Korra's flashback shows Toph seemingly getting blood-bent by the fellow on trial, who I'm assuming is Yakone (the man who threatened Republic City 42 years ago). It seems that Tarlok is somehow related Yakone; perhaps as a son or an apprentice. Amon can lifebend/energybend/spaghettibend/whatever-you-want-to-call-it-bend, and we previously thought that only Aang (or the Avatar) could do that. Now that we've seen Tarlok bloodbend without the requisite full moon (and of course, Toph inventing Metalbending), we know that the rules about bending are never hard-and-fast. The idea behind bloodbending isn't that complicated. There's water in blood, thus it follows that it can be bent. 80ish years is a long time, and I can't imagine that no other waterbender figured out that you can control someone by controlling the water in their body.

Don't post original work in the remixes section.

The progression of the piece is nice but I'm not sure how I feel about the repetition or the ho-hum sound design. You find that lead sound early on and basically stick with it throughout the piece; it's simple and it gets old fast. Retriggering stuff is nice in the second half of the piece; wish there was more of that kind of work going on throughout the piece. Syncopation could really help liven things up. Drums are on autopilot despite cool glitch/retrigger effects. Could be spruced up a bit with fills and variation. Great ideas, but needs more. NO, resub

I'm excited. It looks super cool.

Nope nope nope. No catch-all E3 threads. Make threads about specific games and systems when there is news about games and systems.

Moved to Community. Sounds cool.

I'm a big AC fan. Very very excited about AC3. I love the design of Conner's hatchet, with the Assassin's Crest as the blade.

I liked this before, so here's my vote again.

Not enough demand for larger sized shirts, to the point where it may not be worth it to do a run.

I finally finished normal last night. Very fun, though I wish they'd addressed more of what happened to Leah. I guess Blizzard will put out an expansion that continues the story.

I love this game.

Merged favorite villain thread into this. Normally fave threads aren't allowed, BloodyL. Try not to make any more.

Is there anything better than ball lightning? I mean seriously, I love love love ball lightning.

I have no idea if officially translated comics exist. I wonder if there's a big scanslation community in japan for American comics like there is over here for manga.

Let's go with Black/White 1 music for now. For Smash Bros. I'd really like it if people remixed the music that was original to Smash (like Brawl's Main theme), but stage themes (i.e. songs from other games) are okay too.

I buy a majority of DC's currently published ongoings. I have neither the time, the money, nor the inclination to follow another huge superhero universe. I know that if I start buying Marvel events, I'll buy Marvel ongoings. It's a slippery slope that I'm not interested in going down. The Ultimate line is more manageable in that there are only three ongoing books, and it's all much more cohesive and tightly constructed. That said, $3.99 price-points on 32pg books prevents me from actually buying Ultimate books monthly; I buy the hardcover collections for cheap on Amazon.

Ultimate Captain America takes place in a completely different continuity, FYI. Captain America there is a bit different; harder, kind of a jackass sometimes, but still a good heart. Also I've never actually READ Brubaker's Captain America series, so I'm just recommending what everyone else says is really good. The entirety of my Marvel reading is confined to the Ultimate line, which I enjoy immensely.

Hi guys. So there's this fighting game tournament called Apex that happens every year in New Jersey. It's quite big and is, as I am told, the biggest Super Smash Bros. event in the country, though they have a lot of other games as well. The folks running the event have asked if we could do something for them, so we've decided to put together a small album featuring remixes from the games that will be featured at the tournament. These remixes will be played on the streams and used as the "official" songs for the event. I'll be taking point because the event is happening right in my backyard (i.e. near Rutgers University). The games are: Soul Calibur V Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition 2012 Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Mortal Kombat 9 Super Smash Bros. Super Smash Bros Melee [RadioWar - Break the Targets] Super Smash Bros Brawl Pokemon White/Black 2 So here's what I'd like. I'm going to run this audition style. If you want to claim a track, send me a one minute sketch/WiP of your idea for your remix and I will decide which one I like the best. I want to lock down who's doing everything by July 1st. Stylistically, the songs should be high energy; no sad-piano or introspective-orchestra. Electronic/rock groove-oriented mixes are preferred. Audition tracks should be posted here. You can audition for more than one game, but you can only send one track PER game. Sound good? Apex 2013 is early next year (Jan/Feb) so this is going to be a very quick moving project. If you have any questions about Apex, one of the Apex guys is going to be posting in this thread. Let's hear what you guys have to offer. Thanks.

Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America is considered top-tier, character defining stuff. Here's the omnibus of the first 25 issues in one book.

Quantum Leap!!!! Such a classic theme song.

Loved the arrangement back during WCRG, but other Js are right on production crits. Need to take a hard look at your mixing choices and rebalance and EQ instruments. Really need this arrangement on OCR. Let's get it cleaned up and resubbed. NO, resub

That squawking lead is awful. xD Arrangement is pretty good; great melding of themes all throughout, really creative. Drum sequencing is great, but the rest of the soundscape isn't anything to write home about. Something about your sound choices really kills the energy in this piece for me. The lead is also a weird sound choice and not expressive enough. Sounds like it's going through the motions. Not bad, needs work. NO, resub

Young Justice is also very good and is certainly not just for kids.
