  1. I want to respond to this normally, but then I see your avatar. As a die-hard Iron Fist fan, I don't know how to feel about the fact that you've got one of the worst Iron Fist covers as your avatar :(. Living Weapon was a complete letdown, especially compared to the awesomeness of Immortal Iron Fist.
  2. Yes. Nothing is ever going to be worth the brain damage caused by two politicians arguing.
  3. Low, low, low blow. I'd argue that a fretless bass has a better sound, but they're also that much harder to play. In the hands of someone that knows how to play them, a fretless Warwick bass sounds absolutely beautiful. Jaco Pastorius used a fretless bass, and he's widely considered to be the most influential bass player who ever lived. Heh.
  4. One of our vocalists can play the keyboard, but she doesn't have an actual keyboard with her, so that's off the table for now. But as a bassist, I kind of needed to develop a wide stylistic base (heh). I can do most styles of jazz (Latin, blues, swing, and funk, primarily), and rock rhythms for bass are generally pretty straightforward.
  5. I'm actually trying to start a band consisting entirely of chemical engineering students at my school, but weirdly enough, we haven't been able to find a guitarist. We have me (bass), two vocalists, and a drummer on board, but no guitarists.
  6. So, uh, I somehow aced my math test? I did really well on it, which was kind of unexpected. Most other people I know also did well, which is super weird. But hey, easy grades!
  7. EWWWW GUITARS #TEAMBASS ALL THE WAYYYYYY I kid, of course. My former bass instructor owns a really sweet Fender Strat, and that thing sang like a heavenly choir, but with strings.
  8. I can really only make stir-fry, but that's because that's literally diced vegetables+meat+sauce and simmering. I've gotten pretty good at it, and I don't really make much else.
  9. Kinda unrelated, but this brings up an old memory. When I was in debate class in high school, one of the "joke" arguments we had suggested that everything (and I mean everything) either led to nuclear war or genocide. In one tournament, my friend one-upped that, with thermonuclear genocide. The weird part was that he won that round.
  10. Assuming you're referring to Guild Wars 2... Charr, Asura, Humans, Norn, Sylvari, Quaggan, Dredge I am still extremely salty about GW 2 not focusing on plot threads from GW 1. WLIU, name 9 different types of shoes.
  11. Pffffffft. Honestly, though, NPR is probably the most impartial of all the stations out there. All of the other stations have their problems.
  12. Welp. So I failed my chemical engineering exam! It's still better than the class average, but this does not look good for my grade in the class
  13. The way I've heard this riddle set up is that the executioner starts at the back of the line, and moves forwards. In that case, if a person sees an odd number of red hats in front of him, he calls out red. If there's an even number of hats, he calls out black. Everyone in the line must adhere to this rule, and it'll guarantee the survival of all but the very first person to be executed (since he's the only person who won't have any communication about the color of his hat, and even then, it's a 50% chance).
  14. I usually just check IMDB or rottentomatoes in the morning to double check if something is on that night. Usually works pretty well, too, since it meant that I didn't have to wait around for Agents of SHIELD because apparently they took a week break for some weird reason.
  15. I've read Bearmageddon, but I need to catch up. I just started reading Axe Cop, and I... I don't know. This is maddening.
  16. I'm studying chemical engineering, but I also like physics. I've taken my college physics classes (which are a requirement for the fluid dynamics course I have to take further down the road) This is primarily the reason why I avoided relationships in high school. Honestly, most high schoolers aren't going to handle breakups/rejection particularly well, and proper communication is absolutely key (and isn't a skill most high schoolers have) to not ending up with a giant drama llama looming over everyone's shoulders. And drama is never, ever fun. It's neither an intact nor burned bridge; it's more like a frayed rope bridge, waiting for the slightest disturbance before catastrophically falling apart.
  17. For reference, dropping a marshmellow from 10m above a neutron star's surface generates the same amount of energy as a nuclear bomb (at least, if my math checks out). You'd get torn apart incredibly painfully when trying to approach. And, to make things even worse, there's a neutron star spinning so fast, the linear velocity of its rotation is 0.24c.
  18. Bah. My bad. Harbinger, and let's say... Breed as a maybe replacement for getting GB wrong? Unless you want a funny picture.
  19. Jack Slash, Bonesaw, Nyx, Crawler, Grey Kid, Burnscar, Siberian, Shatterbird, Mannequin, Winter, Nice Guy All creepy peeps. WLIU, name 7 characters from Dr. McNinja.
