haha i did here nok novum actually. i liked them on facebook edit: That 5-4 rythym at the beginning is really cool though edit 2: argh actually i think it`s 11/8 for the first bar then it changes. pretty intricate song . Edit 3: Haha ok I got it it usually is alternating between 7/4 and 11/8. Pretty cool. I kind of want to join a math rock band just to push my limits on the drums.

theyre ok, theyre not quite my style, i think thats more of codys thing

i like more up tempo, melodic than stuff like nok novum

but Josh I highly recommend Dir en greys new album, i listened to it front to back last night, every track is awesome. Its less brutal than dum spiro spero, less folklore-inspired than uroboros, but with the up tempo and intricate rythyms of them, and back to the crazy ass jrock melodies in the chorus in nearly every song, it`s awesome

i called Shaw a few days ago to terminate my internet service with them because Telus is offering a special for new customers. 50mbps for $40 per month. they matched the Telus price :smiley: so i’m still with Shaw but Shaw is ass, it cuts out a lot.

It should be noted that the Shaw stuff is for NEW plans. Old plans are grandfathered in.

Shaw mentioned that the old plans will be seeing a price hike in the 10% range sometime in the future.

it’s already come into effect. i was on the 100mbps for $90/month but they hiked it up to $100/month so i dropped down to the 50mbps plan instead. internet prices are ridiculous nowadays. when i was younger, my internet bill was the cheapest bill and my cell phone bill was the most expensive bill. it’s completely opposite now and my phone bill is the cheapest one.

aww, i just checked to see if it’s on spotify but no dice :frowning:
I’ll have to youtube it or something

I’ve been listening to a lot of new retrowave/80s dark synth stuff like this lately

do any of you guys know anyone who uses lightspeed or teksavvy ISPs? they do ADSL and not cable, but it seems like they might service my area and they offer packages in the 25 mbps range…

ADSL kind of sucks though, right? since i live in the boonies i don’t really know the practical speed differences between ADSL and cable

just move into civilization ricky!

ADSL is satellite internet right?

I think my parents have it. It’s terrible, but the d/l speed is probably better than what you’re currently getting.

Upload speed is god awful though.

Edit: Nevermind, I’m obviously thinking of something else.

no i think ADSL uses the phone lines (but doesn’t tie up your phone), as opposed to using cable lines

supposedly they can get 25 down, 5 up? probably an optimistic measurement, i’ll probably call them and ask more about it

i read about these companies in that reddit thread peter linked, hadn’t heard of them before, sounds like some people are pretty happy with them

Who’s going to Master Series?

Show of Hands?

Me!

i thought it was more of a question of who isn’t going?

im gonna go

here

i’m planning to go

CCG guys can i make a very specific request? can you pleeeeease set the SF4 voices to japanese? i don’t want to hear english voice fuerte and evil ryu all weekend

I wanted to but i decided i’d just wait to come in march since i was planning on going then anyway.
It saddens me, but i’ll still watch it online :frowning:

i was thinking the exact opposite. im sure theres more cases of success that support shitting on everybody moreso than being mr nice guy.

also, im going to masters series. gonna try and get off work early on fri but i wont be entering any tournies i dont think.

my theory as to why canadians get fucking shafted with phone/internet bills… you are all too polite all the time. try complaining once in a while lol. for reals though i may just have to cancel my shaw too. although in honesty in the say 2.5 years weve had it i only really remember it being down on a small number of occasions. less than 5 for sure. Ive heard telus can be pretty unreliable, is this true?

CEOs etc very very often have psychological profiles that are similar to convicted sociopaths. Capitalism promotes it.

Got it. I will set every voice to Japanese EXCEPT those two!
