.... .... I'm speechless. What, is your mother in the room? Whoever this girl was who broke your heart, its over man, move on already! Look what you have resorted too! Get your manhood back, go chew some bark and and hit a wall, do something manly, this is blasphemy! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nice commentary. But seriously. He's right. If you're gonna listen to depressing music, hit the good stuff. Otherwise go watch some Nascar or wrasslin' or maybe go start a fight with a mongoose. Crazy mongooses'll slice you up good, ya know. Or would it be mongeese? Hehe.. And while you're scrapping with the mongoose, listen to "Now You're a Man," the theme from Orgazmo. Now that's testosterone! Edit for the dude: Candy Apple Grey rocks!

Hey, that actually sounds pretty cool. I had one other question, though... because they've put out so many versions of NWN I would hope the Diamond edition is 100% bug-free. Is there a patch needed for the later versions? Thanks!

I too, have debated buying NWN. I enjoyed the KOTOR games immensely, and I just finished Baldur's Gate 2 for the first time. I went all the way back to that one because I heard it had very memorable characters and a great story, and those are the things I enjoy most about the genre. One of the reasons I avoided NWN was I thought it was a single character story, with some nonsense about a "henchman" instead of a group of adventurers. So is it a party-based game, a la KOTOR or BG or not? Is the henchman thing like Jade Empire, where you do have a party join you on your quest, but only one at a time can travel with you and you don't directly control their actions? Edit: This is one reason I dumped Morrowind after a few hours. If I'm playing an RPG, I want my running crew. Thanks, y'all.

Weezer - Across the Sea

All right then ... the "hook-up" will provided in the next few days. Everclear - My Sexual Life you always say you want a simple life you and i both know that you are a liar you always say you want a simple life hearing you talk just makes me tired

Yep. Their other hit was "Radar Love" i been driving all night, my hands are wet on the wheel... BTW, I have a dynamite live version of No. 13 Baby with an extended outro circa 1989... it's very, very cool. If anyone's interested... :ph34r:

I dunno, they look like chocolate labs to me. Very intelligent-looking labs, however.

Black eyes, eh? My translation skills are "uber-1337." Don't even bother testing them. I have no idea who the band is though.

please forgive me, jose jones The Who - Eminence Front Great song marooned on a crappy album. (It's Hard)

I believe so, KQD. BTW, I ordered a new mp3 player! !!!! SanDisk 512 MB for only $50. He's gonna be make me forget about ol' Red and his "inadequate capacity." Ah yes, and Better Than Ezra - Rewind

The version of Wave Of Mutilation is infinitely excellent on that album. Interpol -- Narc <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, indeedy. I thought the other standouts were "There Goes My Gun" and "Subbaculcha." It was a treat to hear them do that Beatles song too. Man, what a weird pick for a cover. Have you heard if they did any covers on the recent tour? Billy Bragg and Wilco - California Stars

Pixies at the BBC cariboooooooooooou cariboooOOOOoooooouuuuu

I thought the first one looked cool, but it wasn't worth buying a PS2. Any plans for them to cross platforms?

I haven't played it yet, and won't for a few years at least. Still, I thought I'd let you all know that Penny Arcade has a writeup about Oblivion. Tycho's newspost The cartoon is Elder Scrolls-related as well.

Danzig - Not of This World Nobody can croon like ol' Glen. Just a few weeks ago, I was drunkenly carousing down a street with some friends, doing a swingin' Tom Jones-esque version of "Attitude." Yeah, we got some looks.

I have quite an affinity for the White Album (which is why VtM:BL got 1,000 cool points in my book for referencing "Helter Skelter") I compare it to The Clash's "Sandanista" a lot, because they are both sprawling double albums released late in the band's career that delve into so many different musical directions. I mean, you go from mellow, acoustic-based ballads to raucous blues to proto-metal to whatever the hell you call "Piggies." All in one massive, messed-up album. Favorite tracks: Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm So Tired, Don't Pass Me By, Yer Blues, Rocky Raccoon, Martha My Dear, Sexy Sadie, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey

That is certainly intense, man. So, the question is 'has your near-death experience changed your outlook on life?' For instance, are you going to just do whatever you want now regardless of consequence? Or take less risks?

The Beatles - You Never Give Me Your Money Had a long drive today for work, so I listened to Abbey Road, straight through - the preferred way to listen to that album. This is my favorite song from an album full of great songs.

Are any Scottish ales mass-produced in the states? If so, are they any good? I got hooked on one at the local brewpub (they just called it "Scottish Ale") in my old town, and since I've moved I haven't found anything like it.

Hell, many major American markets don't even have an alternative rock station anymore. But I'll stay on topic, and the topic is why classical and jazz music is tough to find these days. In my experience, classical and jazz were nowhere to be found until I went to college. Unless you live in an area that's jam-packed with people who care about art, you're not going to find those forms of music around. I don't know if that is exactly a change, in fact I would think it would be normal. I can get a CBC station from across the Great Lakes that plays classical music during the day. Besides that, I've got one high-powered Top 40 station, a handful of classic rock stations that all play Ted Nugent WAY too much, and few stations with the polished crap coming out of Nashville these days. I don't rely on the radio for musical enlightenment anymore. I prefer other avenues.

True Eh, depends on what you drink. Sam Adams in several forms can, and has, gone toe to toe with most beers made anywhere. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised by the awesomeness of Sam Adams' Cherry Wheat Ale. I didn't think cherries and beer would go well together, but I should have known better. After all, Corona and lime is quite refreshing. Also, my preferred drinking method for the very tasty Blue Moon Belgian Wheat Ale is to drink half and then drop an orange slice in the glass. It's like you just started a totally different beer! :D

I listened to half of one of their CDs once. Don't remember the name, it was long and pretentious though. I couldn't really get into it. I know it's not the kind of stuff that's instantly accessible, but at the time I didn't have the patience to give it a fair chance. I had the same experience with Sigur Ros. It's still around somewhere, maybe I'll give it a try someday. Oh, and Joe Jackson - Don't Wanna Be Like That

[rant] The world needs Duke Nukem. Where's the charismatic heroes in games these days? Shooters, especially. Look at the Halo games and Doom 3. You have a guy in a space suit. Where's the attitude there? It's antiseptic, that's what it is. Sanitized for your protection - which is the antithesis of the Duke! [/rant]

PJ Harvey - Big Exit baby. baby could it be true i'm immortal when i'm with you
