I'm going to say this, and no one's going to listen. This thread is about people who think or act like they're tech savvy, and fail miserably. This could be smug kids saying their macbook could run Crysis on decent settings to garner attention, teachers at school spouting out things that make no sense and trying to get away with the "I'm the teacher, I'm right" excuse, or the usual haberdashery and whatnot.
[b]Posts everyone is sick of:[/b]
Laughing at normal people instead of actual tech-illiterate asshats:
"My friend said he has 1 terabyte of ram lolol"
"Someone said their 8800 video card is better than my 220GT turbo-derp, what a retard"
[b]stupid, repetitive, or extremely damaging pranks:[/b]
"I unplugged my friend's mouse at school and they had to call over a teacher, I'm so cool"
"I told my friend to delete system32 and he did lmfao"
[quote=Daijitsu]
[quote=shadowsniper873]Okay my turn. The idiot for our school's IT "department" (as they like to call it) gave me an admin account on the school network,(because he is retarded and thinks I wont notice) so I decide to fuck up everyone's files. Since everyone's files show up on the network drive, I delete everything from the word documents and copy and paste "I am a cock sucking fag!" and made every shortcut to a webpage "Rick Rolls" (since we are working on HTML there were about 5 on each account) and I delete all the files on the teachers account and replaced it with porn. So after i do all that shit we couldn't use any computers because "A virus got into the system and now we have to format them" (they format the computers every few weeks)[/quote]
And now every student who's files you just destroyed has to re-do their homework IF they have the time, possibly losing valuable information and weeks worth of hard time and effort. Teachers often ignore computer failure and file deletion as 'avoidable' and say you should have backed up your files and it's your own fault for losing it.
Now we have several students with otherwise good grades getting a massive dent in their records, losing several points on their GPA, potentially losing just enough (depending on the scale of the project you just fucked up 'for the lulz') to be denied future admissions to colleges, universities, jobs, and other high-profile opportunities that required him to get an A in a specialty class, but their final project worth that wonderful 10 to 20% of their final grade just got replaced with the text "I am a cock sucking fag!" and they e-mailed it out to their teacher without looking for such a freak change in their past two months' worth of work.
Their teacher, outraged by the 'obvious' act of defiance, fails them not only for the paper, but potentially marks them down even further, giving detention or suspending, or outright planting a 0 on their final grade.
but hey, at least you got a few rickrolls in, right?[/quote]
[b]Blind hatred or fanboyism:[/b]
People who say Macs suck are stupid and wrong
People who say PCs suck are stupid and wrong
"Macfags suck because apple sucks and they think they're better rage rage rage."
"PC sucks cuz Mac is better."
[b]Remember, tech illiterates ACT like they know things, but don't.[/b]
It's fun when they actually follow their own advice on tech when they have NO clue what they're doing, like the one guy who said "My keyboard broke, so we bought a new computer because it was easier", or just general idiocy, like the one 8.5 minute rant that, in short, was "PC cost too much for gaming, spend the money on consoles and TVs because I don't want to be locked away in a room, so buy a mac. OSX MOTHAFUCKAAA"
He actually peaced-out with "OSX." *gangsta-face*[/release]

Maybe if it was a bit bigger and faster... and had sound. It's neat, though.
I don't want the wording bigger, and I want to to look like typing, I paced the letters to be like that. As for the overall speed, I want some dead space before and after, but I might speed up the pace a bit during typing. I suppose after watching it for a while it would seem slow. The entire thing is still only about 8 seconds.
Sound is something I'm still wondering about. Not sure if I should leave it, try to get someone to make a sound effect for it, or record my keyboard.

Also I need to speak with someone who knows logo design to see how I can structure it differently to build a look that is somewhat... repeatable for avatars, logos, and credits and stuff.
last thread ended with 999 posts
what's up with that shit
I'd really go for at least 1,5-2x the size of the wording. I get that you want it to be small, but it's too small, IMO.
And I guess you could use some fancy font to make it something recognizable for logos and stuff? Or keep the cursor, or something like that.

TWICE?
Also font aint changin' since it matches the grid screen style I worked 90% on. I meant more so extra shapes and features that could be applied to the name to build up a more recognizable name.
I get what most of your saying, and I appreciate the time for feedback, but most of the choices I made specific reflect the entire theme of it.
[editline]21st April 2013[/editline]
More specifically I'm replicating a project I spent a ton of time on a few years ago for a zombie film I got taken on for. I designed a computer screen loadout that looked exactly like it came from a old computer in a warehouse. I had the bright tinted glow, the shadow mask on the screen, the phase climb from a camera, all animated.
And I can't find the project.
well I'm no graphic designer
as for the [I]good[/I] part of feedback: it's really nice and minimalistic and... [I]calm[/I] and it matches your videos well. Most youtube channels fuck up when it comes to intros in the sense that they're too long and loud and annoying. (every CoD kiddie ever, 2BFP's machinima videos, Game Grumps, etc) the sound of you typing would complete it.
[editline]21st April 2013[/editline]
nah just kidding you should lrn2intros or you'll never be as successful as this guy:

I believe garry changed it that way so people don't spam stupid shit like "hurr durr iz dis last psot??????"
I actually just messed with it a bit and simply set AE to 200% and if I scale everything up perfectly, the sharpness works well.
[img]http://puu.sh/2EccS.jpg[/img]
Ok, how does that look now at 200%, + color + new glow

I think it looks much better personally, and I didn't even notice the grid in the video until I fullscreened it, in 360 and 480p the grid itself is barely visible.
Yea, on a personal level, I love very fine geometric detail, hence the fine grid. But this looks more... flexible screen size wise.
Also the directional glow is kind of vegas-ish.
I like it, except for the cloudy effect. It's [b]VERY[/b] obviously Photoshops filter > render > clouds. It's cheap and doesn't look all too good, even when used well.
Yeah man you gotta use videocopilotsmoke2.avi like all the cool kids

Does that actually matter to anyone besides huge nerdlords though
as an illiterate internet user I think it looks alright

It looks terrible, so yes.
It is so funny telling your friends that Windows 8 ain't so terrible and that it is cheaper than W7.
[editline]21st April 2013[/editline]
They have no arguments after that other than the "loss of the start menu" and that it is so weird and change is bad.
[editline]21st April 2013[/editline]

It may obviously be that, except it's not.
It's a Fractal Noise, Spline, 120Contrast, 3.5Brightness, and multiple layers on different loops.
This is AE, not photoshop.
[editline]21st April 2013[/editline]
Clouds in photoshopped looks terrible, this looks good to me.

Still looks the same, that's not a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I like the image as a whole, just not that part.

I'd like it to be faster too actually, and the blinks should take a bit longer.
Also, as youtube player ain't 720p size (And the bloody fixes don't work anymore for me) the grid and stuff can't be seen :c
Fucking hate the small player. I either have to watch videos in full screen (What I have started doing) or just live with the terrible small player. I loved Cosmic Panda. I wish it was back. It had a neat player what resized itself according to your browser size, the new UI is a total downgrade.
