This is all Troika's fault.

Speaking of wierd, I heard Reeves Gabrels (who worked with David Bowie in Bowie's Hours), once used a vibrator as a musical instrument. Is this true? I heard he was pretty out there in terms of exotic sounds... unfortunately I haven't heard any of his works.

I remember in the past having problems accepting I was wrong. But now I've just come to accept I'm always right, so it's better. Seriously, while this seems true for many cases, I think there are some people who at least appreciate being explained how things are. I know I do. It can be an embarassing situation for some, but I think it's overall quite positive and much better than remaining in ignorance. Of course, as you said, it's oftentimes pointless when trying this with people who don't just give a damn.

It's been delayed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True. I heard they're making Pong: Enforcer instead, a Pong FPS that continues to bravely carry the Pong legacy into the future.

Well, when I have 2,426, they'll just need to love me more!

I like apple pie. I like eskimo pie. :: plays a riff ::

I have 2,423 posts. Love me.

Yes.

While I haven't played it, I've heard several things about San Andreas and I feel it is much closer to an RPG than Diablo has ever been.

I don't need to see depiction of violence in a videogame. That's something that sits between the "icing in the cake" and "fluff" segments, because I'm fine with it if it's there, and fine if it's not. My gaming experience doesn't revolve around it. I enjoyed games (and gaming) without blood and gore before they got trendy, I keep enjoying them with said elemetns. There's also the case of wheter it fits in a game or not, but as always that depends. On the other hand, profanity is something that tends to leave me unconfortable, because I rarely seem to find a reason of why it should be used. It doesn't improve my gaming experience, and most of the times it detracts from it.

Thanks for the recommendations, Pope

How is it, really? The only thing I know from his is, unfortunately and expectedly, "Come To Daddy" (which did tickled some parts of my fancy). Which of his works would you recommend?

Yup. Plus, Soulfly, Atari Teenage Riot and Morrissey.

That depends. Some people I know, for instance, are pretty conservative when it comes to music (I'm using conservative in the sense that they frown on anything that doesn't sound like, say, Norah Jones, or repetitive jazzy records with lifeless, predictable tunes), and many things in my music library are considered "weird" by them. By comparisons I consider some of things in my library to have once been weird and exciting to me, and nowdays aren't that much (an example being Korn, which I basically stopped caring for around the forth album). I'm sure there's a lot of weird music out there which I haven't heard, and that I'd probably like to. My tastes are far from being that diversified, in fact, and I resent that. I'm always on the lookout, though. As for "off-the-radio ****", I don't recall there being many radio stations around here that play Jon Spencer, Portishead, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones or even Housemartins (weird considering Housemartins were a pretty good pop band), just to name a few. Even if something is "off-the-radio", though, that doesn't lessen neither it's value or my appreciation of it (examples being REM or James).

Witty conversations like these are what make me keep coming back to these boards.

Off the top of my head, and in no particular order, I listen to the following artists in varying degrees.... Radiohead Smashing Pumpkins Nine Inch Nails Tom Waits Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Portishead Deftones REM Eric Clapton Clash The Doors Bob Marley The Cure Prefab Sprout INXS The Housemartins Marylin Manson James Coldplay Tool Pink Floyd Pet Shop Boys Morphine Silverchair Queen U2 The Beatles Jolie Holland Mansun Manic Street Preachers Prince/Victor/Symbol/The Man/TAFKAP/Whatever this month Eels Jeff Buckley Ryuchi Sakamoto Oasis Peter Gabriel Lamb Blur Metallica Genesis Sting Angra Pearl Jam Bj

Pretty funny, really

Who didn't? ... uhh... carry on.

...so does mine :ph34r: Whoa.

Jeebusohjeebus

The only thing I'd like to carry over from RPGs into real life was a quick transportation mode. Or overhead icons indicating someone's status. All else... meh.

O_O :: *fapfapfap* :: ...Or no, not really.

the irony is that exitium survived lawl Anyway, that's pretty bad. I hope the casualty number doesn't keep rising :/

That's funny, in the sense I don't recall ever mentioning that here (I only brought it up at the Codex and at Missy's, I think), but I could be wrong In any case, I'm sorry to disapoint you Phosphor, but I did not filmed myself doing something embarassing I might, one of these days, and if that turns out to be the case, I promise I'll show it off

Whoa. I didn't notice this earlier. Congrats to both of you, seriously
