  1. I briefly considered testing a normal form youtube link with the https, but figured, "What're the chances?"
  2. That's incorrect. It's the https that it's taking offense to as I said earlier, not the shortened link. e.g. (edit) Oh, cool, I just noticed this is Postmodern Jukebox, too.
  3. I received a game, From ShadySands once before, But it's Batman, so (Steam, if I were to win a copy. Thanks either way, ShadySands, ) (e): Shoot, I can't count syllables. "Already" has three, not two. Changed that to "before",
  4. You only have to post the YouTube link now. Also, don't use https.
  5. I watched the third Hobbit recently, too. Most tolerable of them all, IMO...but still not ever gonna re-watch it. Such sadly mediocre movies.
  6. As far as user-made music videos go, yours was probably the least obnoxious I've ever seen. ...Not that that's a very high bar to meet, all things considered, but it's something, right? (e): Uh, you didn't MAKE the music, did you? I assumed it was somebody else's music and the video was what you were posting primarily.
  7. I discovered Pink Martini yesterday and have liked literally everything I've heard from them so far. Thanks friend who randomly sent me a link because they heard a song on spotify.
  8. Why are there 101 users viewing this topic currently, and what was this about?
  9. I got that board for my uncle recently (built him a computer). It seemed a little overpriced...but he wanted orange, so he got orange. Besides being overpriced IMO and a somewhat tacky BIOS, it seems like a good board with a good feature set.
  10. Are people actually able to eat ramen like...once a day every day? I like ramen, but my digestive system stops functioning if I have it too much.
  11. Wasn't there a recent archaeological recovery of some importance for that movie?
  12. I would hope it has less Tim Burton than Alice, seeing how Tim Burton is not involved at all. Last Tim Burton movie I can think of that I liked even moderately was probably Nightmare, which I still am not the biggest fan of. Not sure what I'll think of it. Commercials make it look pretty bad, but commercials have been making everything look bad, so...
  13. How would you compare Cinderella versus Maleficent and/or Alice? (I like Maleficent, I don't like Alice.)
  14. Left my computer on overnight. Woke to find my primary monitor frozen at black - not off, but just black - while the second monitor was acting as though it wasn't even plugged in. Restarted my computer to find that my system drive, the SSD, is very much dead. Regardless of where or what I plug it into, nothing recognizes it. My system image I use to restore from wouldn't work on this old SATA 2 80GB...because the drive I did the image from was 120GB, and apparently if the drive you're restoring to is smaller than the drive you're restoring from, it won't work - regardless of whether or not the restore only takes up 20GB or so, anyways. Been a fun day.
  15. Bleck. Like TrueNeutral, I really did not like Hotel Transylvania. Big Hero 6. It was decent. I liked it about as much as I liked Maleficent - Wreck-it-Ralph and all the others definitely ranked higher. I didn't much like any particular character, which really hurt the movie for me, and I most definitely did not like San Frantokyo.
  16. What a ridiculous song. I thought I posted this at some point in the past, but I can't find any evidence of doing so. (edit) Just in case I have, though...
  17. Yeah, I thought it was pretty neat. I wonder if they ever plan on doing something with that.
  18. Did you go the good guy route or the bad guy? I thought the devs did a great job with the evil options. In some ways, it was actually better crafted than the good guy options, although that's hard to judge since they were all so good. I always play the good guy, of course, but the *truly* evil ending in particular was absolutely stunning and grim. ...I don't know what the bad guy route you're talking about is. Perhaps I should replay...
  19. Wreck-It-Ralph. I liked it more than Maleficent, for sure - but I think I liked it a little less than Tangled, which I liked less than Frozen. Overall, though, I'm pretty impressed by what Disney's been doing lately. I've never much liked 3D animation, and I think I'm beginning to understand why. Pixar, for the last fifteen years or so, has been pretty much the face of 3D animation. Dreamworks has a hit like Shrek here and there, but it's been almost entirely Pixar outside of that. Disney's movies since their last 2D animation (Atlantis - and discounting Princess and the Frog) were Lilo & Stitch, Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Home on the Range, Chicken Little, Meet the Robinsons, Bolt...I've literally only seen Lilo & Stitch out of these, and some parts of Treasure Planet. And then...I look at Pixar's main movies/series. And then it hits me...I haven't much liked any 3D animated movies because I don't like Pixar's art styles. I've also always felt like 3D animation had lost some of the charm that 2D animation had for reasons unrelated to the art-style...and again, that's because of Pixar: their story settings. They're almost all modern and/or completely fantastical (Monsters, Cars, Toy Story...). Their over-blobification of humans, their over-usage of inanimate objects like toys and cars...talking fish and rats... I like more classical settings, like Sleeping Beauty's or even Frozen's. I like human characters...but I like for them to actually at least somewhat resemble humans - I still don't think Disney's way of doing it is perfect, but Tangled's and Frozen's have been infinitely better in my eyes than anything Pixar has done in that regard. My favorite Pixar movie is WALL-E...and I guess it's not really a surprise why anymore. Semi-realistic projection of Earth in the future, robots taking the spotlight instead of humans so I don't have to look at Pixar's ugly human faces the entire movie, fairly minimal (for an animated movie) dialogue... Yep, for once, I look forward to the future of 3D animation...so long as Disney continues to ride high, possibly at Pixar's expense.
  20. Packers re-sign Cobb against my expectations. A big thank you to everyone involved,
  21. I can't much stand that one due to the heavy vocoding. Gosh, I hate ripping CDs with EAC. It's so...boring.
  22. Heard it on some compilation album called Chain D.L.K. Compilation CD #1. Not usually a fan of German lyrics, but wumpscut can be an exception.
  23. I've never played the game, so I wouldn't have any idea. I hoped it'd help, but I guess not. Sorry!
