I take it the Charlie White pictures are the ones causing the confusion? ;) They're actually two different pictures from the same series. I like them because they make me feel distinctly uncomfortable but I'm not entirely sure why.

Trying Luis Royo again:

As for Ben Newman, he's not that disturbing! Just slightly pervy! Here's his take on Little Red Riding Hood:

This was a website I used to get a lot of artwork from Louis Ryo; I used DownThemAll! FireFox Add-On to help me download all the picture links rather than do it manually. :thumbup:
I also use TinEye FF add-on (or the website) to do detailed searches on pictures I like (especially if they are small or bad quality, and I want a decent or HQ versions). :yay:

Oh, I have a love/not-too-much-weirded-out relationship with Ben Newman's artwork... :blink:

I can't keep up with the actual Shoutbox. So Yellow, what exactly makes a £150 pair of headphones any better than the £35 pair I use for the gym that haven't broken in 3 years and play music so loudly that my ears ring after using them for an hour? I've listened to music on Beats headphones and they were fucking awful; like a child was farting against the side of my face.

I'm normally all about paying more than average for electronic goods (for some things, you get what you pay for) but I just don't get it for headphones...

good call Scruff! i forgot this was here.

anywho, i've used the ipod earbuds are they are terrible for me. i can't get them to stay in my ears and when they do, they hurt. i guess i have small ears or something? :shrug:

i bought a pair of these because a lot of my friends loved them but the reverb through the cord when i run? yuck! and annoying. so no.

i sucked it up and bought this set which, while spendy, i liked! then we moved and i apparently lost them? awesome. so D got me the new ones for Christmas. haven't tried them yet but they look prettier! :cheer:

You probably already know, but I did make a thread. Not everyone needs to buy expensive headphones or earphones, but I did try my best and explain at least part of why expensive ones exist, and why I use them: Headphones.

Both models are superb according to Head-Fi.org, and have great drivers. There are some members who prefer the cheaper Sennheiser PMX 680 over the Sennheiser PMX80, but I am guessing this is to do with the overall fit on the ears. The look cool too :cool: (we may need headphone emoticons fast...please? <3 ).

I love instrumental music and Star Wars indeed has great pieces of music in it.

Just to move into here from the Shoutbox itself, I wish to express an unpopular opinion:

I fucking hate Family Guy.

That is all.

As you were.

Some parts of it are so stupid, it really isn't funny at all. But I do find some bits to be quite humorous!

The famous, famous Mango. Yes? ;)

Also, H20 Camper sounds like a sports commentator. And his own clip there at number 3 is waaaaay old.

Yep, the famoose Mango! :P

I've thought the same thing! What's interesting, though, is that he doesn't actually sound like that in-game! Well, his voice sounds the same, but he doesn't sound like a sports commentator.

I am not happy at being reminded of that. You utter bastard. I had forgotten the shameless, vile act that is those people doing that song.
