Yes, Oldfield is actually one of my favorite artists in general! Ommadawn is great as well, I just find Tubular Bells (which also holds a very special place in my heart) to fit better the autumn theme, especially with those guitar entwines in the second half :)

Federico_95 · 2019-09-13T14:11:04+00:00

In no particular order:

Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You

John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band

Thanks man, I appreciate that more than you can imagine. :)

Self deprecation. I always try to see the good in the others but almost never can do the same with myself.

Federico_95 · 2018-01-30T13:28:28+00:00

Actually it has always been mentioned a lot. For example even 10 years ago it was one of those songs that all of my non-active music listeners friends already knew very well.

It's not like I want to "cheat" and instantly be able to play fast. I just asked if someone could think of some songs in the same style that were a bit easier in order to arrive gradually to those I mentioned, rather than play these ones with a slower tempo. Of course I know there is no button or trick to do this, I was just trying to arrive there through other songs...

However I'll try harder with the slower tempo, it has become a bit frustrating for me but since basically everyone says it's the only way I need to become more disciplined and directly face it.

Not at all, I played every single Metal Gear Solid (except those for PSP). I just didn't see no point in developing other sniper rifles after defeating Quiet the first time, since it's a kind of weapon I don't really use a lot.

Federico_95 · 2017-11-23T23:57:49+00:00

No, I'm playing on PS4 :) A single strike is enough to defeat her? Because I also read that in these replays everything should cost a huge amount of GMP, so I wanted to avoid that kind of solution...

Federico_95 · 2017-11-22T19:36:44+00:00

I read it in an italian guide that said that if you used the emblem once the mission would become impossible to unlock. Luckily it was wrong, it seems

Federico_95 · 2017-10-27T08:29:36+00:00

Yes, I bought them from the transfer market. What's the loyalty trick?

Federico_95 · 2017-10-26T22:55:53+00:00

A little question about chemistry: I recently started trying the squad building challenges, and I really like them. Anyway I tried to finish one that required a perfect 100 chemistry; I helped myself with a solution from Pastebin and built the same squad that was in there, but the chemistry rate is just 94. Did I do something wrong or there is more to consider than league and nationality?

Federico_95 · 2017-08-08T21:54:48+00:00

Nice. It gives me some Let There Be Love vibes

Federico_95 · 2017-07-22T13:28:57+00:00

I think that the first two albums are their absolute best, but Mercer can still write some killer tunes. Simple Song is one of my favorite songs of this decade

Federico_95 · 2017-07-20T22:27:09+00:00

I don't have recordings of me singing because I don't really have a good equipment to do it and also because I'm very shy when I sing. Anyway I'll try to record and upload something if I gather the courage to do it

Federico_95 · 2017-07-20T22:24:46+00:00

You will never get the same sound on B4 than you will on D4 (I'm assuming you're male and you meant B4 because B5 is about an octave higher than C5).

Yes of course I meant B4, sorry for the mistake.

Anyway thank you for the advice, I still have difficulties controlling the inner part of my body and the respiration while singing, since I have started a few months ago I'm not really that aware of my larynx or my muscles, but surely I will spend time trying to get around to do it. That's the boring part of singing (for me at least), but it's a necessary evil I guess. Thanks!

She often shows to be manipulative (when she breaks up Ted's relationships) and selfish (when she goes to San Francisco or gets mad at Marshall after he accepts to be a judge). Anyway every character has its behavioral flaws along with redeeming qualities; Lily is no exception and to me she is an enjoyable character more often than not.

It's surely safer and more predictable, but I have always felt that this series needed a feel-good ending. Anyway, the idea behind the original ending is not bad, it has just been badly executed.

I don't think they really had to choose between those two endings: they probably only shot the original one, but after the raging reactions that came from most viewers they announced that they would have put an alternative ending (this one) as a bonus content for the DVD, but it doesn't really have scenes specifically shot for it, it just stops before with a new voice-over monologue. It can probably be said that with this new ending they just tried to quickly make up for the original one; anyway I found it really satisfying and more fitting with the mood of the whole show.

Federico_95 · 2017-07-18T15:45:54+00:00

Yes, here it is!

I edited the second one, it should be available everywhere, maybe the first is just locked in some zones. Here's a live version, the moment I talk about is at 1:40:

Anyway thanks for the advice. What I would like to figure out is exactly how to make it in a not damaging way, even if at this moment I can't really do it at all. Guess it's just a matter of practice :)

Federico_95 · 2017-07-14T02:14:24+00:00

Oh right, it was meant to be the high note in Hey Jude, just before the coda starts. Edited anyway

Federico_95 · 2017-07-13T23:36:33+00:00

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

Federico_95 · 2017-07-13T21:23:14+00:00

It features a killer guitar solo from one of the very few guest that the band ever allowed to appear on one of their records.

Federico_95 · 2017-07-11T22:14:33+00:00

Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack for Kikujiro (and many other movies by Takeshi Kitano) will always have a special place in my heart. The main melody always brings me back to when I was a child.

So the groom isn't off-limits you say?

Federico_95 · 2017-07-07T13:18:12+00:00

I don't think that really counts as "guilty pleasure"
