It's hard to tell with that picture as the tweeter (the name of that type of speaker which emits high frequency sounds) is somewhat out of focus.
If I was to hazard a guess, it would be that there is dust, dirt or fungus in the grill. Dust, dirt and grime there is quite harmless as the grill is there to catch that. If it is fungus, it shouldn't be, it's usually a greeny-brown colour and indicates there has been moisture there at some point, which is not good.
If it's brand new, you're well within your rights to take it back with some "what the fuck is this shit, it's supposed to be new" questions.
Yea there's no light around to give me a better shot. It's certainly on the tweeter itself and not the grill.
Guess I will have to give them a call and take the speaker back. Boourns.

Man, Gaming is nigh on insufferable at the moment. But I can't help but read all the fanboy laden threads
Yeah, it sounds like physical damage to the tweeter or some sort of residue or markings.
Definitely take it back to the shop and get them swapped over. Don't take 'no' for an answer.

I know their project supervisors. I'll totally put in a bad word.

Holy shit I want to throttle half the people in this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=516730
I love indie games, but man have they really warped peoples perceptions of what it actually costs to develop software (games and otherwise) in a professional studio. Being "indie" doesn't only mean one or two smelly dudes living in a darkened one-room apartment living off of next to nothing.

They should use hobos. Lots and lots of hobos.
That should reduce costs.
That should reduce costs.
It just blows my mind that nobody can do the simple maths of what it costs for 8 in-house developers to work on a project for a couple of months. The fact that they're doing that, plus outsourcing a bunch of shit they can't do themselves, all for 150k is actually pretty cheap.
I suppose when you're an unemployed teenager that can seem like an astronomical amount of money, but for fucks sake I wish they'd stop pretending like they know what they're talking about when it's so clear that they don't.

That guy who said they should use voice123.com instead of professional voice actors in a studio...

It's insane isn't it? I think they all think this is still the 80s. In fact that sums up GAF pretty well these days
I'm not even sure it's a mentality of it being the 80's still. I think so many indie devs have made fantastic games while either living in poverty or doing it in addition to a day job that the perception of independently developing games has been warped. I mean, if you can live like that and make great games, that's fantastic, but a game like Skullgirls isn't going to come out of that sort of situation.

Nope, you are totally justified to vent about that kind of stuff. Otherwise it just gets you down. You are more tolerant than I ever would be.
See, this man is wise. Wise beyond his mortal years.
Whoever invented baby wipes deserves a Nobel peace prize.
Are they still okay to use on babies, or has the backlash against man made products hit them too?
ZE CONSOLES ARE LAUNCHING!!! RERELEASE THE FANBOIS!
Yeah that was mindblowing.
Do you work for a company? If so you should understand how much fucking money it costs to get shit done.
The best part is that every time some ignorant shit is given a breakdown of how much time and effort is required, the response is along the lines of: "well then they should really re-examine how to do things more efficiently."

4 and a half hours? That's crazypants.
Rising's timer is speedrun focused so it works weirdly

Doesn't count cutscenes, loading times or play time when you die before the next checkpoint.
So safe estimate in a game like this is a little under double the counter time for how long you spent on it. Until you turn into a god of Revengence.

But that would still indicate 4:30 of actual gameplay (outside of cutscenes, etc), right?

Only gameplay sections where you didn't die before getting to the next checkpoint. So effectively your best run at all the sections.

Since when did Facebook start showing "suggested posts" from pages I haven't even liked in my newsfeed?
Yes, people are stupid.
4:30 of best time run gameplay. I suspect closer to around 6-7 hours, and even then, that's only a first run. For someone who likes action games, I doubt they would be playing Rising once on normal. When I get some more time I'm going to dive back in on hard, but I need a break first.

Ehhhh, I guess that's better. But still... that's a little bit disappointing.
The acoustic properties of elbow grease have been overlooked for years. It's great to see it finally getting the recognition it deserves.

So she knows how much gouging goes on in the industry. Charge $4000 for $3 of elbow grease and 10 mins of recording time captured by a webcam from Dick Smiths.
Dick Smiths? What are you, some fucking elitist?
MSY man, $5 webcams. I could save the gaming industry millions!
It's a Platinum game. Vanquish and Bayonetta are both about the same, aren't they? I mean, if you strip out all your deaths and retries. Not saying that's a justification for everyone, it's just how they build games. They're designed to be replayed for faster clear times.
The worst thing about that thread are the posters taking their issues with AAA budgets and using that to throw this ridiculous amount of scepticism on one of the most transparent and upfront crowdsourcing projects I've seen. I just don't get it.

No, it's just that Dick Smith's have a better returns policy. I always take the webcam back for a refund after I've finished recording.
You're probably right. I thought they were longer but I suck most heartily at them, so that probably accounts for the time.
I was the same with Vanquish. I think it took me 2 straight hours of playing that first boss before the game finally clicked and I could get past it.
