Whitelist Recruitment + GAs (100 / 100) - CLOSED

i just wrote a long paragraph but accidentally it removed when i click the submit comment button damn

Won't mind a chance.

Currently binging The Good Place. It's a serialized comedy series set in the after life. There's philosophical discussion as well as some absurdity in the show. Definitely different from the usual set up of a group of friends(or family members), with a surprising amount of free time and money, just hanging out.

Hi there :) do I fit the ratio?

I'm currently watching House of Cards which I highly recommend, the writing is really well done. Many of the things the characters say need to be rewatched to fully appreciate it. Thanks :)

I was absolutely obsessed with Hannibal a while back, I really hope they make a fourth season. I might have to binge it again soon now that you've brought it up :P

I've had it my goal to 100% all of my wins, the one that took me by surprise though is AngerForce: Reloaded. I've been obsessed with beating it this past week or so. It's so simple, but it's really tough. The art is really awesome too. I'll screw up, have to start all over, but assure myself I'll do better that round. Just one. More. Game.

Currently I'm not obsessed with anything, but here is some good music:
Soviet Wave

Permission to join your WL. I’m obsessed with ARPGs. I’ve played Torchlight 2, Titan Quest, Grim Dawn and am currently playing Path of Exile and waiting to buy Monster Hunter: World.

The thing that keeps drawing me in right now is game randomizers. In particular Link to the Past with items and enemies randomized.

Obsession's a pretty strong term to use! But I guess it would be games like paladins, overwatch? Somehow everyone around me is playing these games (even in class) so of course, I got dragged in and I don't mind it a single bit xD

Watching Season 1 of Lost in space. It's well done and interesting to compare the changes from the original TV series and then the movie.

Thanks for your consideration

Hi sis. How are you? I am trying stop playing Rainbow Six...there are so many games that I want to play and I am stuck in this hell of game. =(
Anyway, thank you for the opportunity. ^^

I like to apply for your whitelist :)

Lately i been watching alot of science stuff/documents on Netflix. Like
Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey,
How the Universe Works and
The Beginning and End of the Universe :)

I've been really enjoying the The Stormlight Archive series of books by Brandon Sanderson lately. The first two books were great (The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance). I haven't started Oathbringer yet.

Applying for WL

Unfortunately, because of life reasons I can't enjoy any obsessions right now. But when I can I want to finish Pillars of Eternity, DeusEx Mankind Divided, Skyrim and watch rest of Fringe, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and then read rest of Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy and those Dan Brown books I have.......

Not applying because i cant give much atm...

BUT i realy like H.P. Lovecraft stuff especially the Cthulhu mythos...

I'd like to apply for your whitelist.

While I'm not precisely obsessing over anything right now, the closest it can come to it is how much I love Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (the anime, I haven't read the manga yet). It has pretty much all the good stuff a good shounen has without their usual flaws, and everything is so over the top it's great. I can't wait to watch Golden Wind (it starts next week)

Just finished finally watching Lost. I now can understand why the series was so hyped back when it was current :D

I barely pass! You can pick the requirement, as I barely pass both of them. Requesting a spot. :)

I noticed you watch anime, so I'd like to recommend Youjo Senki. A male HR middle manager in modern Japan, rational and utilitarian to the extreme, gets transferred to an alternate Earth, where he is reborn (with all his memories) as a girl with especially strong magic powers (that Earth has magic) in something of a World War Germany. And this little girl, Tanya Degurechaff, sets out to join the military in order to earn herself a comfortable position in the rear. Armed with all her modern theories that are yet to debut in that older world, this cold, calculating supersoldier embraces this new career placing the utmost priority on efficiency. She is likely to forever change the entire way war is fought. And I'm hyping the next LN volume like you have no idea. :D

Social media?

Nah, I should really get back to reading some 40k books...

My obsession currently?
I'd say Rainbow Six Siege.
If Counter Strike bored you this is a very good game. Large variety of guns, characters, maps.

As you may guess from my avatar, Father Ted is one of the few series that is immediately put on my local drive upon the purchase of a new notebook / desktop PC. It is an excellent comedy with very unique humour, and you may miss much of the deeper-lying sarcasm if you merely concentrate on the cheap laughs (well, comparatively cheap - it is still tremendously funny without the underlying tones). Also, having been brought up in a catholic environment and taught in a catholic school, I can clearly identify many superficial behaviour patterns that are exaggerated in the show - although not even that much, just enough to point them out.

The setting on fictitious Craggy Island and the grand Irish accent just put the icing on the cake. Highly recommended. :)

Hmmm... I'm currently playing Witcher 3 and i aM sUPER oBSESSED! i need a man like geralt irl :(
(here is permission to join your wl :^)

Whitelists! I like feeling special!

But the hell with my obsession, lets talk about yours! Or, well, lets talk about where our interests intersect. I don't know if I'd feel proper proclaiming absolute devotion towards Hannibal given that I've still yet to finish the third season after trying a fresh start multiple times. But then again... maybe the block says even more about my love for the show and it exists as a manifestation of my obsession for the show taken to extremes. If there's one thing to say about Hannibal: not only did it defy every expectations of mine, but it was just straight up fucking bold.

I was absolutely crestfallen when I learned the show would not make it past that third season. Bryan Fuller's show bible had so much more to offer with at least seven seasons of material prepared by a man who never normally maps out anything. This show I once fully presumed to be building up to Red Dragon as the second season (and assumed so right up until the finale of the first) was crazily enough never going to touch that material until season four. Absolute insanity. There were three seasons of original creation (mixed with background and history elaborated by the books) to be followed by three seasons of partial adaptation (Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal) to be concluded by one season of his sole creation, finalizing the saga into it's most ultimate interpretation. While first two seasons were in line with that vision, a pileup of unfortunate circumstances (MGM's stupid plan for their own Clarice Starling show) and concerns of cancellation obviously required a few audibles to that vision. While I can say without a doubt I would've still loved his six season revision had we gotten that at least, there's something about the third season, and especially now knowing that the whole vision won't be realized, that holds me back. .

I still remember my feelings when I first heard the show was in the works. Without a glance I already knew it was some clearly mass-audience excrement and even Bryan Fuller's vision wouldn't save what was clearly an IP retread for brand recognition on yet another procedural. After all, what more could they even say or explore that Michael Mann didn't already do better with Manhunter? And how could this shitty NETWORK television show ever compete with the artistic integrity, vivid cinematography, and exquisite soundtrack perfectly bringing life to every scene? They were going toe to toe with all the same characters and inevitably going to meet up where Red Dragons rests for a direct showdown.

The pilot changed everything. That was all it took. After that I was completely changed and just blown away with how much I'd underestimated Bryan Fuller even when so familiar with his genius already. To this very day I am still a MASSIVE fan of Manhunter if you can't tell (and highly recommend checking it out as well if you haven't), but the comparison simply didn't matter anymore. It was clear that both auteurs had mined the same material to pursue their own realizations, resulting in two distinct and genius takes which coexist without ever demanding comparison or contest. That alone is an incredibly achievement. It's not something most adaptations/remakes/revisions manage to do and the earlier "Red Dragon" adaptation certainly begs comparison to both works.

After catching that pilot, I even started watching the show live (or week to week as it aired anyway) and only stopped shortly after the third season started. Though I usually loathe procedurals and mostly consider them a relic predating television's renaissance (aside from anthology shows oddly enough) there was something about the intersection of the continuing plot with each obscene killer-of-the-week that simply worked. Each naturally served to reflect the ongoing story development, and whatever concerns of "filler" might exist were largely irrelevant anyway when each also served as a new visual masterpiece.

For a show that was generally grounded realistically, you just didn't question the absurdity of so many abstract killers existing and performing these elaborate and marvelous murder masterpieces. The extreme style and vivid imagery of every crime-scene acts as a portal to another dimension where the bounds of reality are stretched until the down-to-earth environment coexist with whatever logical impracticality and absurdities would be necessary to generate such surreal beauty. Never has gore and viscera been so goddamn beautiful. Each crime-scene truly was a piece of art.

It's kind of astonishing the show was actually made on network TV, though I"m certain that it was the absolute artistry of each murder that allowed them to get away with so much and push the NBC censors so far. On a level you know the content is objectionable, but at the same time its so engrossing that you forget what you're actually looking at it. I think it would've been better that Hannibal were born on a Network like FX, HBO, or a streaming service rather than prime time network television since more important to let a work like this be told without petty social constraints. There are clearly times where nudity and sexuality had been toned done or obscured to fit their broadcasting standards. Strangely enough though, I actually don't think the show would've ended up much differently. Particularly in terms of plot and events, I think there's little more Fuller would've done differently and the show was inherently as violent as ever intended since whatever horror and gore would always playout through a symphony of internal organs.

If you haven't seen Bryan Fuller's other stuff you should definitely check it all out. He's very much an auteur imprinting his vision and style on everything he touches. Generally his stuff is more like "Dead Like Me" where its whimsical first with the dark and macabre stuff layered around it that, rather than the reverse like Hannibal where its incredibly dark and macabre that's coated in whimsy and black-humor. Either way, its a consistent set of traits which you'll likely appreciate if you appreciate any of his stuff. Unfortunately, few others have the refinement to appreciate his vision, and premature cancellation isn't just a common occurrence for his works and more like their shadow.

If you love to hate life for what might've bee but will never be, then you should really check out his cancelled "Munsters" reboot that even got greenlit, "1313 Mockingbird Lane." Its another idea that sounds fucking dreadful yet manages to be as great in realization as it sounds terrible in concept. It's a major shame we never saw a real season, but you can still find the pilot online and I'm thankful we at least have that at least.

I'm currently obsessed with Overwatch. I got in the monthly. I've only played for a few hours but man that game is fun. I wasn't having fun at first cuz I got overwhelmed by the huge roster of heroes but then I slowly started playing them one at a time and now I'm completely hooked.

Hi Rebecca, nice to meet you sister =)

Right now, I am playing Fran Bow, becaude I won it in the "Playing Appreciated" group and I have to play it in 30 days. I am enjoying it very much. Very insane and bizarre game, just like me hehehe. God bless you.

Am I eligible to apply for your whitelist?

As for an anime that I would recommend, definitely the manga/anime that makes me laugh out loud genuinely not like those fake laugh, Grand Blue ! I've never seen any manga that is so funny to the point I laughed like a madman and my parent came into my room and ask me if I'm okay (Serious no joke)
