    The whole board? Man, why does the A-TL call me the slut?

    On the topic of the original intention of this thread, my experience has been the site mostly loading fast but every once in a while everything will load incredibly slow and sometimes not even finish loading entirely. The site is not usually down although in the last week or so it's been down a good amount.

    As for the conversation that has sprung up here, i think there seems to be a bit of a schism--there's a wide gulf between those with a ton of posts (the most active users) and then...everyone else. So it can get pretty clique-ish, which i don't like, but i admit to contributing to it simply because it's hard not to when a certain rapport and banter has been long established. Amongst active posters, i would say it's quite the opposite of what Nickster is saying about the atmosphere being impersonal--things often get so far away from anything Lana related that sometimes it seems we're only talking about personal things, or inside jokes, or just engaging in general tomfoolery, the Fortress of Bullshit, if you will. But i can see how that aspect of this forum, which tends to be a big part, can be off-putting to some people, especially new members. I don't think this is an unfriendly place, but things have occasionally turned in that direction. 
     
    One of the recurring causes of unfriendliness has been toward certain kinds of new members. There has been a tendency here with new people to register and immediately start making several threads before checking to see what has already been covered. Additionally, i've seen many new people start off posting in a brash style that seems to be an attempt to get noticed. This seems inevitable, but i don't see how that sort of thing is going to ever be received well. No, i don't think anyone should be shot down and made to feel like shit for starting redundant threads that cover very basic information. But this goes both ways--there is also a rudeness to coming in to a new place without making any effort to familiarize yourself with the way the place runs and just asserting yourself however you see fit. I think both sides can handle themselves better in these cases. Differences in opinion can be handled better as well. Although, i think in general, we are nowhere near as bad as that sort of thing can get. I think, when it comes down to it, this place is very mature and mostly civil. There is a lot of sass here though. I’m not into that scene, but it’s a big part of this community, so i’ve come to accept it and i try to not pay it much attention. 
      One thing i think absolutely needs to happen--and this applies anywhere, whether on the internet or “in real life"--is that if someone “prominent” (i.e. they have a lot of posts, or they’ve been here since the beginning, or they know a lot of information) is being a dick, they should be called out on it. There’s no excuse to let shitty behavior slide simply because the shitty behavior is coming from someone who is “somebody” rather than a "nobody." We're all nobodies   
     
    Ultimately, i think there is a strong sense of community here, it just gets splintered into smaller communities within the main one. And, in the end, even though we're all brought together by the same interest, each of us is here for different aspects of said interest, and i think that’s actually what makes any place like this thrive. I say embrace the disparity and multitudes. I don’t think it’s hopeless for new people. Look at ataraxia and lola, they were once new and now they are two of the most active and welcoming/accomodating people here. 
     
    Oh, one more thing...i, too, have never seen anyone correct anyone's grammar here, at least not seriously, so i'm not sure where that came from.

    I have nothing against Emeli, but watched Lana give 2 awkward speeches with her pretty voice in front of her, while Emeli continues to applaud with a strange face... Plus the tweet, that was pretty hilarious

    So i’ve had some time to really sit with the record and i’ve jotted down many thoughts. I tried to keep this short (really!) but who am i kidding, this shit is long as hell, so my apologies (hey, you don't have to read it ). There are already some good critiques on the more conceptual/thematic/lyrical overarching stuff, so i’ll mostly leave that alone, as i probably couldn’t comment on that stuff any better than some of you already have, and i’ll focus more on...surprise, surprise...the “technical” stuff.

    Yes she was. Now she's just a racist and homophobe famous old lady and I hate her for that.

    I've just finished Spec Ops: The Line this afternoon. I loved the scenario, a sort of homage to "Apocalypse now" . When I listen to Lana I like to play to some race games (Forza Horizon or 4). I play a lot to NBA 2K and League of Legends (e-sports lover) with my friends. I've really enjoyed some indie games lately, FEZ (amazing soundtrack and graphism) and Hotline Miami (fucking powerful and the soundtrack is amazing too). I think I'm gonna start the S01 of TWD now, I love the comics but I hate the TV show, it's fucking horrible nothing happened in 40 mins ! And some of the actors are just

    My favs games : The Mass Effect Saga, Uncharted 2 (my first game on the PS3 ), Alan Wake (fantastic atmosphere, very Twin Peaks), Red Dead Redemption (I basically love everything Rockstar do lol), Batman Arkham City, God of War 3 & Skyrim.

    I'm looking forward to GTA V, The Last of Us, Watch_Dogs, Bioshock Infinite, South Park the Stick of Truth (a RPG in the South Park universe developed by Obsidian) and Hotline Miami 2.
     

       

    The new Sim City is very disappointing... They had a lot of server problems (an internet connection is required to play)
