Yes, because the genre is electro-pop, not dubstep.

Gave that "How to Make a Tie a Bow Tie" video a go, what do you think? by cyclone219in malefashionadvice

[–]cyclone219[S] 0 points1 point ago*

Here's the video for those of you who missed it. Took a little time, but managed to get it good on my first try. Using a thin (fabric-wise) silk tie really helped. The shirt isn't ideal as the top button is a little too low to fully conceal the extra tail end of the tie, but it still isn't too easy to notice. Here's one more pic.

What would you call the perfect game for the PS3? by MrMoonManin PS3

[–]cyclone219 1 point2 points ago

I remember when I first got the PS3 MGS4 Bundle... I'd never owned a playstation before and I was like: "what the hell is this game?"... Looked it up online... hmmm has really really good reviews.... And yeah, ended up playing through the game four times before I bought another PS3 game. Hands down best PS3 game.

Being on an "unlimited data" plan, I never expected to get this. by doldererin technology

[–]cyclone219 11 points12 points ago

Yeah at least my when my Sprint plans says "unlimited" they actually mean it. And free unlimited data roaming to make up for their mediocre network.

Is IEFX Worth it? by boogle1in UIUC

Ah I figured you were referencing an iTeam but wasn't sure. I was on ArchE, "Architecture and Engineering in the Built World."

I had a pretty positive experience, but I feel like I was about 1 in 3. The idea of the program is great, but it's relatively new and has some things to iron out still.

The program is two parts: the class portion and the iTeam portion. I wouldn't be surprised if they've already made some improvements, as I said, it's a new program. The class portion is just ENG 100 but a little more in depth. I found the labs to be somewhat enjoyable and the lecture/discussion to suck, but I believe the ENG 100 class you'd have to take anyways also sucks so it's not a big deal.

The iTeam portion was what I really got the most benefit out of. You get put in these iTeams based on your personal interests and basically get to pursue whatever learning and projects that interest you together as a team. You get out as much as you put into it, they had no way of forcing participation and I know many students didn't bother attending iTeam meetings. I actively participated, and got a lot out of it. I made a good relationship with my faculty adviser (I now work for him), got introduced to Revit (which I am now proficient in), made a few very close friends with similar interests, and got to tour SOM's headquarters in Chicago (Architecture firm that designed the Sears Tower, John Hancock, Burj Khalifa, Trump Tower, etc...).

I'm not sure why you're concerned about the credits thing. iEFX is one additional credit, you shouldn't have to change your schedule or take summer school to accommodate for it. I'm not saying Freshman year won't be an adjustment, just that if you're gonna have a hard time with iEFX, you'll probably still have a hard time without it.

Overall, I'd encourage you to do it.

I looked at it as representing both being "angels of death." Of course, some of the others are also, but both of these directly lead to death.

Drinking Vodka by TheJakeRockzin funny

[–]cyclone219 15 points16 points ago

By saying Grey Goose, I know you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. It's okay though, that's the whole point. Grey Goose was created to be perceived as high quality vodka in the American market, and has been so successful at maintaining this perception due to its high price, good marketing, and the fact that 90% of people can't taste the different between vodkas. CostCo brand Kirkland vodka is actually from the same distillery as Grey Goose. Do a blind taste test between the two, see if you can tell the difference. I couldn't.
