News Flash with Kermit the Frog [7 Reasons the 21st Century is Making You Miserable]

That's cause everyone already know you are. :P
Mm'kay, no more digressing from me.

Edit:
It's been 3 hours; done.

News Flash with Kermit the Frog [7 Reasons the 21st Century is Making You Miserable]

Editing out my posts in particular isn't about you having anything against me, it's about me having the wrong thing to say from being misinformed and fixing it. But aye, either way, that was some asshat talk from me now that I see it from a slightly more informed perspective. But I'll wait a few hours until I take it out or something.

Dude I don't understand how you can't be profoundly bothered by this. It's really disgusting. Not only is physical beauty completely beside the point of the art of singing a song, the only real difference between the two girls in the photos is the amount of makeup on them (and maybe their teeth, camera angle, whatever). MAKEUP, dude. Makeup is a purely sexual symbol and you don't see anything wrong with them putting up some 8-year-old-lolita doll to lipsync because their award-winning singer doesn't have nice enough teeth?
Whoa, what the-
We're on different pages here. I was misinformed during the first two posts, please ignore those. I'm going to add you on MSN to hopefully clear this up; hope you're on right now.

And @Yummy: You have just proven that my posts thus far hold no validity or whatsoever. I am at work right now, so I have not been able to read everything thoroughly yet still, my apologies. The initial couple of responses were based on what I made out with the replies. After that, I briefly skimmed through the article. When I get off work today I'll look into it more.

I'll be editing out my previous posts on this thread in the future, but for now I'll let them remain there to note what we are talking about.

I do agree that it is a rather vulgar gesture in that case. It seems that they have been caught in the heat of nationalism-overload. However, I believe that misleading the world with the presentation was certainly not of intention; after all, it was no secret that the swap was done. When the country has been culturally closed (relatively) to the Western world, and have this one chance to come out, there must be a tremendous amount of good ol' pressure to make everything as perfect as they can be; the first sin of media of any kind. And in turn, the temptation was so heavy that it was blinding.

Overall, it is still that of a developing country, albeit its growing economy and the like. I believe that there are many core values that are still naturally in the process of catching on to the developed world's standards, and hopefully they will advance in the same pace as its economy.

Quintessence - The Blighted Venom

Many thanks Enker and Rose! I'm flattered. :>
And just a note WIP, that some of the earlier chapters are let downs, relatively (6>5>4>3>1>2). I know I've been repeating that for the 20th time now, but I'm still quite paranoid since I never found the time to fix things, heheh. Thanks for giving it a try either way!

Well, this has made my month:

Drift - <Quintessence TBV> Ending Theme
Performed by: Laura Shigihara
Composed by: Kan Gao (Reives)
(c) Quintessence - TBV


This is my first composition that involves singing, and actually sang (beautifully)! Needless to say I was very excited when she sent me the tracks; I immediately sat for 4 hours mixing it, heheh.

Anyhow, enjoy! Laura Shigihara is miss matcha from rmxp.org.
Her pop music site is located here: http://www.mybluedream.com/
And her .org project thread is here: http://www.rmxp.org/forums/index.php?topic=42176.0

So voila, here's to Quintessence's first performed track, and cheers to Laura!

I really like that sprite template. As for the grass thing, I think covering it with variations of the tall grass tile might do the trick. :) I've heard of the camera thing before, and it seems like some hard work - kudos if you can pull it off.

Quintessence - The Blighted Venom

Currently at 8 chapters it's about 7-8 hoursish. . . I don't know, but it's past halfway as far as story goes. 12-ish hours total? It really depends on how things go and what it takes to get the story done right; and I don't look at time as a factor since it depends on whichever amount needed by the main objective itself. Personally I do prefer short and sweet things for the most part, though, like Elfen Lied. :'>

Quintessence - The Blighted Venom

The extraction file should be working fine, others seemed to be able to extract it. D:
But,

There is a crashing glitch in the earlier chapter, Chapter 2 in this new package, and it is now fixed. The fixed version uses the same url: http://www.quintessence-tbv.com/Q_C1-8v1.0.exe
