If they could pull Dallas and move it somewhere else, that sure would be swell.

Also, does he need more expensive headphones for that to work?  Do cheaper ones come/work with an amp jack? 

The 70 dollar Sennheisers make everything sound like I'm listening to a radio. What price range am I supposed to look at before things start getting good?

Mine were 120ish and I think they sound pretty decent.  I'm by no means an audiophile but they're comfortable and sound good.  Sennheiser HD 555

Thanks for the link Dice.

What frustrates me most about this mess right now is that instead of waiting for evidence to come in  and covering the facts, various political groups and/or segments of the media (hardly a difference between the two, frankly) are busy throwing blame at each other for the attack.  For fuck's sake, have some respect for the victims and take a day off from screaming at each other and focus on covering the facts, finding out new information, and giving people information about charities that will let them help.

That's why I barely watched anything yesterday.  No one really (except maybe whoever is on the case) knows anything yet.  Guessing shit is annoying and does nothing.  I watched some and turned it off until actual facts come to light.

This board is dead?  I'd say it's pretty much perfect...

Agreed.  It has enough going on to make me visit often, while small enough to remember who most people are.  I hate being on boards where the only people you remember are the annoying trolls because it's too large to remember anyone else.

God that fuckin' level.

And then an ice world right after it.

You really ought to watch the Game Center CX episode for Battletoads.  Probably right up your alley.

Looking at shows for this season.  Not really interested in AoT.  Red Data Girl, Valvrave the Liberator, and Gargantia are probably the ones I will begin to watch and then eventually stop as I seem to do for some reason.

Still need to finish Koutoura and Accel World.  Someday, someday...

And lastly.... I'm not even kidding about the tattoo... anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Magatama or the pressturn icon.  Something iconic definitely.  cj_iwakura would probably have good ideas.

So I had a work buddy today:






She kept coming into my office a couple of times to say hello.  Then around the 4th time she just plopped down and slept for a good hour beside my desk. Was so cute.  She's only about 13 weeks old and is very sweet and soft.

I don't necessarily agree with his line of thinking but thought it was pretty funny regardless.

Words to live by. We don't actually like closing off threads from new users, because we don't want to look unfriendly... but we don't want cluttered boards either. :)

Do eeet.  He creates so many different topics about different games I'm curious how many games he actually ends up playing.  The game comparisons were somewhat decent discussion fodder, but if you just have a question about a single fucking game (or about a disc of a game ffs), just post it in the game journal thread like everyone else does.  People have mentioned that many times but it falls on deaf ears every time.

So if you're waiting for legal streams of Shingeki no Kyoujin, it looks like it's not going to happen.

Why do companies do this?  Surely they must have realized by now that if you don't give people a legal alternative they're just going to pirate it...

Pretty much.  Are they planning on releasing it on DVD eventually?  I don't know what they're smoking but with all the fansub sites out there, like you said, it's going to be heavily pirated.  How many are going to go back and actually buy the product after they pirated it an watched it?  Probably less than 5%.  Seems like a really stupid business move.

WARNING! WARNING! A BLATANT PLEA FOR MORAL SUPPORT IS ABOUT TO BE LET LOOSE!


Well guys, in the wake of my "lets quit sweet n' low" experiment I have determined that I must give up the "taste" of sweet. I have come to the conclusion that I am highly addicted to sweet tasting things and (strange or simple as it may seem) it is the root of great strife for me. This effort is irrelevant in regard to weight (as by anyone standards I don't think a full grown adult male of 125-130 lbs needs to lose) and is purely in the interest of better cognition and saving money.

I never really looked at how disrupting the "tasting of sweet things" is to my life (and wallet). Upon examination I came to some startling conclusions...

1.I spent well over 100 dollars on non-nutritional food items in the last 3 days (things I didn't need but just simply wanted because they were sweet).

2.I will literally not consume meat, vegetables or ANYTHING if I can't sweeten it somehow.

3. I will and am late for things because I can't stop drinking sweet coffee.

4. (Dumb as this may sound, it is the most disturbing point to me) I watch less anime then I have in the past and play less games to acomodate my sweet coffee habit.

5. I drink 1 gallon of almond milk a day or more. If I don't sweeten it, I don't even want a single glass.

6. I find myself distracted by the thought of sweet things at the most odd times, this is becoming too frequent to point of almost constant. While I am tattooing, playing games, running, drawing, driving... you name it.

I can go on but you get the idea. I am very distressed over this situation. While I am happy and hopeful at the prospect of making a positive change in my life... I FEEL FREAKIN' WEAK AT THE KNEES OVER IT!!!

I don't know why I am even posting this crap... I just feel like garbage over the whole thing and needed to vent I guess. As I have expressed in the past, this is my preferred social outlet and I have somehow come to identify you all as my friends... As such, you must put up with my ellipses and whining-LoL

But seriously, I feel so down about all this it isn't even funny. I could have paid my electric bill, paid off soul hacks and pandoras tower, probably watched a entire season of anime and easily have beaten persona 2 IS in the last 14 days if I wasn't "sweet" addicted.

The kicker? Because of my limited diet I can only have certain things that aren't always the easiest to find... the other night at 2 am I drove over 40 miles to buy one of my "sweet treats" because my local store was sold out... as I was counting change to fill my tank and drive back ( because I spent all the cash I had on me to stock up)  the thought occurred to me " Klyde... there is something wrong here..."

On the upside, it only took about 1 full day to stop seriously craving the sweet n' low so I can't imagine this being too bad...

I think Klyde might be the most interesting person in this forum America.  What sweat treat did you drive 40+ miles for?

People wonder why I don't pc game....having a computer in my house is a bad idea generally.

Could make your own partition.

I use a pseudonym online. Thus if any employer searches for me online they will find nothing.

Truthfully, this only works to your benefit sometimes.  With the prevalence of social media in today's world, a lot of HR departments these days assume everyone has a social media account.  If they can't find you, they may assume you are trying to hide something.  You might be better off making a second profile that lists squeaky clean interests such as church, rainbows, and puppy dog kisses than nothing at all. 

I'm the same, I got little to hide, but I'd still be worried about being tracked for even general likes and interests -- not necessarily stigmatizing, but changing perception of how an employer might see me. 

I have an old friend who's trying to get into the law profession.  He doesn't set everything to private and a general Google search reveals his Facebook profile where he lists interests such as South Park and World of Warcraft.  He's in his early thirties.  I wish we still kept in contact so I could tell him he needs to set that to private or remove it entirely.  This stuff can definitely hurt job prospects.

Seriously?

Employers get suspicious if you don't have a facebook page, so they can use it to determine whether or not to hire you based on which TV shows you like?

It's basically a way to cull resumes.  Due to the economy and the ease of applying online to jobs thanks to Monster, Careerbuilder, etc, they often get a silly amount of resumes so they're looking for ANY reason whatsoever to throw that resume in the garbage.  Some may use a program to scan for certain words in resumes, then whittle it down from there (using a bunch of methods, such as the above mentioned social media scanning).

Looking at how IS remake made me feel, I really hope SH doesn't have a retarded encounter rate.
75  Media / Single-Player RPGs / Re: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy on: April 04, 2013, 04:21:51 PM
Glad they're finally getting around to it.

I find it kind of humorous that of all my anticipated video games that are going to be released in the next few months are all for the 3DS.
