Love Live... That's like double most Bakemonogatari and Madoka volumes. That's 30k away from UC7's 110k mark.

Ugh, idols.....the whole concept is soooo wrong to me....
And I really dislike the music.

Idol stuff sells over there. Look at AKB before the scandals, idolsm@ster is still going strong after all this time.

This show just doubled the first week single volume sales for the previous two best selling TV anime of all time. Glossing over this because of the popularity of idols is just wrong considering the numbers.
 
Oh and this is the first volume of the SECOND season. Sequel seasons normally never sell as high as the first. This is why studios rarely ever take anime further than two seasons unless they are mega-hits.
 
Idolmaster didn't even register in comparison to this. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-11-01/japan-animation-blu-ray-disc-ranking/october-24-30
 
4000 copies for the limited edition Vol 1 over a similar period.

^Numbers for Vol 1 of the first season.
 
Oh and add Shingeki to the list of anime Love Live just destroyed.

Jup, only the idea behind it is more annoying. It's the exact opposite of honest music.

That's more like it

Oh, when I posted about a very specific set of people needing that kind of rig, I meant that they (and I) would use it both as a portable rig and as a desktop rig. I still have my portable headphones though and I don't have any open-backed headphones due to needing isolation.

Why is my download speed slower than my upload speed?

I really like this song, it's not the best of recordings, nor the catchiest, but to me it's just really honest:

On a different note, I like Crayon Pop's choreography:

  Omerta: City Of Gangsters free on GOG for the next 2 hours. You have to get it via the main page, not the product page.

No thanks. Not even if it is free.

Also, GOG will not only give away Omerta today, but probably even a new game every 3 hours! Or at least multiple ones today.
 
Here is the list of flash sale graphics that haven't turned up yet which were speculated could become freebies:
 
Alan Wake's American Nightmare
Banished
Outlast: Whistleblower DLC
Still Life 2
Torchlight
