I do also go with thrash, black and death metal for some ocasions, but not all of the time.I also have my liking for medieval german folk rock and metal, stuff like.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-PpZR_nHg4Currently acts I tend to listen to are Ramstein, Sabaton, Powerwolf, Amaranthe, Blue Stali, Freedom Call, FFDP, and a bunch of other stuff, quite hard to tell exactly .Greetings Moritz.Thought Vogelfrey was quite interesting. Definitely not used to hearing a German metal band actually using German lyrics in their songs, since so many of the popular German metal groups (freedom call, Avantasia, Edguy, Helloween, etc.) use English lyrics. Almost all of the other groups you mentioned are on my metal playlist as well.If you’re into Sabaton, I highly recommend you check out some stuff bye Ravenous E.H.https://youtu.be/XrLpIfqyRyg Likewise, if you’re into Powerwolf, I would recommend giving Gloryhammer a go.https://youtu.be/KDjfLpbfR4o URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/489449/#p489449 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: What profession would you have pursued if you could see?
Re: What profession would you have pursued if you could see? aaron wrote:I'd love to be some sort of themed attractions designer. Think the storytelling-type rides, like Pirates of The Caribbaen, Harry Potter and The Escape from Gringotts, Revenge of the Mummy, etc. I've always believed theme parks can tell a story. If I had my own park, I'd get on-board audio for every attraction, and that's not a joke. It's not necessarily about having a storyline per attraction, but it's giving each attraction an audio identity, whether that's queue, loading or on-ride. Perhaps some rides might not be suited to ahve on-board audio though. Yeah, heavily themed attractions are usually the ones to get on—board/in-queue audio, but I’ve heard of it being used on a few more traditional style attractions as well (i.e Hollywood rip ride rocket and Hollywood dream at Universal Parks, blue fire at Europa park, and most of the rides at Thorpe Park and Alton Towers). The latter two ( Thorpe Park and Alton Towers) are actually pretty close to your description of a park with audio for all the rides (as far as I know, all the major ones have audio). Definitely agree that it gives the rides a unique identity (in the case of Thorpe Park and Alton Towers, they can make even the more typical/mundane attractions pretty exciting). Would love to see (or should I say here) more parks follow their lead. Getting back on topic, my answer isn’t all that exciting. In the grand scheme of things, I’m not sure if work would be all that different with full site. I might be in a different field, but would probably still be working some kind of office job, though.

When navigating through the desktop or Windows Explorer, for example, there’s always this weird lag going on it doesn’t show up anywhere else. A prime example is downloading something off the Internet. Everything runs smooth as glass while i’m on Google Chrome, but when it comes time to save the file, or find/open it once it’s been saved, navigating to the proper folder is an absolute nightmare.Good to hear they’re looking into making things faster.

Changes to YouTube mobile site? While using YouTube on the iPhone, I’ve noticed a few changes in regards to how the site works with voiceover. The biggest change seems to be that most of the headings have disappeared from the page.

This made the site very easy to navigate and read.

Re: Girls at school harder 2 get than ones Outside of School? ^Yeah, thats another good point of your own. Taking time to get to know the person is usually a good idea.

If something doesnt feel right, youll be able to catch it early.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=177926#p177926 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Girls at school harder 2 get than ones Outside of School? ^Ya, getting in shape sure helps. As for ways of meeting girls, it sure doesnt just have to be sports though. I just chose that as an example as Ive had some experience in that field with school teams and such. Can pretty much be anything that just gets you out and involved in the comunity. As long as youre out meeting new people, and having a good time, things will probably work for ya.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=14#p14 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Coasters/Amusement Parks?
Coasters/Amusement Parks? Thought this might be an interesting topic to start.Sure, not everyones a fan of big rides, but count me in the group that is! If anyone on here has seen my YouTube channel, youll probably notice that I post more than just audiogame commentaries on there. I travel quite a bit, and often stop by at local amusement parks and fairs to both ride the rides, and to update my YouTube channel with reviews and videos (or at least what I can film with the minimal sight I have lol). In addition, Im also a member of a few online forums/fan clubs, and will occasionally write reviews of various rides on there.So, anyone else here a fan of this stuff? Any favourite rides, or possibly reasons why youre *not* a fan?

I was blind in highschool as well but I did this crazy thing called talking to girls as friends and seeing where it led. A poster earlier on talked about highschool girls being young and immature; you should see highschool boys!Also, you cant just say that someone will react in a certain way because of where you meet them. There will be girls in your highschool who will get on excellently with you, you just havent met them. Get a hobby and meet people who share your enthusiasm with it. You never know where that friendship might lead.Its just really important to not immediately evaluate every girl you meet as a piece of meat you can do. Theyre people and theyre not stupid. If they meet a penis with a boy plodding along behind it, whether he can see or not, theyre going to be turned right off from the start.Im sure many people will think this post is boring and unhelpful. The only defense Im prepared to give is that Ill be proved right by most of you by the time youre 30.Exactly. Probably some of the best advice on this thread. In the half a year or so since I started this thread, Ive taken this advice from other people, and it works. (Im in HS, so no, it doesnt just work when youre 30 haha). Since Ive just loosened up, and not really thinking about the fact that you wanna, well, get with them, then usually things work. Also, as I said a few posts back, joining school clubs and getting a hobby really helps. Nto to brag, but after I joined a couple of sports at our schol, and our team made the provincial championships, the girls started to take notice a lot more, and when we were outa town at meets and tournaments, thats where I m et many of them. A lot of girls thought it was pretty interesting that a blind guy was traveling with the team, and like I said before, the whole blindness thing usually just fades into the background once you get to know the girl.Also liked another point that someone else said, about not worrying about the, *quote, disability, unquote*, I found that us blind teens are actually quite fortunate when it comes to meeting women. Not to bag on, or feel sorry for other disability groups, but Ive found that it could be much worse, so to speak. For example, if youe hearing impaired/handicapped instead of visually impaired/handicapped, theres issues such as sign language to deal with. Not that its impossible to work around, but it seems a little more awkward, at least IMO. Then again, Im sure most of my sighted friends wouldnt call being blind easy either lol.Anyways, great poi nts. And thanks to welshwer for posting this. It sounds like worn out advice, but trust me, it works URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=177653#p177653 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Girls at school harder 2 get than ones Outside of School? ^Totally agree man . Out of the blind women Ive met, like you, its not been the fact of being with another blind person that bugs me, it was that their attitudes sucked. A lot of the sighted girls Ive met recently have just simply been fun to be around. The ones I get along with tend to find the fact Im blind to be pretty interesting, but in a good way... Its actually more of a conversation starter while meeting new girls than anything else. As Im involved in my school/comunity, doing teams/school activities etc. girls from other schools are usually surprised to find that a blind student is on x team, club, event etc. Once we get talking, it usually just fades into the back of their mind.If only a lot of the blind girls Ive met could put appositive spin on it like that URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=177535#p177535 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
