PKMN.NET / Re: So the forums have had less activity

Not posted here in ages, but I figure I should add my $0.02.

Personally, I haven't been visiting as much due to becoming bored of Pokemon, White took me several months to complete, and I haven't bothered with B/W2. Last Pokemon game I played through was Super Pokemon Rumble, and that was an impulse purchase. I doubt I'd have even finished it if it wasn't for two good school friends also buying it. To be fair, they also bought B/W 2, but that's two out of about a dozen of us who bought B/W.

I'd say it's people changing over time (I personally stopped bringing my ds to school to try and be more sociable, I kinda felt guilty getting sucked into a game whilst surrounded by lovely people), we've all changed over years, and that's how it links to this site. Loads of people that used to be here are still here, the diehards, so to say. I'd even bet that a bunch if those 30 or so haven't bought the latest game, and are here purely for the community, which is where this site's always stood out to me. It's still the same people I got to know 2-3 years ago, there's not been much change. People have left, and there's not really anyone new filling those gaps, as it's hard to feel accepted in an already established community. I'd know, I don't feel like I fit in elsewhere, the other places I've grown fond of have well established communities where everyone's close, and I've never felt comfortable to join them on mumble or in a tf2 team, mainly due to a large age gap, and not being too social.

I'd suggest getting new people in, but it would be difficult. Perhaps focusing on something else for a bit if the admins are growing tired of Pokemon? I know of the acid reflux, but it always seemed empty to me, but that was months back. Maybe turn the site into more of a general gaming site, but it'd go against the site's origins

Really annoyed that Coexist is out and I don't have the money for it right now, looking so forward to listening to it =/

It's £5 as a Digital Download on Amazon this week if that's more in your price range. I'd definitely reccomend it to anyone who liked the first album.

Voltage got leaked!

One thing I noticed is that in the metadata on the mp3, it says track 9 of 15. Could this mean whoever leaked it has the full album? It looks like a few people have it, as Tom Lube posted a low quality version the other day, and more recently this high quality version's been leaked.

Could this mean Skrillex's new album is in the hands of reviewers now? If it is, I hope Challenger and San Diego are on it.

Zedd - Spectrum

It's just wonderful. Really big contrast compared to Shotgun though.

Dear random idiots who were harassing me at the bus station, particularly the one who constantly does it:

Go away. I don't want to speak to you. Grow some balls and mature, act your age. Learn to respect other people.

If you find harassing and intimidating a random fat kid fun, go die. You're a cancer to society.

Spitting on the floor after every few sentences doesn't make you cool. It just makes you look like scum.

You shouldn't need a reason why I don't want to talk to you. Go look at yourself in a mirror. Telling me you punched my friend for no reason yesterday doesn't make me fear you, it just makes me see you as an even bigger idiot.

Leave me alone, or I'll be getting the police involved. You're breaking the law. I shouldn't have to fear waiting for a bus, thinking you're gonna show up and torment me. Just because nobody else is bothered doesn't mean it's okay.

From that guy with curly hair.

Seriously, people like them make me appreciate everyone at my school. While there's your fair share of not very nice people, they're gentlemen compared to this kind of scum who have no respect for anyone.

It feels good to get this off my chest. I'm incredibly paranoid anyway, and these people don't make it any better. If I can't feel safe in my home town, where do I feel safe?

Just ordered Daft Punk's Homework and Human After All, alongside Pendulum's Hold Your Colour for the total of £6. I'm a happy man.

Music / Re: Best DJ's/techno groups

I love Skrillex's music. I can't wait for him to release the Voltage album. Although, I much prefer his older stuff. As in the solo era. Mora #2 from the Bells album is just beautiful.

I love Discovery by Daft Punk. It's a wonderful album. One of the greatest things I've ever heard. If you like it, I highly suggest you watch Interstella 5555. It's a wonderful film, with Discovery playing over the top. I really hope Daft Punk's 4th album actually happens.

Other acts I've heard from this list are Gorillaz, who I quite like, David Guetta, who's average to me, Avicii, who I'm not really bothered about as I've only heard Levels, and Swedish House Mafia, who I like a bit. Their stuff's great.

Maybe add Pendulum and Knife Party to the list? They're the same people, just different styles. I love their music, and Knife party have a new EP out soon.

I like Alvin Risk too, his remix of we are young was amazing.
12th Planet is worth a mention. His free EP The End Is Near was fantastic. Ghost was probably my favorite track from it. Rusko is quite decent, and the Netsky remix of Everday is fantastic.

I must highlight Klaypex to anyone who enjoys Brostep/Electro House (So things like Skrillex, Rusko etc. They're not Dubstep. But that's something for another day) Lights is a wonderful track. I especially enjoy their remix of Ellie Goulding's Lights.

Some of you might like Borgore, but he's too dirty to link to on here.

Zedd has some good tracks. Changes ft. Champions is lovely. Shotgun's good, but don't expect any rhythm or anything.

Noisia's got some good stuff to, and they're a pretty big name. I love Shellshock Ft. Foreign Beggars (Who are very good too. Their work with Skrillex is awesome.). Machine Gun's a good track too.

If I've got any suggestions for fans of these kinds of music, I'd start with both OWSLA Free Treats samplers. Free music! And get The End Is Near, which is also free. Knife Party's 100% No Modern Talking EP is free.

But yeah, add these artists to your list:
Pendulum
Knife Party
Alvin Risk
12th Planet
Klaypex
Borgore
Zedd
Noisia

There's some other big names like Kill The Noise too.

How??????
There was a star wars convention in town, so me and my brother went.

There were some other actors, like Biggs and Max Rebo, but those two were the best.

I met the actors who played Darth Vader and R2D2! And I heard the guy who played Greedo admit Han shot first.

Also, I got a signed picture of Kenny Baker, who played R2D2!

The guy sold the N&B Stainless Pot. D:

Oh well, the guy with the bubbling (which is what I initially wanted) still has it, and his C/O hasn't changed for days. Might be able to beat it soon.

I was to awkward to tell her today. Guess I'll have to do it tomorrow.

Love Kona.
