As a few others have said, it really depends on who you're with and where you're at (time also applies here). Just randomly shouting out non-sense in a place like a grocery store is definitely irritating to those around you. But if you're out having fun with a group of friends in a place like a bowling alley that's perfectly fine, it's a good place to be excited. If you're just at home and having a conversation with friends or family, it depends on their preference and the situation. Celebrating a birthday or playing games together are an acceptable time to turn up the volume. However if you're simply having a discussion about a subject of interest or about goings on, it's best to keep a lower voice so as to avoid being rude as well as so everyone else can hear.

Yunimori : You might need a slightly finer point than a sponge I imagine, since the stylus that usually comes with those has a fairly thin pointed end for precision. But it's worth a shot if you're up for it.

Yunimori : Actually it doesn't work with a DS, only things like iPhones, iPads, Galaxy's and other things like that. The DS is actually an exception in what I said because if you notice, the stylus you use for them is purely just plastic. That's not quite enough to transfer electrons from your hand into the screen. DS screens actually work through pressure, you can test this by pushing on the screen with your finger nail. You may notice it has little bit of give, that's so the screen can take detect where the pressure is coming from. Hope that clarifies things.

Some time back I actually ended up finding a video that shows you how to make a "ghetto stylus" for a tablet.

Take a cheap ball point pen such as a Bic, and twist the end off so the ink well and cap come out of the plastic tube so you're left with a hollow plastic tube end. Then take a sponge, cut the scrubby side off (it's usually a green color, depends on the sponge). Then wash out the sponge of any pre-contained soap thoroughly. Then cut along the width of the sponge about a 1/4 inch or so from the end (may need a little trial and error), then cut that strip you now have about half way also down the width. Moisten up the sponge strip just a little bit, then twist the piece of sponge into the empty pen tube. You now have a "ghetto stylus". The sponge may need to be moistened up every so often to make sure it works properly.

It actually works because most touch screens for phones and tablets these days are activated by the electrons that come off your hand, not by finger prints or heat. When you grip the "stylus" you're sending electrons through your hand into the plastic, which in turn transfers them to the sponge which the touch screen actually picks up. You'll notice when your fingers are closer to the sponge while it's in the tube you'll get better results since the electrons can transfer more easily from your hand through the stylus.

Yunimori : I'm sure someone else may have responded to you at some point if I hadn't. The community here can be quite nice actually. But your welcome, glad to help, it's definitely an experience I would recommend partaking in if you get the chance.

Yunimori : There is someone who posted both seasons on YouTube actually, maybe try looking there for it

I did watch both, and honestly I liked them a fair amount. The first season felt a little wonky to me though, they had the whole character of Fuko built up in the first season and then just kind of forget about all of that, so it felt just a little pointless. Granted she does cause a lot of what happens to happen in After Story. The first season also seemed to be a bit slower, which I didn't mind since I liked the story behind all of it. After Story simply takes it up to the next level and gets a bit more interesting. I felt like it was a nice way to get accustomed to the characters first and have a grasp of who they are before making things complicated. I did tear up a bit near the end, and did need to take a break about half way through After Story. I felt like it was an easy and relaxing anime for the most part however. It's not my favorite anime of all the ones I've seen, but I still think it has merit.

It might be make it a little easier if we knew what have you seen before, however I'll go ahead and list a few for now: Reservoir Dogs, The Usual Suspects, Snatch, Interview with a Vampire, 30 Days of Night, Red Dawn, From Dusk Till Dawn, Rambo: First Blood, True Grit (new and old are good), Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Memento, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Underworld, Blade, Devil's Rejects, Machete, Total Recall (new is ok, old is a bit better), Water Boy, Billy Madison, and Super Bad. I'm guessing you've already seen a few of these, but I'm hoping some will be something you can experience for the first time.

The current keyboard I have only has the pause, adjust volume, and calculator media keys on it. At the time I actually purchased it I more so bought it for the reason that it was affordable and was wireless, not for media key functionality. But luckily since I found the actual global hotkey editing list I don't have to worry about that issue any more when Winamp is running in the background.

I finally figured out what the deal was with the global hot-keys, apparently I was looking at the wrong hot-keys altogether. The ones that I was looking at were for the program when it's simply open, the actual global hot-keys are specified under options and then preferences. Default they are set alt+ctrl+(insert key name) to avoid triggering the program by accident when trying to do other things, which makes sense.

I am rather part and partial to Final Destination, I prefer flat arenas for the most part. However I do like fighting on Temple from Brawl, that and I like the Halberd from Brawl as well. Temple is my favorite for just messing around, Halberd for the scenery and laser cannon, and Final Destination purely for focusing on combat.

I currently have two video game ringtones on my phone, one for calls and one for texts. The one for calls is a ringtone that I made by snipping part of the main theme from the game FTL (Faster Than Light), which is my favorite, and for the texts I currently have the Sonic Ring sound. I used to have the ED-E Battle Theme from Fallout New Vegas set for my texts since I thought it was pretty epic, that would be my favorite text tone. I think a few excellent ring tones would be the starting jingle of Pac-Man, the start screen theme of Kirby Squeak Squad, and the Metroid: Zero Mission version of the Metroid Main Theme.

I just did a little bit of browsing, and it looks like initially they both meant the same thing, they were simply an abbreviation of Mistress, the feminine of Mister. They didn't indicate marital status at first when they were used around 17th century, however people stopped using Ms. in favor Mrs., and Ms. didn't come back into use until the 20th century. I think its really just an old formality that people haven't bothered to change yet due to laziness. I think it also has to do with our not using it in a general sense, because both Mr. and Ms. are formal terms, which normally wouldn't be used in a generic social setting of today where we are much more lax. In that case it means people don't tend to notice it much for flirting and such, unless they had read their name written that way on a list or some other place, and it would normally only be written that way in a business, at least that's my experience. I do agree though, it is rather ill-considered to have an indication for marital status for women but not men. Though I'm curious exactly what that new term would be, and if Mr. would remain the indicator for marriage, or if the other would be. Definitely something to puzzle over.

Using a little bit of math knowledge, I think I would draw the straight line through the equals sign, which creates the symbol for not equal. Therefore, the line would be stating that 5+5+5 does NOT equal 550, which is a true statement.

I just gave that software a try, doesn't seem to work either. It does allow for the control of the player while it is selected, but if I select another window it unfortunately produces the same issue as before, it will not control the player while it is not selected. I actually did forget to mention that my keyboard is partially multimedia and has its own play/pause button, and that will play and pause Winamp while I don't have the window selected but that is all it will do. It doesn't allow me to skip tracks or manipulate the playlist being used. I also gave Spotify a try because I use that as well, but namely to access tracks I don't have. Of course there was the same problem, it requires you to have that window selected in order fiddle with any controls on the panel. I find that to be rather odd if I am honest, but I am hoping there is a plugin to fix the issue or that I simply overlooked something. I'll keep perusing around in the mean time.

Personally I'm an avid Steam user, I only used Origin when I bought the 2nd Assassin's Creed game (same case as others it would seem). Though I have not used Origin, from what I understand there are a number of people that dislike it due to wide spread bugs in the whole system, such as games ceasing to function out of nowhere, and transactions that did not actually happen. However, I did hear that the customer service is great, support responds fast and makes no fuss about helping users out. Compare this to Steam, where one could send Steam Support a message and not be attended to for months, if at all. As of late, fortunately Steam created the Steam curators to help with the shovel-ware problems they have been having for the last few years when they loosened their grip on what came through.

My knowledge at this moment on U-Play is limited to the minute or two I spend in it opening Assassin's Creed from time to time, but it appears that it is just a re-skinned and re-arranged copy of Steam's user interface. And I believe it is only limited to using Ubisoft related products so I don't see why their business department decided it would be appropriate to get their foot in the door of DRM software in this manner. Marketing is marketing I suppose. All in all though, Steam is, at least in my opinion, the top DRM software available right now. An exceptionally large amount of content as well as community members, the wallet-draining sales, and intuitive shopping and library interfaces make it a product I am happy to use.

As a side note, competition does exist for Steam in the indie game market, particularly in GOG. I have bought a few games from them, all good quality, and the best part, no DRM problems so you can play online and offline without hassle. This does mean no integrated friends list and library list and such however. They also hold their own special sales for the games they sell, however since most of the games are indie they are not beyond the $20 range for the most part.

I've been using Winamp to play music straight out of my systems files every now again for the last 9 years or so. However, only until a couple years ago did I start having a need to be able to control the player with hotkeys while in other windows without alt-tabbing over to it (such as while playing a game). While I can alt-tab to swtich my control to that window, it makes it difficult to change tracks if I'm in the middle of a match and I can't divide my attention too much for a bit. I was wondering if it is possible to set the hotkeys so that they will function while I am accessing another window, whether it be within the program or with a plugin. I've tried using the hotkeys while in other windows already but to avail. I also looked around to see if there was a manual explaining it but unfortunately I could not find one. It would be rather nice to finally be able to control the player in game or in a browser page without having to take 5 seconds to do it. In some situations speed is of the essence so it would be a great help.

I did not get the shock of finding out Samus was a girl. The first Metroid game I played was Metroid: Zero Mission, and in the beginning cut scene it shows her eyes through her visor. I could tell they were the eyes of a girl. Since then it never surprised me that Samus was a girl because I got introduced to her as being a girl.

I happen to like using the Triple Star, it smashes through most blocks and has range. Not to mention you can control if the star you're launching goes up or down when attacking. And the rod you launch the stars with allows for up-close and personal combat.

I've always been part and partial to Kirby rather than Metroid. Although Metroid is a great series and Samus is amazing, Kirby has always been one of my favorite Nintendo characters. My favorite game would be Kirby Squeak Squad for the DS. Air Ride is a fun one too but I more enjoyed the battle mode rather the racing, the racing in that game always seemed a bit clunky at times. I enjoyed the temporary flight mechanic though.
