But what about liking animals?
If you know what I mean

Shot.

That's the real reason the Allies won the war. The Welsh didn't want to lose their sheep.

But the alphabet is in that order because it's a perfect tour through the different sounds we make when we speak. Like, ok, we start off with A, who is a gallant and tender and kind leader, a tan-reddish color, with a lot of heart. Right away you're thinking "Ok, this alphabet is going to be great, they have a really good leader in front of them." But you're also like, "Ok, but A is a vowel... is this whole thing going to be vowels??" But no! Because then you move on to B, C, D, and you start to get a feel for some of the more important players on this team. Soon, though, E and I show up, the two gentlest & friendliest vowels [alphabet even uses I to spell "HI!" to you!!], and you're like "Wow, ok, this is such a nice bunch!!" But lest you be lulled to boredom, the alphabet throws you for a little loop with wacky & very humorous J and K. So things are kinda silly, right? But the alphabet doesn't want to alienate you too much, so right away it switches back to the most soft, comforting bunch of letters imaginable: L, M, & N. It's like you've rested your head on a comfy clean linen pillow, just by reading those three letters. So by this point you're like, "Ok, hit me with a new vowel, I'm ready." And along comes Mr. Solid himself, the letter O, which feels dark & refreshing on your mouth like crunching a cold vegetable and drinking cool water. You're blissed out now, and your mind can hardly grasp all the interesting variety you've seen so far... and then the alphabet's like "Oh, you wanna see something? Check out P!" And it, well, pops. But you barely have time to register it because the alphabet's like, "...and here's Q!" And WOW your mind is BLOWN now. Q??? Are you serious? So the alphabet wisely dials things back for a few letters here, because we still have still some important consonants to go and you can't be completely catatonic yet. R. S. T. You're panting. You're like, "Ok, alphabet. One more vowel please, my throat is dry." And you get U, which is tangy and rusty and vinegar-y, but at this point you appreciate all its liquid complexity."Fine," you tell the alphabet, "I know we're almost done here, so just dump out whatever's left in your bag of tricks. All the weirdest stuff you've been holding back. Hit me with it." And alphabet's like, "Are you sure," and you're like, "At this stage in the journey I am prepared for anything," and alphabet says "Okayyyy..." And so, yeah, shit gets WEIRD. And you LOVE it. Like, V sounds like something directly from outer space. W is a letter that randomly has three syllables, like, you never even thought that was possible before now. X. X??? Holy... And then Y. It's a VOWEL AND A CONSONANT? And just before your brain shuts down completely, the lets loose the wildest POSSIBLE letter: Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can't even breathe. Are you still all there? Or have your limbs been scattered through the galaxy at this freaking point?? You look back to the beginning of your journey. There's A, nodding and winking, giving you that spark of reassurance you need. The world is a buffet of experiences -- course after course of colors and tastes and sensations and emotions -- but with a leader like A, your heart knows that everything is in its perfect place. Everything is as it should be.
So IN CONCLUSION, the alphabet is in the ideal order for human consumption, and it certainly should not have been included in this list of arbitrary items.

Drugs, man. Glorious drugs.

Indeed I did.

To be fair, the idiot called it death waltz then said 'lolno'

I meant somebody in the comments.

Mwahaha.

This one's gold too.

That's the bit that did it for me too.

Firstly, this is speculating about a thing that doesn't exist and won't for at the very least 5 years.

Secondly:

The gap between consoles and PC has been closing in recent years

Hue

console gamers always had gameplay on their side

Huehuehue

However, EA are on record as saying that the Xbox One and PS4 are a generation ahead of PC

Because EA never chat shit in an attempt to brown-nose console developers oh wait

the PS4 and Xbox One are “a generation ahead of the highest end PC on the market. The compute capabilities of these platforms and the data transfer speeds we can now bank on, essentially removes any notion of rationing of systems resources for our game engines”.

Current gen consoles: Now with literally infinite processing power.

Xbox One was 8-10 times more powerful than the Xbox 360. [...] With technology moving at such an alarming rate

8 years. 8/1.5 (current approximate rate of improvement for moore's law is for doubling every 18 months) gives 5.3.  2^5.3=39 times as many transistors per surface area to be expected over that time.

This needs to be the norm for console game ownership. Microsoft had it right first time around with Xbox One until the backlash forced them to change it.

>Implying the backlash was at a GFWL replacement

Of course the Xbox Two will be a market leader upon its release and will no doubt make PC gamers foam at the mouth with jealous rage.

And right at the end I'm not even sure if this is serious any more. Well done whoever wrote this if it was a joke.

I kind of wish somebody would stop fucking around and actually post a video of what Death Waltz actually sound like instead of being big babies about Touhou.

It's a song made for comedic value. I doubt that it'll sound like anything else besides a bunch of discordant chords. Not the sort of thing you'd want to listen to for fun.

Make that two people. That song you just linked isn't the actual Death Waltz, as it mentions in the about for the video. So... Yeah.

I think the funniest part of the Death Waltz is the stage comments on the piece:

Keep both feet together
Insert peanuts
Tune the Uke
Cool Timpani with small fan
(rotate embouchures)
light explosives now.....and.....now
increase breathing
duck
Saxes move downstage
cresc. or not
Play ball!
Have a nice day
mute out mute in
sell mute
remove valve
Cornet use ice
Drive it!
Like a Dirigible
If there is a 3rd Clarinet, some Violins may go
add bicycle
release the penguins
optional 12th century lute
water pedal
untie slip knot
begin to fall
Lakers in 6
only 16 players
slippage may occur
balance your chair on 2 legs
Moon-walk
remove cattle from stage
Like a New Orleans concertina choir
rests are imaginary
continue swimming motion

And from the looks of it you can't actually play it, at least not as actual music. There's a handful of things that exist solely to break; a notable example is the connection of a single note to two different systems in the bottom right next to the (K,L) mark.

Meh. I googled Death Waltz, and google is never wrong.
