I know I've already replied here, but really, I choose a good book over just about any other media, and good movies over television shows, and then live action over any type of animated stuff. Other than that, cartoons/anime in general really don't have the capacity to hold my interest anymore, aside from a VERY few shows (namely Avatar and (I just got into it) DBZ).
Learn a lesson from my example. I have now been reprimanded several times for feeding trolls. I could say a few choice words to that guy as well, but that's what he wants. He wants you to make fun of him so he can get a few cheap giggles. Shameful, yes, but don't react and perhaps eventually they'll go away.
I agree. Vampires... Do... Not... Sparkle! I mean, I'm not even a fan of the whole "vampire" genre, but I at least have a respect for something well-made. This is not well-made. http://www.shrani.si/f/1j/dM/Axw3xr3/vampire-vs-******.jpg Sorry for the crude language, but I feel it really does apply.
As long as we have a quasi-active discussion section, I'll keep coming back.
Posts Per Day: 4.61 But that's after neglecting my account for several months after creating it, and being inactive or the past week since my internet wouldn't let me get on. So all in all, I post quite a bit. On good days, I can get well over 10 posts per day. premium here I come! Who said that? :D
My favorites tend to shift around a lot depending on how I feel and what's been going on with me. Right now, I would have to say all 3 parts of the Pirates series are equally tied for favorite. Probably when Star Trek XI comes out, it'll become my new favorite, and others that make the list include Independence Day, the Star Wars saga, and the two released Narnia movies.
Stereotypes in general confuse me. I mean, through personal experience, people should see that nothing can be placed into a neat little box. I bet you anything that the majority of the people bad-mouthing gay people are religious. Not that all religious people bad-mouth gay people, but it is in religion that you find the strongest outcry against homosexuality. That's one of the reasons I left the Christian faith. I couldn't stand the intolerance of many Christians.
Hot dogs. I have them almost every day here at college, since it's pretty cheap and pretty decent-tasting. Along with that, I have ice cream, yogurt, and a root beer (usually) - all from food services. Stuff I make myself? pb and j, plus kool-aid mixes. It's about all I can make. I have the rare ability to burn water.
The one advantage I can think of about living in Korea (to me, anyways), is their pro gaming communities. Other than that, I don't really know much about them, but I'm willing to bet that they don't censor websites in Korea like they do in China.
Never a banana peel. Ice, yes, slush, yes, oil, yes, but never a banana peel.
Well, you never know what might come in handy in a post-nuclear war world, or a post-ecologic disaster world... :D Besides, it's good exercise.
You know, I just noticed something about that bottom picture... that guy's blocking wrong. Thanks to the endless hours of documentaries and fantasy books I've read, if you block with the blade of a sword like that, after 5 minutes, it's gonna be too notched to fight with. Yes, I'm a nerd. I have actually practiced with real (blunt) swords before, and I always make sure not to make that mistake, cause it costs a ton to repair. NOTE: When I say I practice with swords, I don't dress up as an anime character and try things that are physically impossible. I do things that are actually useful (or would be, if anyone still used swords... :D). It's pretty much the only exercise I get.
Scientific thought and it's advancement. Seriously. I want to see sci-fi stuff happen in my lifetime (particularly some kind of cheap life enhancement - I want to live for a VERY long time, so I can do and learn as much as possible). It's my single greatest (realistic) dream. If we're going for daydreams as well, I would love to be telekinetic. That'll never happen, of course, but it doesn't stop me from dreaming.
Eh, I like some of their stuff, but not all of it. I'm a very strange music listener. The only bands I have ever loved completely are E.S. Posthumus and Dragonforce. The first time I heard them was Planet Hell on a Runescape glitch video (the 6/6/06 one, if there are any Runescape players in the crowd), and I loved it, but could never find it again. I never even learned the name of the song. After I came to Youtube and started poking around the KH videos, I heard a song and said to myself "you know, that sounds familiar...". It was Nemo. in the peak of my playlists' lifetime, I had maybe a dozen (?) Nightwish songs on it. Before Youtube came through on a copyshit spree, that is.
You're referring to the more action-y style? Yea, I try that one myself, but I don't consider myself good at it yet, by any means. I still need a lot more practice with Vegas, particularly masking. I haven't been able to edit much lately anyways, what with AMV block hitting hard, my comp being re-formatted, and then having tons of schoolwork and final projects/exams piled on top of me, but with summer on the way, I can expect to get TONS of new videos out. If I don't spend all my time working for a new computer, that is... lol. I don't know, I guess I've always liked that action style, and Pwilliard was really the first guy I ever saw who used it well. I mean, he introduced me to SO many bands, I can't even name them all (my favorite, though, being Dragonforce. I now have every single song they've released, and I don't give a crap about anyone who says their fake. They still sound good). When I started on Youtube, I barely listened to music at all. And, after a few months, the most common name on my playlist was pwilliard. You may frown on the "mainstream, overused radio songs", but I do enjoy many of them. I may not like the way some of the bands seem to be going, but I do enjoy some of those types of songs. Not to mention the fact that he was the main reason I started to make AMVs in the first place, and he taught me just about everything about WMM downloadable effects. He is probably the single greatest influence in my Youtube career, and while other AMV makers may have better styles, he still has a place in my memories. Oh god, now I sound like a fangirl (even though I'm a guy... O.O). /tl;dr. I type too much.
Nah, I wasn't ranting entirely at you, either. I personally would like more views only to hear more opinions on my stuff, in order to get better. But for the moment, anyways, originality does seem to be kind of dead. I mean, the vast majority of decent stuff out there all seems to be what they call "flow", which basically means A) it needs a fanfic to go along with the video, and B) it ignores the majority of the beats, making for a generally less exciting video. I mean no offense if you enjoy this style, but I prefer something that will get my blood pumping, and it doesn't seem like anyone does it anymore. I seem to be one of the last who even tries.
I'm not crying over it. I'm simply stating that, while he may not be God incarnate, he's certainly not crap. Regarding people who use unknown artists, that's the exact reason they don't get views. If people don't know anything about the artist, song, or AMV maker, what's going to make them watch the video? Not to mention that Youtube has the worst search system possible for finding any sort of quality in the vast sea of foaming crap that is 90% of the KH fandom. Besides, there is nothing original in the KH fandom anyways. I mean, everyone keeps whining about how "Oh, such-and-such song is overused" and crap, well, so is pretty much every song that has anything to do with KH. So is Sony Vegas, since everyone uses it to make good videos. So is Kingdom Hearts, for that matter! Pretty much every effect you can think of has been used at least once, also. Originality is dead. The best you can hope for is to find something good. It doesn't have to be original. /rant. Sorry for the tl;dr.
Wow, this thread is still up? Isn't it like, 2 months old? YOu would think that everything that can be said about the pointlessness of the question had already been said (no offense to OP).
Yea, my Firefox has autocorrect, and it seems to think that Obama is actually Alabama. L O Frikken L.
I'm kinda the same way. I guess it's because people actually listen to me here, yet almost everyone my own age I meet IRL is a shallow materialist. So, my entire social life is online, basically, with most of it on this site and ScrewTube.
