  1. Today I was tricked into searching up the definition of Trypophobia (DON'T DO IT!!! IT'S A ONE-WAY TICKET TO NOPE-TOWN!!). Worst mistake of my life.

  2. I find myself watching Invader Zim only after realizing I failed to cancel my Amazon Prime trial before it expired, thereby being charged a yearly subscription. On the bright side I get unlimited movie/music streaming and 2 day free shipping ( ¬‿¬)

  3. http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/688 Well, I can say with certainty that some fans were definitely expecting this one. It answers some questions but also raises more.

      This is exactly the reason why mentally unstable children and adults shouldn't be allowed to watch Psycho Pass like shows.

      Exactly. And due to these incidents like that episodes like psycho pass extended 4 get censored!

  4. Well, the title says it all. Studio Ghibli has elected to close its animation department(sort of) due to what is apparently a string of financial losses, mostly due to the underwhelming box office performance of When Marnie Was There or something along those lines. Apparently it all started with rumors but eventually it was confirmed by Toshio Suzuki himself that the studio would be reduced to only trademark management. Some sources are claiming that it is only a temporary break but this is still unknown. Here are some sources regarding the matter: Hypable: http://www.hypable.com/2014/08/03/studio-ghibli-announces-closure/ FlickeringMyth: http://www.flickeringmyth.com/2014/08/studio-ghibli-closes-doors.html First Showing: http://www.firstshowing.net/2014/studio-ghibli-announces-they-will-be-shutting-down/ and here's the apparent confirmation from Toshio Suzuki from the Oh-Totoro Tumblr: http://oh-totoro.com/post/93700803450/studio-ghibli-announces-closure-toshio-suzuki If anyone else has other sources, please feel free to share. Update: Here's a new Kotaku article supporting the "break" scenario that Ghibli might take. http://kotaku.com/studio-ghibli-is-not-dead-yet-1615520289
  5. Link for those who haven't seen the new chapter yet: http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/687 While I have my reasons why I like/hate Obito, I can't help but find my feelz conflicted by this chapter. It felt......bittersweet? Something like that. I guess the following image describes my state of mind the best:
  6. So I got a small chemical burn on my hand today at work. Nothing serious that required a hospital trip(I treated it with some medicated cream) but man does it hurt. It feels as though a million nano-sized scopiorns are stabbing me every second. It sux!!

      where the fuck you work at? o.o" that sux man,i once burned my hand outside at night because i picked up one of the sticks that had been used for the fire... xD

      I got like a second-degree friction burn from the airbag when I was in a car accident recently, and it felt about the same. I feel your pain. D:

      Apollo

      Ohhhh, I had a bad chemical burn in my second year of college. It was concentrated nitric acid, and it was painful as hell. I still have the scar, which happens to be shaped like the Pokémon Onix.

  7. Rewatching the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I forgot how stupidly hilarious these movies are.

  8. It's come to my attention that my local movie theater will be screening DBZ Battle of Gods on a Thursday. Thursday's are only $5 for students, like myself. I liked the movie so I have high expectations for the dub (but DBZ usually never fails to dissapoint)

      What did you enjoy? Was it that the entire story revolved around pudding or the complete undeserved hand-me power-up? Apparently this movie serves as a reboot for a future continuation.. but where can the honestly go beyond the power of a 'god'?

    3. Tsukumo Yuma

      Tsukumo Yuma

      Wow, tickets at your theter have student prices, and only cost $5, if tickets cost that here, I would so go to see this movie again.

    4. Tsukumo Yuma

      Tsukumo Yuma

      Enjoy the dub, hopefully it is as good as the sub!

  9. The trap level in Himegoto is so so wrong but it still feels so.....wrong? WTF?! Never have I felt so conflicted since my delicate eyes laid sight on Hideyoshi Kinoshita from Baka and Test.

      I have been meaning to check it out, is it good?

      I agree completely.

  10. Today marks the 2 hour anniversary of my succesful Orange Chicken dinner, that I made myself. Good lord that was more delicious than I expected.

  11. good lord man. Brazil vs Germany, 1-7. That was a massacre.

      didnt catch the game thanks to TI4, but man, that score :/

      Netherlands for the win though

  12. Here's mine. Not very cluttered and the taskbar is hidden on the left with my core programs. Wallpaper is a custom one that I made a while ago. update: I added a second pic with the taskbar shown for comparison. Not a big difference to be honest.
  13. Why oh why did No Game No Life end like that? Don't get me hyped up for a second season goddamnit!!

      @Koby Really?

      @Seraph I don't even think they've announced a 2nd season yet. But I'm sure it'll get one. I for one thought it was pretty f'n awesome.

      @Emrys if most likely will get a dub.

      I feel the same way Koby, I checked it out, it was just average, it lost my interest fast.

  15. From my DeviantArt description: "Two days of work and the Look Dev part is somewhat complete. Lots and lots of stuff was hammered down into the scene. Bump maps, gloss maps, changes to the PS&S setup, color correction, VD(the pseudo fog you see in the image on the right), reflection tweaks, lighting tweaks, and all sorts of stuff. This takes care of Part 1 of New Horizons. Part 2 is the fun part, not to mention the longest part. Right now, I've set up a basic scene. Now it's time to customize it to my liking. The following will detail what it is I will be doing for Part 2: -I will up-res the geometry in the foreground and mid-ground in Zbrush and replace the textures in that area with textures sourced from Google Earth Pro. This new geometry will be sculpted to add more detail and to counteract the wacky bump map distortion. -The entirety of the textures(besides the ones from above) will be upscaled to around 16k. Right now I'm currently making use of 8 8k maps mapped accordingly to the geometry. -I will most likely ditch the physical sun & sky system for individual HDR lights, as I don't want a day scene. -Cleanup in MARI -Fog addition -addition of other assets such as trees, grass, flowers etc. In addition to all of that, I will be including a special....someone within the scene. This someone is the reason I am calling this New Horizons. Part 2 will take me some time to complete. I don't know when I'll be done with it so I'd rather not put down dates, but it's gonna look hella rad!!.....hopefully." So officially I'm now halfway done. To explain the above in more detail: Zbrush (as a sculpting tool) will allow me to effortlessly add more detail to the geometry (by making use of its ability to subdivide geometry [this can be done in Maya but it's not as straightforward]). Sculpting will add more details to the cliff, more so than what I could possibly get out of the displacement map alone. Notice how only the foreground/midground will be up-resed. The background will not be dealt with save for the increase in texture size to 16k from 8k. I will use The Foundry's MARI, another 3D program to clean up the textures by literally painting them onto the geometry(that's how it works). The MR PS&S system will be discarded. I don't want this to be a daytime scene so I have no further use for it....sort of. Atmospheric effects such as fog will be added as well, replacing the Visibility Distance tweak that I added. Trees and all sorts of flora will be added to give the world a sense of scale. Right now its pretty hard to judge the scale of the scene. It's actually quite big but the lack of smaller objects (save for the whackass rocks (that I will be removing later)) brings it down. As for the special someone, it's a 3d model I've been working on.....well, STILL working on. I won't reveal anything else on her (there, a freebie, that's it!). Oh, here's a little extra from my files. This is a screen capture of the shading tree that I created just for the terrain (the one on the right image above):
  16. WORK IN PROGRESS!! Quantum V: New Horizons From my DeviantArt description: "As promised, I have been working on New Horizons from last month up until today. While I didn't include the progress from May 26 (the start date), I'd thought it be fitting to show where I am right now in the pipeline. The left image shows the scenery, which was created using USGS Satellite Data of the Horseshoe Bend in Arizona - using Global Mapper to change the data to two TIFF files (one for Orthoimagery and one for Elevation) - - which were then scaled down to 8192 x 4096 px (as Maya can only use up to 8k) within Photoshop. After some other modifications the two 8k TIFFs were sent to Maya to be used as a diffuse map and displacement map respectively. - I then quickly created a simple bump map with Filter Forge inside of Photoshop and connected all 3 maps to an MIA_Material_X shader inside of Maya (as I am using Mental Ray for this). A Physical Sun & Sky was set up. The Exposure Simple node connected to the camera was then swapped for an Exposure Photographic Node, which allowed the camera to be tweaked much more. I rechecked everything, including making sure everything was in linear workflow mode and then I rendered the scene, which is shown on the left. As for the right image, this shows the scene after I went back into Photoshop and removed all the shadows from the original map, which was resized from 49k to 32k . An Unsharp Mask was then added to well....sharpen it up. I then saved this 32k map (for later use, see below) and I also resized it to 8k x 4k. I then reconnected the diffuse to this new map, moved the Sun's position a little lower and then re-rendered, which gave me the image on the right. Right now I'm working on Look Dev (the text above explains the process). I'm trying to hammer down the overall feeling and look of the terrain. There is still much left to be done though. On my to-do list: - Visibility Distance MEL script addition -Reflection and lighting ratio tweaks -Color Correction -Swapping out the bump map for a more concrete and more solid looking map -Changing the 8k map to the 32k by splitting up the 32k into 8 8k maps. These will then be applied to the geometry via a layered texture. -Changes to the Physical Sun & Sky (swapping out the actual sky for an image but leaving the lighting intact + other stuff) -Gloss map And that will complete 1/2 of New Horizons. The next Work-in-Progress Chapter will detail all that I will do for the last half." So yeah, I'm not even 1/2 there yet with this one. At least 1/4. lol.
  17. >http://youtu.be/gvcaFZ7Lhm0 Quite frankly the best rock remix of "U.N. Owen Was Her" I've heard so far. I can't really compare remixes because they span various genres but in metal/rock this takes the cake!!
  18. What could I do with $15k?

      I don't even remember watching the 2nd season. Actually I probably haven't. Been waiting for FFF to upload the BD.

    - now tell me, would it not serve as a great intro song to RWBY? I think so.

  21. I wonder how many people have listened to this version of U.N. Owen was her?:

    It's such a simple trance tune but it sounds wicked. Like 90s-00s trance.
