Mr. Regular listens to vaporwave, lmao (he mentions it at 5:37)

Lmao, but that's what makes him so awesome. You think of him (or even hear him in your head) when you see a car he reviewed.
Anywho, have you listened to Mr. Regular's intern yet? He's got an intern now. The intern's first video is actually pretty fucking amazing, and he is able to step into the RCR attitude without sounding like he's attempting to completely copy cat Mr. Regular - of course, it is still similar, but considering Roman writes most of the scripts anyway, and that it was [the intern] Ben's first time, he did spectacularly!

As I said before, the reason it may seem like he's a bit of a copy cat is because 1. Roman writes most of the scripts, 2. Ben is new, and 3. RCR's attitude in general (or Mr. Regular's attitude in general) has created expectations inside their fan-base. Before Ben can create his own persona he has to start somewhere. It's only logical that Roman would write Ben a script in the same way he would for Mr. Regular for Ben's first video.
The only problem in his review video (the Scion TC video I linked above) I found was this:
At 3:36 he says "Mazda 2" - but at 3:38 he doesn't say "Subaru BRZ" or "Toyota FRS" - What gives"?
Other people (in the comments) did have at least one nitpick worthy of merit, though. He didn't mention that the tC can come with a supercharger.

I've seen some pretty fucked up parodies of cartoons by a select few youtubers that would probably instill fear in anyone sane. There's, andywilson92 (with his most notable video "Snospis Eht: : The Epic Adventure" which I definitely will not embed here or link to because it's probably not appropriate), and there's seinfeldspitstain (with his most notable video "Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour" which I could link, but won't, and that one created the meme "the pizza is aggressive"). I know this thread was for real cartoons, but I figure parodies could count, as well.

Normally, I prefer the Original to the Remaster, but I think I just found an exception... (warning, long read)
Original:
Remaster:
It seems to me this was a rare instance of a Remaster done *correctly* - by that I mean, rather than changing the whole "soundstage" / "stage depth" and ruining what the music was intended to sound like (which is why I dislike most Remasters), this Remaster was performed with the best intentions in mind to still keep the "soundstage" / "stage depth" intact while accurately separating the lows, mids, and highs from each other to increase fidelity. It's hard to tell with an untrained ear, but the original song has a little bit of "muddiness" - which is a blending of the frequencies, causing a sort of overlap between different sounds.
Here is an example of what I am used to hearing - a Remaster that ruins the "soundstage" / "stage depth" and totally changes what the music is supposed to sound like:
Original:Remaster:
The original song sets the "soundstage" / "stage depth" up where the vocals are "in front" with a slight reverb echoing "behind" the listener, the drums are "in back" pushing sound straight forward, and the guitar is "all around" or "surrounding" with the reverb echoing omnidirectionally. The Remaster completely fucked that up, changing where the sound was coming from and going to - the vocals are now coming from center stage with the vocal reverb echoing to the sides of the listener, the drums are "in front," with the guitar being the only thing that mostly stayed true to the original. Bleh, I feel like I'm being too harsh. Truth be told, grunge is the most difficult genre to attempt to remaster, so, it's to be expected. Chevelle - Sleap Anpea is alt-metal/hard rock, so, remastering it I presume would be much easier.

List of things each character needs before the show ends
Miles replied to FlareGun45's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
I read through the OP, mostly nodding in agreement. I think some of the [main character] needs episode with [main character] bullets aren't as important, same with the Spike episodes, but I wouldn't really mind either way. The one thing I strongly want to reply to is this: No. I think it's best left where it is, after what AJ said to Applebloom in the episode where the CMC get their Cutie Marks (something like "Mom and Dad would be so proud [of you]"), and after Season 7 Episode 13 "The Perfect Pear." If you haven't seen that episode yet, since technically it hasn't aired yet except for Australia (and only we who cheat and watch the latest episodes online despite where they aired will have seen it), look forward to it, as it will definitely help with settling the deal about AJ's parents... Anyway, if you haven't seen "The Perfect Pear" yet, when you do go to watch it, just make sure to have your tissue box at arms reach, because you'll be needing it. I don't think there needs to be any furthering around AJ's parents beyond "The Perfect Pear." And I promise, saying this spoils absolutely nothing. You're in for a train ride down Feels Lane when you go to watch it, though. -
From March through May, the last Animes I've watched (in this order) are: Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 2 (aka KonoSuba 2) Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon Demi-chan wa Kataritai Little Witch Academia Monster Musume UN-GO Concrete Revolutio I'm not sure if I actually finished Concrete Revolutio, as my MAL says I put it on hold halfway through. That'd have been mid-May, around the time I graduated college, and I had to turn in my "Cap-Top" (the laptop my college loaned to students for the 4 years of our major). That may be why it says I put it on hold. I might go back sometime to where it says I left off, and check to see if I actually just forgot to update it to finished, or if I really did leave off half-way through. Since MAL erases your recently watched history after like 2 or 3 weeks (or however long), I had to go into one of the Discord servers I'm in with my old college roommate and some of our online friends to look through my recent history in the anime channel to find the above listed animes I recently watched. I didn't want to dig back any deeper (read: I was too lazy to go back farther). I haven't watched any since basically mid-May. I think I'm planning on watching this next sometime soon: Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria (aka DanMachi 2)

I'm definitely leaving out a lot since if I took this post too seriously it would be way too long... Non-Traditional "cute" animated characters: Casper (The Friendly Ghost), Courage (The Cowardly Dog), Miss Frizzle (The Magic School), Moose (Pepper Ann), and Team Rocket (Pokemon). Traditional "cute" animated characters: Annabelle (Annabelle's Wish), Blue (Blue's Clues), Chuckie (Rugrats), Franklin (The Turtle), Wakko (Animaniacs), and Vanellope (Wreck it Ralph), (and basically any main character from almost any Studio Ghibli film). Non-animated "cute" characters: Dani (Hocus Pocus), Dennis (The Menace), Lydia (Beetlejuice), Salem (Sabrina The Teenage Witch), and Sophie (Halloweentown). Yeah, I'll just stop there.

I became a fan after watching the pilot episodes back in December of 2013 - it wasn't until June of 2014 when I found these forums. Anyway, I have to say that I was very lucky to find the show when I did. It was my Freshman year of college, basically near the end of the first semester, before the start of the second. I didn't know it beforehand, but I had a void within me that would have definitely caused me a lot more emotional turmoil than mere homesickness did when I was a Fresh/Soph in college. Becoming a fan, and becoming a part of the community here on the forums has made my life tremendously better. When it comes to my fandom levels, I can definitely say that I hit the ground fucking running, because as soon as I watched the pilots I was hooked on the show like a construction worker snorts blow. I used to watch hours and hours of the show each day. I stopped counting a long ass time ago, but if I were to guess, I'd say I've seen Seasons 1-3 about 9 or 10 times, Season 4 about 7 or 8 times, Season 5 about 6 or 7 times, and Season 6 maybe 4 or 5 times (and Season 7 once - at least in terms of the episodes that are out as of this edit). My friend slowly got me into anime in Autumn of 2015, and by Spring of 2016 I was pretty much weebing out full throttle. Which worked out great, as that was around the time I was beginning to need a break from binge watching MLP. My love for MLP hasn't dwindled, but the almost spiritual connection I used to have with the show is now but a bittersweet, pseudo-nostalgic memory. And that's to be expected. That isn't to say I don't feel as giddy as a puppy chasing ducks by the pond when I watch new episodes - I do - but, I don't revolve my life around the show like I did in 2014 and 2015... I was obsessed to core back then.

Hmmm... It looks like all the YouTube links in [at least] status updates disappeared after last night's scheduled maintenance/update.

Why Doesn't Amazon Standardize/Force "Amazon Smile"?
Miles replied to Miles's topic in General Discussion
@Jeric @Glacies Frost Hmmm, okay, I understand your points, and I get what you mean by old hat... However, the reason I figured it would bring more customers (and more profit) was because there are a lot of anti-corporation/anti-capitalist people who hate Walmart, Amazon, etc... If people who were against buying from big name companies (Amazon in this case) were taught about the ability to have part of their payment go to a charity/organization of their own choice, they may change their mind and start buying from Amazon. Basically, it could teach people that capitalism and humanitarianism can actually go hand-in-hand, and thus bring people who previously would not have used Amazon to come around to using it. Plus, Jeric, it's not an auto-contribution (it isn't out-of-sight out-of-mind). People have to choose which charity/organization they want part of their payment to go towards. Anyway, I now understand why it's not standardized. It totally depends on the amount of new customers they would receive and how many total users that would utilize Amazon Smile. What if they made it an opt-out rather than opt-in option? Might still be risky, I don't know. -

Miles replied to Miles's topic in General Discussion
Because like I said, there are many people who DON'T know that Amazon Smile even exists!
