    hide's cover is actually pretty awesome

    and glass skin is very artsy and contemporary, they've done much worse.

    (I like it more than cover for lotus for example)

    Ok, hide's isn't that bad, I just don't like looking at it, lol.

    As for Glass Skin, just because it is contemporary does not make it good. I find about 90% of contemporary art to be fugly (and because of art history classes, I've seen a lot of it).

    oh? what's the matter with Beats by Dr.Dre?

    I am still considering to get one actually, can help to enlighten me?

    Sure thing. Beats is an example of having great marketing. Beats by Dr. Dre, just look at the name. You are buying headphones that are branded by a Rap artist...he is not a sound engineer and it is entirely marketing. What you are getting when you are by beats are good looking headphones that are insanely overprices and sonically terrible. I have spent some time in a store listening to them, if I could describe them in one word it is "bloated bass." The bass is very very strong, but it sounds very muddy and when you hit the volume very high the distortion is very obvious in the low end. The fact is that you are far better off buying a pair of headphones from a different company for half the price and will sound twice is good. I guess if all you care about is looks...but I hope to god this isn't the case. I would be astonished if Dr. Dre actually used this for his actual recordings and mastering.

    On that note, Beats are from a company called Monster Cable...and if you know anything about them this should be more than enough to make you want to buy anything from them. They lie about their products (high end HDMI cables lolololol) and one of the most socially irresponsible companies I know of. They will sue anyone and everyone that tries to use the word Monster in their name (for example: Mosters Inc, Monster energy drink, and even small mom and pop places like Monster mini-golf).

    Essentially, don't buy Beats headphones. End of story [/rant]

    I am gunna go ahead and claim this as the most overrated movie in a while. It was a good movie, but I wouldn't even call it great. It might have been even better if the snow base scene wasn't so dumb, I was lol-ing (in a bad way) the whole time I was watching that scene, it was so cheesy, reminded me of something I would expect from an old James Bond flick.

    Sennheiser, Audio Technica, and AKG all get a bump from me.

    I can't speak much for Klipsch, I only know their speakers and I am not very fond of their sound.

    As for Skullcandy, if you want to look stylish for a relatively cheap price, this is what they do best. If you want the best sound quality look elsewhere.

    All I have to say though is for the love of god don't buy "beats by dr. dre."

    First off, I would like to clarify to everyone that this is Jake and my creation. With that out of the way, lets move on.

    Dai, you did a good job at being a webmaster. You put a lot in to this project. But I never felt that I handed over the right to Tainted World to you. When you left us, put me on limited profile of facebook and blocked me on aim, I felt like I had been betrayed, that Jake and my project had been taken from us. But in the end we regrouped, moved on, and revived Tainted World. You were a great help, but we have moved on with out you and found people that we have gained trust in that have taken your place. I now consider them to be my friends and have put a lot of work together with them.

    Now you come back to us apologizing, I understand that your situation sucked and you needed a lot of help. But you hurt us, we felt betrayed. You now asked us to put our precious project, our community, back in your hands when we already feel like we have been going strong with out you. I don't even think I need to explain why I was apprehensive. You have something that we felt was ours, the TaintedWorld.net domain. We had been waiting for the domain to expire and then repurchasing it, seeing as we had thought that you had dropped off of the face of the planet. So obviously we would (as still do) love to have that domain name back. But we weren't ready to give you back the power you had on the original TW. Even working with you felt like it would have to be like walking on eggshells. It was obvious that you were going to have to gain our trust back before we wanted you on the team. When I told you that, it seemed like you understood what I was saying and where I was coming from.

    Around 24 hours later is seems that you have flip flopped. Not only are you refusing to give us the domain, but you are setting up a site to rival ours, more or less treating it like we had to join you to continue. Honestly, I felt furious, like not a word said has sunk in. My rage has calmed and I am trying to look at this clearly now. I have no problem on you working on a project, and I can say that I really hope that it turns out amazing. I am a huge fan of jrock, and if you make a forum and database that is amazing, I will be the first one to use it and enjoy it. If you make something outside of jrock, I hope turns out awesome as well. Just please don't take our own work and turn it against us. I understand what Tainted World means to you, it means a lot to me if not more. But you left it behind, and Tainted World moved on. If you want to slowly gain our trust back, fine. If you want to move on and do something better, more power to you. But please don't try and take Tainted World from us. It's not your's and you can't have it, although you can be apart of it.

    I know I am going to get hate for this, but 9goats' Tanatos. I just didn't enjoy the album at all, nothing enjoyable on it at all.

    Also, Fake?'s switching on X, which was easily the worst fake album ever and had really crappy production quality for what ever reason. huge disappointment.

    I must say, there hasn't been much Jrock this year that I have loved.

    D's 7th Rose, Fact's In the Blink of an Eye, D'espairsRay's Monster, and ABS's Abingdon Road were all good, but nothing that blew my mind.

    My favorites of this year are mostly non-jrock:

    Eluveitie's Everything Remains as it Never Was, Ereb Altor's The End, Karma to Burn's Appalachian Incantation, and God Is An Astronaut's The Age of the Fifth Sun were all great albums.

    Sadly though, I still feel like this year was a very weak year for music. Hopefully that just means next year will be amazing.

    The steam holiday sale has been going on for the last few days and it is going to be going on for the next few, with new games everyday. Anyone who is interested in computer games really should check it out, even if they don't have a great video card (there are some awesome, not very graphics demanding, indie games).

    Since the sale has started I have bought three games, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for $7, Just Cause 2 for $7.50, and Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale for $6.80...these deals have been freakin' sweet.

    Really, if you have steam, check it out. If you don't, download steam right now and buy some games, lol.
