@xcdjy: I never said I wasn't a hipster kid. I know that, in a way, I am one, because I love bashing other hipster kids. Not at all important though. And it doesn't change the fact that those people could also be hipster kids. Also, in a way, I AM better than the majority of people.

@ojsinnerz: I read it, but I still believe they're hipster kids.

@jalaneme: Well, as ojsinnerz already said, the only valid argument is the storage space, although my point was that with expandable memory, you can have as much as you like, whereas with iPods, you're stuck with what you have (which is already quite a bit of memory, but you can never have enough).

@.Radiant: That small increase in quality between 320 kbps MP3's and lossless audio formats is what I love. And I can hear it just fine. There are always some artifacts in the music with lossy formats, and I can hear them. Thus, I prefer lossless, even on a portable player. And, I mostly use my Fuze when I'm doing nothing, like sitting in the bus, which allows me to fully concentrate on the music and notice all details. Of course, I listen to music when I'm walking in the streets, too, and I know I won't be able to hear the details at all, but I just keep the lossless files on there for whenever I can actually use them to their fullest (or at least, almost).

I mentioned it because they ARE hipster kids. And the connotation of your post was that me being a hipster kid was actually important, though it seems you didn't notice that.

Also, the one being arrogant here is actually you, with those obnoxious eyeroll smilies. Though it seems you didn't notice that either.

And now, to truly be arrogant: I'm smarter than you.

Without smiley.

Lets drop this here. This is beyond silly.


Also, Ellie, do a blindtest and a few other tests. It's almost impossible for a person to actually tell the difference between a lossy and a lossless on a portable device. It's usually the brain tricking your ears, making it believe that it sounds better, because yourself already knows that it's of better quality. Hell, even with a top tier headphone, I still can't hear a difference between lossy and lossless.

But with a blindtest, you should be able to get an unbiased result. And make sure the audio files are ripped with LAME MP3 encoder at V0 setting. AAC is fine too.

EDIT: Oh, and what equipment do you use? Just PM me, because I don't want to take this any farther than this post.

Guild, thanks for the review. Please know that any time Apple is mentioned the snooty will come out to play, on both sides, and they are very very silly.

kuh-lowzed.

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
