Finished watching the sit-down discussion between Obama and Anderson Cooper along with members from the audience with varying backgrounds/opinions.
An hour and fifteen minutes of decent, worthwhile discussion that further outlines and reiterates the president's strategy and purpose behind his executive orders to mitigate gun violence.
Increased funding to ATF agents, cracking down on the gun show loophole, and especially conducting more expansive/thorough background checks are perfectly reasonable.
Individuals from both sides asked reasonable questions which were met with very reasonable answers by our president. 

Immediately after this peaceful and informative back-and-forth I started to switch to other "news networks"... There's suddenly this explosion of anger that nothing was clear-cut and "Obama is going to take our guns away!". What.



AHHHHH! I can't wrap my head around the individuals who somehow watched this discussion and still refuse to accept these incremental changes to mitigate gun violence.
He LITERALLY repeated over and over that he wasn't going to hinder the public's legal access to guns, yet somehow these conspiracy theorist nutjobs think he's STILL trying to instill
some sort of "totalitarianism" in our government. Are these people deaf?! I shouldn't be surprised with inflammatory rhetoric like this on the news, but COME ON. You're killing me...
 
 

Common sense: Hey man, it's getting late. You should study for your final exam tomorrow morning.
Brain: Okay but first let's watch a horror movie.

After a pretty depressing weekend, this arrived an hour ago. Currently bouncing off the walls in my dorm =D.

Going to try this because youtube can not seriously take music (something dear to all of us) away from us #REVOLUTION 
 
edit: IT WORKS ! Thank You  im using {GB} as my country code incase anyones wondering

Giggity~
 
 
The group song sounds fun, but I can't really imagine myself listening to it on the regular (good live song though).
All the individual tracks sound fine, but as much as it saddens me; I can't get into recent Type-A Royz tracks anymore D:.
At this point I'm more excited over Kiryu than anything else. 

(Not sure if I should include the following to this thread in particular, but it seems relevant enough to include it)
 
For those who want to view region blocked videos in the U.S, download TOR browser and follow these instructions substituting {US} w/ {JP}:

While streaming on YT runs at tortuga-speed, as a free solution it should suffice for now. Also, you can use clipconverter.cc to download said video in HD quality through the browser.
 
I use Private Internet Access (PIA) (paid VPN) w/ region set to Japan in conjunction with TOR and get slightly better speeds.
 
Correction: You can change it to anywhere that isn't the US. Closer the location = better speed (for the most part). I have it set to JP anyway so I can access the UVERworld official channel (not the VEVO channel)

See told ya YTRed sucked

As of late yesterday and today, it seems like anything under Sony Music Entertainment, Victor Entertainment, columbia, anything protected under "eLicense", etc. have been region blocked in the U.S.
Hence, channels like Pony Canyon, Danger Crue, Resistar Records, and nobigdealrecordsCH have had the entirety of their videos region blocked in the process (as of now in the U.S). 
 
The general consensus on varying forums is that this is due to Youtube Red coming out in a few days, considering it's abruptness. (Videos not complying to ToS or corporations blocking in response to new ToS)
 
Additionally suggested by yakihiko, it would be great if we could make a list of the channels affected somewhere on the forum since this affects fans of J-pop, J-rock, Visual Kei, J-Indie rock, etc. 
While region blocking isn't anything new (-SMEJ channels/idol groups), this is probably one of the largest and most abrupt instances of region blocking I have witnessed on YT.
I'm hope this can be resolved in the coming days, but I'm a bit pessimistic at the moment.
 
*Edit: It looks like this has also taken down an innumerable amount of videos with idol groups and promotional anime material (Gundam, etc.). 

Super panic mode right now since a ton of major Japanese music-based YT channels have just been region blocked in the U.S.
Anything under ownership by Victor Entertainment, Sony, columbia, "eLicense" etc. have been blocked.
Channels like Pony Canyon and Danger Crue (under Sony's distribution) have also been region blocked.
 
Apparently this is in preparation for YT Red coming out in 4 days... WTF

Got two 8 GB sticks for my laptop for a total of 24 GB of onboard RAM.
I kinda needed some for video rendering and a bit of gimp work, but it became a bit more imperative recently
since Win 10 is going bonkers with my memory and Chrome/Chromium are being RAM hogs. 

It's a bit overkill now, but maybe I can use it for a VM or a Ramdisk (idk what I would use with a Ramdisk though).

^ I wish we had something like this in the Netherlands. There are almost no abandoned buildings here, because everything almost immediately gains a new purpose or faces demolition. I'd love to explore abandoned buildings, it's quite seriously a dream of me, but there's no possibility for it.

Didn't see this thread until now.

As a long-time Vocaloid listener and avid Project Diva player, "Promise" is definitely one of the top songs in my book. (Spent a month trying to perfect it on Extreme)
The eurobeat "Night" series was also super fun to listen to. 
 
To top it all off, he had recently composed "Stella-rium" which was sung beautifully by Kano. 
 
Him and Deadball-P were my addiction in early HS... Really sad news...

On first listen, I'm not too keen on the chorus, but the rest of the song has some promise. They've definitely evolved into one of the better VK bands, in terms of electronic elements.

Not a huge fan of the cheesy video though. I wish they brought in some of that cool Klimt-esque imagery (like on the limited edition cover) instead.
