Mmm, those are some delicious looking instruments. I've never had any experience with a double neck guitar, and I know nearly nothing about bass guitar pickups, so I don't think I can help in choosing one of them, but I'm digging that finish on the Ibanez.

>>38029

Oh man, if we were talking separate guitars and basses I'd want the SG guitar and the steiny bass.

Since that's not an option, I'd say go for the steiny, purely because I hate the sound of a mudbucker pickup in a bass - I like my beesu to growl, not thump. Also, headless guitars are the coolest. Paul Masvidal plays one and he's pretty much the coolest motherfucker around.

I have no understanding of music theory whatsoever, so I'm not even sure what interval means (space between notes?). Do you read sheet music, or do you do it by ear? My guitar teacher is really fond of picking things by ear, but it's so hard, and I feel practically tone deaf oftentimes.

Thank you! It's also always nice to be applauded.

>>38029

The Ibanez looks nice, I'd go for that.

>>38038

Yeah, the interval is the "distance" between two notes, so you can count it off on your guitar fretboard in terms of "tones"/"steps", but as you start to learn a little more about music theory it might become easier to think of "tones"/"steps"/"frets" in terms of thirds, fifths, major, minor etc.

Like anything with music, you can lean to pick out intervals, then chords, then songs by ear. I started by learning a few simple guitar solos (because it's easiest to hear single notes) from pop or rock songs, this will help you to understand that "Oh, this sound I'm hearing in my head corresponds to this interval, which corresponds to this shape on the guitar".

>>38040

I can hear if I'm playing something wrong, and I can pick out some generic single-note riffs by experimenting. Good thing the Japanese like their pentatonic blues H scales. Makes it so much easier. Come to think of it, I'm not too horrible at judging that kind of stuff. Guess it pays to play three songs very often.

So there are only two unique votes for okuu? And here I was thinking she's finally getting some support.

>>38012
As one of the legit okuu votes, this makes me sad. Precious hell raven deserves more attention.

>>38012
There are actually a lot of votes in this thread.
I counted them up:

Unique votes Cheating votes
Suika 7
Okuu 5 2
Tenshi 1
Aya 1

I'll start working on the flash now. I'll give a link to it here when it's done. I hope it'll turn out well.

For now, bye bye~!

>Suika won anyway.

My plan to distract people with hats was a failure. Ain't that a kick in the head.

>>37962
Boards aren't just hosted for the hell of it. The goal may be something as simple as 'allowing people to discuss otaku-related topics'. It doesn't have to be some grand purpose. Discussion in itself is generally a contribution to whatever goal an internet community has.

>>37964
>I remember /prog/ doing this using a telnet client, even before omegle. Hardly a new and exciting idea.
Oh? How did it work out?

>>37962
You're not being serious, right?

>>37969
I'm always serious when dealing with people like you, since none of you can take a joke.

>>37966
It was pretty cool but only /b/ used it.
The rest of your post makes me want to laugh, but again, you're probably not joking.

That, my friend, is the question of the century.

Read this, it's pretty much the best essay out there on BBS anonymity. If you disagree with it you're just new.

>>36651
Well, as a second opinion, Deadlands has both an amazing setting, and it's a perfect system for such a setting. Deadlands Classic, that is, not the new Savage Worlds version.

'Course, if you hate westerns, it might not be for you. But I've been always kinda neutral about them, and it's my favourite thing to play.

>>36661
I'll check it out then. Thanks much.

>>36677
How did it go?

>>37431
I'd like to say that we play it every week and have a ball or whatever, but that's not the case. Lately everyone's been super busy, so there really haven't been any time which fit for everyone. Not to mention that learning a new system takes time etc.
It sucks. Thanks for your advice though, I really like the setting, but I just don't have anyone to play it with...

;_;

I've always considered this one of the best Touhou piano albums. This song in particular is just wonderful:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0325YkV-X0

I could use some denpa.

Believe it or not it makes great workout music... or just music I like. I wish I read more in to the denpa thread from old bun. I hope that denpa guy is still around, and maybe he might help me out?

>>37342
Here I am (OP from denpa thread). If you need good albums, check >>36945. Also anything from MOSAIC.WAV, ave;new project, etc. Is there any denpa artist or album you like?

>>37380
Another good album is Nanahira's ゴキゲン77ﾟ↑.

I uploaded this for someone the other day, might as well share it here too since it seems to be rare.

More information for anyone interested.

>>37233
Thanks. I don't think I'm getting the job, but you never know. And it's not really a job I want anyway... just until something better comes up.

>>37224 I hear you. That is also why I loved Evangelion, all of that mecha was cool too, but the real deal was that they were all struggling with their identities. Even though I prefer animes with older characters evangelion had them younger but mature, or in the process of maturing.

>>37243, >>37232 I hope you did good with the interview. One step at a time. Also, what drove you into it?

>>37244
The interview went fine, the problem was I don't have any experience in the field I was applying for (retail sales). It's also a shop at an upscale mall, so I'd have to deal with rich people all the time, and I've never done that either. But honestly I just need the money while I look for a real job. A lot of stores are currently hiring seasonal temp workers to stay on the next two months.

>>37245
Good for you!
I might get a job soon if I'm lucky, also in retail. The human resources dude said he would check if anybody needed help, probably a good sign, hopefully they're not fully staffed...

>>37229
I'm actually kind of like this with my sister.

>>37119
According to their site, they got Kazuya Matsumoto as the producer so I guess they shouldn't have any problem getting funds. He was one of Gainax's most talented producers so I'm sure he knows the right people already.

>>37126
That's great! I'd really like them to succeed, and that won't happen without gold.

If they like Miyazaki/Ghibli stuff, get them to watch Mushishi. It's got similar themes about natural and supernatural stuff, and it's just about the only anime I'd show to someone who doesn't like or watch anime (with the possible exceptions of Cowboy Bebop and Kaiji, depending on the person.) It's got a wide appeal is what I'm saying. And it's not full of itself like Miyazaki's stuff can be sometimes. Sorry, yeah. I like his movies, but the man's got a tremendous ego and that comes through in his work sometimes.)

>>37231
I find Tatami Galaxy, Detroit Metal City and Samurai Champloo to be good anime for the purpose of indoctrinating the clueless. Satoshi Kon and Takahata Isao's films are also really swell, if you're not looking for a TV-series.
Spice and Wolf, Trapeze and Baccano are really nice for second-stage viewing.

>>37251

Aye! I saw Samurai Champloo when I was a tiny boy, and even though it was pretty much my first anime, I loved it. I don't know too much about the others, though, but I think, as you said, that Baccano and Spice and Wolf are good for those who have seen a couple of anime. I showed the first three episodes or so of Baccano to a friend of mine who is as mainstream as they get, and he really liked it. I also watched Tokyo Godfathers with another clueless friend, and he loved it. I might show him Detroit Metal City.

I thought I was pretty decent, seeing as I could beat 1-1 without trouble, and get to the Tower Knight without too much difficulty. I killed all the crossbowers, and started shooting the TK. Eventually I ran out of arrows (I'll have to buy ten shitloads of those), so I started meleeing him, running between his legs to evade frontal attacks. Sadly I got stuck, and he OHKO'd me, robbing me of 2-3500 souls. Fuck that guy.

Having a good time, though I have to admit most the boss fights are much easier than I expected. Except 2 in particular.

Executor+Dragon Slayer, and Gravelord Nito. Esspecially Nito. My god I don't see how that is possible without having high endurance and stacking heavy armor with poise.

And no, I'm using a guide. I guess knowing everything works from Demons Souls helps.

Some of the cheaper tricks from Demons Souls don't work any longer though. No more letting an enemy reset to repeatedly backstab it (ala the Old King from 1-1), no more invincibility while rolling. Timing L2 seems to be easier though, which is nice.

>>37085

Thiss is how I kill the blue-eyed knights. I just shoot them, run, and repeat. Fucking wanderer class.

>>37085
There are still invincibility frames on dodging. However, if you get hit after them and you're still in the roll animation, it counts as a critical hit.

These reviews are more entertaining than these VNs will ever be

>>36726
What I got, If you get the same should you just roll another novel?

Anyo's Love

Antique Ivy • http://community.livejournal.com/antique_ivy/57188.html

Based on the community role play Antique Ivy, this is a visual novel mini-game focused on two of the characters, Anyo and Leo. To learn more about Antique Ivy, check out http://antique-ivy.deviantart.com/!

March 25, 2011 • Visual Novel, Girl pursues Boy • 2,770 words • all ages • more information and downloads...
--------------------
So you play as the girl Anyo and a friend tells her that some cursed spirit is attached to Anyo and stealing her life away unless she kisses her "one true love" in one day. You then go on a date with your guy friend Leo who, depending on the choices you make, may or may not be the one true love. That's pretty much it.

There's three endings (bad, Anyo, Leo), but they're all about the same. No matter what happens, Anyo is saved (it's unclear how in the first two).

Exile Gear Raynar

Datie • http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2516

A young woman named Kuni's dream of becoming a robot pilot comes true when she's invited to the base home to the world's most powerful robot, Raynar. This is a throwback to Super Robot anime from the '70s, the protagonists are good and brightly coloured, the antagonists are evil and dark, and the heroes yell out all the names of their robot's attack.

Aug. 16, 2007 • Girl pursues Girl, Kinetic Novel • 20 minutes • ages 16+

============================================

So basically, a shitty cadet named Kuni (the protag) is inexplicably assigned to be the partner of an elite warrior (Kyung-Soon) so they can both pilot a giant super-robo, against the wishes of the elite girl; the whole thing is arranged by a maverick coach and the council he works for is initially opposed to the idea, but eventually the inexperienced girl warms the heart of her partner after they train together for a few weeks (2 lines of writing advances the plot that much). Then they disobey some orders from the main council to destroy a new enemy robot that appears (they choose to save the civilians in the town instead, because that's just how they roll), get discharged and start living together, where we discover that our heroine has apparently developed a crush on her demure partner. But then tragedy strikes! After returning home after looking for work, our heroine find a note explaining that her partner has run away! But there's no time for her to worry about that, as the giant robot they didn't destroy from before attacks the town again. As Kuni runs around worried about Kyung-Soon, their badass giant robot (called Raynar) returns to her side, apparently called to her side by plot magic; a fierce battle ensues, but Kuni is knocked away, but luckily she lands next to Kyung-Soon, who soon joins her in the cockpit and apologizes for running off.
