looking at the numbers, i'd say they lost a considerable amount of subscribers.
before this expose they had 1,051,896 subs, now they have 1,035,265 subs. aprox 16600 subs lost and are still losing.

if doug and rob want any chance of having to recover from this they should retire the nostalgia critic character (forever this time).with that, they can fire mike and start a new channel (or not depending on the contract they had with mike).

nc's quality have already declined alot, and doug seems more interested in making it a sketch comedy than a proper movie review. it's about time they try something new.

the fact that this keeps happening in america and barely any country else is bizzare. what is it about schools that attracts mentally disturbed individuals?
stricter gun rules would've definitely made it harder for this person to commit this massacre, things like an age limit and psychological screening should definitely be added when applying to a weapon permit.

@Laffitte:

Quoting Hanz's opinion:

what about the big portion who support it and read it legally? what other legit-readers-only forum should he go to? they don't have nearly as much as AP legal readers.

if you're gonna quote me then atleast don't butcher my comment to make it fit your narrative please.

@Laffitte:

I make serous comments and put them out here for people to judge using their own wisdom.

alright then, my wisdom says that your argument is baseless and you're just trying to create controversy for attention.
also, big props to you for conveniently ducking my post.

@Laffitte:

That is why I disrespect you.

thats a very flawed logic. so because there's a portion of AP who read spoilers and scans, he should boycott it? what about the big portion who support it and read it legally? why should they get punished for it?
ok so lets say he does that. what other legit-readers-only forum should he go to? they don't have nearly as much as AP legal readers.
remember you're talking about arlong park, one of the biggest one piece communities.
try to view thing from his prospective instead of taking a short sighted jap at him. i don't know greg and i barely read a couple of his articles (which i found very insightful btw) but he's not in the wrong here and he definitely shouldn't be chastised for frequenting arlong park.

@hosemisnuba:

.

im sorry i didn't know about your plans for your project and just assumed you made your playlist to others to listen to.
ironically, most of the vgm that i like are ones listed on your games list.
i like the castlevania sotn soundtrack obviously, the cavern theme and a couple of other tracks from metal gear solid are very good, the main theme of bioshock, i loved the entire binding of isaac's ost, the phoenix wright soundtrack has some nice tunes in it, the cathedral of shadows theme from smt iv and smt iv:a is wonderful piece of music, and surprisingly the entire soundtrack of medievil resurrection is very good.

@hosemisnuba:

I think I've come to terms with the fact that most people will probably not appreciate what I'm doing because, the reality is, they have no reason to. And I'm fine with that.

the reason is actually much simpler; not everyone shares your taste in video game music. try to look at from another person's prospective, would you listen to a whole playlist of music you have no interest in?

one more thing, you have more than one playlist your youtube channel and they contain 500+ videos. thats a very off putting number man, even if people share your taste in music, they're not gonna sit through all of those videos.

if you want people to listen to your music, make it more accessible. collect your favorite music in album length (preferably 14 to 17 songs) playlists. that way, you can be more specific with the sub genres of vgms and introduce people to music similar to the one they like in a digestible playlist of songs.

@Zar:

…

i've been there man, i had an irrational phobia as well. the best advice i can give is to try to be logical about those sort of things.
what are the consequences of a drum breaking loose? whatever it is, it definitely won't fly out of the washing machine and hit you.

if you find yourself getting too worried about it, stop using it. wash your clothes with your hands on a bucket or go to a nearby laundry service.

my point that it is better than dbz yet it isn't as nearly popular as it.

im rewatching yu yu hakusho and its very good. its a shame its not a popular series. if this had been broadcast as widely as dbz in the west it would've definitely beat it in terms of quality.
the fights are quick, they don't drag for the sake of extending the episode's length, they also generally don't last more than 2 or 3 episodes, and the animation is very serviceable and quite good at times.
each character in the team gets a chance to show their strengths, they get the time to explain their motivation and their backstory, and they're given distinctive personalities that you can connect with and understand. dragon ball failed miserably at developing most of the side characters.
im still in the dark tournament arc, so i don't know how much of will change in the future episodes.

@Nilitch:

Just watched Spiderman.

It was good, but too much action for me and also lol at all the flags and nationalism.

i get that you want to be snarky and cool, but come oooon man! were you expecting something other than action in a superhero movie?
thats like getting disappointed because there was too much sex scenes in a porno movie.

I tried to watch Wayne's World, but i couldn't bring myself to finish it.
the humor was so cringy i just couldn't take it, the straw that broke the camel's back for me was this ingenious joke:
"If she was a president, she would be Baberaham Lincoln"
I cringed so hard and turned it off.

seems like the only good thing that came out of bringing a weigh to cersei was jamie leaving her, hopefully he'll be able to reach the north, tell them of her plans and have the lannisters army behind him.
whats truly ironic, is that the night king would've never been able to destroy the wall had dany not handed him a dragon. i would give my left eye to know what he had planned if he didn't get a dragon, his whole plan would've probably failed!

@Halfmetal-lich:

Ah fandom

They love something so much, but their loyalty is fucking paper thin. They'll turn on it so fast.

Of course, they'll jump back into bed when the series does one thing right.

Fans are fickle. Loyalty is a lie.

i would say the opposite is true. fandoms are way too defensive of their favorite piece of media. which, to be honest, is something that you seem to be vaguely doing right here with your patronizing tone of the people who critique the show.
also, there absolutely no reason to be loyal to whatever media franchise that exists. you don't owe it's creator anything, you purchase their work and you evaluate how much that works entertains you and whether or not you want to keep being invested it in it.

i don't want to sound like im nitpicking too, but did they explain why the group had to split up from gendry instead of running with him to eastwatch?
the only explanation that was vaguely given was that they weren't as fast as him? im not really sure but it seemed like jon intentionally put himself in danger just so dany could come and save him.

@MajinArekkusu:

We nitpick, because they put themselves into that trap of how they staged the whole scene with the NK clearly aiming at a nonmoving dragon with the ENTIRE party on board. He could have taken them out easily, he even aimed at them at first. So it's on the creators to stage it better and not allow such complaints to be made in the first place.

drogon was very close to the night king, he could notice the spear coming at him, block it and retaliate with a juicy fire breath at the night king.
viserion however was close enough to be hit with a spear, yet far enough not to retaliate should the spear miss him. plus, he was distracted.

@Strawhat:

Why aim for the flying dragon instead of the one sitting closer to him and doing nothing?

because the one sitting and doing nothing is more likely to notice, block out the spear throw, then burn him to death than a distracted flying one far away .
seriously guys? why nitpick such minor things?

! his silence is far more frightening than whatever dialogue he could be given. characters with no clear goal and stoic demeanor are quite mystifying.
in his mind, humans probably doesn't deserve his words and he has nothing to say to them. they're just creatures that he despises and wants to rid from "his" world.

! once again the whitewalkers inhuman strength is shown, and it is badass. no man can fling a spear that high and with enough force to penetrate dragon skin. even the scorpio barely injured drogon.
it's a shame that rhaegal had to die but it needed to be done i guess, to show how dangerous is the nightking. he alone did what the lannisters failed to do with just his bare hands, and whats even more crazy is that he wanted to kill the other dragons too! one dragon is not enough for him.
im interested about the revived rhaegal now, will he spit fire? because we know that fire is the enemy of the whitewalkers and i don't think a creature revived by them will be able to manipulate it.
also, i really want to see the nightking when he invades eastwatch while riding on rhaegal.

this dany and jon relationship is gonna get alot more awkward when she realizes that she's his aunt.
also, sam tarly you moron. had you listened to your gf you would've known the identity of jon's real parents. so rhaegor actually married lyanna? jon is not really a bastard then.
oh yeah a bit late on this but i wouldn't be surprised to hear thar the iron bank was behind the sons of the harpy too, since they have mutual interests.

currently watching little witch academia. i think it's a very fun light hearted show.
it's funny, it has a harry potter vibe to it too, and as always trigger has never failed to impress me with their fluid cartoony animation.

@desa:

The meeting between Danny and Jon went in a way I didn't expected. I was fairly surprise by Jon not bending. His cluelessness to how people work is worse than what I expected but still in character. The guy has always been unable to understand how real people work. Danny being the grown-up of the two was fairly surprising. With the way Jon was going there was plenty of times where Danny could have taken offense and cut off discussion but she didn't. Even Mellisandre made the smart move by not being there.

but not bending was the wisest thing he did.
if had bend the knee, then that means swearing loyalty and complete obedience to her. which of course means that she will prioritize her war with ceresi and use his forces for that war.
which is something that the northerners will never agree upon because a) she's an outsider invader to them, b) they're already fighting a war of their own with the nightwalkers and c) the last targaryen they knew about (the mad king) was their enemy!
jon made the most logical choice, why fight for someone you barely know in a war that can be postponed while you have a much more dangerous war coming to you.

Tryion has made a very good plan, and Euron just inadvertently ruined it. now with their naval powers gone, if Dany wants this plan to work they definitely need the dornish army.
or she can just use her dragons to destroy castley rock and attack king's landing with her armies+the tyell's.

Glad to see my thread reaching 10 pages, and I'm more glad that i named it that way and didn't name it "what movie are you watching" because reading your thoughts on movies was very interesting.
anyways…
I recently watched The Breakfest Club for the first time and i absolutely loved it, the characters were realistic to a certain degree and were all flawed. i really liked watching them interact with and explore each other flaws. i also liked how the movie showed that teenagers also have to deal with alot pressure that was either coming from their peers or parents.
all in all it was a great movie that everyone should watch, especially parents.

im not really against the idea of this movie.
while i did like the original movie, i wasn't entirely sold on the concept of the game. it seemed more like an endurance test rather than an actual board game that requires any skills. also, i really wanted to see the jungle itself, we've only seen glimpses of it with the crazy hunters, all most all of africa's animals (even though alot of them don't actually live in jungles), and giant plants that could swallow a human and shoot venomous barbs.
all of those things made it such an exotic place with tons of potential for an adventure plot, which is what this movie is obviously going for.

so i'm up to date with my hero academia and decided to try my hero academia's illegals.
with two chapters in, i can already confirm that it is an amazing manga.
it feels very similar to mark miller's kickass in that the main character just felt like becoming a hero without caring about the consequences and happens to stumble upon others like him who help him out (in kickass it was hit girl and big daddy, in here it's knuckleduster who's just as crazy as big daddy).
and that makes him leagues better than izuku imo, who was waiting for an excuse to give it up had all might not given him his powers.

@NER:
you've been burned out by how much of the religion is shoved down on you, i get it. but you have to understand that it has nothing to do with the religion and everything to do with the people who enforce it upon you. even the coolest of things will seem shitty once they've been forced upon someone.
in short, islam is not to blame here but it's strict practitioners are.
@NER:

Islam makes sense only in the sense that it was created to control people, gain political power, and wealth. It stayed alive because of two factors mainly: 1- People need something to believe in. 2- Leaders need to control said people.
And before you think my view is too shallow or simplistic, just be aware that when I talk of leaders seeking control and people needing a belief to fight for, they do not do it consciously. The leaders may very well believe in this religion they are controlling the masses through, thinking what they're doing is beneficial for all.

manipulative people have tons of things they can exploit to control others, it's not just religion.
outside of saudia arabia and isis i've never actually seen any leader use islam to force orders on people. actually, fear and intimidation are mostly the methods dictators use and not religion.
so yeah im not sure about your point.

R.I.P Prodigy from Mobb deep, one of my favorite rappers of all time.

yeah the fact that they showed us the prelude to his demise with his relapse and house destruction was even sadder.
chuck seems like he got sick because of his jealousy of jimmy but when his friend howard disowned him his sickness returned ten fold and he just couldn't live with it (or the fact that he can't practice the law under his firm anymore). i think jimmy is wholly responsible for his death, it all started with the document doctoring up to him going to malpractice insurance to tell them about his brother's break down for absolutely no reason.

so not that anyone remembers or cares, but my life has gotten a lot better nowadays. my depression and paranoia are gone to a certain extend and i stopped dwelling on every little thing that happens to me.
but when i think back, i can't help but hate myself for being a bitch, i feel very disappointed with myself.
especially because in here if you get depressed or scared, you're instantly called crazy and weird. theres no such thing as going to a psychologist. you just bottle those things up, maybe cry by yourself and hope that things get better. and to a certain extend that's exactly how i should've done.
my family loves me but how can they see a man after what they've witnessed from me? how can they depend on someone who used to be paranoid and depressed?
i hope my actions will change their prospective on me…

did linlin even see caramel use her devil fruit? if she did then she could put two and two together and realize that she ate her. as far as she knows she ate a devil fruit from somewhere and she can't remember when.

holy shiz! she ate them all!
so that is how you take a devil fruit from someone alive? you eat them?
makes sense, but it doesn't seem like you have to eat them whole as blackbeard clearly didn't do that. he probably just ate his heart.

i used to love this manga alot, but the contempt togashi has for his fans made me become indifferent to it. i'll read it when it comes out sure, but as soon as its hiatus return i forget about it immediately.
i think everyone should treat it this way, unless you want to be constantly disappointed by someone who doesn't care about you.

@Robby:

Series is coming back on June 26th, apparently. For how long, nobody knows. Probably enough for a volume.

First person to ask for the thread title to be changed to "Hunter x Hunter" gets to be blamed for it ending again, since the last two times that came up the series ended literally the next day. It's going to be Hiatus x Hiatus forever, until it actually earns the right to not have that as it's title.

great news, may i ask where you've heard/read about it? im looking through ANN and i'm not finding anything.

sanji defeated tons of strong enemies and even stood his ground against doflamingo, he got his ass handed to him alot of times aswell and he came came face to face with death more times than i can count. fueled by his dream of seeing his captain become the pirate king and visiting all blue, sanji''s a very strong willed person.

judge on the other hand, cries at the first time he encounters real danger. lol your so called weakest son is leagues above you.

@TLC:

Then the story should have ENDED. And then the author could have made a new series about THIS story. This is Tokyo Ghoul all over again. The author got bored of his story and/or so enamored with how popular it is that he hijacks the story and made it go completely off the rails so he can use it as a medium to push his imperialist view points onto his readers because educating people on these socially important issues now takes priority over finishing the damn story he had in the first place in his mind.

there is nothing to support your claim at all. the author knew exactly what his manga is going to be.
from the beginning, he established that the titans are mindless creatures with a size limit, body structure and behavior. yet, the walls were breached by two titans that didn't have any of those characteristics. he basically foreshadowed the titan shifters right from the first chapter.
besides, even if your fantasy story was made instead of this, it wouldn't be a very good one. after all, titans are zombies, they can't play the villain's role all by themselves. there has to be something or someone that the character have to overcome, and lets not fool ourselves now. this is a shounen manga not the walking dead, so off course it not gonna be a something. it has to be someone, a powerful someone.

@NER:

I googled this and I tried everything several seemingly trusted sites told me to no avail, so please help me wit this, AP computer gods.
This should be a simple malware issue. I downloaded an untrusted software because I was in a rush (had an event to run and had to convert numbers in an excel sheet into contacts and stuff)
So what this did is it changed the whole layout of my windows bar and every time I browse the internet it would be full of ads and random pages would randomly open to show even more ads.
I uninstalled everything and that reverted the bars to normal, what I couldn't stop despite using a multitude of malware detectors (hitman pro, malwarebytes, adwcleaner, downloading Bitdefender total security and doing several full scans) are the ads that show on youtube and other pages, the ads that would randomly start IE and sometimes even chrome, and the random ad pages I would be redirected to when browsing the internet. what bitdefender and malwarebytes seem to be doing now is blocking the ads from "showing" but they still take the space they do on pages like youtube and they do initially open but they are blocked and I cannot click on them.
an example on the space the ads take now: http://prnt.sc/ez2lvm

tl;dr browsers being redirected to adsites and I cannot find the source no matter how hard I try, used all malware detecting softwares I could. pls help

download avast antivirus and run a boot scan and a full scan. hopefully the boot scan will catch any rootkits you may have installed and the full scan will catch the adware.
after that, uninstall all of your browsers and delete all of their data if you can.
if that didn't work, then back up your important data on any partition other than the one that has windows installed on it, usually the (D), then format and reinstall windows on the (C) partition only. you may want to scan the (D) partition after doing that too.
و اصحى الفار لا يعضك
lol be careful next time man.

why a time skip now? the events that should be occurring are the most vital in the characters developments. why did the writer just lazy out from making the two factions fight each other immediately.
this really feels like stretching the story as thin as possible just to milk more cash out of it.
because if reiner is nearing the end of his lifetime, eren is probably at the end of his too. i mean, are we seriously gonna see the protagonist replaced at what is essentially the climax of the story?
this came out of nowhere, especially because the writer was setting up a confrontation between eren and zeke, which will probably never happen because zeke will be replaced before even having being developed at all. what a waste of a potential great antagonist.
not even the best of writers can establish a new main character in this short time. im not liking where this is going…

when you say monitors, do you mean pc monitors?
if you are, then you can easily find an rgb to vga converter or an rgb to hdmi maybe? i honestly don't know if the latter exists tho.

seeing sanj cry is the saddest thing in one piece imo, both the first time when he left zeff and now after he discovered pudding's true motives.
he's usually the cool and most collected member of the strawhats, if he cries then it has to be something that broke his heart. i hope he gets out of this experience more mature and less naive with women.
oh and it sure was convenient for us that pudding has decided to explain her power to herself and to a passed out reiju for no reason at all. come on oda, don't be so lazy.

@Dranza:

Oda will never go through with a fully evil cutie that will require a beat down. He's more than happy portraying ugly females getting battered though lol

"because she's cute, she's definitely not evil!"
thats just so naive and shallow. oda has dealt with tons of attractive female villains before, he usually had them square off against either nami or robin.

@Kaido:

I wonder if Sanji will manage to win Pudding over with his chivalry like he did Viola. I don't think the two would have any kind of relationship if that did happen, but it's always good to see the positive aspects of his chivalry. Though I would like to get a bit more info on Pudding first.

I enjoyed watching the contrast in Luffy's and Sanji's actions this chapter, with Luffy pulling as hard as he can at his stake and being willing to do whatever it takes to free himself. It's basically what everyone wishes Sanji was doing now, but instead we get Luffy doing it because he has nothing to lose except his own life. It really helps to highlight the differences in situation between the two. And Sanji's reaction to Pudding's reveal is pretty cool, and leaves a lot of open-ended questions. Sure, he's shell-shocked, but then again the other Straw Hats were played as pawns too and none of them except Pedro suspected anything sinister. Luffy's reaction of course turned into anger quickly because of the threat to Sanji basically being the only thing of importance to him, while Sanji has to accept that the ONE thing he believed would be able to make his eternally screwed life happy was never there at all.

But…what's he going to do now? He's down enough that he might accept Pudding killing him, but what about his family? Would Sanji attack a woman to save a sister he despises, though much less so than his brothers? Does he want to defend his family? Year of Pudding 2017 needs to come quickly...though we may get a chapter next week.

pudding has no reason whatsoever to turn against her own mother, she's irritated by her trying to control her but not the point of betraying her.
actually if she wants to betray her mom, last thing she'll do is injure an enemy and try to kill them. she's more likely to just ally herself with the vinsmokes and tell them before hand about mom's plan so they can make a counter trap.
plus, she seems very proud of being manipulative, deceptive and sadistic. she seems genuinely evil, unlike voila who's forced to be on doflamingo's side but was actually a kind hearted person. if sanji tries to be chivalrous with pudding she'd probably laugh at him as she's shooting him with her gun.
i say she's an irredeemable evil character, and you guys are only fooling yourself when you make excuses for her.

also the obligatory "i told you so" for pudding being evil, i saw it back when she led them to that dangerous forest in an attempt to trap them in it and her unusually kind and bland characterization. honestly if she didn't turn out evil i would've been pretty desapointed because she would've been the most boring one piece character. so kudos to oda lol.

i would be very happy to see the vinsmoke and big mom pirates kill each other. more so the vinsmokes getting massacred because i really don't think that big mom is even half as evil as judge or any of his shitty sons.

@Sakonosolo:

Depends what you want to play. If you want to play newer games, they have problems even with newer hardware. The GPU there isn't good. You might be able to upgrade it like you said but 4GB of ram also isn't enough for newer games. The CPU seems to be pretty decent though. What you can replace also depends on the size and features of the case and motherboard though. So basically you're going to need a new GPU, power supply, and some more ram, at the minimum, on top of the $560 you're already spending. Depending on what you want to play on it of course.

I want it to play current gen games like killer instinct and doom.

I want to buy a cheap PC that i can upgrade for gaming use, i found a decent HP G3 prodesk 400 with these specs:
Intel i7-6700 Processor that reaches 4.00 GHz with turbo boost.
an Intel H110 Express motherboard.
500GB of storage.
4 GB (DDR4) of RAM.
an Intel HD Graphics 530 integrated graphics unit.

it's price is 560$. im told that it has a replaceable power supply unit which means i can upgrade it with any GPU card of my choosing.
so is it worth the price?

wow those last two chapters threw everything at us. now what i really want to know, is why would the marley goverment send more titans to paradis?
don't they know that the the king of eldia can control them?
it's like sending tanks to your enemy, it doesn't make any sense.

i want to see daredevil and punisher in it. it would also be amazing if they're voiced by charile cox and jon bernthal.
i hope they put mvc2 and umvc3 back in psn too, i haven't had the chance to download them.

the final crewmate has yet to be shown, i don't think it's gonna be a character that was introduced before and i don't think anyone from this arc (other than jinbe) is gonna join the strawhats.
