I'm not feeling the music man, sorry to say. I can get into the music but the vocals are just too distracting. It's not like Kings of Leon where the "singing" can be largely ignored for the awesome music. I'll take a ton of suggestions though, if you have some metal with some better singing. Stuff like Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, and Disturbed are all fine as long as it isn't something like 70% screaming. Quote:

FABIO KNOWS WHERE MUSIC IS ATTT!!! <3
I love your view on why you like metal it is basically the same as mine, not to mention metal is funner to play on the guitar wooooo!! /Throws Inflames songs at DCC |

If anyone recommends good metal, I prefer stuff with no or little screaming. Screaming is ok, but if it's extremely grumbled and excessive, I can't really enjoy it. |
I'm listening to metal, too. Dr en Grey's Obscure.. though I can't really post a link to that here haha :3
|
Haha. Yeh, don't post it here, we both know what that video is like! XD |
Time to get serious with the electric guitar.
|
Got to love that, haven't you. |
Hardcore indeed. It's pretty badass how he has the cigarette attached to the end of his guitar. I was like "what is that smoke coming out of the end of his guitar, is he playing so hardcore that his guitar is flaring up?"
|
Haha, that is Eddie for you. I think everyone thought the smoke was coming from the guitar at first. :3 |
Fabio I take your eddie and raise you a buckethead!
So how many of you guys actually play guitar/ an instrument? |
Bucket Head is indeed cool, but he can't beat Eddie, imo. Eddie has pure history and is epic! |
Guitar for about 11 years and keyboard for nearly 2 years now yeahhhhhhh. Kinda nerdy lol.
|
I can play chopsticks on the piano better than all of you combined!
|
Oh Andy, you have put us all to shame. XD |
Dude, discussion about metal? Good metal? Well. You guys should check out Ne Obliviscaris. They're new and friggin brilliant. And from Australia!
I've played bass for like, I guess it's almost exactly 8 years now. D: Tried recording some yesterday and that did. not. work. Good news is, I need a new sound card. Bad news is I need a new sound card. Holding out hope that today won't be nearly as expensive. |
Some of the band names you all mentioned are great in an I-don't-get-where-they-came-from kind of way. Quick, everyone, grab the nearest book. Find the first word on page 19, then the first word on page 81, then the first word on page 48. You now have your band name.
Immortalized Divine Harvesting. That worked better than I thought. |

I actually learned how to play the pipe organ...but then forgot. ;; |
Played clarinet for 6 years now. (All types except the Contra's, although I'd love to play one of those too.)
As for metal, try listening to HIM. While your at it, check out Newgrounds audio collection, lot of good stuff their. As for metal in general, I find myself preferring symphonic and neo- classical metal over anything else. Back to instruments. I've always wanted to learn how to play the bagpipes. |
Haven't used this thing in ages.
Why haven't I checked this thread? |

DCC is awesome; I always use to post in it but had a bit of a break couple of months ago. |
I used to be a BEAST in the DCC. Especially back in like 2005 or 2006 or so.. the DCC was my home <33
|
That was because you moderated the section! XD |
Quote:
Wouldn't it be interesting to look up any posts in a "5 years from now" thread? Reflective opportunity right there. |
I never post here. What is the point.
|
No but even before I moderated it.. man.. it was crazy! I wonder if I can find any of the old threads..
We had monthly ones haha :33 |
It is always interesting to look up posts from previous years. It is more amusing to see different discussions, topics and people... and what the weather was like then. |
I like looking back over old threads just to see how bad they were lol. As well as to see which crazy threads have been deleted. They're the best part.

|
Where you'd be down the road in a matter of months? That's a first, if that's...not even sure I understood that.
Reminiscing over past times and old threads seems like it's a permanent part of the topic cycle here now. |
AIGHT GUYS IT'S COLD AS HELL
I just like to look back and see who were the mods and stuff. I'm incredibly nosy, I know. So yeah. Shoot me? |
It's never too late to come back!
Also they need some activity at the PG DCC imma go check dem out now |
holy **** is the ROM complete and they're just holding back? OMGOMG
I would love to see the whole thing and play it. Although imma buy it because I support getting new games in the future and not driving Game Freak bankrupt. |
I really want to play BW2. I just dont want to wait anymore why does it have to take so long to be out in English ;_;
|
Quote:
It's already being flooded. |
Yeah, people are going nuts over the rom. Practically every social media network I have has a million liveblog/plurk/tweets/whatever about them playing the game. Someone also streamed it. I think it looks really cute, actually.
|
Quote:
Tell me about it. O_O |
Id like to watch an LP at least, though that would probaly just make me want to play it more.

Gosh, just think about when the videos come out, and ALL of the official music, etc etc. Dang, the section is gonna explode. xD But I am upset it takes a while for the translations to be done for the USA. :c Why can't they all have a magic button that translates it to every language in a matter of hours, ship them out to other countries, and be done with it? :c |
Last time I tried to play a fan-translated BW and it was only translated up to before the first gym and I didn't know what to do and didn't enjoy it.
SO I'LL WAIT FOR ENGLISH THANKS |
@Jellicent What I'm thinking.
I'm avoiding news about these games until I can get my hands on them or untill they give an official US release date on them. Why haven't they did that yet? I need my release dates Nintendo! |

/makes a tool where it all runs through Google Translate. |
Yeah, I can translate every sentence fairly easily with Densho Jisho...what's takingggg them so lonngggggg
So yeah. I guess it's hard to translate? That's a sad reality. @Toujours What you said. |
And the have to make up English names for Pokemon and other characters, moves, items, etc, all that cant be easy at all.
|
Yeh, it is true. There is a lot of text and, as I said, I don't mind them taking a long time because we really do need to understand the text... unlike... |
At least this time its not as much of a wait.
|
Rom leaked already?
Holy crap. Must find. I'm going to love seeing some of the fan (mis)translations of it. I'm still laughing over a couple of (mis)translated sentences from BW. And on that, I'm also going to love putting down some of the translations too. |
I still haven't even finished Black version. Probably won't get around to it either.
|
Dammit
I don't think I'll really be interested with dealing with DS ROMs anymore. Those are annoying, and I doubt my Mac can handle anything more than Diamond or Pearl. |
The freezes are just the AP. Someone cracked the basic AP (No-xp) but the freezes are still a problem. I heard that someone has managed to crack the ap that causes the freezes too, although he's yet to release the hex changes needed. (Proably still testing them)
I wouldn't worry about it. With how popular this game is, the AP will be fully cracked in a few days. As for incompability, if your using No$ then its no suprise. That emulator was last updated... a half a decade ago? Close to that. Personally, I'm surprised its still used. The game runs a lot better on flashcarts though, so I'll be trying the game after I update mine. Edit - AP patch Spoiler:
You'll have to apply this manually. Edit 2 Speaking of translations, one is (already) in the works. |
Yep, the AP is pretty much the cause for the freezes. But it seems to be getting more and more complex per new DS game. It's actually taking 2 days to crack a popular game? XDD
|
Complex?
Haha. From what I've heard, all that this AP is was just transfering over the Ap from BW. Given that it got cracked day 1, I'm willing to bet that this is true. |
This isn't romhacking.net y'all know, right?
Okay yeah anyways back on topic. What's AP? I've never heard of it... |
Ap stands for anti piracy cause everyone knows thatll stop people from playing games. "LoL"
All you people shouldnt be playing illegal roms anyway! Shame on you all! |
No regrets, CWP. No regrets.
I Googled "no regrets" and this came up: http://chzpokememes.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/pokmon-no-regrets.jpg |
"00 00 9F E5" appears quite often in the anti-piracy code for BW1. Is that ARM for "CURSE YOU...YOU HAVE BEATEN MEEEEEE"? ldr r15, r0, #0x0
yeah. i'm sure nintendo really cares. |
[SIZE="a"]I'm trying to get a job as I type this.

Spoiler:
Yeah, you're right. Raus and Amir always make me feel better. So why not Monster.com or something and get an interview? Are you just there because you can, or has there been some problems and you've been forced to take that route? |
Freaky is it like a waterpark or something? That's what my local waterpark does, hires people on the spot at the job fair.

Must you present temptation?
Completely normal to feel nervous before starting your first job, right? Though I'll welcome the monotonous and mundane routine of the workplace with open arms, I still think I won't be able to juggle it along effectually with university classes going on. You can tell I'm not used to working. |
For some reason I can do my job in only three hours from the eight hours I have to do it in, so the other 5 hours I can just browse PC and chat with people.
It's a good time to get stuff done as well as there are much fewer distractions. |
Haha, efficient on your part or misconceived time allotment by the manager?
For the love of me, I don't think I'd be able to control the cynic in me when I'm dealing with acrid and arrogant customers. There's always paid internships I suppose. Harder to attain but definitely rewarding. |
I'd like to think efficiency, but I might just be flattering myself there. You'd have to ask my manager how well he thinks I do . xD
You've got a certain amount of security with an intern-ship too. |
My first job in the industry was over the summer of my first year of Uni as a Production Assistant for a company that did animated commercials (my job dealt with applying to film festivals, scanning, compositing, colouring animation, and dealing with people/ the phone.) I was super nervous at first but easily got into it.
Second place in the industry was my internship at Disney working on Split Second DLC and prototype anims for a game that was in development. I learned a lot and I was so happy with that experience. It was a big move. :33 Now I'm working at Sega as an animator (suuuper nervous when I started, too.. aren't we all?) and so happy that one of the games I am working on will get announced soon :333 So I will finally be able to spazz and talk about what I am actually working on <3333 Man I love working in Games. |
I'm trying to get into medicine as a major(cause medicine is the best major ever) but I'm totally interested in developing my own game, even though I have absolutely no experience with anything computer related haha :( I really hope there's a little bit of free time and the "busy doctor" stuff was totally exaggerated, but I know that's not true.

I work at a computer repair shop.
Nice and simple. I write a bit in my free time, hope to publish a few books one of these years. |

Mine is awesome and I am happy with my pay. It is fun being an IT Technician for a University, because you don't do the same thing every day; varies a hell of a lot. |
Part time jobs I had were in retail and it was soul destroying. XD |

So from what I hear, I shouldn't even consider getting a retail job?

That is just my personal experience of it; doesn't mean you won't like it. There are many good parts about it, but it just wasn't for me. |

I suggest to avoid CLOTHING for retail. However, beauty supplies and junk is simple. |

Hope your luck strikes me the same way.
Are the majority of technically issues you face solved by a simple system restart? |
Not really. It depends on the problem though. Printer problems aren't sorted by turning them off and on normally. |
Retail jobs are pretty soul crushing if you have the wrong mix of bad customers, annoying coworkers, and uncaring managers.
|
Ahhh yeah I've heard a couple stories before. It's pretty dumb how all these customers act so entitled though. You're buying groceries...don't expect them to be your slaves...
|
I solve my printer problems by giving it a good axe kick.
Nah jk, it's usually a paper jam so I gotta unjam it >_< |
My printer problem is that it guzzles ink like an SUV guzzles gas, and it's too expensive to keep our color ink cartridge filled... we pretty much have to print everything in black and white now.
|
^, and how come my color printer requires me to have cyan, magenta, yellow, and black to print black and white.
|
Printers are how computer companies make money, with those super expensive ink cartridges. >_o
|
Also, if you have an inkjet printer, instead of getting the paper printed, it's a robot orgy session, with a bit of printing going on.
That's why I like laser printers, even if they only come in black and white. That gets the job doooone. And yeah, why do ink cartridges cost so much? I'm buying ink, not a house... |
Because that's how they get you. Some computers even come with free printers, they make up the money by having their own brand of ultra-expensive ink that you have to buy to keep it working.
|
Wouldn't a good price and functionality and some awesome customer service make more money than doing that?
|
Customer service costs them money, it doesn't make them money. Although I've bought a lot more expensive printers based on what I would save on ink cartridges, because higher-quality printers have less expensive cartridges since they don't need to make up the loss of money with cartridges like the free/cheap ones do.
|
Why spend all that money on the cartridges? Just get refill kits.
Lot cheaper... Unless you spill ink all over the floor/carpet/yourclothes/thecat/whatever. Some cartridges can't be refilled though, so its best to get the refill kit first, then a printer that uses cartridges that you can refill. |
