. . . is very visual and quick to demonstrate.

Yeah, you've definitely got a point there.

Probably the reason why I have a different working idea of art is because I mainly do game for xbox live, where production is much shorter than AAA titles. 

QTE is a game design ego thing and a marketing tool. Visually striking parts of the game that are extremely complicated to realize within the design frame the game has previously established with the player, but someone can't stand to kill their baby. Enter; MR. QTE.

Also, it lets marketing put together a trailer of "gameplay" that looks completely fucking bad ass without any of those annoying consumers actually having to do anything meaningful with the product.

Some game people should just get into movies or machinima.

First Post. 

it depresses me that i recognize the things mentioned in 15579 as stuff from WoW. 

I just realised that in real life, I still write capital Qs as Quake Qs. Started doing this a decaded ago and it's totally ingrained now. Hurrah! 

and seeing this really attractive chick drawing her 'E's like back to front '3's. I've been doing that ever since...

Hmmm....... 

As pi 

Q.... T.... E..... (!#@*) 

I really hope that I am not the only one who thinks of Travail everytime the letters "qte" are mentioned. 

i draw a cock. EVERY TIME. 

I don't have that language pack installed. 

....but it;s still how I always interpret Starbuck's posts. 

I'm gay for you too. 

I'm a bit late, but I haven't had the chance to do more than just quickly browse posts for a few days; I finally did more than skim your response to Lunaran, and found myself getting a little irked about it.

Just a few opinions to offer:

1. People who tend to Take Great Umbrage (as you do) about stuff relative strangers post on the internet generally have a tough time of it on the internet. Sorry about that. <--Not sarcasm.

2. While Lun can be a sarcastic bastard at times, and tends to be argumentative and have strong opinions, I find that those qualities often go along with intelligence and passion, of which he also has healthy portions. "Poison to the community" (wow! drama++) is about the last thing he is; he's been here far longer than you and contributed a hell of a lot more.

3. I don't know about Lunaran, but for my part I'll respond to your posts in any fashion I damn well please, unless moderators have something to say about it. "Don't talk to me ever-ever-again and I won't talk to you, ever-ever-again." is operating on the level of about a 5-year-old, and it's not really how this shit works.

Just sayin'. 

Does anyone know of a freeware program that can convert .flac files to either wav/mp3? 

http://flac.sourceforge.net/
flac -d *.flac gets you .wav.
http://lame.sourceforge.net/
lame -V 0 --vbr-new gets you .mp3. (Use -V 2 if you are not some who can hear flies fart.)

Or just use Foobar, it's got some conversion tool on rightclick (you will still need FLAC and LAME installed). 

Isn't it nice that FLAC is a free and open format? That way you are guaranteed there is a free software to use it.

*whispers something about Ogg Vorbis* 

Appreciate that mate! 

epic lol, I've been using foobar for years and never knew you could convert files with it, big slap on the forehead for me :) 

wtf is foobar? 

Too early to think of a decent acronym.
