god i remember how much i wouldnt want to be a DI when going through MCRD san diego. good luck with the training! thanks for the pistol advice too.

thanks for sharing that video adam. that was incredible! i enjoyed it so much, it didnt seem like it was nearly 10 minutes long.

no rush man just noticed the scar symmetry quote in your sig.

goddamnit i was about to make a thread for this. oh well. so what sorts of things do canadians usually do on this day? anything interesting?

not its not going to sleep or hibernating. i havent allowed it to do that for a while since it would always lock up as soon as id bring it back. labarr thats the option i was talking about where it sounded like if i told my computer not to use the welcome screen, then it would require me to enter a password each time. but i just unchecked that box and im going to give it a try. i really cant remember if my one account uses a password. dont think it does

lmao did you see the video in the funny vids thread where he's getting booed on America's Got Talent? I dont know if that was a real segment and not just an advertisement since I dont keep up with him or that show. pretty goddamn funny if it was real.

well do you have an amp that isnt a 15 watt practice amp? exactly what kind of mic do you have? the singer for my band uses a Shure SM57 for vocals yet its also a very popular instrument mic. not expensive either as far as microphones go. you could play the song on your computer speakers and put your amp kind of far away from the sound, then mic it, so the mic would get your bass and little or none of the music. or you could download something called the Weird Metronome. really helpful tool and you and sort of map out different beats in it too. like you put a 1 for wood block, 2 for bass drum, 3 for snare etc and you type out the pattern you want like 1020201020203020 (the 0s count as rests) sorry i get excited about recording. hope we can hear this bass and vocals cover if you get around to doing it. what kind of bass do you have?

Yesterday via automatic updates I got some new update that now requires me to click my username whenever I boot my computer or when I bring it back off of the screen saver. I don't have to type in my password, I just have to click the user that I want to use XP with. Not that big of a deal, just annoying. Does anyone know how to get it back to where the computer will boot straight through to the desktop without me having to do anything? I looked in control panel -> user accounts and it appears that the only two options I have are to keep it the way it is now or set it to where I have to type in a password every time. Any help is appreciated.

i know you werent talking about new CSS. i mentioned that as an example of the concept of people wishing things were like they were in the past etc. my computer is definitely not shit. as i said, my fps were fine before the update. kept all the same settings as before after the update and even tried lowering my resolution and it still didnt help. havent had to troubleshoot shitty fps for a while so now i gotta go do some research...

we can all sit around and wish that things were like the good ol days. but that will never happen. take this newest CS update. theres some relatively minor things im unhappy with, and one or two major things (like why my fps SUCK now when they were great before) but no amount of petitions are going to change jack shit. once or twice a year i blink and realize that things have changed a lot from a certain time period and i wish i could go back and have fun in the same ways that i used to. i could stay angry with it and keep wishing, or i could just accept the present state of things and make the best of it.

LOL a while back i saw a late showing of the movie gothika and i get back home and am unlocking my door to go back in (its pitch black in my house) and my mother was napping on the couch and hears me unlocking the door, and she gets up and puts her face right up to the doors small window and it scared me so bad that i yelled and punched the door. i think i scared her more than she scared me! my VCR likes to turn on randomly. why its still even plugged in ill never know.

the first vid the kid slamming the garage door on himself was the best hahahaha. i dont laugh at most of this kind of stuff though. i disagree with the vid creator advertising at the start that its all stupid people then only showing skating mishaps. if its going to be STUPID people, where are all the clips of people going 100+ mph on motorcycles?

oh i saw the dumb picture and didnt read it. thought it was just useless trolling like 90% of what people post here. besides i dont have the album that song is on

yes indeed a badass band! their sound is so addicting

why would you clutter up the music forum with useless shit? arent there plenty of places in off topic to do this??

These guys have been around for a little while. They've got 4 or 5 records out. this is a song from their latest, Crack The Skye, which came out early last year. not your average metal band, and this newest record is actually pretty calm compared to their earlier stuff. their singer took some getting used to, but i like his voice now. _i65fMJh2pg this one is from the album prior to Crack the Skye, titled Blood Mountain. the song is called Sleeping Giant. I couldnt find my favorite track by these guys on youtube, but FWIW its called Crystal Skull. nnjoXKmO16I

i feel dumb asking this but i dont watch this show nor keep up with the results. was that an actual clip or just a funny ad for it? pretty fkn funny either way.

oh floffy that was today or yesterday evening? when you were like 42-0

nice job dude, you've inspired me. im download this right now and im going to see what i can do with it.

do you mean programming pretty much everything, or are you wanting to record yourself playing a guitar or keyboard and vocals? there might be better software if you are programming synths and such, but for mixing guitar tracks and such, i use Sony Acid Music Studio. They make a cheap version ($50) and then one thats a few hundred bucks. i have the cheaper one and it works out perfect for doing what i do. id recommend starting out with a cheap or Lite version of some software, and when you start getting really good at it, buy something with a big more plugins and post-processing features. I know a lot of people use Audacity like barber mentioned. Ableton Live is another pretty good one that i have a little experience with, but for now im going to stick with sony acid music studio. the industry standard is Pro Tools. I know there are different version of that, cheap to really expensive, but I dont have any experience there. if you want, i can take a screenshot of what acid studio looks like and i can briefly explain some of the things about it?

my eardrums hurt really bad just from watching that. wow

lemonstein that video is hilarious. and your avatar really creeps me out

the blockbuster in my town just went out of business a few months ago. its been here forever so its kinda weird, but highly expected. ^i actually saw something about donating sperm on that manswers show on spike. you have to have a bachelors degree though. and they test your stuff to see if its quality, and i think you have to do a few more simple things, but once you're cleared to donate, you can go and donate as often as you want. im seriously going to consider this as you can get paid decent amounts of money depending on the volume of your donation. good luck with blockbuster though
