beats are likely the worst thing to happen to any industry ever

beats is actually a wonderfully genius marketing thing. it amazes me that up until that point no one had thought of slapping a musician's name on a device made for listening to music with a few tweeks to the dynamic range and made them "fashionable" and available everywhere at a premium price. i see people wearing beats poo poo everywhere in the city now and it's loving remarkable.

they pretty much invented a casual style for wearing huge loving over the ear headphones in public, that's loving genius and a brilliant move for monster cable

most people are dumb as hell and dont even think to google anything before buying it. you literally just have to google "are beats any good" to figure that poo poo out and yet people will defend beats as being the best money can buy

i got some cx300's which are p good $30 earbudz and b/c sennheiser isnt a common household name people assume they are cheap lovely crap you buy at aldi

my dad bought some 10" mini tv/vhs combo from aldi for like $30 and it was barely capable of displaying video and nothing else. no options or menus. if you held down channel it scanned channels and that was it.

surprisingly a lot of their generic brand stuff is better than a lot of name brand stuff and is a lot cheaper(ice cream, cereal), but some of it (bread) is truly godawful

some promising new video game kickstarters!


* Angry Naughty Nerds iPhone app looking for a $30,000 investment to finish a highly original new game from a guy who describes himself as "An innovative, effective, well-rounded senior executive with strong leadership skills. An accomplished manager for over 25 years in quick growing start up environments."




* this project, entitled Record audio of a car via dyno for use in racing games was actually funded successfully. near as i can tell he got paid $1600 from the internet so he can go to a garage and record his car making cool vrooom vrooom noises because somehow this will let him break into the video game industry? idk wtf but $100 pledges at least got a DVD of the sound files..



* this one is legitimately cool, someone is making a game based on my posting and i encourage you all to donate at the $100 level:





* Finally a video game project with some true autistic merit entitled, NES Characters Made out of NES Carts.

the investment pitch is brief so for your convenience i will reproduce it here, in full:

quote:

I want to make as many Characters from the NES that I can out of old NES Carts.. Each cart will represent one Pixel in the full Sprite.. Each cart will be painted to match each pixel then placed on a back ground made of wood which will also be painted... I want to also make one to send to nintendo to be on display...
he's looking to raise $10,000.

still better than the top-of-the-line beats, along with pretty much every other decent headphone under $100

I think beats look ridiculous but i once tried out the 400$ top of the line model for a day and they sounded p good i thought

But not 400$ good, but i still doubt 50$ headphones sound better

you can get akg k240s on ebay for a little more than that nowadays. you would have to be literally retarded to pick the beats over 240s.
