  1. Me neither, there never was any topics about it. Should have been at least stickied.
  2. Dissection - Night's blood Ooookay, I'll take back every negative thing I've ever written about Dissection, this album is musically superior to pretty much any black metal album I've heard since before Borknagar's Epic or Immortal's At the Heart of Winter. I'm like the worst possible judge for this genre, since I'm not really a fan of any of these bands and think it's really hard to mosh to the rythm of anything in the genre, which severely degrades the whole metal experience. Especially, since the word "brutal" gets thrown around too often and and that's a surefire way to get the me interested, since generally in metal, the word "brutal" is often just a different way of saying that an album is "as groovy as a moose on steroids". The sad truth is; most black metal albums aren't. Screeching and having a frigid sounding wall of guitars on your hands goes quite a ways to ensure metal enjoyment, but those things alone don't mean jack crap, if the album is just one storm of wails and guitar-wrecking soundwall. I know some folks get off on that crap, but I prefer more than a semblance of melody and rythm on my aural vices of choice. If I want a nonstop loop of grind, I'll go to a glue factory meat processing unit and mosh away. I call a Meh. Technicality and absolute bombastic epicness are great themes on where to build an album in a genre so retarded as metal, but they're like two fifths of what consists a great album. Groove(or jam), great rythm and sense of pace are often what's lacking here on the bm-side and no matter how ****ing "Norwegian" you think you are, your music is still brain-dead cacophony and guitar-wanking if the last three fifths of awesomeness are nowhere to be found. Fortunately enough, Dissection's Storm of the Light's Bane has no lack of melody, pace and groove. Someone could whine about how it's "too melodic" or how the band members were a bunch of chaos magick pissants who tried to be eeeebil. True and true, but does this somehow degrade the album? I think not. Lyrics are lyrics and what does it matter if the lead man only hired guys who he thought were atheist enough, if the music really shines. He's dead and buried, but this stuff...damn this will live on. For the little jonn
  3. They could go out with a bang. Or at least a biff.
  4. Meh.
  5. Hmm...maybe. When I can finally find it cheap.
  6. I think you mean Michael Jordan.
  7. Don't. Just don't.
  8. There's something in a mod that portrays dark age Britain in 400 AD and borrows heavily from Bernard's Cornwell's Warlord trilogy that gets my manjuices flowing. Arthurian: Total War will be absolutely ****ing glorious.
  9. Thanks, yeah I harbor quite a bit of hate towards mister Rautianen. Amorphis - Magic and Mayhem Freaking brilliant, worth it's name.
  10. What's a "wasichu"?
  11. Succinctness? Never! Linguistically|Musically speaking, Conciseness:Baley::Timo Rautiainen:Musopticon. Eh, these days I do most of my "listening" on the DVD-player between Farscape episodes. I'm a sad, sad Nerd. True. NOFX - The Decline. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You always lose me nowadays. Why have our thinking gone seaprate ways, dear Baley? Or is the internet making me stupid? Amorphis - Forgotten Sunrise
  12. You just can't write that you "haven't had the time to wholly listen it but will do so. I like it so far"? Amorphis - Into Hiding
  13. Deus Ex requires you to kill 2 people. Gunther and that manager-guy with the enhancements.
  14. Yeah, the first Tomb Raider is really good, second is fine too. I still haven't tried the third one although I've had it for 7 years. Should I?
  15. There will be a mod called Alexandros for the expansion, which will something in the vein of Alexander:Total Realism. The expansion might be worth getting after that thing. But buying from the net is icky.
  16. My pal made the hottest woodelf imaginable. Yeah, I mean that. I don't get boners from game characters anymore, thank heavens, but he really outdid himself with that. I mean, you can make good work with the ditor, it's a great program. Pity that the game was never any good.
  17. I have a beard, it's not cool. *ahem' Anyways, I used to platinum blonde, like my dad but my hair is gradually getting darker and nowadays it's almost grey brown. And I have some grey hairs. Real gray hairs, so I guess stress is a factor.
  18. Except the Williams' sisters. I don't get them, where's the fun in winning all the time.
  19. Edge of Sanity - Crimson
  20. Just wait till I get a camera. Just wait.
  21. You are still confused.
  22. That's a nasty defect and very harmful.
  23. Thread went whooooooshhh for me
  24. I don't think you can "inherit" homosexuality. :D I doubt that you could breed out gays by not letting them breed. That sounds so wrong.
