Dunno why the rest of you are getting your panties in a mix about this though. I find this contemptuous sarcasm rather refreshing in a world where appearance takes precedence over most traits of a person.
Here in Alaska, it's just so, open. You're surrounded by far off mountains and the night sky is as bright and clear as possible. It's special when the moon is full and bright; Everythings lit and you can pretend it's another world with the frosty trees all reflecting light like a thousand mirrors onto the frozen ground. Shadows are more profound and sharp, and seeing deeper into the surrounding forests is easier.
Sounds like an awesome place. Guess the isolation must weigh in after some time though. We are social creatures after all.
@ Vegas- You look like some Mexican prisoner- big tattooed biceps, mustache and mullet (?) hair cut. Awesome!
They do heaps of gait analysis stuff at my uni. Do you know what type of motion capture system you will be using?
Don't quite know- It's 3D motion capture something. So you need to stick all those reflective markers on people...which is kind of troublesome.
On what are you doing your PhD? I thought it was something similar.
Meh, can't see why you are limiting yourself to Blizzard.
You need more options and plan B's. Diablo universe is quite an inspiration for many true, but you got to look around and showcase your skills within new ventures.
That WD drawing you did was truly impressive. You can't say after that, that you will have a hard time with different material or contexts.
Actually you can but nobody will believe you.
He was actually asking genuine questions about mainstream culture, hipsters and opinions. I answered in my fashion.
I don't think anybody did answer him.
No need to look for a crappy part time job. YOHOHO!!!
+Bonus points for CV. Just how good is that? Apparently 850 something students applied for 78 places.
Guess my interview was not as bad as I thought it was.
Fyodr Dostoevsky and James Thomson? Oh man....that was such a class hipster move.
Maybe I should just stop trying to make jokes. You're obviously not hip enough to get them.
And I really don't understand how not reading mangas would make someone a hipster. I didn't even say it to make myself seem cool. I mean, I am cool, but I don't consider myself cool for not doing anything. Like, what kind of person would I be then?
I like how all I've got to say is- you're a hipster.
And the drama and denial follows. It's quite entertaining.
Oh did i tell you? You're a such a hipster Az.
An awesome one, that is. Not the regular kind. Like a cool cool hispter with self-fulfilling statements so cool they are above any comments.
Anyway, game time over. To save you from the torment of replying with yet another (ironic) video to compensate for your seemingly lack of linguistic skills to support your post , I will share some honest thoughts with you.
Being a hipster has nothing to do with mainstream. It's an attitude. A rather dubious one in my opinion as it involves the association of an individual's personality with a statement, hobby, music, media or art. It's about the laziest projection of personality within our society- as opposed to having achievements/accomplishment/deeds to show for it.
Mind you, these are still actual valid indicators of a person's taste and therefore a cue as to their possible compatibility with you or another group, but the key difference is the emphasis the hipster will put of these aspects as opposed to the 'normal' person. It should also be noted that most(if not all) individuals have a hipster approach to a certain part of their life or taste.
It serves as an important fulfillment of the human's desire for mystery which in turn provides an added allure to their character. When it becomes an exaggeration, you become a hipster.
You can be a hipster by saying you like listening to Justin Bieber. The difference between you and his teenage girl fans is the obscure reason you will claim behind the liking. Along the lines of you making a underlying statement of some kind (that probably nobody will understand). Of course it would actually take some rather very ingenious hipster to make this one work out but I'm sure it's not impossible.
Now to come back to your statement and drama on manga- it was a truly worthless original post you put forward. A person expressing their dislike for manga for 'x-y' reasons is far more respectful than your hipster attitude.
Why should it be anybody's business to dare to question you on that??
Simple reason- you expressed a public opinion/statement and as such it is automatically open to scrutiny and challenge.
Are you old enough to understand this?
I am doubtful but perhaps in a few years time, you might learn the value of an informed and reasoned statement or opinion.
Now that you've been schooled, you can go do your homework, son.
You're such a hipster. I wish i was as cool as you.
So I'm going to retort and you're going to say you were only trolling, I take it?
I didn't know that mangas were so ingrained into mainstream society. I mean, I never saw thousands of people walking around with their One Piece mangas and their Fullmetal Alchemist mangas. The only literature my friends and I read is European literature a la Fyodor Dostoevsky and James Thomson.
I mean, you've probably never heard of them since, you know, you read your little mangas and sip your Ramune like it's so fun to be ingrained in mainstream culture.
Again you've shown your utter coolness.
Fyodr Dostoevsky and James Thomson? Oh man....that was such a class hipster move.
I am really envious now.
Guys, throw me an energy drink. One with hiptosterone.

Edit!
Because the word hate is too strong.

And we all know you have mad skillz there.
You are not as hip as you think Reptar. For shame.
