I was satisfied with the show. We finally got BAD DAY

I am at the game. It is epic. In-game announcer: "Who wants some free Sixers tickets?" Crowd: "Noooooooooo!!!!"

I thought he was an independent contractor.

Rams need to fire their head coach. Jeff Fisher is incredibly overrated.

My first thought "harper as Groucho?" Boy, am I glad I'm not the only one. To paraphrase Zaphod Beeblebrox, I'm so unhip it's a wonder my bum doesn't fall off. Brawn Strowman said that? Who?

Just got my invite to the media screenings, which will be at Disney a week from Tuesday.

There is a man out there who has the weight of expectation on his shoulders. A man who has always had to listen to other people tell him who he should be. They told him to change his name - he changed his name. They told him to drink the Kool-Aid - he drank it, but it didn't slake the thirst he felt. He tried to take on another man's identity, only to have it ripped away. All these years, trying to live up to a legacy of perfection. Trying to be something he wasn't, someone he wasn't - just because of his family. Well, he has a new family now. Follow the buzzards, and witness the beginning... of the genesis... of the birth... of McGillicutty.

Zeb's scooter was literally the only highlight of Raw. So you seem to do a Double Turn with Charlotte/Paige only to have the new babyface run away, despite using the "only here because of your father" arc that a heel would say to a face, not vice versa.

When the Wyatts came out to challenge the stable to be named a week ago but I don't care, I got really excited thinking they were turning face. Then they were eliminated in teh big tag cluster first via Tommy Dreamer. Fuck you WWE.

hahahahahah welcome to my whole shit bro I've recorded four albums and one EP, mastered three albums, and recorded a podcast entirely in my home. The podcast was rough and no longer exists on the internet, but, the point is, I know how to get it done. Before I say anything else, here are the sites where I buy all my equipment. Here's a picture of that. The next phase of mixing is about controlling potential Clipping. When you play the song back in audacity, if the playback volume triggers red bars, that means it's clipping. Basically, it means one frequency is WAY too loud, to the point that it risks damaging speakers and making the frequencies around it sound like garbage. Audacity lets you go in and edit waveforms to reduce peaks individually (a tool signified by a pencil), which is good for large scale momentary spikes- think popping or room noise- but it's time consuming so it's bad for prolonged sections of a recording (although I have done it). For longer sections you'll want to use enveloping to bring down the volume of a couple of consecutive segments. If you look at the first picture, on the upper and lower most tracks they're shrunk slightly. This is a visual representation of an envelope (and another reason Audacity is really cool). You can use these two tools to try and regulate the volume spikes of the track. Then, once everything sounds good, you're going to want to take another pass at the EQ stage. Listen to the tracks with that visualizer going and, again, take notes on frequencies. If something sounds off, look at which frequencies are higher or lower than others and reference that with your instruments. From here, you can go back in and re-mix your instrument tracks and try again. If the frequency is something that multiple instruments are relying on (if you're playing high on the bass and low on guitar, you'll run into this issue) you'll probably want to go in and individually re-EQ instruments to create a little more seperation in where their dominant frequency is. Otherwise, things can be fixed with a general EQ pass on the compiled mix at this point. Lastly, there's the act of raising the volume. So if the scan for clipping went well, this should be pretty painless. First, you export your mixed track into one final file. Then, you just raise the gain until it's as loud as you want it to be without clipping all the time. If you play back the track at the desired volume and there's multiple points that clip, you're going to have to go back to the isolated mix and reduce the frequency and volume spikes there. This will be pretty easy to see visually, and if it's not you can zoom in on the tracks to get a better idea of the peaks and valleys of the waveform. For an ABSOLUTE LAST RESORT, you can just apply a Compressor effect (audacity's is free) to set a hard limit on as loud a song can be and fill out the rest of the wave form. You're going to end up sounding really grainy if you abuse a compressor, but, it's an aesthetic. The first Death Grips record is basically songs that are clipping like crazy and compressed to fuck. Example. There! That's almost everything I know how to explain quickly. Hopefully like 40% is helpful.

My first thought "harper as Groucho?" Boy, am I glad I'm not the only one. To paraphrase Zaphod Beeblebrox, I'm so unhip it's a wonder my bum doesn't fall off. Brawn Strowman said that? Who? Pitbull.

Sandman would be awesome just taking out the Wyatts left and right with that Singapore cane.

Obviously it means Cena's returning.

Have I told you how handsome and strong you are? And also, that I am Candice Swanepoel.

BTW - there is scuttle that the WWE is promising BIG CHANGES~! tonight I am assume this means the Usos will have new face paint or something

Did somebody say extreme...............brother?

you got your name from a Mark and Brian bit WE KNOW (or at least the four of us from California do - unless they were syndicated or something, I dunno. They used to do live shows next to my house. I got to meet Adrian Zmed)

This is also an excellent idea. Here's where I make a bad joke: is his car TITT?

Extreme Brother.....please let this be New Jack.

A description that hardly does it justice. Just saw a .gif of it this morning. That was a straight up Wile E. Coyote impression (he even stuck for a fraction of a second) and Antonio Brown is awesome for it. How about this then:

Fix it Jesus:

Dolph needs to stop ruining these videos by showing up

Gosling killed it on Saturday night - the Close Encounters skit where everyone was trying not to laugh was the best

Was anyone else hoping that the Nets won, simply so we could call them "the 1 in 21-1"?

I think we're finally turning a corner. There was a horrendous attack in Leytonstone underground station - a 29 year old man went with a knife and a machete to injure and maim individuals on their ride home. He was shouting it was all in retaliation for Syria. Two brilliant parts from this. 1) the police got to the situation and neutralised the man within 8 minutes of the first sighting of a knife, minimising a potential catastrophe. Three injured in the attack, one heavily. They will all thankfully pull through due to the quick actions of the professionals involved. 2) You ain't Muslim, bruv. Four words caught at the end of the video someone was recording of the man being taken down. Four simple words uttered by a young Asian man. Four words that has summed up what the majority of the allah (peace be upon him) worshipping individuals want to say to any insurgent/rebel/freedom fighter/jihadist. Four words that sum up the last 10 years of violence perfectly. The media have latched onto this with abandon; I hope this wont get twisted and perverted by the far right - this could be the breakthrough that people need to see that it's not all Muslims - just those fucks that twist the words of the Qu'ran. I fucking love this country sometimes. #youaintmuslimbruv

Just spent about an hour and a half in Jackassville: Exhibit 1: One of THOSE guys who very literally would grab a tank, get it blown up, go into passive, grab another tank, get it blown up, go into passive, grab another tank, get it blown up ... he did this constantly for the entire hour and a half I was in the room. I knocked him out of the tank three times before I said "screw him" and just quit bothering. At the end of the game, he was closing in on me with yet another tank (after traveling a considerable distance to get to me), so I threw it in passive and left. Exhibit 2: The only other person on the mic never said a word, just kept crunching chips and crunching chips and crunching chips. I had shit to do at the time, so I muted him and decided I'd pay him a visit later. I wrapped up my business and sidled over to him, killing him twice before I wondered if he was gonna let me hear a little play-by-play. So I unmute him. What was he doing? Crunching chips. And crunching chips, and crunching chips. Here came the tank again, so I just gave up.

I remember sitting down for a group meeting before and after watching this at the home I lived in during my boarding school days. A lot of the kids were scared we were all gonna die:

By the way, kickoff for the Orange Bowl is set for 4 p.m. One of the last bastions of New Year's Bowl tradition is the Orange Bowl has been a night game for decades. This is reason #58743 why the NCAA can eat me.

I WANT FUCKING SLAYER!!!

So the Wyatts have finally won a feud?

It's not possible for me to agree more with this post. Man, the last episode was so great. So many one liners. Also, a grown man getting fed like a toddler in a high chair. The scene where Ed comes back to the cabin, sees Dodd bleeding, and goes back-and-forth with psycho Peggy is one of the funniest things I've legitimately ever seen. I had to get out of the room so I could regain all my senses. Also, as much I don't like Elizabeth Marvel on House of Cards, I have to admit she is killing it everytime she appears on Fargo. Her "Oh, I'm soooo dead" expressions when Hanzee showed up and during the phone call were priceless.

This scene never fails to put a smile on my face.

Shooter was Muslim? Guess they're getting Americanized after all.

You sure le Cactus Jacques isn't in the match?

RICKY! NO!

Are you sure you're playing the same game the rest of us are playing?

It's like WWE heard those complaints and said, "you want a horn? here's your fucking horn."

I hope Maia/Gunnar is a fun ground battle, but I'm sort of expecting an awkward stand-up battle since both guys will be too hesitant to engage on the ground and they will cancel each other out. That sometimes happens.

Am I the only one who thinks the Devils celebrating Hanukkah or Christmas is... weird?

Would someone really hire Chizik as HC again? He's got to be the worst national title winning coach ever.

I would have lost my shit if I'd had seen this live.

A shout out for Pogo Pete for posting about ten interesting/rousing/righteously aggrieved news stories a day on FB. My goal on social media is to keep my head down, but I feel like I can be vicariously pissed off about the state of the world through him.

Oh, I didn't know it was that big in America. In England, it was a show BBC2 got rid of because it wasn't doing the same ratings as the other show in the timeslot (which was the Fresh Prince of Bel Air re-re-re-reruns. My son used to think that the TV actor kid from Fresh Prince was the son of the movie actor guy from Hancock. Didn't believe it was the same man, just filmed earlier. He had assumed Fresh Prince was actually fresh).

But... Why doesn't the guy just.... *sigh* That might be the worst finisher in wrestling history.
