TimeOfDeath

This brings back many memories. In childhood me and my brother used to stay at grandmother's village in Belarus every summer for like 2 months. We had a shitty small black and white TV, and most of the time it only had like 2 channels. But occasionally you could get channels 3 and 4, which were much more exciting because they had cooler movies and NO soap operas. I vividly remember dancing around with the antenna trying to find a good position for it. And when I would finally find a good position, of course it would only work well if I was standing in a very certain spot. It was a source of endless frustration but laughs too. We also both had a pocket radio, but only my brother's radio could connect to one of our favorite stations. That made me so jealous. So occasionally I would sneakily listen to it while he was cycling in the forest or something.

Btw can you please respond to my PM? :) You can say yes or no, both would be OK, I just want to have a definite answer if possible. Sorry if that was a weird message...

I used to do this out at my grandmas house when I was a child. I don't watch tv anymore really. Haven't had tv in 8 years.

That's perfect, thanks. :)
If you want, you can PM me your paypal email and I will send you the equivalent of $10 CAD in whatever currency you want.

Nah, don't need that, I'm just glad I was able to help and also I learned something new while making this program so that's even better. Looking forward to what you record with this. :)

Ok then, thanks a lot! It's been running for 198 minutes and is still in sync with the clock. :)

That's why I want one, to check out the pics hot celebrities post of themselves. What an age we live in!

By the way, creating an account with BlueStacks worked. Download BlueStacks and install, then download the instagram APK file and install, then open instagram from within BlueStacks, click "sign up" and enter email/username/password, go to your email account and click the activation email. Now you can use instagram from your computer and delete BlueStacks forever because it's a huge data hog.

Ok thx, maybe I'll try it. How much data approximately did it use?

It used 200+MB while installing and it was really laggy on my windows 7 computer. Plus it loads at startup and auto-updates in the background even if you stop it, so I uninstalled it. BUT, using it to make an instagram account was very easy.

btw, instagram is awesome. Create an account, follow people, go to instagram.com and it shows all the newest pics by the people you follow.

Liked it on youtube.
This reminds me of some band or song but i do not which one exactly.
I also noticed this to have some unconventional rhythm.

Sunshine, what the fuck happened to your bad arse beard? I am personally not a fan of the vocals but the instrumental is really good. Do you have a soundcloud or some other type of music site profile?

Thanks. Krispy, yep you got the Stewart reference. 40oz, wii is cool but I don't play shows by myself (and I'd rather work alone anyway). Springy, I shaved off my Amish beard last year but am growing a new one. Link is http://nostrilcaverns.bandcamp.com (stuff before 2003 has a drum machine, stuff from 2003-2013 has raw sounding drums, recording real drums is an expensive pain in the ass).

I get the band references. I hear alot of grindcore in here, too.

Cool stuff, even though it's not my preferred (death) metal style.

Haha, is it actually synchronized to the video? If it is, I'm so going to post it on youtube with subtitles (kinda impossible to understand anything otherwise).

Thanks for listening, guys. Yeah, I know you're an oldschooler at heart darkreaver. :) Cool that you listened to Hurber, TheCupboard, it was fun to make.

That'd be funny if it was sync'ed but it's not. I used a transcript online and tried to fit the dialogue with the music. It shouldn't be too hard to follow the lyrics with the transcript here. (I didn't use the descriptive non-dialogue stuff in brackets)

lols, no I think it's fine. That cheeseburger vid was actually made in 2008, but then I made it private for a while until I recently made it public and for some reason the date changed with it and I don't know how to change it back to 2008. Yeah, I've gained weight.

surprisingly cohesive actually, at 31 minutes though it's quite an avant-garde endurance test hah.

Your unusual style has piqued my interest, so I hope you don't mind a few questions:
- how long have you been playing guitar / drums?
- why no bass?
- influences? your music kind of reminds me of free jazz + behold…the arctopus

- guitar since 1995, drums since 2002 (drums are my fav)
- I don't have a bass :)
- my fav bands are Normal Love (the 2007 album at the bottom of the page), Hella, Witt (my favs are Happy Birthday and See Attached pt3 from that album), and Thoughtstreams (no website, they broke up almost a decade ago, but it's weird tech death metal/jazz with electric guitar/bass/trumpet/programmed drums. The guitarist played on the first normal love album).

thx for listening, guys

That's a weird looking log-yagi variant, why in hell's name did they put deflectors in front of the reflector?

I got this antenna: http://www.winegarddirect.com/viewitem.asp?p=hd7698p&d=Winegard-HD-7698P-High-Definition-VHFUHF-HD769-Series-TV-Antenna-(HD7698P)&post=

I don't understand a lot of the technical stuff. I visit an over-the-air tv forum and they have a chart for recommended antennas, so I bought one suitable for my area.

The night of August 30th had great conditions for picking up new channels, but they don't last long. I kept turning my antenna by about 10° then re-scanning, then turn antenna, etc. I found 70 new ones, plus a few from the past two days, which means I've picked up a total of 121 channels during the past week. The furthest channel was 588km/365mi away in Vermont.

Started playing GTA3 again recently. By pure accident I found a glitch that lets you run the taxi missions indefinitely. Someone got into my cab JUST as the timer stopped, and the timer just vanished and I was free to keep going for as long as I wanted. I wonder if it works on ambulance missions too. That would be a godsend, because those are a pain in the ass.

Haha, I had completely forgotten about this until reading your post. This happened to me once, too.

I'm not sure if it's nostalgia or just boredom with the genre after it, but GTA3 was easily my favorite of that trilogy. Vice City and San Andreas may have had better features, but they never felt like better games to me. I never finished either of them; I don't think I'm more than a quarter of the way through SA yet, city/region just feels too big for its own good.

Yeah, GTA3 is the only one I finished. I didn't get far at all in Vice City, and I only got to the second city in SA.

Nah I disagree. I think it's shameful for people to be digging themselves into debt to get the hottest christmas gifts. Or worse -- gift cards. The best gifts you can get are ones you can make, especially because they are very personalized that way. I don't believe money can easily translate into how much you care about someone. I think ringtones are a pretty awesome example of a cool, free, home-made christmas gift.

I didn't get anything

ftfy

I don't like spending money on gifts. I definitely am a cheap bastard, and my family knows that. :)

Hopefully they'll feel the same way as 40oz. They probably won't actually use the mp3s as their ringtone, but I'm giving a music cd and data cd of the ringtones, plus a $10 bill.

I enjoyed this way more than I think I should have.

I think a mod should correct the threads title. It should be Rape song.

lols Maes, sick rhymes

I'm worried about you EQ ;)

Tech - I fooled you! The song is actually about a cross-dressing dude looking at himself in the mirror and talking to himself.

Word.
Sounds like you guys are taking cues from the RIO genre, with an alternative bent. I'd like to see you get together with a guy who can do bass and vocals.

Mega-Slum Sunset has some really groovy drums. Dave seems like a pretty solid player, and the drums are by far my favorite instrument in rock/metal/jazz.

The fast version you guys have on myspace sounds much better than the slower version played live. It's surprising you guys would play stuff slower live though...almost every band I've seen, if they do play a different tempo live, it's almost always faster.

Yeah I'd like to jam with a bassist, but I dunno about vocals.
Yeah, Dave's awesome. I can't believe I know him! haha. The original version of mega-slum was intended to be played slowly, but we played it fast just for kicks. I like both versions. I asked Dave if he wanted to play both live but I guess not (he wrote that song).

But what would a tit be without its nipple?

Leslie Ash's face?

I've had a few nip sightings of late. One girl (a friend actually) claims she likes the "accidental" nip slip from her bikini... I'm like.. ohkaaaaaay.... The other was downtown Manhattan... careless at best....

Hellbent - a girl I know was telling me how she likes to "accidentally" show too much leg sometimes, especially when she knows someone is eyeing her up. Women can be dangerous like that, they will encourage men to look but as soon as they get bored of it or you eye up the wrong person then wham, you could be in a world of shit.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

:^)

We've all been there mang. related

Cool, what I've heard (previously) of your stuff has been good!

Awesome, I just listened to shard 10-17 and inside the abattoir, that's kind of what I want to start making once I learn how to play guitar (which I just started a few days ago).

Needs genre tags so I can be an elitist jerk and go "not metal" and close the browser tab :P

Seriously though, properly describing your music may help get a bit more exposure to people who are into it.

I dunno, it's like rocky I guess, sometimes mellow, sometimes jazzy. I don't pay much attention to genres because they rarely help me figure out if I actually like the music or not.

Those Drumheads... have been through it. :p

Sounds a bit like Battles, at least their old stuff.

The computer records your best time and you "race" against it. If you notice, the ghost actually gets away from him from time to time, so there's definitely room for improvement.

The ghost's time is 57"3x. You can get a ghost by driving through a race without hitting anything or falling off the track into lava/water/void.

The Non-NBT world record is 56"98 (driven by me). Sure, there's room for improvement in the video, but I wasn't about to sit there for hours hugging a speaker with a camera on it to get a video with my hands in the picture AND a new world record (all world records have videos for them without hands). The time in the video would be ranked 3rd and getting it on video with my hands in the picture only using several tries is quite an achievement, to be honest (it's only 0"08 behind the 2nd ranked time). This video was just made for fun after a fellow mario karter asked for tips on this course.

Oh, and Non-NBT is a style of racing that doesn't allow boosting through off-road parts of the course for getting shortcuts. NBT is a style that lets you boost anywhere. If you look at the top5 in my video, you see they're all 53 seconds something. Those times were driven in NBT style (but my NBT times are ranked lower than my Non-NBT times).

What's with the weird ghost image?

you race against yourself at your best time. it's a clever method of getting "better" when you can race against yourself.

Hmm sick drumming. I've heard that ultra-fast stuff before, and it's always interesting to actually see someone playing like that.

Dude, you could take on the world playing like that.
