Agro Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 AND OUT OF THE NOWEREZ, Aggro arrives with his article for the week. [spoiler='Because I told Mako I would'][size=5][b]That One Guy I Met Online Completely & Truthfully Represents the Entire Call of Duty Fan-Base[/b][/size] [img]http://www.activerespawn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/angry_gamer2.jpg[/img] [b]Some Dark and Desolate Place that not a Soul Should Dare Wander, Probably North Dakota -[/b] After several years of playing Call of Duty online, I’ve met a share of colorful characters. Truly most of them were great guys, always willing to give a few words of encouragement after every game, and as of Modern Warfare 3, every time you kill them, too. One man is going above and beyond the call, however. [b]**[/b][GenericCoDPlayer001], as he’s called online (either named after a “professional” wrestler, or a former Chicago Bears “Quarterback”… as Tom Petty would say, I can’t decide which is worse), is the exact mix of language and irony that I love to see in any CoD player. You see, he’s the kind of guy that think’s he’s the most important player in the game. You know the type. And he has good reason. I’ve never seen someone finish in Second and Third place in the standings as well as he did. If anything didn’t go his way, like any high-profile professional these days, he’ll blame the incident on someone else playing the game with him, or the game itself. As he obviously should because, of course, user error is not even existent in the most recent of CoD titles. In fact, I was starting to like his attitude SO MUCH, that I almost introduced him to my best of friends: the guys from Activision that ban people from CoD Online Multiplayer! They would have loved him! But even though I forgot to do that, I was still able to play a full THREE matches against him. After introducing myself with a little ACR action, I decided to move on to a little more of a PP90 SMG vibe. Safe to say, he was definitely pleased with my choice of weapons. For the last game, I decided to take it a little slow and try out the SPAS-12 shotgun, and, once again, he really let me know how much he liked me and what I was doing the 3 or 4 times I killed him. Throughout the games he would do so many nice things like make sure others wouldn’t camp, because when all is said in done, that was something only he could do. And boy did he do it often! After each game he would go through each player that played against him and remind them how much he enjoyed their company. Being sure to use nice words like ‘p****’, ‘scrub’, and ‘trash’, instead of mean words like ‘competitor’ or ‘human being.’ So I must say it was an enjoyment playing with you, kind sir. I’ll look forward to playing with you in the future and maybe then you can finally meet those friends I was talking about. And as my parting gift, I’d like to thank you for your work. You truly represent the multitudes of ‘scrubs’ and ‘trash’ (as you call them) that are on Call of Duty Online Multiplayer. Feel proud of yourself for holding that distinguished title, you certainly earned it. [b]**Due to not being an ass, I’ve decided not to actually give the dude’s name. But if you manage to find a cynical a****** on CoD multiplayer that cusses, yells, or calls you a p**** for using a gun or grenade in a war game, feel free to assume that it’s them that we’re talking about.[/b] [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Moonflowyr Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 That was pretty funny aggro xD @Black: Who IS that? I dont do much anime though, so its no surprise I havent the slightest inkling of who it is. HEY EVERYONE! THIS IS THE FINAL DEADLINE TO GET YOUR STUFF IN! This sucker's getting posted sometime tomorrow, and I need everyones stuff. Gar, get your music review in plz. If ANYONE is doing ANYTHING else, it needs to be in TODAY or tommorow BEFORE the issue is posted. Thank you for your time. Also, I think I'll be taking a break from the Weekly after this ep airs.

Alice Moonflowyr Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 OK, compiling all you guys' shizz now. Ep should be up in about one hour or so.OK....nevermind. The whole 'posting a big wall of text* thing is completely wacking out, and copypasting everything from here to word to back to here just doesnt work. It wont keep text color, font size, or spacing. And it's a pain to do all that manualy. So trying again tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Spike, can I post or send you my contributions in a few minutes?

Alice Moonflowyr Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Sure. Lol, whats funny is that if I had posted the ep before you posted that, I would have only included the small list of Kpop things. Also, I move for firing Garazza and Kakashi.

Agro Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Nothing will have changed by tomorrow, Spike. I had to do the same thing last week. You're going to have to balls up and do it eventually, so you may as well do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice Moonflowyr Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 What I tried doing was quoting peoples bits in, and removing any quote and spoiler tags...that worked until I had to bump some stuff down the page with teh enter key, and I found that my blinking-typey-thingy wasnt where it looked to be...

CinnamonStar Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 [size=3][spoiler=member hunt]Alright, since people were having a hard time next week, we decided to take the YCM riddles down a few notches.[/size] [size=3]- This member joined in 2010 and returned from a hiatus not too long ago.[/size] [size=3]- This member is male and older. As in, opal-old ._.[/size] [size=3]- He used to be very popular before his hiatus.[/size] [size=3]- Name is based on Yugioh-something.[/size] [size=3]- He posts in CC, as well as (sort of) in Your Deck, Anime and Video Games.[/size] [size=3][/spoiler][/size] [size=3][quote]I won´t be doing the K-Pop aspects because honestly, it does seem like we´re doing the same thing every week, minus the archetypes/cards of the week and music reviews. I don´t mind having ´look for something to be mad at and then post long ranting article about it´ everywhere personally, but most people were asking for more comedy and member-related content in the poll and I feel like those are the things we have the LEAST amount of.=S[/size] [size=3]So I won´t post the worst of K-Pop this week because we already have like, 3 rant articles.[/size] [size=3]So the things left are “mods and rage faces” and “style of the week”. I´ll post both in a few hours because I´m on a library PC right now and stuff isn´t loading.[/size][/quote] K-Pop stuff was just a sample and pretty useless without any examles.xD At least for the people who aren't familair with the genre. [size=3][spoiler=Mods and rage faces][/size] Well, there was this idea of relating the YCM mods to rage faces and this is what some of us came up with. Once again, [b]don't [/b]take this seriously please and enjoy for what it is.x3 The ones that are missing...sorry, but we got nothing for you guys.D= Credit goes to Yuzuru Otonashi for many of them and some of them to Opal.

[size=3][/spoiler][/size] [size=3][spoiler=Style of the Week][/size] [color=#cc0033][size=5]Random Bit of the Week – Style of the Week[/size][/color] [size=3]Well, I decided to put this down as “random bit of the week” for future users, since not sure if everyone would like to write about cute girl clothes.:’D So out of food, websites, games and other things possible in the world, I decided to review a Japanese fashion snapshot/magazine pic here, since this is what I’m good at. And we should all focus on our strengths and bring them in somehow, right?:3[/size] [img]http://i50.tinypic.com/1583xgp.jpg[/img] [size=3]So, the style I’d like to review this week is the one here in the middle. The model is a shopstaff from a Rock-oriented shop in Shibuya and the picture is from their website (although not exactly recent :’3). I picked it because…well one of THE big trends worldwide is pastel colours and while I’m quite fond of them, I felt like reviewing…something else.D=[/size] [size=3]So what is she wearing? The colour scheme relies essentially on a black-red combination, but what really caught my attention were the asymmetrical details and how she balanced them. First of, the hair (obviously not-so-Japanese hair and probably a wig, since quite a lot of Shibuya- and Harajuku-based models seem to wear them) is curled towards the bottom part and divided a little towards the side. The huge black bow, while something I think looks ridiculous 90% of the time in that size, looks surprisingly good here and is slightly worn towards the side with the larger amount of hair. Maybe it’s also the curls that help it, but at least it doesn’t look off here at all IMO.[/size] [size=3]I also loved how the asymmetrical shirt was balanced by the arm accessories. The red skirt and collar balance the outfit out in order to be not all black and while I am generally not a fan of looks like…a plastic cross, or of spike accessories, it doesn’t seem off. Sadly, we can’t see the print of the shirt, although I can imagine it to be a plain motive in red. I am not really a fan of the tights here and think she could’ve used overknees like the girl on the right is wearing or maybe with a motive other than large roses.[/size] [size=3]But overall, me gusta a lot! This is really a great and cute style to go out on the weekends and I love how she thought it out so well. Nothing looks out of place – not even large tulle bows or pieces that would look weird on their own. This is really what I like about some Japanese street fashions in general and about this particular brand. In fact, tutuHA and fernopaa (the brand this girl models for) sell a lot of pieces that look like carnival costumes AT MOST, ranging from the Kyary-insired hat you see in the background to policemen hats. Yet, you often see the shop staff coordinating them in a way that doesn’t really remind of a fetish carnival costume party anymore. Of course not what most people would wear in their everyday lives, but as I said, I’m really loving this for a night out.:3 It’s cute, yet with an edge and still Rock-oriented without being all about “LOOK AT ME, HOW HARDCORE”.[/size] [size=3](Should still be noted however that she’s a staff member who has the time and money resources to get her hair, clothes and overall look done everyday and that she doesn’t represent the average working/studying Japanese girl at all.)[/size] [size=3]Now if you want to mimic this look, but don’t really have the money to import something from a Shibuya-centered brand, it’s going to be a bit harder, since the shirt makes half of the look.D= In terms of style, this girl is a Rokku Gyaru (Rock Gal) and the hair and make-up are really supposed you should look up if you care about it. Finding red frilly skirts, large necklaces, tights, Doc Martens (I THINK ?), arm warmers and even large tulle headbows isn’t going to be hard and you may find them for a lot cheaper than for how Ami got them. But the shirt is something you can either be lucky to find or something you should sew/change around yourself. Unless you want to leave the asymmetry part out and just go for a regular black printed shirt, which works too.=D But I like trying to make out good outfits for cheap, so I guess this is something that’s POSSIBLE to do on your own without the same ressources, but that may be harder to pull off exactly like her. Again, it’s really well-thoughtout, but if you want to go for something simler, I’d suggest the girl on the right of the picture (whose style I liked to, but had less to say about).[/size] [size=3]Alright, that’s all, hope you enjoyed my silly fashion musings.x3[/size] [size=3][/spoiler][/size] [quote name='Garazza' timestamp='1336432369' post='5934616'] Oi, don't go firing me.

CinnamonStar Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 =/ Seriously, this is becoming somewhat problematic though.

[/quote] Such is why I highly recommended you as the next host; you're more organized and proactive. I suggested Desperado that you should have every member host once and review their hosting abilities. Following, have the inferior hosts host as early as possible and if they do not improve, forbid their hosting capabilities. The idea of working as a team is fine until a segment of the given team becomes detrimental. An interesting analogy pertaining to this is amputation; a part shows you when it is losing blood circulation and if nothing is done to mend the blocked appendage, it becomes painful and must be amputated.
