Suck my dick, fuckface.

I can't agree with him on the last one, but otherwise fine fine.

That's because, no offense intended, like everyone else who keeps buying these games you're a sycophantic idiot who happily swallows whatever tiresome, un-original, unimaginative, over-rated swollen appendage the major publishers choose to repetitively cram down your open throat year after year.
All the best.

That's not just a mistake. That would be brass players (particularly the trumpets) cramming their faces into the mouthpieces to try and squeeze out notes that are quite beyond their range. Or rather, the mistake lies with the conductor for not selecting music within the abilities of the "musicians." You can hear that it's coming before they even get to the horrendous high notes because there's just no control on the lower sustained ones. So that really lets you know that the majority of them are inexperienced players with relatively weak embouchure.

I wasn't going to watch this but I'm glad I did - Great editing, great quality, Great song and I recognized way too many of those...


same here. every single word of it. :-)

Or you could look at it from the point of view of the has-no-choice kitten, who sees a carnivore that is 20 times its size loudly making noise and big movements nearby, not spotting any decent cover anywhere near close, and instinctually thinking that if it turns and tries to run it will be snapped up as a bitty-sized crunchy mouthful in half a second, so it crams itself into a corner...

tldr; not quite sure "cute" applies.

Procrastination test 2011: how many vids do you recognise?


Only about half a dozen. I must try harder! Or maybe I shouldn't try as hard.

I'm going to look up a few of the others, there's a nice lot of win going down here.

Thanks for the quality.

I was a little skeptical until the beat dropped...

big time *quality

Love the idiot who starts giving Alec a definition of what the federal reserve is, right after he's clearly demonstrated he knows exactly what the fed is. And the guy doesn't stop after Alec tells him once "I know what the fed is, what I don't know is how shutting down the fed affects capital markets in this country" ... the annoying idiot with a mic just goes back into his goddamn narcissistic routine of explaining it. I think it's the same guy at the end trying to cram his worldview into a new binary paradigm (asking him to "endorse ending the fed" even though Alec has just stated three times he doesn't see why it'd be a good thing... asking him to confirm support for Ron Paul, which is kind of an obnoxious question if you're talking to Alec Baldwin). FUCK THAT GUY.

I'm sympathetic but I think many many of the actual OWS protesters are, at best, little wannabe dictators. And: Grassroots movement, MY DICK.

Oh thank you, chicchorea!
I was trying for a crown before 1 year, but I guess this will do.

*crams cake in face* What's a fork?

A year old and a diamond to boot.

Well done Mistress. Fork?

I'd like to cram a few tampons in her mouth.

Earworm's incredible, but recently he's been cramming as many tracks into the one song as he could. It's an amazing demonstration of skill...


not really. most pop music is in the same key and approximate tempo and ableton syncs everything for you.

Earworm's incredible, but recently he's been cramming as many tracks into the one song as he could. It's an amazing demonstration of skill, and his end of year "United State Of Pop 20xx" mashups (mashing up the Billboard Magazine top 25 tracks that year) are a great idea, but his simpler tracks beat them hands down.

The king of all mashups has to be his no one takes your freedom (video link seems broken).

Depending on how much of the actual game (ie. random map generation, creature AI, damage/hit calculations, etc.) takes place server-side instead of on the local PC, it could take a while before a pirate DRM-free version becomes available.

If it works essentially like a not-so Massive MMO with everything happening server-side (which sounds quite possible considering the real-money market for items) there will still eventually be server emulators. I'd say that represents the upper limit to the span of time it will take for a non-battle.net variant.

I'm rather annoyed by this crap myself. I realize that there are a whole lot of people out there who just buy and play games, and don't spend any time raging against DRM (or even know what DRM is). Blizzard is going to be just fine by selling to those folks. But I think that there comes a time when the DRM is just too invasive for the average consumer to ignore anymore. It is flawed by design, and it eventually catches up and causes more loss than profit.

That time has come for a few properties / companies already. I just hope it happens on a larger scale soon so we can start moving away from this DRM system of desperately trying to cram the cat back into the bag.

This guy spends the whole video telling us what the symptoms are but ignores what got us here and how to fix it. No surprise the anti-free market (anti-freedom) people are oblivious to it.

Government and bankers have been running a ponzi scheme for most of the last century: Economic central planning and fractional reserve banking. Bankers have been stealing more and more from us every year through money manipulation and taxes.

Inflation is not some magical or natural occurrence. It is baked into the system. It is direct theft. A gallon of milk has pretty much the same value as it did 50 years ago, yet the price has changed, why? And for those that say, well prices have gone up but so have wages so it evens out. Not true. In the arbitrage between the two, you're always going to be on the losing side. And that ignores the theft of savings, and ignores how bankers exploit that arbitrage. That is why we have booms and busts. Bubbles are purposely induced through collusion and fraud to financially rape the people.

Without the fraud and collusion, there wouldn't be trillions of debt. And tax rates would probably be at the highest 10%. Income tax needs to eventually be abolished. In a free world, you trade your labor for wages. The government has no claim to your labor, so why does it have a claim to the wages you traded it for? Taxing consumption above the poverty level makes the most sense. But that can never be implemented without first eliminating the tax on income. You tax things you want less of, you bailout things you more of. The government taxes productivity (income), and rewards fraud (bank bailouts).

How do we fix this:
1. Eliminate the cancer: The Federal Reserve. Eliminate the whole concept of a central bank deciding monetary policy in general. Allow free choice and freedom of currency. Force banks to disclose their reserve ratio to issue loans. The free market will probably force banks to hold close to 100% of reserves. And banking would also become more of a co-op system like credit unions.
2. Cram down all the toxic loans on the Fed's balance sheet to the fair market value of the home and renegotiate the terms for the home owner.
3. Close down the Military Industrial Complex. End all wars. Close down all foreign military bases. Focus Department of Defense on actually defending threats instead of creating them. Abolish the CIA.
4. Break the global oil cartel.
5. Probably have to break up the big banks and pass regulations similar to Glass-Steagall to keep them from getting "too big to fail". Separate banks from investment firms, insurance firms etc. Enforce real regulations that protect consumers, not the parasitic speculators. If a hedge fund makes bad bets and loses, then they lose. No bailouts.
6. Eliminate the false free trade agreements like NAFTA and GATT. Stop incentivising global companies to outsource production oversees.
7. Eliminate tax on production. (Income tax)
8. Ban health insurance. (The middle man) We would probably have to fully nationalize health care. (It is anyway really) And then work towards a system of free choice and volunteerism.

Probably more solutions, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. And yes, I'm a free market idealist.
