he pulls that stuff all the time, especially in gallery topics involving videomaking.
lol no, I've been here for almost around a year if you count my first account

But I get the picture.
IcyGamma has a big ego.

You're an starfish for saying people with diffrent taste in video making have no taste.

People have other opinion, IcyGamma, the world doesn't revolve around you.

Poor arguments start with insults. Making it personal has devalued what you said. But for what its worth, its generally accepted that Windows Movie Maker can not produce decent videos (Live is a touch better, but still identifiably stuff). Using TTS for voices is lazy and sounds fake, to even suggest that its a good alternative suggests that you don't know what you are talking about. Friends with the OP is it? Or are you just spoiling for a fight? Can't think of any other reason you'd post what you are saying.

What do you mean the world revoles around me? I'm posting an informed opinion on something I have been paticularly interested and involved in for the past few years (BL video creation). This has nothing to do with me.

You're an inflammatory poster and you should quit while you're ahead. Or better yet, try explaining yourself without needing to be insulting to make up for a substanceless view.

icy, does the phrase 'let it go' mean anything to you

Sometimes the TTS voices are used for comedic effect. (like in filipe's videos) not sure if thats what op was going for

So I'm expected to lay down and take it. Perhaps the problem with you and this forum is that you focus on the wrong people, when you should be focusing on the source.

I'm one of the few people here that actually posts something considered, that isn't typical online teenage drivel. Would be nice if that attitude to posting wasn't marginalized here, there are very few others who try to post meaningful things anymore.

That comedic effect is small at best, shouldn't be relied on IMO. Failed hard here. I've rarely seen it used right, its a sarcastic voice that to me only seems funny if its used inappropriately or ironically.

if something is 'drivel' in any sense of the term nobody's going to respect the person posting it's opinion anyway

that's no reason to take him out back and shoot him with both metaphorical barrels for having less 'refined tastes' then you

this video was dogstuff and the creator himself may be trying to defend himself by playing the 'i'm poor' card but you tossing labels all over the place as if you have the god-given authority to isn't exactly helping the situation



hell, wound isn't even disagreeing with you. he's just calling you an ass for jumping on him like that

card but you tossing labels all over the place as if you have the god-given authority to isn't exactly helping the situation

Your problem for perceiving it wrongly.

I told Port his view that Windows Movie Maker and TTS is a good thing is tasteless, because it is. Whats next, are you guys going to tell me its in good taste to use a 0.5 megapixel camera to film an hour long movie? Bull stuff.


hell, wound isn't even disagreeing with you. he's just calling you an ass for jumping on him like that

Read again, because he was.

wound said that not all text-to-speech is bad. he didn't say that this video was good, just that not all text-to-speech is bad.

No - I meant that not all text-to-voice is bad.

I personally like this one.

you even agreed with him to some extent, stating that it only works under specific circumstances

That comedic effect is small at best, shouldn't be relied on IMO. Failed hard here. I've rarely seen it used right, its a sarcastic voice that to me only seems funny if its used inappropriately or ironically.

port hasn't actually said anything about preferring text-to-speech but it can be inferred that, since most people- most people probably including port- didn't like this video and port never actually said that he liked it either, that he didn't like it used like this either.

> Microsoft Sam
> Windows Movie Maker

Two ways people forget up their videos. If you disagree you have no taste.

(for further reference i'm going to highlight any labels and 'final statements' that you drop in bold)

you tell the guy to not insult people and pay attention to the argument (and that making it personal in the first place somehow makes what he says less true) and then insult him to cause him to loose credibility within the arguement and make it personal as a device to make your statement somehow more true

nobody's attacking you, you're attacking everyone else. there's no need to and you're loving yourself up anyway



let it go.

Those weren't insults in the slightest. This is another problem with people like you online, you think legitimate comments are always "trolling" or in this case "insults". Maybe you need to check the definition of these words, because you've demonstrated total lack of understanding.

port hasn't actually said anything about preferring text-to-speech

Except directly disagreeing with my attitude to use of Microsoft Sam, literally at the front of the topic.

nobody's attacking you, you're attacking everyone else.

Where am I attacking anyone else?

I'm responding directly to wound calling me an starfish and throwing in more of that ego rubbish.

Your selective one-sided quoting doesn't change that. Maybe you should heed your own advice.

you're disrespecting this guy by implying that he has some explicit reason to defend someone you don't like (as opposed to, you know, his free will) and scorning his credibility by attacking his reasons to be here at all, just to make your opinion more 'right' than his

Except directly disagreeing with my attitude to use of Microsoft Sam, literally at the front of the topic.

he never said anything, actually. he just said that you could get out

Where am I attacking anyone else?

are you kidding

you actually got in a pre-emptive strike to anyone who would even try to disagree with you

> Microsoft Sam
> Windows Movie Maker

I'm responding directly to wound calling me an starfish and throwing in more of that ego rubbish.

it's sort of hard to believe you have a small ego what with the way you go around demeaning everyone who disagrees with you and putting your own opinion on more and more of a higher standard

and, really, it's not like anyone's really disagreeing with you in the first place. most people have more or less the same thoughts on this subject, you're just jumping on everyone you see as a threat. there's no reason to fight people like that.

Again, you are totally taking a side and ignoring the order of how things happened.

he never said anything, actually. he just said that you could get out

Is that meant to be cute?

you actually got in a pre-emptive strike to anyone who would even try to disagree with you

I'm open for people to challenge my views. Not to be offensive jerks. Major difference, its worrying you can't tell between them.

it's sort of hard to believe you have a small ego what with the way you go around demeaning everyone who disagrees with you and putting your own opinion on more and more of a higher standard

Are you kidding me? You are so biased and blind its intolerable. You are making it sound like I'm going around being rude to people, when I was only being strongly opinionated. It wasn't personal, but you and wound made it seem personal. Wound is the only one to be truly offensive here, and you are bluntly ignoring him. You disgust me, stop pretending you have some ethical stance here.

and, really, it's not like anyone's really disagreeing with you in the first place.

You are so twisted and wrong its not even funny.

Poor arguments start with insults.
This was an insult itself you big loving hypocrite.
stop pretending you have some ethical stance here.
How about you do first and then you might actually be taken seriously.

And what is insulting about it? Using insults is a poor argument. It is not necessary, and he used it.

How can you tell me stating a clear fact is an insult? You are being so downright ridiculous right now. And again, thanks for being rude and throwing in more offense.

Childish.

what defines a "good" argument is subjective

state facts better

(and, guys, this still isn't dropping it.)

Childish.
Oh boy, that's alot coming from you, drama queen.
