A great triumph of /b/ today is their ability to create these games- ones where no matter how hard you try you can not win. However, their other triumph is to beat these impossible scenarios with no sweat at all. One of the most famous ones is the scenario with two rooms, interconnected by a small passageway lined with spikes. In one room is you, and the other a cake. These are usually solved by portals or other form of teleportation (the person and the cake are both being fair game), however, recently a new scenario appaeard, which left /b/tards stumped.

Here is a dog in his impenetrable fortress. All ranged attacks are rendered useless due to the thick walls. Attacking from up close will result in you getting bitten. How do you defeat this /b/?

What happens when an unblockable sword hits an unbreakable shield? Not even /b/ can tell...

You read last time how my journey into AMV making started, and this time I will describe my take on making them. I don't claim to be an expert or anything, but when I make an anime I make sure it's both fun for me and entertaining for the water.

The first thing to do is pick a song, and what anime you plan to do it to. These usually come hand in hand, because usually you will think to yourself, "This song would go great with this anime."

My take on editing is to match up the lyrics to what's happening in the scene. In my most recent video, I kind of strayed away from his to give myself some freedom to show off the beautiful scenes of the EVA Rebuild. However, doing this allows you to put in extra humor or irony. It also helps to time other things, such as bass strikes with big punches or kicks, which gives a double whammy.

Fades and transitions should be matched with the song- simply, a long fading riff should match up with a drawn out fade, and a straight cut should have no fade at all.

For in between verses, the fills are important too. I know I've stopped watching many amv's when the song goes to a break in the singing, and I'm already bored. It may be a song that I like, but if I've already heard the chorus once it's as good as over if the video isn't interesting enough. For example, strong guitar or drum solos are best accompanied by action to build energy. On the other hand, held out chords should be a simple fade to black, then straight back to video as soon as the singing starts up again. This will build anticipation. If there's too much stuff going on in between, it gets distracting.

An AMV is much like a story; don't give away everything in the beginning so the audience won't want to watch the rest, and make everything fit together so they won't be left wondering.

My friend introduced me to this site a long time ago, just when the lolcat phenomenon was starting. Today, the entire cheezburger network has grown to encompass a massive collection of blogs, with topics that include things such as fail, cuteness, randomness, and pop culture. However, nobody has time to read all of these, and some of these blogs are completely pointless or redundant. I'll go through some of my likes and dislikes about these sites.

Lolcats/dogs- These are the originals, and they always have new stuff. Cats hold a place on the internet that will stay around for a long time. (Just look at my friends post about cats on the internet).

Fail- Even before the internet, people looked at each others misfortunes for entertainment. FailBlog is the electronic incarnation of this, and along with sites like "Poorly Dressed," "That Will Buff Out," and "Monday Through Friday" one can see the misfortune of people from all over the world. I personally like kludges myself, just because I used to like making stuff like that as a kid.

Pop Culture- I don't really watch TV anymore, so some of these things go past me, but I guess if you like laughing at celebs as well as normal people it can be funny.

Comixed- Some of these remind me of the threads on 4chan, which have always made me laugh. Reaction guys ftw.

Hacked Irl- I always love bits of the internet flowing into the real world. It's even funnier when you actualyl see these on the street and you are the only one who gets it.

Señor Gif- Now I have a decent connection, but I opened this site and the first page took like 5 minutes to load. After that I closed it and never went back.

Animals Acting Like Animals- is this really necessary? If you really want to see this go to a zoo or something.

Graph Jam- Too much to figure out, too much reading, and most people don't know how to make a proper graph, or label it right.

FML/IMMD/Crazy Things Parents Say- There are always entertaining blurbs up here, especially the FML's, which is great for partaking in schadenfreude.

Giraffes are pretty much the troll of the animal kingdom. Why you ask? I bring you exhibit A:

Just look at that power of pure indifference. "What's that Mr. Bull, you wanna go somewhere? Wheres the fire, buddy?" Giraffes pretty much just look over every other animal, and whenever someone wants to pick a fight, the giraffe is just all "Can't hear you down there shorty, sorry." Ya, you go and take the tender leaves from the top of the tree, I'm fine with these shitty ones down here. Asshole.

So I've seen countless Youtube comments asking for the poster to give a download link for the audio, or for the poster to send a copy of it. Everytime I see this, I cringe and wonder why people haven't found out about this wonderful piece of software. Just copy the URL of any youtube video, then let it download. You don't even have to keep the youtube page open, and the final audio file will have the same quality as the video. It's quick, easy, and completely legit. Enjoy.
