  1. Dr. Strangelove Hm, I didn't quite get the ending... What did the russian ambassador do? What was the actual role of Dr. Strangelove?... Anyway, exploding bombs and the music in the end made me want to play Fallout, but that certainly isn't the message the film should carry.
  2. Favourite? PC. But a Nintendo Console is a "must" to me, as there's Zelda and Baten Kaitos.

    so babylon whores inspired me to listen to sentenced, but as I couldn't decide which youtube video to post, probably "killing me, killing you" or "no one there", I found there's actually fields of the nephilim - she available, one of the male singing voices that I adore too, and also, it's goth, thus very good for finishing my postings in this thread for today [edit] You're welcome, Amplifier are far too unknown for their quality

    why, thank you... poor drummer :sad: there are very slow moments though let me counter this with - pretty normal rock, one of the best pieces of such, imo: [edit] bad sound quality, unfortunately. stupid youtube. Shryke: Including you, I now know (of) five persons

    musopticon?, this song gets me slightly nervous, and listening to samael -suspended time didn't help much either so now: vast - lost

    Just like all unexplained phenomena, this interests me greatly. I'm not crying "Yes, it's alien!", but I love research being done in scientifically vague matters such as this. So thanks for the link, taks.
  9. Meshugger, about that posting one or two pages ago: Sorry! I didn't mean to say you're wrong. I used your posting to show what false conclusions people like to draw of cooccurrent facts. I agree with that. It's not necessary, or rather: not sufficient, to educate people how to use guns responsibly, but much better to show and teach the population how using violence is not a way of solving problems, but a way to create graver ones. And about your older post: I'd agree to some point - one starts to try to be completetly different, even disgusting for the kind of people one doesn't like, if people treat you as different, ugly, stupid, lower or whatever. Probably that radical denial is some form of the famous "cry for help" often cited to be overheard before a suicide. I don't really think institutional mental health-care would help in such cases, because this would only aggravate the problem by rubbing in your face that you're out of the norm, and mentally unstable, even insane. The best thing that can happen to a person who isn't included in the norm is - in my experience - someone who accepts them the way they are, always, even if they change (which they will, if they're accepted). So, again I agree with those who take the parents into responsibility, because these should ideally fit such a role (but the usually don't do that, trying to educate their children to their own ideals). Probably a true love would solve this, however supidly romatic that must read now. Some small thing on the discussion about guns: It's not fair to say, if he had had no gun, he'd have used a truck or a kitchen-knife. Why? A gun was built to be a killing instrument.

  11. And right you'll always be if you don't change exactly that fatal opinion of the american (and worldwide) public now.
  12. deadly nightshade: true. Nietzsche himself doesn't think well of nihilists, I recommend you reread some of his points about that matter. In fact, he thinks people following religion are nihilists because they delay living their life to an afterlife, and the ideal would be to overcome that. He was very agreeing on life, not on death or nothing - most people just don't seem to get this Meshugger: Your post shows much of the reasons for a common mistake: People don't become that hateful because of (abusing) Nietzsche or listening to Black Metal. People are made that by others. You aren't likely to go out and kill people (except probably in some dangerous cases of schizophrenia) if you've got friends, if there are people treating you well, if your parents respect you for what you are, or at least leave you alone if you need that. The beginning is really as simple as that. I agree that there might be a common cause of people turning to the "darker" side of life and people killing others. It's that cause that needs to be condemned, not the lifestyle that might result of such a cause (and actually might prevent you from hurting others, because you've found a good way to deal with the **** that has been done to you). The cause is the (probably casual and careless) cruelty of others. Aram: Yes, and what an ethos. It was simplistic, cruel, irrational... Everything is an ethos by definition: Ethos = habit, way of life... Great remark, really... jokes: Death can be a reason for sadness - and for ways of dealing with it, not the worst one of which is humor.

    monica richards - fell to regret
  15. Walsingham, definitions of left and right (in a political sense of course ) are bound to differ, and that seems to be the case in the whole Sarkozy-matter. The cited parts of his speech seem brown-nose, no reason for me to become a fan just because he's reasonable enough not to engrave differences between France and the USA... But each to his own
  16. The patch is worth the wait, fixes quite some issues. The game was worth the wait too! BG1-feeling with a few annoyances (loading of bigger areas is often necessary because of going into and out of houses, and this process is really slow on my machine with "only" 1GB of RAM)
  17. I rather liked the spirit meter, it didn't feel like a way out of a flawed resting system, but a serious reason to get rid of the curse as fast as possible. Anyway, as I played a good character and suppressed the hunger or (don't read, rhomal) I never had any problems with time running out. Yes, I had ability penalties with my spirit meter sometimes as low as 25 or so, yes it did damage my character over time, but hey, no problem really, there are items boosting regeneration far over the 1dx damage you take every soandso rounds... regeneration does stack in the game, btw. Spirit meter a reason for cheating? *shrugs* Imo not really, much more a reason for clever and stringent play, and moral decisions as well.
  18. If money weren't an issue, i'd buy at least such a keyboard, but at over 1000$... if time weren't an issue and I'd be able to, I'd build such a thing myself... There's a lot of "if"s unfortunately
  19. I just compared VtMB to "Angel" and, well, they are similar indeed - however, the theme basically consists of two notes, one of which is repeated multiple times in a certain rhythm. Can't do much different things with one note [edit] I just read the manual, title track is indeed by ministry's al jourgensen. they don't mention ASP's track (played at that church-club with venus) in there, strange... also, there were collide posters ingame, but no piece of music by them [edit2] why isn't there a sad smilie...

    Parov Stelar - Shine
  21. I wonder what became of the right-wing, rather repugnant politician... So, link would be appreciated
  22. some of the best sountracks I know were already named, people here show good taste I love - PS: T, the soundtrack (and the soundeffects) are part of why this is the best game I've played - Quest for Glory V (didn't play the predecessors) - Icewind Dale (IwD2 sounded annoyingly bad in most places imo) - Baten Kaitos - Total Annihilation (Soule at his best ) - Some tracks from Etherlords - Some tracks from Darkstone - Zelda: Ocarina of Time (I don't know if it still holds a top position nowadays, but man that was cool when the game came out!) - Some tracks of The Dark Eye 3: Shadows over Riva - Vampire Bloodlines (title-track = ripoff? It does sound like Massive Attack, but it's not a copy... I like all the original game music and the licensed titles) - Outcast (oh man... time flies! it was wonderfully fitting the scenery, when coming out of this first daoka you heard that music...) - Some tracks of BG2 (I noticed that I liked the ones from BG1 mostly for nostalgic reasons, not because of quality...) - Some tracks from NWN2: MotB (not all were memorable, but those who were, were very good) - Some tracks from the Witcher - Omikron: The nomad soul (It's Bowie, you know ) Also, GSoundtracks has reviews that mostly fit my taste, if it weren't for the dislike of rock and electronics
