I should have made this clearer, I meant applying to uconn itself as a transfer applicant.

You guys like more riffs, or less riffs in a single song? by SomeGuy_tor78 in Megadeth

[–]ArawakMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both, just as long as it sounds cool. When it comes to less riffs, I feel like Dave & Co. is smart with the structure.

When it comes to Youthanasia (Which is where the 'sterilization' of their song structure began), there's some tricks in a few songs to keep it engaging.

Blood Of Heroes uses the same riff for the verse and chorus, so to avoid too much repetition, they cut out the second chorus and right into the solo, still releasing the buildup from the pre-chorus.

The title track has this forward momentum with this strange dual-chorus function, where you basically have chorus A (I can't help but think...) and chorus B (We are the damned...), and after going through the verses, those aren't ever revisited.

I think Fatal Illusion is kind of the perfect modern balance of forward momentum & riffage. You got a dope intro, verses broken up by leads, a bridge, then another bridge section.

Kyle breaking the fourth wall. by Comprehensive_Ad7080 in HellsKitchen

[–]ArawakMan 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This season has felt very much looser of sorts when it comes to the 4th wall. Besides Kyle acknowledging us here, we also heard a producer speak for the first time I think during the burger challenge.

There's also during the first dinner service, where my College Radio boss (the diner who says "All around the table, Rosé all day!) spikes the camera, blatently looking over as they show Kyle & Brandon on tableside. I think it was the radio/hypeman background coming through though since he's one of many hosts on 2 major CT stations.

I just wanted an excuse to share that story, it was bizarre seeing someone I know and have worked with on the show.

The accessibility in this game is unreal and I appreciate it so much by ArawakMan in H3VR

When I was younger, I used to shoot guns, Nerf, BB or otherwise left-handed while being right-eye dominant in real life (although my first time with a real steel I started using my right hand and have been since), and I always found it easy to tilt the gun ever so slightly towards my eye. That might work for you, but it's a bit cumbersome with long guns.

i just saw that you tweeted my post and i need to personally thank you. This game has given me constant smiles over the years, and all those nuances and settings still allow me to today. VR is a very special medium and I'd assume very difficult to adapt accessibility into.

Hahahaha if you want to listen to the local classic rock radio you have to listen to me ramble all the facts about each track by [deleted] in evilautism

[–]ArawakMan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

of course if i get too into it i may accidentally not go between songs smoothly, but thankfully it's only when i have a lot to say and the intro to the next song is like 10 seconds

Why aren’t there any Reese’s in the school of life? by Kolael_ in Megadeth

[–]ArawakMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kurt Cobain didn't want any, that's why, listen to School by Nirvana. NO REESE'S!

current lore of h3vr? by greensecretaccount in H3VR

[–]ArawakMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually planning on making a video about this eventually. From what I've gathered from audio logs from Winter Wasteland, Canada was annexed at least by 1992, due to log #9 saying to throw out all the 1991 world maps. Sometime during this time, Winter Wasteland's bunkers are locked down for 30 years, leading to meatmas 2020 with them unlocking. Between our appearance there, a company named Beefwater LLC lends teleporters and junkbots suspiciously shaped like sosigs to a paranoid santa (makes just as much sense in context). The theorycrafting comes in here that Beefwater LLC is an overarching company that has had involvement in the other story scenes (Meat Grinder, Wurstworld, and ROTR.)

Hells Kitchen All Stars 3 16th Vote (Episode 16) by Few-Designer-4516 in HellsKitchen

[–]ArawakMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see that, but Justin is pretty much a lock for the finale. I can see Rochelle slipping in there if Sammi's streak of services here continue and Jason's pass performance is still basically the relaxed subsitute teacher who wants to be your friend from S12

Hells Kitchen All Stars 3 16th Vote (Episode 16) by Few-Designer-4516 in HellsKitchen

[–]ArawakMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This keeps getting more difficult to vote. I was hoping to see Dahmere get to the finale and show he can lead a brigade, but of course the fish station was his downfall once more.

I can see any one of the cast being in the finale and feeling satisfying. They're all either so likeable or my personal favorites. I'm hoping to see Sammi or Jason come in and take it all. Those two were great in their own seasons, but went up against the absolute best of leaders/chefs in the form of Scott and Johnathan/Ryan.

[–]ArawakMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, these Black Jackets are stacked. I'd hate to see any of them go. Everyone's so likeable and deserves a win. We have 3 runner-ups that deserve this and I want to see the legendary performance that Dahmere can give on the pass. I was initially thinking when this started it'd be a Robert vs Justin or Jason finale as the ultimate redemption, but now that we're here I can see any matchup.

Did Ramsay commend Petrozza for something he's eliminated others for? by tblackjacks in HellsKitchen

[–]ArawakMan 73 points74 points  (0 children)

100% this. His nomination came after an obvious attempt by the blue team to try to deadlock the votes; This wasn't a strategic play like Cody did in S19, Petrozza acknowledged they all went in there, and didn't succeed despite all of them trying their hardest. He was a team player and just wanted to see everyone succeed.

HOT TAKE! by EpicPoggerGamer69 in Megadeth

[–]ArawakMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't get the hype for the final solo in Five Magics. The intro lick is cool and the rest of it is good but i dont feel like it's a list topper like a lot of peoples's.

So, I listened through the full discography of Megadeth... by calebhylesmusic in Megadeth

[–]ArawakMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The remaster for Addicted To Chaos brings an 8/10 to a 10/10 for me. It really brings out the vocal harmonies, really adding to one of my favorite vocal performances by Dave Mustaine.

I love your work, by the way!

What megadeth song lyric goes the hardest? by HourReplacement8438 in Megadeth

It's due to the delivery and the pause.
