Faiblesse Des Sens

Examples?

Just got Enslaved in the mail via Glyde. Excellent condition. Only $13 after fees and whatnot.

Except that if enough people like something unpopular it becomes popular. Hipsters only like popular things. Thus, irony is the most important facet of hipsterism. So yeah, arguably, playing COD4 would be hipster. Not sure how I feel about Halo 3 being hipster. It's neutral.

Aren't you poor as fuck? Why do you have an iPhone?

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. No doubt about that one.

That whole album is such an incredible return to form. No more fucking around. No more experimenting. Nothing but straightforward, kick-ass direction.

I've been playing through Warhammer 40k: Space Marine and it's pretty fun. The only annoying part so far has been fighting the chaos soldiers. The game works best when it's a mix of melee and shooting and you basically die instantly if you try to use melee against them.

Who the fuck takes that literally? Though I guess you're right with that second paragraph in terms of finding some support for it outside of mere words.

More. Though I definitlely thought that was in there flowed well with the game.

Lol @ whomever jumped to that conclusion about Weezer. Listen to other post-emo from the time... it's nothing like that. Anyways, I've always disliked that article because it tries to combine every single thing that people have ever attached to the label to. They don't trace it musically or thematically, but simply through incorrect labels. So yes, you are right, it was simply rock, pop, and alt rock. Post-emo was always outside of that. There wasn't really anything mainstream. There's some rather large exlcusions from the article, actually all from the same crew. American Football and Cap'n Jazz. Two huge names in the post-emo genre. Cap'N Jazz in particular was about as "post" emo you could get before American Football took that sound to the area that Mineral and SDRE (who are in the article) did as well. FYI: The term "post-emo" or "midwest emo" is generally what is used to refer to mid-90s emo that dropped (most) of the hardcore punk elements that it originated with. Anyways, the nuance to something like "scene" would indeed be the clothes. "Scene" was used because it wasn't about the music and the variety of genres these "scene" kids listened to was high. It was post-hardcore, pop-punk, a tiny bit of emo/post-emo influenced bands, etc.

I've heard the Aegon part of that... but not with those two. Hmmmm....

Actually, people called it "scene" because emo was an incorrect label. Emo already happened in the early nineties. In the 2000s, it was called "scene" due to "scene kids." Basically, kids all about the image associated with many post-hardcore acts from the time. I have no idea how the "emo" label got involved. I guess it was the "emotional" subject matter (and honestly, when hasn't music been emotional?) about relationships and the makeup some of these people wore and the public image of always being depressed and wearing black. I mean honestly, it's not unbelievable to imagine just why some people confused goth kids and scene kids.

Interesting. Interesting. Not enough evidence to be compelling as some other theories I've read though.

Honestly, you expect these protesters to support war, especially ones that are unjustified? Also, there are MANY veterans involved in these protests. They're upset because they feel like fucked over once they get home.

I beat Uncharted 3 last night. Great game, slightly less exciting than Uncharted 2, but IMO a much better story and character interaction than before. I liked the harder difficulty (as many others have mentioned, you have to make use of all of your skills) but I didn't like the lack of puzzles. Not enough pressing select and scratching my head.

There are suspicions of him being a Targaryen bastard?

Your PS3 breaks and you get all mushy and shit...

No. Definitely not. The Wii U will not have the same level of functionality is your home computer. No, what these services do is provide a network to use for such as playing online, friends lists, a place to go with customer service issues, etc. You can buy Steam games on a disc. You can buy Origin games on a disc. If DD is happening, it will not be because of this, this will just be part of it. We'll have to wait and see. With Portal 2, PS3 and PC users can play together. There are some 360/PC cross-platform titles. It's possible, but it's a matter of if they'll actually do it or not. I won't speak for Origin but Steam games have DRM that's not at all intrusive. Prices vary greatly for digital content as a whole. WIth Steam, prices are always the same as the disc's MSRP and then get price drops over times. There are sales as well. One thing that Steam is well known for. On Steam, this is typically independent from Steam (might be different with Valve's first party titles.) You don't run the games in Steam, but rather, Steam is a launcher that then runs over your games. So titles function the same with or without Steam in terms of the files themselves. Steam has a cloud service that lets you backup your games online that is tied to your account. You can also backup your games at any time. Assuming they use one of these services, it will be a matter of how deeply integrated it is. If Origin or Steam solely becomes the online aspect of the Wii U friend codes will be abolished. Unless Nintendo is REALLY stubborn about friend codes and sticks them in alongside Origin. Anyways, this is all speculative, but I hope I've brought you up to speed about what we already know about how these services work currently.

This reminds me... I always hear talk of adjusting the FOV... but why do developers use that FOV in the first place? I never hear anything positive about it, but rather, it's something I only hear about when a dev seemingly fucks it up. Obviously, they're making a conscious design choice to do it.

Yeah... but then you get people wanting to put their apps on the SD then you have to worry about SD card speed and shit like that. This keeps it simple and straightforward to avoid problems.

You probably call all mp3 players iPods.

Amazon?

What app store?
