Ace Of Spades

Sent a random picture from an arts festival to a local newspaper that does a "random picture of the week" section. Said section gets +1,000 submissions every week. Mine got picked. Found it absentmindedly sifting through the paper today. Yay.

That sounds like it was tailor made for this thread. Hell, I think Robb's done that exact joke in more than a few of his "rants".

I lost a cousin to that a few years ago. I guess that's what he deserved for attempting to play it safe. *ba-dum-tish* Another quality Yahoo! article as usual.

She's doing okay now, asleep at the moment. We really couldn't have afforded to take her to the hospital-the cost of it would have made us immediately homeless. I'm doing my best to keep my head up, but it was easily the most traumatizing thing I've ever experienced. I lead an exceedingly easy and low-key life, so this came as an unparalleled system shock. I'm still reeling, and coupled with the fact that I can't do anything to help right now, it's...just...not good.

My mom had a seizure tonight. She's okay, but I honestly thought I was gonna lose her for a few seconds. Now I just have to sit here while she's asleep and hope she makes it through the night okay. It is going to be absolute torture.

Art of the Dress (Club Remix)-Archie V. Ponies and Progressive House. Yay.

Only occasionally. I don't remember much else about it really...been out of the whole religion system for so long that my memory has gone kinda fuzzy on it, and all that sticks out was that introduced me to a genre I'll probably never "get".

That looks like it would be awesomely fun! It's the signature dark ride DCA both needed and deserved all this time, and is a great compliment to DCA's other E-Tickets! Now I really hope I can make it out there one more time before WDW becomes my closest Disney park.

Herpaderp!

I just want to point out that there is almost zero difference between Christian rock and regular rock. If I posted 3 rock songs, two being Christian, one being non Christian, you probably couldn't even tell the difference. The only real difference is that Christian rock bands never curse. I bet you've never even sat down and listened to a Christian band because you feel like their all "preachy". To tell you the truth, pretty much Skillet is the only one that does that. Actually, I spent all last summer listening to an entire spectrum of Christian rock (thanks to my very heavily religious extended family with whom I was staying all summer). I'm not one to condemn whole genres, but I couldn't find myself getting into or enjoying a single song played. It all sounded so fake, so forced, so blase'. Like it wasn't about the music at all, like they couldn't care less about musical creativity. It was all just about rehashing the same message over...and over...and over. Sure, there was some variation, but I felt that I'd heard it all long before from "normal" rock bands, and that what I was listening to was exactly the same thing, just with bland, squeaky clean lyrics. I suppose, in the case of Christian Rock, that's more-or-less the point, but whatever-I found much of it to be like nails on a chalkboard. I even accompanied them to one of those enormous multi-day theme park music festivals last summer while accompanying previously-mentioned extended family) and gave a few of the bands a chance live (as I find that nearly every song can be improved when played through enormous speakers to an awesome crowd). I walked out of every performance after the third or fourth song, wondering why I'd even bothered. I've given then genre plenty of chances...hell, I've been waiting for Christian Rock to impress me since I first had it thrown at me when attending Church when I was young, and it never, ever has. I'm not saying your liking of it is wrong, or anyone's enjoyment of any genre is somehow wrong. I understand the argument you're trying to make as well (it's quite the same as the case I made for Dubstep just above it). I'm just not one to enjoy the genre...at all, and I have my reasons that I believe are sound.

Thank you, Mr. Ouimet. Pave over the features! How about adding more garbage cans? He has a point though, the area toward the new building seems a little cramped. Perhaps moving everything back another tile for a bit more space? And you can't say that Ouimet is paving over everything, he just started this year. Let him settle in before bashing him, jez. Agreed, that was somewhat uncalled for RD. I personally agree with Yamez and RCT2 Day, it is rather cramped and removing that fountain might help.

Cya later high school, HELLOOOOOO COLLEGE!!!

Anyone else think this thing is gonna deliver one of the most insane ride experiences ever? I mean, the Skyloop coasters Maurer makes are pretty similar, but not many of them even come close to being as intense looking as this thing is shaping up to be.

I don't get why people have such a fanatical hatred for Dubstep. Granted, some of the stuff on the amateur end of the scale sounds like a trash compactor crushing a live vulture, but when done right it's actually pretty good and inoffensive, and can even have a bit of emotion to it when done just right. Then again, I reserve the right to hate most Christian Rock with a passion, so I guess I'm not one to talk here.

On a progressive house kick right now. Really digging the work of Archie V. and Avicii, but looking for more stuff in the genre. Anyone got some good suggestions?

^^&^ Welcome to TPR! The chat's pretty simple to work out, and everyone in there is super friendly. Seems like you already got it to work though. As for the rest of the forums, just hit reply whenever you want to add to a conversation, hit submit, and you're done. Pretty simple

Absolutely this. The first time I saw it, I really was just on the fence about it...it showed promise, but was never that interesting to me. But after watching it again a few months later, I totally got what it's trying to do, and to me, it became infinitely better. Give it a few weeks, then go back and give it another try. Since you know the basics this time around, you can focus more on the detailed bits of comedy, and believe me, the movie is crammed full of them.

For me, the only games that really stood out to me at E3 were Watch Dogs, The Last of Us, and (very especially) Forza Horizon. The rest seemed rather meh.

That update also shows the first multi-coaster map!

^^^ & ^^ Guys, we all love pony, but lets not try to overrun this thread, yeah? It's things like that that people dislike bronies for doing. Anyway, watching E3 right now, so for only Forza: Horizon has impressed, but Need For Speed should be on soon. Now *this* is a great way to spend an afternoon, even if most of the games suck.

You Can't Always Get What You Want-Rolling Stones

Case in point: "Super Speed Cool Cool Bear...Come on! Don't hesitate!" Oh come on, that's one of the very best names! By all accounts, China's best (worst?) example is the oft-mentioned-in-this-thread "10 Inversion Coaster."

I know it's only a restaurant, but even still, you've just gotta love that creative naming. Extra points for improper tense! On-topic: Can't wait for some testing footage of LL:DOD. I know it's gonna do exactly what it says on the box (...drop and slow down) but it'll be really cool to see it in motion regardless!
