Lmfao this. It's not like people get hurt when two gay people marry. "BUT HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS TO MY CHILDREN", really simple, the way my mother did it: sometimes people don't like people from the other gender but from the same gender. That's it. THAT'S REALLY IT. People talk about it like it's some difficult math formula but it really isn't.
 
Also people who claim it ruins "the sanctity of marriage" bc marriage should be between a man and a woman is a load of shit because 1) Britney Spears got married once for 7 hours while drunk and that's not ruining the sanctity of marriage while a gay couple who has been together for 10 years that wants to get married does? 2) These people always yell that the bible forbids it but hey the bible also forbids you to do a lot of other things but they don't seem to care about those lol.
 
In short: being homophobic isn't freedom of speech, it's being a douche and highly illegal.

what's not to love?

Currently playing the Tomb Raider 2013 reboot, it was on sale, got it for around 10$. This is one of the first non-JRPG I'm playing and I'm really enjoying it. The story is really captivating and Lara's character is really believable and loveable. I'm enjoying the gameplay and the unexpected quicktime events.

I am going to write this review for Maiku, because Maiku is sad nobody else reviews this and you should be ashamed of yourself for making him sad. I am not the kind of person to do track by track reviews, so I'll just take this album as a whole and describe what I liked and what I didn't like.
The highlight from this album in my opinion is the first track, CRITICAL ELEVATION, which is (as Maiku already stated) a mix between the songs MA★PIECE and アダルト. It's like these songs had sex, made a love baby and called it CRITICAL ELEVATION. I like both songs, but of those two I prefer アダルト, so I was glad to see CRITICAL ELEVATION had the most elements taken from アダルト. The "I can't no satisfaction"-part is in there as well, which confirms my thoughts that it was definitely アダルト-inspired. I could definitely hear the MA★PIECE sound in this album as well, but then I'm not speaking of the individual song but the whole full-length. 毒 is sort of like a mix between Destination and 美しきREDRUM, for example.
I noticed on this record that THE KIDDIE has a really awesome drummer, which I didn't really notice on earlier releases. What I liked about THE FIVE -5- is that it was more consistent as a whole in comparison to MA★PIECE. MA★PIECE had a more really good individual songs like MA★PIECE, mr. FIREBIRD, サマードリーム, Nutty Nasty, 美しきREDRUM, Destination and アダルト. The rest of the tracks ranged from OK to meh, which wasn't really the case on THE FIVE -5-. The awesomeness-level on the individual songs is lower than on their previous full length, but the overall consistency is better, therefore I see myself listening to THE FIVE -5- earlier as a whole.
However, that was also kind of a downside for me. If you count the fact that MA★PIECE had 7 (out of 13) really amazing tracks, that's quite a lot. THE FIVE -5- misses that punch, which I like in my THE KIDDIE songs. It's by no means bad, but I missed it here and therefore I need to deduct a few points. However! I wasn't too fond of the single leading to this album, but すき for example sounds a lot better in the album context. Good job on that one, guys.
I'd give THE FIVE -5- a 7.5/10 and call it my second favourite THE KIDDIE album. It was a nice album, but it did not beat MA★PIECE for me. I might change my opinion after a few more listens, so I'm not calling this definite.

lol @ my horrified face. I almost drove into a ditch! As you can see, I learnt to drive an ATV today. (And car a little bit. According to my sister, she counted me saying "omg, help, we are gonna die"  and "help" 25 times each.)
 
 

[NBC] THE BLACKLIST (2013 -)
 

 
Anyone else who watches this great new show on NBC? The first season is finished, and I heard they've been renewed for a second one. I think it's a fantastic crime show, it's really been keeping me on the edge of my seat, definitely one of NBC's better shows of the past few years.

if cali gari wore that all y'all'd be shitting yourselves

Let me start with motherfucking 澤野弘之 (Hiroyuki Sawano). Everything this man touches turns to gold. He has composed for video games and dramas, but is most known for his anime compositions. His most recent (and known) works have been the OSTs for shows like Blue Exorcist, Attack on Titan, Kill la Kill and Gundam Unicorn. He often works together with the same singers, being mpi, Aimee Blackschleger, Mika Kobayashi and Cyua. Here are a few of my personal favourites:
 

(from Gundam Unicorn)
 

(from Attack on Titan)
 

(also from Attack on Titan)

(from Kill la Kill)
 
I also really dig the OST from the Kingdom Hearts games, composed by Yoko Shimomura. I wasn't too fond of the OST of the past few Final Fantasy games, but I've heard that they recruited Shimomura to replace the composers of FFXIII to compose for Final Fantasy XV. The song OMNIS LACRIMA of said OST has already been released on her memorial album last month:
 

 
I'll probably think of more later.

Listening to some of the tracks from the Shingeki no Kyojin OST again....man, this anime DID NOT deserve Sawano lol

I feel like an idiot because it took me a year to finally realize why there are hardly any tumblr users around my age - basically because the site is full of confused kids/young adults trying to make sense of reality through highly delusional rants, memes, and text posts. These kids have no idea who they really are yet, but they constantly cling to all of these ridiculous titles and acronyms. I suppose it gives them a sense of identity...a sense of belonging...even if that sense is questionable. If they only define themselves by titles/acronyms, they won't have a clue who they really are when those things no longer matter (outside of tumblr and the internet). Ah well. In retrospect, I suppose I wasn't much different at that age either.
 
At any rate, I guess I no longer have to ask myself why everone I meet there is usually 15-23 years of age lol.
 
Just thinking aloud here...

^ Seems like someone didn't leave this forum after all....
 
 
But seriously, this topic has strayed away far from its original purpose. Apparently it has now become a question about uploading in general. If people want  to discuss that, they are free to make a seperate topic about it in the discussion forum. But I see no point in continuing this argument here, people just keep repeating what has been said over and over again. If someone has any new suggestions how we can tackle the problem of reposting, they are free to PM us, and we will consider it. But for now I'm closing this topic as it has by far outlived its usefulness.

Oh I see.... this image explains all my thoughts

Aah, looks great Senedjem! You're really talented!

Also you have to keep in mind that just because somebody downloaded it doesn't mean they didn't buy it as well... there are several reasons for this, they wanted to listen to it early before their copy arrived or wanted to sample first before buying, or they wanted to grab a rip from someone else instead of having to go through the troubles of ripping it themselves, ect.
 
just because it had tons of downloads does not mean that all of those people didn't purchase, although I'm sure a lot of them probably didn't but I'm also sure some of them did as well.

"Why stop making art when you have a brain tumor? The best hallucinations come from brain tumors, why treat it?"
 
That's basically the same as what you're saying here because it could make him fall into a serious depression when left untreated and it's going to take a bit longer than a year for him to get out of that. Mental illness is a very serious issue and is more than "going crazy". People with a personality disorder are not crazy, in fact, there are many types of personality disorders that are hardly noticeable (for example, take an avoidant personality disorder; these people are usually just fine until they get into situations where they have to perform, both socially as academically). I'm pretty sure there is someone you know in real life that has a personality disorder without knowing they have it.
 
I think it's good that he acknowledged that he had a problem and is going to seek help. He could've gone on and denied he had a problem but that probably wouldn't have helped, both for his own health as for the band's group atmosphere. Once therapy starts to help him, he could already restart slowly again with band activities, so in cases like these I think it's really important that he's taking a break. Better a break than a disbandment, right?

Maybe if you worked at an electronics store you could've spotted Kyo shopping for washing machines

With you holding that umbrella over the deer it almost looks like something out of a Ghibli movie, haha.

Petting deers in nara!
