What Men Want

[AssaultRifle]

With a little help from the Hot Chick Thread and my own sources, I came up with this:

[Shataniska]

Thank you forever ;)

[AssaultRifle]

Your welcome.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Some men, I suppose.

EDIT: Yeah, I had to post here.

[SalsatheGeek]

Metacafe...

Never heard of it. Video is pretty good, so congrats for that.

[AssaultRifle]

Metacafe > YouTube

[SalsatheGeek]

Metacafe > YouTube

Because it's more open to things Youtube isn't open to?

[Spectral]

Some men, I suppose.

EDIT: Yeah, I had to post here.

Is it wrong that I giggled at that?

[SalsatheGeek]

Is it wrong that I giggled at that?

No, but it would be wrong if you took that logically and got aroused by it...

[Drifterxkringo]

... Unless you're a gay non-alcoholic, but otherwise, you hit the nail on the head.

[Karl]

A slide show does not a video make.

Interesting, but undeserving of my attention. Sorry, Dom.

[What do you want from me?]

Nothing there interested me, and I am not gay (I think) but don't like beer.

[Spectral]

Men want leather gloves with faux fur cuffs, personalized necklaces, baskets of flowers, hugs and kisses, Spa Gift Certificates, Kiva scarfs, fragances and perfume, leather panties, snakeskinned stockings, and sterling silver watches with assorted stone flowers etched in. These are the things us men want... not atrocious and heinous photographs of naked women. Disgusting!!!

[DarkReality]

Nothing arouses me like rapidly changing images of near-naked women I can't enjoy because they change too quickly.

[AssaultRifle]

It isn't all that hard to press the 'pause' button, you know.

[DarkReality]

It also isn't too hard to slow down the slide show. YOU made it, YOU take the responsibility for criticism on it.

[Screech]

How steryotipical.

[AssaultRifle]

It also isn't too hard to slow down the slide show. YOU made it, YOU take the responsibility for criticism on it.
I'm just about sick of you giving me negativity all the time around here. I don't think there has been a time in the past year and a half that you have said one nice word to me.

Regardless, the reason it was so fast was because the file needed to be under 100MB. To maintain the high-quality of the images, I didn't want to lower the resolution past 600x400 (If I did, Metacafe would stretch it to fit it's own resolutions, causing it to lose quality and pixelate). The final product came out to 97MB, so that is what I stayed with. It was either that or nothing at all.


@Screech: You know you like it too.

[Woolfenstien]

I'm just about sick of you giving me negativity all the time around here. I don't think there has been a time in the past year and a half that you have said one nice word to me.You made a very matter-of-factly response.

Anyone would be pissed off if you said that to them.

But still, all those images @ 100MB? What POS codec are you using?

in b4 WMV lol

[AssaultRifle]

You made a very matter-of-factly response.

Anyone would be pissed off if you said that to them.

And? Am I suppose to be nice or something to RdD? I've done my time of trying to be nice, everything is still the same.

But still, all those images @ 100MB? What POS codec are you using?Exported as .mov. It keeps the images at their highest quality from what I saw exporting it in several different codecs.

[denacioust]

I almost had a boner there.

But to be honest, it didn't turn me on. I'm on RdD's side...if a few semi-nude women flashing on screen not long enough to absorb any detail is your thing then watch away.

Smart though. It's like free advertising for your site.

[DarkReality]

I'm just about sick of you giving me negativity all the time around here. I don't think there has been a time in the past year and a half that you have said one nice word to me.

Go weep your soul out, emo boy. You want to be my friend or something? I gave you honest criticism. You failed to explain it and instead told me to press the paue button. Had you told me the first time that the file had to be smaller than 100mb (which is painfully large for such a small video, to be honest, wouldn't a slideshow in flash have been smaller?), then I might just have laughed at you for having such a small host :-)

[AssaultRifle]

Emo boy? Pfft.

Do I want to be your friend? I want to be everyone's friend. It's what we are all here for, or at least what I am here for, to meet new people. To exchange ideas.

I don't come around here to get #### on at every turn. It's like I have to watch everything I say on XGen because God forbid I speak my mind. It seems like every time I do there is someone there trying to bring me down.

Thats the thing about XGen, everyone treats everyone around here like garbage unless you are a *gasp* Elite. If you aren't, your opinions and works mean absolute ####. Every other place I go to at least treats me with some form of respect.

There is a difference between criticism and blatant sarcasm. You can give criticism without being a dick, you know.

[Woolfenstien]

RDD would have said exactly the same if he were not an Elite.

The whole "ur olny sayin dat b/c ur an el1te" arguement is flawed.

Still, no flame war, or you're both gettin' banned.

[c00lryguy]

*makes some popcorn*

Oooh yeah, this fights gonna be juicy.
All other fight watchers: come sit on the flame sofa with me.


WHO WILL WIN! DOM OR...crusty? is that crusty?..or darcreality?

EITHER WAY THIS IS THE SPECTATION OF COMPLEMATION!
THE ERATICAL, MOMENTUS AND APOCOLYPTIOUS!
AND I MISSPELLED EVERYONE OF THOSE LONG WORDS!


edit: also, Dom, why do you think I left the elites in the first place? I only came back cause Jibby wanted me to. He's in boot camp right now, btw.

[AssaultRifle]

I didn't say he would say something different if he was not an Elite, I said other people would see his opinions differently if he was not. It's all one big popularity contest.

[denacioust]

Dom, go back and read through the replies which started this argument.


Now, tell me who was in the wrong.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Hugs would solve everyon'e problems.
...
Well, they wouldn't, but I like hugs.


By the way, it's just a stupid video, no need to get all #####y about it.

[Jared]

*makes some popcorn*
This is gonna be fun to watch.

[ehntoo]

Okay, then.

Stick with photography and other photoshop stuff. I don't think you've got much of a career in movie production. No offense.

[DarkReality]

You want to bring this to a personal level and insult me because I'm an elite? You think THAT'S the reason everyone sees my opinions? Are you honestly going to insult everyone here by claiming they're so fickle as to only look at a stupid group membership? No onein the "Elites" thinks they're any better just because they're an "elite". That kind of attitude is not wanted around a forum. Around ANY forum. The idea that you're superior because you've got some extra entry in your forum database table entry is ridiculous. We may joke about it, but we do so because we know it brings people like you up the wall.

Way to accept criticism.

By the way, there'll be no flame war. I honestly don't feel the need to insult someone because they misunderstood my criticism. And I'm quite sure that once Dom gets off the childish trip he's on, he doesn't have the intention to start one either. This isn't a ####ing territory war and there's nothing to be proven.

And in conclusion... (http://bigwhoopwannafightaboutit.ytmnd.com/)

*Grabs popcorn.*

Let's GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLEEEEE!

[denacioust]

How many time is popcorn gonna be made followed by some random crap about there being a fight?

[DarkReality]

About proportional to the amount of people who attempt to jump on the bandwagon just to have said something :-)

[AssaultRifle]

But most of you act all high and holy to everyone else, and you can't even deny that one. I'm not insulting everyone here, or even trying to take personal shots at you. The only personal level I went on with you was saying that you have never really been a positive person to me. Sarcasm does not equal critisism as much as you want to think that it does.

As for not wanting an attitude of superiority, I won't even being to brush upon that. There are so many power trips around here it may as well be the Bush administration.


Way to accept criticism.
I accepted it, and told you why the video was the way it was. The only reason I was pissed off at you and not everyone elses comments was because at least the other people, like n2 and denacious, had the common courtasy of not coming off like a jerkoff about it and telling me strait out what they liked and disliked. Most of my lashing out to you has been a buildup upon your overall attitude towards me throughout my history around here.

And I'm quite sure that once Dom gets off the childish trip he's on, he doesn't have the intention to start one either. This isn't a ####ing territory war and there's nothing to be proven.
This isn't a flame war. We aren't calling eachother childish names or going off on rants with no boundries. I'm not on a childish trip, and I'm not trying to start some kind of flame battle with you.

My main point is just:

If you are going to give critisism and think you are being constructive, sarcasm is not the way to go.

[zakob]

I don't know if it's been said, but you should make it into an actual slideshow so we can choose next and previous and stuff.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Can we all agree that the video sucks and move on with our sad, internet lives?

[Kravers]

Well, it doesn't suck, but it doesn't rock my socks either.

[ehntoo]

Most of my lashing out to you has been a buildup upon your overall attitude towards me throughout my history around here.

Don't hurt me, but your history here isn't exactly lustrous, or even a pretty thing to behold.

[AssaultRifle]

Don't hurt me, but your history here isn't exactly lustrous, or even a pretty thing to behold.
Okay, so the one or two months that I was a complete tard should taint the person I am now?

I know you of all people know how far I have come from the DG.com days.

[DarkReality]

If you are going to give critisism and think you are being constructive, sarcasm is not the way to go.I will criticise how I want. And if you can't handle it, then get the #### off. This is the internet, not a kindergarten. I certainly don't need some arrogant would-be telling me to not be sarcastic because he can't stand me not kissing his ass. I don't like you and I won't pretend I do. I certainly won't be friendly to you for no reason, and if you plan on insulting me, then I wouldn't expect any friendly comments. You post a bad video, I will make sure you know it's terrible. You're not my friend and I feel no need to spare your feelings.

But for the love of god, quit being a damned drama queen about it. I made a sarcastic comment. You're acting as if this video was your life's work.

[Karl]

How much effort can you say you honestly put into this Dom? It just doesn't seem like you worked hard enough on it to offend you so much if someone criticizes it.

[AssaultRifle]

I could go on a long ass rant about why I've tried to be nice and all - but what is the point. Nothing is going to change around here just because of me anyway.

@Naborr:
It didn't take all that much. It is just my overall attitude toward RdD that made me snap at him.

[Jared]

All the video does is show a bunch of chicks.
You all are acting like internet's is serious business.
That being said the video was so/so. Nothing really special, and the pictures flow by way too fast to get view of any one of them unless you paused it.

Now, you see, this is a person who I have had a few arguments with recently but in light of that he simply puts it the way it is so I can build off of it for my next little voyage into the video world. This is what I mean by constructive critisism.

Thanks, Jared, I'll remember that when I do another video like this.

[DarkReality]

It didn't take all that much. It is just my overall attitude toward RdD that made me snap at him.

Wait wait wait... I'M supposed to be nice to you and not be sarcastic, but you, on the other hand, have every right to snap at me because of an apparently negative attitude towards me? And the logic in that is...?

This is utterly ridiculous. And you wonder why I don't like you? You're STILL pompous as all hell, you still act as if the forum revolves around you and you can't stand people who don't like you. A long rant about why you tried to be nice? What the hell? Whoooo caaaaares?

Quit taking things I say so seriously if you don't like me and get the #### on with it.

That being said, good night. It's midnight here.

[Jared]

I think somebody needs a hug!

[MushroomMammoth]

To put it straight.

Crusty -
That was heavy sarcasm on your behalf, so I understand why Dom would be pissed off.

Dom -
You're sarcastic to many people in the advice thread, so don't snap and go crazy.

That is all, now handshake, boys.

[denacioust]

First of all it's RdD not Crusty.

And secondly, RdD did give constructive criticism. He may have been a little sarcastic but nothing that warranted the abuse he's getting here.

[AssaultRifle]

Wait wait wait... I'M supposed to be nice to you and not be sarcastic, but you, on the other hand, have every right to snap at me because of an apparently negative attitude towards me? And the logic in that is...?
I have a negative attitude towards you because of your apparent dislike towards me. I have kept my mouth shut for a long time now about it.


This is utterly ridiculous. And you wonder why I don't like you? You're STILL pompous as all hell, you still act as if the forum revolves around you and you can't stand people who don't like you. A long rant about why you tried to be nice? What the hell? Whoooo caaaaares?
What is utterly ridiculous is you calling me pompous and saying that I think the forum revolves around me. I understand people don't like me - big ####ing deal - but it is people like you that I just can't stand. You are the guy that always has something to say about everyone elses issues but then try and brush it off like it is no big deal. The video means nothing to me, but your sarcasic attitude and dislike towards me that holds no ground means a lot.


Quit taking things I say so seriously if you don't like me and get the #### on with it.

That being said, good night. It's midnight here.
Sweat dreams.


@Den: Abuse? This isn't abuse.

[denacioust]

Yeah, I know. I couldn't think of a better word. But whatever he's getting.

[RocketSoldier]

http://blog.dreamhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/serious.jpg

I'm sorry, someone had to do it.

[MushroomMammoth]

And secondly, RdD did give constructive criticism. He may have been a little sarcastic but nothing that warranted the abuse he's getting here.

Now I'm confused again... Oh, wait! Now I remember! My bad, the heart guy is Crusty. Sorry much, RdD.

[Spectral]

I thought the internet had heart loving, affectionate people who only wish to help others and make the internet a warm and loving place for all persons everywhere.

[Arca]

Dom, you .... ROCK!!!

[DarkReality]

I'm sorry, someone had to do it.

And apart from Dom, we all share that opinion.

But screw this. Someone's going to have to stop this nonsense, so I will. I'm honestly not sorry that my sarcasm got to you that badly. Don't expect me to stop or change. Live with it. That's all there really ever was to say about this entire ordeal. Good day.

I suggest someone locks/deletes this thread and Dom reposts his video and I shall refrain from commenting on it again.

[c00lryguy]

Jesus, Dom. Let. It. Go.


You girls are gettin your panties in a bunch over a short video.

@Dom: Free speech. I, or anyone else here, has the right to speak their opinion. If someone says to me in real life, "Hey, you smell like ####, take a shower", I say nothing but, "thanks man, I really needed to know if I needed a shower, thanks for not letting me sit around in my own filth all day *takes a shower*"

That could have easily led to me saying "What?! #### you! You have NO right to tell me I stick. You offended me and I'm suing."

But I wouldnt, cause it makes you look life a child.

Guess who looks like a child here, Dom? I can tell you one thing, it's not RDD.

When someone gives you criticism, you should accept it and build off it, make your work better and maybe even get some respect as an artist.

@RDD: I know you don't give a crap, but come on. At a certain point you're just instigating. Just be the better man n walk away so people like me don't have to come in and make really long posts.

[AssaultRifle]

Whatever, I'll leave it be. It's no use beating the dead horse now.

The funny thing is, you all still think that this was /all/ about the video. I don't give a crap about the video as much as I did the attitude.

[DarkReality]

Cry me a river -_-

At a certain point you're just instigating. Just be the better man n walk away so people like me don't have to come in and make really long posts.

*makes some popcorn*

And here I was, under the impression you're enjoying this :-p

[AssaultRifle]

I will cry you a river, and I will enjoy it.

I was enjoying it, but the posts got too long and annoying.
