It's a recent Finnish debut, pretty fine. Though I must say that SIGH will probably recieve a ton more listens than it, Ghost Brigade doesn't really take any strides, it's not original or anything, merely a good album in it's genre. Ghost Brigade - Along the barriers

Anime recommendations: Part 2
It's not nearly as bad as Dragon Ball. They get some development in. Dragon Ball just spent 3 or 4 episodes yelling and glowing yellow sometimes. Yeah, Bleach is pretty slow and probably will continue to be so. The movie that'll be translated in a couple of months might satisfy anyone who is annoyed with the long stares and endless blather. Of course it won't be manga canon, but the previous movie was pretty great considering the awful fillers after it, so I have my hopes up. Even though I don't exactly like Toushiro, he's overfeatured in the fillers as it is. Yeah, big freaking ice dragon, a kid trying to fill the shoes of an adult, we get it already, now bring on Kira and Soifong kthx!

How do I get registered as an Indian?
Yeah, I grasped that. Of course euphemisms quickly become marked, and then we need a new euphemism, an euphemism of euphemism hah, since they are all constructions. Labels should be based on mutual respect and not on some doddering terminological disasters.

KotoR 3: Ideas, Suggestions, Discussion, Part 24
It's also a good idea to learn to play a game. Sure, it's a different kind of challenge than turn-based or pause-based combat, but it also has it's own rewards. Believe me, I adore both extremes, indie 2d rpgs and new-fangled 3d real-time actioners like Mass Effect and Witchers. Then again, both also have a pause option. In fact, it's pretty hard to live without it after a while. In Mass Effect, the whole strategic command is based around the pause function, it's practically impossible to survive some fights if you don't take advantage of it. I just wish it was toggleable and not held-down.

KOTOR 3 Release Speculation
Alright, fair enough. Please be Chult, please be Chult, please be Chult! The messages in the loading screens hinted there. They can avoid the whole 4th edition mess by having it based there, it's remote enough.

This poses the interesting dichotomy of whether Arcanum had a generic enough premise that anyone could come up with it accidentally or maybe vellen has partial memory loss.

KOTOR III MMO Confirmed?
Why is MMOs a dying genre? I mean, ffs, World of Warcraft, Everquest 2, Lotr Online, millions of Korean small-morpgs, around two dozen recently announced new mmorpgs(including Tim Cain's new project). Taking all of that into account, I think it's only fair to say that we have a very healthy genre in our hands.

Why?

Why all this eagerness around KOTOR 3 or MMO?
Actually, it's otherwise a good argument, except that Starcraft was kept alive by it's awesome multiplayer, Battle.net, Korean tv and hordes of Blizzard fanboys. It's one of the very few games(others being Diablo 2 and Half Life for instance, all multiplayer) that has been a steady seller ever since it's conception and that is mostly thanks to the greatly balanced multiplayer that has been supported by Blizzard ever since. But I kind of agree, it's a bit early to get feisty over a sequel, you need to give the gaming biz time, it'll come back to milk franchises, they are afterall franchises.

Anime recommendations: Part 2
I think I watched a trailer and found myself bored to tears. Ugh, I stopped watching El Cazador because it wasn't going anywhere and I could find better ways to kill time. After Noir, I guess I was too hyped for Bee Train. Damned shame anyway, since I was just looking for a decent story. Instead it was just an endless road trip with an uncharismatic cast(I mean, even Texhnolyze - the grayest and most brooding anime ever - had more interesting characters) and a plot that didn't really know where it was going. Noir was enchanting because it used new visual techniques and a plot that paced itself extremely well, but El Cazador was just a bore. In a nutshell, after El Cazador, watching Vision of Escaflowne feels like the birth of a renaissance in the medium.

Yeah yeah, the first track is about Lord Soth and the second to last track is named "Takhisis Dance", but as darkwave goes, this is quality stuff.

The Savage Frontier games were pretty good as well. And the Ravenloft Games and Dungeon Master ones, but that's a whole different genre altogether. Edit: Goddamn bandwith-scrooges, can't link to Death Knights of Krynn gamebox, so that's the original art.

What are you playing now?
Which Croatia mission were you having trouble with? If I had to guess I'd say the low power base defence mission. I just re-installed the game for my brother to play and I'm considering another run. That level is supposedly easy if you constantly unpower everything you don't need and repower them as needed, like anti-air systems for instance. And anyway, GDI is better off using missile squads and pitbulls for anti-air, their emplacement turrets are abysmal compared to Nod's.

Nokturnal Mortum - Taste of Victory Really solid bm, even if it's ns-themed once in a while. The end is rather beautiful.
