I use Oz as the name that shows up on my profile, but there are dozens of users with the same name so it is pretty much impossible to find me with that. Does it work through this link?

I just remembered that I haven't yet asked for an invite. So, anyone? My username is zachoswald.

No, I don't know the guy. Sadly too many fans of the 48 family tend to latch onto just one member and when she is out of the game, they take their leave from the fandom - or write stuff like this guy does. When people go out of their way to express that they do NOT like AKB (in circumstances...

Dome Karukoski's The Grump : The Grump is the film adaptation of an insanely popular Finnish novel series about a grumpy old man who complains about everything modern and how all good old traditions are disappearing. The original novels are basically the man's inner monologues with only a sl...

I have only read the first book, but I decided to get all of them to avoid another cliffhanger.

Made a few more orders: - Nick Drake's Five Leaves Left and Bryter Layer (I already had Pink Moon so I decided to complete my collection of Drake's studio albums) - Jackson C Frank's Blues Run the Game compilation - The entire Hyperion series in English (I already own and hav...

Someone needs to combine that with Palpatine's "UNLIMITED POWAAAAH".

The first one that comes to mind is Rose's dancing avatar. I can't remember others right away, but there have been others as well.

^ We used to have a rule against them. Whoa hold up time out. We can use gifs? This is the thought that has passed through my mind recently every time someone has used an animated avatar. I recall that one could only use them when they were as subtle as Jimbo's avatar or that alligator avatar Za...

I don't really get the rampant rage that Frozen causes here. It is a pretty good film that fulfilled a demand that had been around for a long time: a genuinely good Disney original that actually finds the company's main target demographic. It is no masterpiece, but it is a pretty good film t...

I liked the first Bourne. Each sequel exagerrated what came before and a certain character's death at the beginning of the second one felt cheap and manipulative. Furthermore, Greengrass' shaky cam direction was just nauseating in the sequels - especially when compared to Liman's more c...

Yes, I could expect that from his other works, speaking of which, is it worth watching Kaiba? I watched episode 2 on a convention a few years back, I can't actually remember anything but the animation looks great. Absolutely. In terms of mood and pacing, Kaiba is the polar opposite of Mind Life...

Now that I have my new PC set up, I started my do-it-all playthrough on Skyrim (after trying out lots of stuff with different characters on PS3), tried out the first Witcher game and played through Gone Home in one session. Gone Home was an interesting experience, to say the least. Although ...

I hadn't actually set my wallpaper yet so I ended up desperately searching for a new one. Although I love the Only Yesterday wallpaper I have on my Mac, I want something different for the PC. Since I couldn't find wallpapers of Japanese comedians and variety shows I checked if there was anyt...

As I mentioned in the RML thread, I have finished building the PC, but it did certainly not go without a hitch. The only reason I had to wait for my parts so many days was that the SSD drive that the store didn't have it in store. To top it off, they accidentally sent a 2.5 inch version of the s...

I can imagine that it is much easier the next time since I now have concrete experience of all the basics. The LGA socket's cooler was quite straightforward to install in the end, but it did have me shouting a couple of cuss words as I was trying to attach it. Make sure to check the manual to se...

At least the power switches and ports are not located in iffy spots.

Nah, I decided to go with a more run-of-the-mill case that was forgiving for a beginner. Although I can peak into the system thanks to the many small holes the case has on its side and top.

After two days of wrestling with PC hardware, I have finally put together my first PC! I'm posting from it right now. I will be posting pictures in the Building a PC thread tomorrow. A minor RML related to the building process: I noticed that I was missing a data cable for my HDD drive (sinc...

Glad to see you liked it. Mind Game is a film that becomes even better the more you watch it and think about it. You could say that it features Yuasa's insane imagination and manic vision in its rawest, purest form. His other work seems rather tame in comparison, but that may have more to do wit...
