Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Anti-Matter Also I agree with you on the music, IDK why they felt the need to remix it but whatever, as long as it isn't really in the movie.

@bimmy-lee
So far from Space Jam 2 trailer I saw, the graphic was great but the music was killing me. It was modern Hip Hop that I really hate to hear, the ghetto Hip Hop style like Kanye West / Sean Paul style. Guess peoples nowadays cannot make very interesting music like during 90's era anymore.

@Anti-Matter I mean, you're just looking in the wrong place. While modern rap and modern pop is pretty much garbage, modern music isn't all that bad. Rock and Metal are still going strong. Same with things like Jazz. You also have video game music, which keeps progressively becoming more and more well done.

Speaking about Looney Tunes, used to be I was really fan of them from Tazos chips during year 1996 - 2000. I also have ever drawn them as table calendar every year. My first attempt was started from year 2001, I drawn some Looney Tunes characters on a small thick papers, I colored them manually with color pencils and I pasted printed small calendar table onto the thick papers. I did hand drawing Looney Tunes calendars from year 2001 - 2003 before I changed into computer drawing on year 2004, I printed my first computer editing of Looney Tunes hand drawing onto disc shaped calendar. On year 2005, it was my first photo printing calendar of Looney Tunes hand drawing that I redesign the hand drawing into simple digital drawing with some random wallpapers taken from internet as the background. And it was my first time i add some Warner Bros cartoons such from Taz-Mania, Tiny Toons. Also, I started to use a logo with design like Final Fantasy style logo started from year 2005 with logo looks like FF V and the Looney Tunes personal calendars only last until year 2011 as I started to get bored to put some Final Fantasy logo style all the time. The ideas that I put into every Looney Tunes (or Warner Bros) calendars such as these trends:

2001 = Simple Wallpaper (full pages)

2002 = Half wallpaper on the left, some Gali monster cloth pattern from Monster Rancher 2.

2003 = Pretty similar as 2002 but the calendar I used was horizontal type, not vertical type as from 2001 & 2002, the months name I gave some Final Fantasy logo style.

2004 = DVD disc calendar, printed on Bufallo paper, first time using Corel Photopaint.

2005 = Hyper futuristic style calendar, FF V logo style, got some ideas from FF X-2, Armored Core, first time addition of Taz-Mania and Tiny Toon characters.

2006 = First square size calendar, first calendar using vector drawing by Corel Draw after got some short private course. Same futuristic style calendar with minimalized background. Some ideas I got from FF VI logo, Capcom Vs SNK 2, DDR, Kim Possible.

2007 = Hyper futuristic style calendar like 2005 with darker color theme, very FF VII.
The ideas I got from Codename Kids Next Door, FF VII summon (Bahamut Zero, Knights of the Round), first time I added with original character design from me as part of Non Warner Bros characters.

2008 = Futuristic calendar with FF VIII logo style, DDR SuperNOVA 2 style background. First time I added Road Rover character and I picked Bugs Bunny with Lola together as they looks like FF VIII logo.

2009 = The different one, back to natural style like FF IX. I used photo paper style and some paper notes as the calendar display with some realistic stationary objects as the decorative things. Very simplistic background, no fuzzy abstract wallpapers. First time I put characters from Xiaolin Showdown and Baby Looney Tunes.

2010 = Back to Futuristic style like 2008 with better design. The logo I used very FF X by using Wakko, Yakko & Dot from Animaniacs as represent of Magus Sisters.

2011 = The last Looney Tunes calendar I made as I started to felt bored with FF logo style all the time and I want to create something original, not copycat from other things. The logo I used very FF XI style with subtitle Anniversary instead of Online. The design was very simplistic futuristic that completely different than 2010 style. The calendar interface I got the idea from Beatmania IIDX with very minimalize background. Unlike previous years, I put the logo on the left for entire months.

@VoidofLight
My favorite music are Eurobeat style musics, 80's, 90's, Eurodance, Bubblegum, Euro Trance, Cyber Trance, Hardcore Trance, Hi NRG, J-Pop, BEMANI games music.
I will turn off the musics such as from Sean Paul, Kanye West, Fatboy Slim, Eminem, Limp Bizkit, etc. Cannot even stand with such musics like that.

@Anti-Matter Haha, we have similar taste in music, though I would add various forms of metal and game music to the list.

I've been on a physical gaming kick and have been buying a bunch recently.

Mario Tennis: Power Tour
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Hotel Dusk
Namco Museum (GCN)
Super Mario 3D Land
Brain Age
Big Brain Academy

Magic DVD Ripper works the best for me. I've only had issues with very few discs.

The main benefit of this though is that it rips DVDs in their native MPEG format (no conversion) so you're getting 1:1 quality as the original. I absolutely do NOT recommend converting DVD files to other formats such as MP4 or MKV. It allows you to dump the entire DVD ISO as well.

There may be better programs out there, but this is what I mainly use.

I can't recall which software I use for Blu-ray, but it's not a 1:1 conversion (though it's very close).

I hope everyone had a good weekend/4th of July (or just a good weekend, if you didn’t celebrate 4th of July).

For anyone who has sent me a response in the last few days, don’t worry. I’m not ignoring you, I’ve been busy (again), and hope to get responses out within the next couple of days, just wanted to update you guys.

I’m going to repost a question that I posted in here a while ago, but I don’t believe anyone responded to it.

I'm thinking of starting a question game, where I ask things like:

• How do you feel about (insert company here) or what do you think of (insert company here) doing with X thing?
• Can someone please tell me why (insert question about company or person here)?
• A scenario like: You're the new CEO of a company your company has quite a few things to fix, what do you fix first?
  These are just some of the questions I can think of.
  I'm wondering what you guys think about that, and if that's something you all would be interested in doing here in the Chit Chat Thread.

Also, I saw this video a couple of days ago when I was scrolling YouTube, and thought it was amusing.

@SM3DASislit

I really like some Konami games but we all know they are not interested in making games anymore. I like their re-releases but that is it.

If I was the CEO of Konami I would definitely revive the Castlevania and Silent Hill franchises. SO many missed opportunities there!

@ThanosReXXX Did it work now?

@Snatcher Nope:

I clicked "quote" to see if I could use your link directly, and from that, I gathered what you did wrong:

You posted the link like this:

While it should simply be the entire link that you'll see if you go to the YouTube page of that video, so it should start with "https" instead of with "youtube". Perhaps the confusion comes from the fact that in the regular comments sections underneath articles, we actually do use the shortcut commands that begin with "youtube" and then the video code.

Had you left out the https part and the second double colon, then it probably would also have worked here...

Anyways, here's your video in all its originally intended glory:

@ThanosReXXX So do I have't to just do the same command but just add the full link?

@Zuljaras Forgot to mention you in my comments catch-up text wall...

Good to hear that the story of the bear ended on a positive note for now, and compliments on the progress of the statuette for ogo. It definitely looks cool.

@SM3DASislit You thought the video was assuming? I suppose you meant to say "amusing"?

@Snatcher No, you don't have to use any command at all on a forum page. Just post the entire YouTube link and the video will automatically appear. Just click "quote" on my comment that displays the video correctly, and you'll see what I've done.

@ThanosReXXX And I thank you again!

@Zuljaras And you're very welcome again. Credit where credit's due, I'd say. I always enjoy your creations.

P.S.

Once you're ready to send it to ogo, just use lots of bubble wrap. That'll help keep it in one piece, regardless of how rough postal services may handle the package.

@Snatcher Cool video, by the way. Really sets the stage for what might just (finally) become a successful revival of one of the coolest animated series that ever existed.

@TheJGG I agree with horror stuff getting plugged. The fun part of the game is that it's suppose to trick you. I still hope people enjoy it regardless, it is more fun not knowing what the game is about going into it. Honestly, the potential spoilers had me worried they would be mentioned in a review. Actual DDLC spoiler: It amuses me how they did the other twist, as the original game relied on you going through files on your computer's actual OS. Haven't played the new one, but saw a clip of it because curiosity. I know the story, and both endings.

Yeah, I will also add that the two new characters are shown at the end of the first movie. Didn't pick up on it until I watched it recently. Planning to see a sequel, so might as well watch the first. Still will say my favorite parts of Boss Baby was Tim's imagination, forgot all about that part. Really a fun element of the first movie.

Hmmm, I wonder what movie that is. Guessing he's gotta go fast.

@ThanosReXXX WHAT? I thought you needed a command, Thank god at least I don't have to remember anymore.
