Thanks! That's exactly the sort of response I was looking for. If this brand is overpriced, then maybe I can get something better for the same price. Thank you for your response! :)

Hello! I am saving up money for a gaming PC, but it will also need to be able to handle other stuff (such as programming). The irony here is that I'm studying Computer Science and still have trouble picking out computers. Long story short, a friend of mine recommended Digital Storm...

1. Do you consider yourself a member of the gamer subculture? Yes. 2. How many hours of videogames do you play a week? A solid 20 hours sounds about right. 3. Do you tend to play videogames by yourself or with friends? Mostly by myself, sometimes online, but that's rare. 4. How many...

I'm getting good grades in college and can play drums at a level I'd consider above average.

@lacktheknack Thanks for that last electronic song, man. :) I like electronic stuff, but I don't get into the bass drop stuff, I.E., Harlem Shake. :P

Can you give a specific example maybe? I'm really curious now, haha.

Most definitely. :)

I think a lot of people are saying they enjoy music BECAUSE of technicality.

Couldn't agree more. I really don't understand mainstream music simply because it seems...bland? But yes, it is really tailored to the lowest common denominator. Being a musician...I'm selfish and only want to play the kind of music I actually enjoy playing. :D

Vault 101, I'm a drummer, so yes, I would say that the drum parts in both songs are very different. However, maybe I constructed my example badly because one is made using a computer (or whatever) while one is played with instruments. The piano guy has an excellent example of technicality. :)

My buddy and I have notoriously dark sense of humor, but we know other don't so we only joke around with each other. The fact of the matter is, they're jokes. They aren't serious commentaries on the issues at hand. But not everybody thinks that way, so I'm very selective in who sees my sense...

I don't care for classic rock much, but I do enjoy Prog metal, among other sub-genres of metal. Maybe I can shed some light. I wouldn't really consider myself an elitist, but I do enjoy some music more than others, for 2 reasons. 1. Technicality I'm a musician and this is something I've...

Typically I shave semi-regularly (weekly) just to look decent in public. However, sometimes I shave every day when I feel really nit-picky about it. On three separate occasions I have let it grow out for about a month or so just to see where my beard is coming along. I use an electric razor...

This. That game is so good, and really expansive. I wonder why I stopped playing?
