Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

well it was really laid back day.... time to sleep, gotta wake up early and fill some more bags/boxes with my stuff for the moving day(it's in 9 days very close to christmas good time to go to a new house huh?)

@Gioku I will keep checking up on that then

Alright guys, I think I have our next official Chit-Chat contest: the Awkward Family Photos Contest!

Just head on down to awkwardfamilyphotos.com and pick out what you think is the best! Whoever finds the funniest picture wins! (keep it SFW of course, though)

Ready? Set? Go!

@Gioku But what if we have our own awkward family photos that we want to share, would that count

Also happy Saturday the 14th, on this special day, Fred Rechid goes into the dreams of Fryers and revs them up.

Also, it's snowing, here's some holiday snowing music............just cause.

@SheldonRandoms: Haha, I suppose if you really want to, lol.

Also, tomorrow I will film A Very Bumpity Christmas! I've borrowed a really creepy-looking singing Santa Claus plush toy from my Grandma to use in it - it's gonna be awesome!

Also just posted this on my channel; it was made by my friends and I thought it was amazing! have a look if you'd like~

what is everybody doing right now

I've been doing piano for almost a decade now, and I can safely say it isn't as fun as I thought it'd be...

i dabble a bit in piano. i'm self taught, because i can't find or afford a teacher, but its pretty fun and neat. i have musical experience. i play trumpet and erhu (also self-taught. cant find or afford a teacher). erhu is sort of like a violin, except it only has two strings and it's chinese.

@TheOneHacker It's called a Hu Qin in English (I'm Chinese, and I know my parents know how to play/own one).

my story with the erhu is a sad one. i first heard about it on this website! i found it on the music forum. https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/general_discussion/a_music... .
it begins on post #1,193. KAHN (really miss this user) perked my interest in the instrument. at the time, i wasn't a user, so he asked the question for me, in a way. what followed was a discussion with user @MidnightSky , and i was convinced to buy the erhu. so i instantly fell in love, and ordered one all the way from China. i started playing, i had no experience. i bought beginner lessons online at learnerhu.com for $100, and i made some progress, but it only got me so far. i know a little bit about how to play it. i'd call myself musically talented,but i can't keep self-teaching. i began looking for a teacher, but alas, no one in my local area can help me (no surprise there, it's not popular in America). and i'm only 14, so there's only so much i can do.

EDIT: i found the original thread and post for the erhu! https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/general_discussion/a_music...

@TheOneHacker That's what happens with a lot of archaic Chinese arts; they've been kept alive for so long because they're so far from western conventions/traditions.

it really is a beautiful instrument,but as of now it is collecting dust because i don't know what to do with it now. i really want to play it, but i can't fully appreciate it without knowing how to play it.

@TheOneHacker The best advice I can give you is to think of the thing as a cello, since its the closest western instrument analogy I could think of.

A Very Bumpity Christmas is now a thing that exists!

You have done it again @gioku again a really great stop motion !

@Gioku Charming and positively dripping with personality as usual for a Bumpity short. Great work, Bro!

Another great video @Gioku you can do so much in so little time keep it up !! looking forward to the next one!

@Metroidlink @Mickey @Nathan_Wv10 Thank you guys so much! I'm glad you all liked it!

...I need to stop reading things about/looking at pictures of the 2DS... the more I see it the more I want it, so if I don't end up getting it for Christmas... I'll be so disappointed... I keep having dreams about it too, lol (although for some reason in my dream it was able to close).

I just really want to be able to play games with my little sister! That's been my dream, like, forever!

so, my cousin came to my home these days(he's still here) and thanks to him I've decided to pick Pokémon Y this christmas(he has Pokémon X and is the only person I know to play locally, since we both like multiplayer more than single player I'll go with Pokémon Y, plus I'll be able to get Blazikenite XD, and he will get MH3U)

@GuSilverFlame: Awesome! ...I'm going to have to challenge you to a battle when you get it; you know that right?
