  1. Finished up Amagi Brilliant Park. It was decently entertaining. 6/10

     

    Also done with Argevollen. It had a nice realistic depiction of the military here and a few interesting character developments but the awful production values makes the overall show very boring to watch. 6/10

     

    And finally, When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace. Some humorous moments and incredible voice acting (ep7). Unfortunately, there was a lot of untapped potential. 6/10


  2. If you're talking about the audio playback when listening to music, that all depends on your headphones or whatever peripherals you use. Those apps should work on (almost) all android phones no problem.


  3. Iphone is a great smart phone for beginners. Go for the 5s since they should hold up for at least 4 years depending on the resources the apps demand as time goes by. The only issue with iphones is the lack of option to expand storage, meaning no micro sd card slot. This is precisely why I went for an android phone. I own a Moto G LTE unlocked which has everything I need. It's nothing fancy like the HTC One m8 or Samsung Galaxy S5. If you're looking for a budget android with basic functions, Moto E or G would be the best bet. Try to go for an unlocked android phone so you won't have to deal with all that bloatware apps by the network carriers.


  4. So after a little more than a year, my thoughts still remained the same. Like a couple of their previous albums, it's above average at best.

     

    The tracks I like are:

    REDO - Probably the most refreshing song in this album even though it may sound like a very generic pop rock compared to other bands. Aoi's lovely guitar lines makes me pick up a guitar.

    LAST HEAVEN - I find Gazette's ballads generally pretty good. Really nice acoustics in the verse section.

    LOSS - Kai's drumming really stood out in this song. I like the composition in this overall. It transitions well from the verse to that 2 parter pre-chorus & chorus. Oh those female vocals, gotta love'em. :P

    THE STUPID TINY INSECT - I love the wacky nature of this track. There's something comedic about it while maintaining the heaviness behind it. I'm glad it was short, otherwise it would've been repetitive. Also the one Gazette song where I used to make my AMV (insert shameless self plugin).

    Kuroku sunda sora to zangai to kata shi - The first 30-40 sec made think it was gonna be another random headbanging songs but thankfully, there was actually more substance here. I really like the chorus.

    TO DAZZLING DARKNESS - I'm a sucker for heavy songs with serious tones to it. Ruki's voice kinda makes this underwhelming though, even the female vocals! The breakdown portion is great, it's the one section I always rewind to.

    CODA - It's funny that this outro outshines everything in this album. Finally I can hear Reita's bass lines without pumping my bass volume. The acoustic lines in the last 30 sec reminds me of Sugizo's style which I really like.

     

    If I were to give it a score, it'd be a 6/10.


  5. Speaking of Ubisoft and PC, apparently all of the big new titles were removed from Steam for reasons that aren't really clear. Some say Ubisoft had them removed, other say Valve removed them without informing Ubisoft. I've heard that apparently Ubisoft is having issues with paying 30% of the retail price of one game to Valve and actually want full profits, thus removing their games from Steam. The only way to get the new big titles (so Unity and Far Cry 4) is either through a physical copy or through Uplay, which apparently is riddled with bugs if I heard correctly. People who both pirated and bought Far Cry 3 in 2012 said that the pirated version actually ran better than the purchased one from Uplay LOL.

    It was already back on steam after a few hours it was removed. But that's only in the UK region.
