because they became masters of lighting scenes to look a certain way when the color was removed. GFX is no different. If something is lit poorly and then turned B&W it ends up as a washed out mess with no contrast or lighting to speak of. This is a case like that. I'm curious, if possible, could you remove the B&W and see what color looks like? Or did you actually desat everything instead of just applying a gradient map or B&W adjustment layer?

Wish I would have bought one during the 'Nucks and Bruins cup series, predicted the winner and score plus the underdog team to win. Could have made a killing off that ticket. But alas, I didn't buy one and still haven't.

Oh how I wish I could forget Bern
