Games » TF2 Server

I will likely be playing TF2 tonight, because I played yesterday and was so out of practice it was shameful. I'll jump in the tested server at 8:30PST to see if anyone is around, otherwise I will be elsewhere - my steam name is Tested|AHR

General Discussion » Will's "Rad Stuff made by our community" feature/list.

I absolutely love all of the Three Wolf WANG parodies. I made an album of them on the Tested Facebook with credits for each artist:

Also, here's a pretty neat alternate version of the Tested info graphic:

And has no one posted this?!

Cameras » Slowly, I am starting to figure out my camera. [Video]

love that depth of field. are you using a macro focus settings on those twig and blades of grass shots, or is this all auto-focus?

General Discussion » OLYMPIANS! Art Part 2, Boogaloo.

i just got a call from lane on the batphone saying you guys needed an emergency celebrity judge to judge this thing.  since there were none around, i did it myself:


THe RUNNERS UP:

 


These both made me lol.  They also feature the same punchilne, which I wasn't expecting either time.  Do runners-up get anything?  Lane didn't mention it, so I'm going to say no.


LE GRANDE PRIZE


It's a little unfair for someone to enter an MS paint with something this conventionally well done, but the script is really funny and those designs for Will and Norm are unique and really cool.


Even thought it means I'm giving points to hated Team Bacon, congrats Conmused!

Coffee » I have never had a coffee before.

The NYC standard preparation is milk two sugar - that makes it taste the least like dirt, in my uncultured opinion.

General Discussion » What do the Whiskey Media staff use for editing video?

Mac OS X 10.6.7. Not quite sure if us editors will switch to Lion any time soon. Joey's machine has 6GB of memory.

We both use Final Cut Pro 7. Pro 4 Lyfe!

General Discussion » How about you come join me for some Turntable?

heading into tested room now, will be DJing and in the crowd at various times throughout the day. also, if tested lounge: serve chilled is ever empty, you'll be able to find plenty of other whiskey rooms open at most hours of the day.

General Discussion » Should I join facebook?

I don't use my personal facebook account much anymore (thought I used Tested_AHR for work all the time), because most of my friends no longer live near me, and I find most people's status updates kind of annoying and self-aggrandizing.

However: Facebook is really great for finding out about parties and events. It's a lot easier than evite to invite a bunch of people and get RSVPs.

If you're starting a new one, I'd say only friend people you actually like and want to hang out with. Otherwise it gets unbearably cluttered.

General Discussion » Favorite Space Ship

Here are the first two that came to my head that were't too obvious...

A-WING! I always loved A-Wing levels in Star Wars games. Built for speed. I can vividly imagine the feeling of jumping into the pilot's seat, switching the shield deflectors to full forward, and going zooming around a planet just for lolz.

Fholston Paradiiiiiiise! A cruise-liner that is also a spaceship, featuring a full scale opera hall. I love really artificial environments like Las Vegas and Disney World, and this sees like the ultimate in manufactured experiences.

General Discussion » What does you desk and entertainment setup look like?

@Portis said:

Why no chair? You got something against sitting? Did they take it because you thought Takers "was fine"?

Fellow Whiskey Media video producer Joey F. and I decided chairs were for chumps, see explantions and pics on this thread:

http://www.tested.com/forums/general-discussion/2/standing-workstation/8488/#18

Also I defy anyone to tell me Takers was less entertaining than Transformers, Pirates 4, or any of the other huge action movies that make hundreds of millions of dollars and people just accept as bad and roll their eyes at, as opposed to saying "OMG THIS IS SO BAD HOW CAN THIS BE NUMBER ONE??" The fight and chase scenes in Takers were well staged, that's the most you can ask for in mainstream action these days.
