Right now I am reading the The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks...it started of really slow and kind of dull, but at about 50% of the way through it has picked up and it is kept me thoroughly entertained. It's not quite a The Name of The Wind, though.

I gave up on The Last Remnant after like 3-4 hours. I hated the play style of it, it just didn't come off as even remotely fun imo.

Old photo warning! Since taking this picture I have swapped out to a completely different power supply. I am probably due for an upgrade here soon, but this guy is being such a trooper that is hard to justify it. -SPECS- Intel Core i5 760 2.8GHz Corsair H60 CPU Cooler Corsair HX750 750 watt psu EVGA P55 SLI E655 Motherboard 8GB DDR3 1600 90GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD EVGA GTX 460 Superclocked 768MB 2x1tb drive, 1x3tb drive, 1x500gb drive

Only 45 in my steam library, but I still have the same problem XD

Welcome to the group! Glad to have you here!

Russian Circles is easily one of my favorite bands. I am sooooo excited for their new albums...I have the vinyl preordered

Here's a few odd song names: Aural Vampire - Economical Animal Superstar Creature Creature - Phallus Phaser Deadman - Lunch Box "294036224052" - Deathgaze And then one band name that makes me go wtf: Bump of Chicken

Welcome to the party! And your English seems pretty good to me.

I've been meaning to download that. I had my entire iPod on shuffle today and three tracks from ef's last album came on and I listened to every one...I think it is a sign lol. And yes, if you are willing to share I am more than willing to receive XD

I keep thinking of Oresama and how crappy that was and going WHAAAAAAAAAT?!?! XD

Quick impressions on the suggestion you had: Light Dim and Gallery Six - I have been keeping their bandcamp page open for the last couple days, I will get around to buying their most recent release soon here XD. I dig it, reminds me a lot of The American Dollar Matryoshka - These guys are plain awesome. That said, I don't know if I would call them post rock at all...I have really been loving their most recent album, though. In Each Hand a Cutlass - Solid stuff. It's nice to have some post rock that doesn't feature super long songs. I wouldn't call a masterpiece, but I thoroughly enjoyed their album. I -think- White Boxes might be my favorite track off of the album Time for me to give some recommendations The Evpatoria Report I feel like they are the best band and the slow and dark style of post rock. There is just so much to love about this song. Sleepmakeswaves Just try and not fall in love with this song, I dare you.

The Evpatoria Report - Mithridate

Chemical Pictures - Praparat for me. I don't know, I just plain love that song. 1) AILE - Season~fuyu haru natsu aki~ 2) Mannequin - CHAOS 3) B'z - Kireina Ai Jyanakutemo 4) The Human Abstract - Elegiac 5) NEGA - Tamerau kotonaku blank wo Kizutsuketa Yubisaki wa 6) UnsraW - Platonic Bich 7) D - sui midori no tsubasa My Bloody Valentine - Wonder 2 9) Crossfaith - Technologia 10) GLAY - Zutto Futari de... I'm going to go out on a limb here and pick Mannequin's CHAOS...but if any other The Human Abstract song off of the Digital Veil would have won lol

Yeah, I think the general consensus is that you have some good tastes in music Welcome to the forums! I hope you stick around and chat for a while

Welcome to the forum! I think you will fit right in

To say that I am frustrated by this thread is a bit of an understatement. The attitude of some of the members make me feel like you paid something to get this service and ended up not getting exactly what you want. This this is something that exists and you enjoy purely because the love and money of other people. The negativity is stifling. I kind of get the impression that a lot of people think the "staff" is kind of a faceless corporation, that we are in our positions for the power and the glory or some shit. The people on the staff are here because they love this site and the community. They volunteered their time to try and make this a better place, no matter the amount. We are in agreement that the staff isn't as active that we all once were in our prime. But neither is the community. Pointing fingers will get us no where fast. Throwing people out and reshuffling is purposeless if it is done to just appease a few people. Lets say that the staff posts a lot more...does that give us the active community that we want? Maybe yes, maybe no. And it will not happen at the flip of a switch, it will be a slow burn. The success of this forum rests on everyone here, and absolutely none of you are obligated to do anything. If the love isn't there, then MH will die. Will the staff be redoubling our efforts to try and make this community better? For sure. Will we try to mix things up by adding another mod or two from the community? Most likely. But I am not so sure that this is something that can be forced. We will do the best we can to get things flow...there are still people that love this place over 6 years since Jake and I first started it, and while things may be massively different from now then, I plan on continuing to keep this place running for as long as possible. The only thing I ask is that you treat the staff like the hard working people they are. Pretty much everyone on the staff here is an incredible person outside of the forum as well and life can get in the way of this fun little place. Side notes: If we were judging you all on how much you care by the amount you donate to the site to keep it running, we would have closed down already It costs $60 a month to keep the servers running. Every dollar you give goes DIRECTLY in to paying the server (as you will have noticed when you use paypal and notice who you are paying - dreamhost). I hate to break it to you, but that is the way the forum has ALWAYS been. a majority of the people that visit will never post and just take the downloads. Hell, I don't even know if this forum's community would even exist if it wasn't for the download section.

squarrel? Is that like 2 squirrels fighting? I prescribe to the theory that you should have the absolute least amount of subforums as possible. It is impossible to give everything a home...it's kind of like trying to give genre labels to bands, and we all know how fucking ridiculous that this. This isn't about being anally organized, it is about creating just enough organization to be conducive to conversation. When you have a super active forum with thousands of posts a day, it makes sense to split things up so that threads don't immediately get washed down the page. But MH isn't in that kind of situation, about the only forum that is active enough to push a new post to the second page in the matter of a day is the downloads forum. There are also massive negatives to having too many subforums, they massively limit exposure. I would argue there are places where subforums are hurting us now (specifically the news->events subforum). Making people drill down even further kills so many views to any specific thread in that subforum...I would say as much as 75%, if not more. Needless to say, I do not think we need a reorg when it comes to subforums. I am fine with the discussion of reshuffling or adding new forums if the need arises. Kpop: There are two problems I have with this. One: I reject that idea that you can not properly discuss or download Kpop as things are now. Absolutely nothing is stopping you. If you want to post it, talk about it, download it, it's all good Two: We are not a Kpop site. If there is one thing that I have learned about forums over my past 10 years of actively visiting and running forums, it is that they work best when they are specific to a certain topic. In our case, it is Japanese Rock. I will never try and stifle discussion of Kpop, I will welcome it with open arms...which as I just stated above, you can already actively do on our site. But I will never make it our focus, just like I wouldn't agree to do it for any other genre of music.

Whoops, I meant 1600MHz for the RAM xD

Welcome! And I feel your pain about campus mail systems...they kind of suck lol (at least they did at my college).

Welcome to the party! Hope that you enjoy your time here!

My system: Intel [email protected] (I really need to learn to overclock) Nvidia GTX460 EVGA P55 SLI E655 2GB x 4 Corsair DDR3 667MHz In other words, not even close to either of yours XD

What do you think about BF4? I really liked 3, but I think I would need a bit of a PC boost to really enjoy 4.
