PEOPLE WHO BREATHE LOUDLY / AUDIBLY LIKE I GET YOU NEED TO GET OXYGEN TO YA LUNGS BUT I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT
Yeah this. FFXV was 50% - 60% when Tabata joined the project... in 2012. On next week's episode of "things everyone should probably know already," we'll talk about why one should never get their news headlines from IGN.
View attachment 40197 As we reported when the album first dropped on September 9th, the Project Destati team has at last released their long-awaited homage to the music from the Kingdom Hearts series. Released 358 days (sound familiar?) after their debut Awakening EP, Project Destati: LIGHT is the first entry in what will eventually be a three volume collection of re-orchestrated tracks selected from the entirety of the Kingdom Hearts musical score. Sebastian of the Project Destati team was kind enough to hook the KH-Vids Staff up with a few copies of the album. We had seven copies, which were randomly distributed to members of our team – except for one that I kept for myself. I’d heard of the project before but never had a chance to check it out firsthand, so I was naturally excited to have a listen! Beginning with the selection of songs, they start out their project with some really solid and well-known tracks from the series (see below). The main characters’ themes – Sora, Kairi, Riku, Roxas – are all here, with classics like Hikari, Hand in Hand, and Dearly Beloved joining them. One thing I loved about the album was that they included some more minor tracks from the series – it wasn’t just the ones we’re all familiar with. In particular, Waltz of the Damned has always been one of my favorites from the Kingdom Hearts II soundtrack, but one few people recognize when listing their favorites from the series. I was overjoyed to find that it was not only included, but that it’s been beautifully redone. Mkaukau? was never a track I recognized or had particular feelings about, until I heard it on LIGHT. The Project Destati team has also produced a version of Destiny Islands so enchanting that even me, someone who has historically hated the original theme, has gone back and played the redone track on repeat more than a few times! I’m not musically inclined in the sense that I understand the particulars of the work that the Project Destati team has put into this collection, only that it has been lovingly and artfully done. For me one of the selling points of the HD Remixes has been the tracks re-orchestrated by Yoko Shimomura, so to add even more redone tracks to my Kingdom Hearts playlists is a welcome notion indeed. I asked the staff members who received copies to let me know what they thought about the album or, at the very least, what their favorite track was. I’ve included their thoughts below: “Project Destati has done a terrific job of paying tribute to the Kingdom Hearts series and Yoko Shimomura's music that has captured the hearts of many Kingdom Hearts fans throughout the years. Instead of feeling like simple remixes, the guys at Project Destati took several tracks and made them feel fresh and new. I may be biased here, but if I had to pick a favorite track from their first volume, it would be Roxas/The Other Promise. Listening to that track teared me up, and I truly believe this is the best fan rendition of Roxas's theme ever. I look forward to Project Destati's next two KH albums, and I hope that one day, their take on the music of Kingdom Hearts would be performed live.” -- @Ami Mizuno “Favourite song is Lazy Afternoon Streets.” -- @Karuta “General about the album: The recording quality is great with the track selection having a little bit of everything for a Kingdom Hearts fan. Project Destati takes rather large liberties with a lot of the tracks on their album. It makes the music selection a mixed bag of goodies and not so goodies, but overall the songs presented on the album are solid and makes Project Destati: Light a good debut for the project. Project Destati: Light opens with Introduction: It Began With a Letter. The lead off track is a medley of songs that begins with a track with the same name, It Began With a Letter, and slowly builds up to renditions of Dearly Beloved and Dive Into the Heart, at times combining the two. The track flows beautifully from song to song and the arrangement of the songs included are very well done. Hollow Bastion too is an incredibly well done tribute. The song starts with Project Destati's take on Radiant Garden and flows wonderfully into the field and battle themes Hollow Bastion is known for. Project Destati is able to combine all the variations the song has received over the course of the series and adds their own twist to it. Their version of the track is able replicate the magic of hearing the song when arriving at Hollow Bastion for the first time and I could listen to it on repeat for hours on end. Rage Awakened is one of the few boss battle tracks on the album but it is the best one of the bunch. Project Destati manages to re-create the frenzied theme and make it even more frenzied and raw. It captures the feeling of the boss fight against the Lingering Will perfectly; it brings forth a lot of background instruments that were not as pronounced in the original song. Project Destati's Rage Awakened is a track that I would insert into the upcoming 2.5 Remix if I could.” -- @libregkd “My favorite track was Hand in Hand, which has always been one of my favorite Kingdom Hearts tracks because of the epic emotional feel of it. Sadly, the track is usually pretty short, so of course I was stoked when this arrangement was over five minutes. The whole album was beautiful and creative while keeping that nostalgic quality the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack has always given me. ... Yeaaah! ヾ(@°▽°@)ノ” -- @Jayn Overall, Project Destati is an incredible celebration of the tracks – and series – we all know and love, and is, I think, a fantastic testament to the amazing creative ability and dedication of Kingdom Hearts fans. Kingdom Hearts preaches things like friendship and connection and togetherness, and while it might be cheesy and all that, to think that three fans came together to make something beautiful like this… I am overcome. I know, I know. If you’re not into re-orchestrated tracks or fan-projects like this, feel free to pass the album over, but if you’re even at all dubious, I definitely recommend checking it out. We’d like to thank Project Destati for sending us copies of the album and urge everyone to purchase the album for themselves, DRM-free, in MP3 or FLAC format, from Loudr or iTunes. You can find out more about Project Destati by visiting their website, or by following them on tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or YouTube. For those who have bought the album – or at least listened to it – what do you think of the project? What’s your favorite track? For those who haven’t yet, stayed tuned… copies of the album sound like great giveaway prizes to me. ;)
file this under "things feminism already addresses" the lack of men's clothing stores stems from our belief that, firstly, men are disinterested in shopping, clothing, being well-dressed, etc. while the beauty and average person fashion industry capitalizes on telling women basically that they're ugly and need products to make them look acceptable. which is not to say that men's appearances are not excessively scrutinized but it's more to do with muscle than things like clothes or makeup (and for a man to be concerned about clothes or makeup is considered effeminate) totally covered under destroying patriarchy. next
Just gave it a go and it worked fine for me. Perhaps try right-clicking the audio and doing save target as (or whatever it is, depending on your browser).
As far as I'm aware it's not possible (and confirmed by a quick search on the XF forums). The idea behind returning snippets of posts is to make it easier to browse through results (imagine if ten huuuuge posts were returned on one page). That said, we are due up for an update to our search engine that will make some changes to the results returned. Presently, if I search, say, "Sora," I would get every post that includes the word "Sora," beginning with the most recent. With the update we'll be able to use relevancy sorting, so that may give you more accurate search results at least.
It's been a few years since we critically looked at how the forum is structured; we've done some cleanups & rearrangements of individual sections here and there but I'd still consider things a very large work in progress. In short, it's something I'd like to get to at some point but there are much more pressing things to be done. When I (or someone else) does I'm sure this will provide some food for thought.
Yup, Assassin's Creed 3: Liberation had a (black!) woman as the protag. It was a Vita game but I think they released it on all consoles eventually. I've heard middling things about it, review-wise, but I've also read some shady things about the marketing (around when the whole Unity thing was happening). If you really want I can try to find the post about it on tumblr.
~there are more than two genders~
Well I generally have lost interest in FFXV for starters, all the fanrage and bs on Square's part is just annoying. I was excited for the game when it was first announced but I'm not willing to hold a candle for it for years like some others are, especially after the FFXIII series (though I do hope for Square's sake that they don't repeat mistakes with FFXV). at this point I want FFXV to come out not so I can play it but so I can stop hearing about it. Which sucks but I don't think it's unjustified. I don't care about the male protags because i'm bored of male characters, in the same way you'd get bored of games that only take place in, say, medieval England or games that only let you use a pistol. Maybe one game does those things better than the other but I'd like to play something that doesn't just feature the same thing I'm used to if only for variation's sake. Not only that but when women are poorly represented in something it interferes with my enjoyment of it. I'll probably play FFXV when it's been out for a while and has come down in price, or sooner if I hear really good things about it, and I'm open to liking it when I do eventually play it. But I'm not hyped at all.
the fact that it didn't occur to ubisoft to add in some women is part of the problem as well yes I have a problem with ffxv being all bro time because it doesn't hold any interest at all for me. I don't care.
Don't do that, it actually causes a lot of confusion and lets people keep using them incorrectly... These are not "openly gay" Presidents, just Presidents who might have been queer. It not being publicly confirmed is a huge deal. Buchanan is to date the only President who never married (the others could easily be bi or pan or something). Not only that but Presidential elections were never as public as they are nowadays, in part because they didn't have things like TVs or the internet & such, but also because not that many people could vote, let alone had the education necessary to understand the political system & political issues. The average person -- who knew Buchanan only by name, and therefore wouldn't be familiar with his mannerisms, dress, etc. -- probably didn't know anything about the President's sexuality except that he wasn't married. If a President today was suspected of being queer, rest assured that pretty much every one would at the very least know about it. Not only that but, from a modern perspective, it's not as if most people really know Buchanan is pretty much assumed to have been queer. It's not exactly written down in history texts.
PREACH. I just think stamping a woman -- especially a woman of color -- on the physical embodiment of our capitalistic system would be a nice **** you to the people you have just described.
I generally think we should stay away from putting pop culture figures on the currency... someone like Harriet Tubman or Elizabeth Cady Stanton I think would be better suggestions.
I 100% support this.
I think that if we ever put Batman on our currency I would personally exile myself from this country.
