DrD Posted August 3, 2000 Share Posted August 3, 2000 I was very thrilled with PCGamer's recent review of CM as both of you who read my previous post are aware. On second look, however, I noticed how crappy the pictures are. In the first one he's using "fast and compatible" smoke. I mean, come on! Can't PCGamer afford a decent video card? The picture on the second page is also kind of pixelated. PCGamer says that they like to take their screenshots from the "average" system. But in a magazine that depend on visual appeal, shouldn't they use the best pics? Therefore I propose that congress pass a new law saying that all screenshots in reviews be made using the best graphics settings. If it's a slideshow on the reviewer's computer, whell, he only needs a still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Madmatt Posted August 3, 2000 Share Posted August 3, 2000 You could just admend that law and state that all screenshots need to be taken by me!

Schrullenhaft Posted August 3, 2000 Share Posted August 3, 2000 An ironic statement from PCGamer... I'm sure they try to get the highest quality shots for an FPS. Double standard if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have any of you ever seen how much shelf space the US Code, the Code of Federal Regulations, and all the court decisions interpreting them take up? If you did, you'd be horrified. Believe me, there are AT LEAST 2 federal laws and/or regulations covering every conceivable aspect of human life. This is on top of all the state laws, state regulations, and state court decisions. Every law passed by definition is a usurpation of individual liberty. We are no longer a free people. We need no more laws. Anybody who proposes a new law, of whatever type, must be shot on sight. You're lucky to get off with being rifle-whipped ------------------ -Bullethead It was a common custom at that time, in the more romantic females, to see their soldier husbands and sweethearts as Greek heroes, instead of the whoremongering, drunken clowns most of them were. However, the Greek heroes were probably no better, so it was not so far off the mark--Flashman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spook Posted August 3, 2000 Share Posted August 3, 2000 It's easy for you to say, Matt, as it isn't your kid anyway but your neighbor's. As to the PCGamer review pics--well, that is typical Trotter.

howardb Posted August 3, 2000 Share Posted August 3, 2000 I Howard Bjerke from the Norwegian office will do my outmost to put diplomatic pressure into this law. The situation as it stands today is not tolerable, I think when I say I got the people of Norway behind me it's not an exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
