So I've been playing a lot of Halo: Reach lately and of course I'm going to blast our surround sound system to fully enjoy the game. Oddly, our neighbors here in San Francisco don't appreciate videogames as much as we do as evidence by this note we discovered at our front door yesterday morning.
I was tempted to ignore the note, but they did say please twice. Sorry about that, neighbors. Now I'm using my Astro A30s headset to bring about early deafness. Living the dream.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Knock on my door like a man and ask me to stop. I will gladly stop. But as you chickened out and did not approach me in such a human manor, PREPARE FOR DEADLY PREMONITION ALL NIGHT LONG!!!
Yeah I watch porn really loud........
Is some idiot at Bungie thinks that we have to get the whole HALO experience by NOT letting the user properly adjust the Audio levels for the SOUND TRACK and Overall volume of the ACTION sounds. This creates a problem if you have to lower the music because it to Fraking loud EVERYTHING needs tp be lowered because you have to use your TV or surround sound volume control .... come on bungie I really dont need to hear the music that much..... archaic and stupid please fix
Koryuken, very yes.
Dude, I drive around blasting that soundtrack at ridiculous levels all the time. It's pretty God damn ace.
wasting police time for the lolz?
While I will likely play CIV5 until 5AM on Sept.22, I'm not going to be so inconsiderate as to not use headphones given the proximity of other people.
Shame on you, Hamza :(
Notes like that are a nice way of saying:
'Hey stupid fuck, do you not realize that we live in a shit apartment and you're being a complete ass-hat by being a loud callous fuck after 11pm? Grow up, learn that other people don't have a 'cool' job and actually need to sleep at night.'
Then they bash your head in with a bat because it's been two weeks of them listening to you before they actually said or did anything. Not out of fear, but because they didn't want to be that annoying 'Please keep it down' neighbor.
That note was polite as can be and should be treated as politely back.
This particular video did make me lol though.
It's not that difficult to meet up with a person when you know where they live/work. Leaving a note instead of even attempting to talk to the person is childish. If you are so upset at a person making noise that you can't stand to look at them for fear of having a psychotic episode, you don't need more considerate neighbors; you need medication.
I guess what I'm saying is that you should try to talk to the neighbor who is ignoring your passive-aggressive notes, Doos.
