Neither one is better than the other.
And it doesn't just depend on the person, it depends on what they're singing too.
Yeah, like if anyone tried singing babymetal they'd fail miserably.

I'm actually considering making the premium membership thing real, and you'd be able to donate like $5 to get it. What do you think about that, huh?
So that's how new bans are going to work...

I should consider changing mine I've had this for a couple of months now and I need something else. Maybe I'll put this up again since it's October.

When I found out this guy  had the same English voice actor, I watched Fairy Tail. I was young, you know how it goes... We all make mistakes.

In one of my classes I'm learning about 90s Japan trendy dramas and this is one of the subjects broached.
The author Lukács argues that consumer investment in media culture valuates abstract commodities. In the context of the book she discusses image commodification as exemplified by Japanese tarento [popular, transmedial idols], who are used to sell lifestyles. Lifestyles are displayed through advertised goods and fashion trends, appealing to the viewer as a way to identify with lifestyles and through consumerism express their identity.
one could argue that the nature of advertisement is built upon the memetic expression of identity itself, which in theory would aspire the socially successful.
In a consumerist context I can see this, and the latter part of your sentence is something she evokes in the book. The ability to decode "transmedial" (seeing characters appearing across commercials, shows, game-shows, etc.) messages (though I'd argue this isn't necessarily exclusive to "transmedial" tv experiences) lends to another type of social capital in media culture (or even in pop culture, I'd argue) which stratifies people because of their greater resources of media knowledge. It's that person you know who watches a lot of shows and makes recommendations, they have more influence over your watching decisions than someone who's new to the type of tv genre and doesn't understand the media conventions (style, themes, characters, etc.).

Sometimes someone responds to one of your posts and you don't know how to answer it (though you want to), so you put it off... and end up never answering it? If yes, I challenge you to respond to one of those posts and repost it here. You guys can also suggest things we might commonly do, yet regret nonetheless. Mine

Oh, this reminds me:
Planet earth is amazing. I need to go back and rewatch it. Also Fantasia 2000, now that I think about it.
I should definitely try to watch Cosmos, World at War, and Band of Brothers (Though I hope it focuses on theaters besides Europe and the Pacific, considering I've been beaten over the head with them in all forms of media).

Gardevoir
My first thought when reading this  My favorite and second favorite in the same picture. Today's gonna be good. I really like lightning and I sometimes daydream about riding Jolteon (non sexually). Also, the name is just awesome.

I remember PMing him about something on B.net at some point and I enjoyed the back and forth... Like with Smi.
But Gats actually remembers me.

Honestly, I'm not really a fan of standup comedy :\
Bo Burnham and someone I can't remember having an "r" in their name (not Brian Regan) are the only two I've enjoyed/quoted.
Even then I still haven't seen What and I haven't bothered trying to find the other guy. I only watch standup when my friends make me.

I can actually make the picture out, it's need to be jittering much faster.

I was considering making one... but then I'd have to make one.
Also, one does not simply abandon Ginko-san once he's your avatar.

Majora's Mask, of course.
^^ Also Amnesia: The Dark Descent Hello? Hell...o? (I've only seen a walkthrough but it had some creepy moments) The Metroid series can have it's moments (Chozo ghosts, SA-X, Nightmare (Fusion), Crocomire)

Probably A Link to The Past.
At first I didn't really like the setting or what I was doing and as a kid it was hard to play, but after I got past the second temple I was growing to like it and then when I entered Dark World I quickly grew to love the experience.
There were talking trees, TALKING TREES. It was a new thing for me.

Those kids are up for some fun time i bet
I'm definitely adding this to the list of club activities.
yunoit
Let me join in on this. If there's anything I know, it's permanently scarring young children.
Dammit Zen I mean to scare them, not scar them.

Wait have you talked to your dad about this?? That's creepy as hell
Does your dad stay in your house?
My dad doesn't live with us, and I haven't seen him in years. I have no idea what he's doing. Just as well, he was kind of a dick.
