the whole SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS's soundtrack is the best thing ever created for a videogame imo, I love it.

LOL

fuck u_u

For the last two hours I've been trying to come up with something clever to say to this, but I'm just too overwhelmed by the immense stupidity and ignorance of this statement to come up with anything. 

dude, charizard CAN win against blastoise actually.
this is adapted to the new pokémon game era and stuff, so, if you take the status, the nature of your pokémon and you get perfection on your special attack, etc. a charizard can win against blastoise.

Sorry if this comes off as inflammatory but whatever. It needs to be said.
 
If you're considering switching over to XBOX One now because "Microsoft removed the DRM", I'm here to tell you that's a stupid idea. Remember when the backlash first started in small fits and the PR team claimed - very vehemently at that - that it could not be turned off? Oh, look, they just managed to find a way to. And I'm very well aware that "can't do it" is programmer parlance for "it would be very difficult to do so given the time constraints", and that many engineers will be spending long hours re-engineering the console from the ground up in order to get it ready for launch day, but look, they can and they caved under the nightmare the was our reaction.
 
What's really happening here isn't that Microsoft is "listening to us". That's utter crap. Microsoft was hedging their bets on Sony following a very similar policy with the PS4, so you had no alternative. It looked like Sony would too, with their acquisition of a patent blocking used games on consoles and the whole spyware scandal concerning pirating media everyone seems to forget about.
 
But after the biggest feint in video game history mimicking some Red Wedding type shit, Microsoft is realizing that draconian DRM such as this has no place on video game consoles. The preorder numbers for the new console send this message home. It is something most gamers do not want. We have told them this before. If they were truly listening to you, they wouldn't have tried to pull this in the first place. If PS4 had ended up doing the same thing, this switch would have never happened and everyone would be screwed. The point here is that if Microsoft could have screwed you, they would have. Don't forget that.
 
Another awful side effect for MS now is that the best features of their new console, which depended heavily on the DRM features, now have to be scrapped. The 10 people game sharing group? Gone. The ability to install from the disc and be able to play without it forever? Gone. Being able to give digital copies of games? Gone. The XBOX One has been neutered at the groin and it's way too close to the deadline date to make the necessary software back-end changes, ensure a smooth, stable experience and then add new features on top. The entire approach MS were going for has been thrown into flux. No one should be happy with this. Those that weren't planning on buying it in the first place shouldn't. Those that were excited about the new features now have less features - if any - to salivate over. Those in the middle now have a console that offers less overall and demands a heftier price tag for it.

This is an awful decision and no one benefits.

 

And pray tell who exactly is spamming? Or what constitutes spam? And who is going to be the one that does all the bookkeeping?
This is a lot of extra work for a problem that we don't have on MH.
And quite frankly your entire post comes across as if this has already been implemented and that you are in charge of it all. Your name is not blue or red. It is not your place to tell people how they will be punished.

I loved the inspiration they got from MUSE for the GEMINI trilogy! It's so AWESOME!
Great Album! the best they've pulled out!! the GEMINI trio it's pure EPICNESS!!!

"fakes" LOL
I have so much to say about that statement but I'm too lazy to waste time right now, well, otakus irl.

you're the one starting the suposed drama actually.

Ito, I agree 1.000.000% with you. This is the most awesome drink imo. It's becoming my favorite.

Score: | Despite the fact that Materials Left Aside sounds like a leftover collection, it's got some redeeming qualities.

Materials Left Aside doesn't do anything I haven't heard before. But during a time where originality is associated with good music and following the standard is associated with running out of steam, UNDIVIDE shows that you can play by the book and still come up with something listenable.

UNDIVIDE is composed of drummer Sujk and guitar wizard Leda, both members of the visual kei band DELUHI. Forging an unlikely partnership with vocalist Kirito, the three set out to create metalcore that could rival almost anything I'd hear an American band produce. The difference between UNDIVIDE and your run-of-the-mill metalcore band is that Leda has skill. Not content with simply chugging over Kirito's vocals and Sujk's double bass for four minutes at a time, Leda plays at the level you would expect an ex-GALNERYUS member to be at. At times, you wonder if this is the product of what a band would sound like if DragonForce and Atreyu had a baby.

This band seems to focus a lot on English lyrics, which Kirito sings acceptably. I can understand most of what he sing-screams which I could see being a plus to people who want to understand the lyrics to the songs. What also happens to be another strong point of this band is varied song structure. The guitars are consistently switching it up, providing an incentive to go back and listen to some songs more than once. I should also mention the electronic effects that were used tastefully. Part of the problem with drummer Sujk's solo release Arkhelism was the lack of balance in the mix. UNDIVIDE hits the balance that was missed on plenty of releases before it. They aren't immediately apparent on every song, but the songs would sound that much more hollow if they were missing.

Materials Left Aside does have some shortcomings, shortcomings which reflect both in the band as a whole and in this mini. Firstly, with as good as Kirito's pronunciation of English is he has a very small vocal range. This means that UNDIVIDE can only do so many things before Kirito is out of his element, which makes every song sound cut from the same cloth. Until the Day is a good example of this phenomenon - when the song moves into a different direction and starts getting a little funky, Kirito can't adapt. The song has no choice but to delve back into the heaviness before you realize how much Kirito's vocals don't fit, which leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth over the missed opportunity.

Secondly, Leda's bass duties automatically show that the skills he picked up during his time with Galneryus haven't gone to waste. However, the fact that he's still the only guitarist and the only bassist in the band tells me he still can't manage to assemble a band where people can play on his level. Kirito is prevalent on almost every song but doesn't stand out in any way. Sujk drums in the background, consistently good and switching it up, but the only thing that my ears seem to want to hear is five layers of Leda's guitar causing sonic destruction over everything his fingers touch. The fantastic ending instrumental White Hole is a good example of what I mean.

Following off of my Sujk comment, the drums on this release sound awful due to the crummy production. This is an example of "nothing else but Leda matters" syndrome, which held DELUHI back and is doing the same thing with UNDIVIDE. He's a tad too low in the mix whilst having only one type of loud thwack thwack thwack associated with his drumming and bass kicks. His cymbals have a sort of St. Anger tinge to them and are indistinguishable from the small electronic touches in most of the songs. This is ultimately disappointing, considering Sujk displays on this release how far he has come from his one-speed drumming antics from previous bands.

But at the end of it all, Materials Left Aside sounds no different than any other metalcore release I've heard, which is its biggest failing. Verses, choruses and solos all blend together into one another, much like all the songs do. Once I'm done, I can remember the individual elements that made it good but not what any song in particular sounds like. If it's not memorable, that says a lot.

Considering this is the end of the run for UNDIVIDE, Leda should start his next band by recruiting Meku from GALEYD.

DELUHI was an effing superb band but UNDIVIDE kind of kicked DELUHI's ass

but he's a doctor (?)
