  1. Ooh, that was pretty good. Eddit: Ho, I listened to another song, Panzer as well. I might have found a new band! Thanks samm. Here, have some abnormal rock: Babylon Whores - Sol Niger Ike Vil's vocals are awesome, otherwise the song wouldn't be able to carry so well.
  2. Aw, it's alright. Things will be alright between you two. I just know it! *hugs you*
  3. You want nervous? Borknagar - Future reminiscence Too bad that's the only song off that album in YaToob.
  4. Fighto fighto! There's no Shadow of the Colossus on PC! PC loses!
  5. Then he's awesome.
  6. Gire - Az őzek fut
  7. Gire - N
  8. I knew it. I freaking knew it! Lousy friend though, not giving you a Stalker apellation.
  9. Aah, Lyric Suite gives very good points. I agree that if we take into account the whole span of Conan's life, the martial aspect of his later years becomes apparent. He did lead army corps and the arguabley the greatest kingdom on the then-Earth. fighter levels are not out of the question. And there's no arguing his intelligence. Sure, Howard wrote the character partly as a response to the pulp characters of the era that would constantly end up in pinches, like being trapped in a room with a slowly descending ceiling, and then make an ingenious plan in a matter of moments that wouldn't only save the character, but the princess as well. Howard's Conan wouldn't dally around coming up with rope tricks and matters of mass and balance, but would trust on his instinct to kick in the door next to him and cleave the skulls of the dead-yet-dreaming gods behind it. Conan doesn't really conform to the archetype of a stupid but strong caveman, his bouts of intrinsic animality were about instinct intellect, an insight that took over when he was thrust into situations that were initially out of his control. Just like LS wrote, outside of battle, Conan was a rational character, very conscious about survival, but intelligent. As for the weapon, he used whatever was in hand at the time. As a king, I think the used the Phoenix-inscibed sword, which apparently was larger than a lonsword, but during his life Conan was accustomed to using everything from bow to various eastern scimitars.
  10. The Cold War was a lie. A facade created to fool the unthinking masses, the cold war was a plan to fool everyone to turn their gaze away from the stars. While Earth languished under the cleaving iron curtain, a secret war raged throughout our solar system, on Jupiter's moons and on Mars, in space and in gassy athmospheres of distant stars. A war for the think-metal, nanometal originally found in the Roswell crash zone, waged with highly advanced warmachines sprung from the think tanks of Soviet and "Free world". A war whose proxies all the conflicts of the 60's were. The real cold war, in the freezing depth of space and the crushing atmosphere of never-ending methane deserts. This "biometal" could be near-instantly formed into whatever suited the needs of the powers. In specially prepared melting pots, the alloy could be programmed to form into anything from giant walkers to cd-players. You think technological advancement was fast in the 20th century? That was merely a ruse, what must have seemed great leaps to the regular terran, was actually an ingeniously conceited slow leak off the near-infinite knowledge gained from biometal to Earth. In secret, the powers that be made a pact to keep the metal under cover and continue the proxy wars to conceal what actually was a conflict of stellar proportions. The two sides seemed to be locked in eternal combat, until someone, some misguided cretin in either side of the conflict managed to merge the biometal into a human body. What resulted was a super soldier program, intended to end the war which sprung all wars. Never even considering the origins of this wonder commodity, the scientists recklessly exploited the living metal, unconsiderate of what might happen. When Earth celebrated the victory of man over space and Armstrong walked the surface of moon, simultaneously gigantic walkers and jets piloted by men born from a union of Adam and xenosteel made their first steps on the surface of Titan. But then something unexpected and critical happened: While the super soldiers, called Furies, were a success, something stirred in the nanometal. Ironically, the soldiers did end the war, but not because they were an asset, but a threat. Some kind of genetic memory in the metal turned the supermen on their masters. The two sides of conflict saw the threat to both of them and in secret unified their forces: Biometal would become a gift for all of Earth, but only in organized secrecy. The International Space Defense Force was born and not nearly too early as, when the 80's came to their tumultous end on Earth, the original masters of the biometal were found. The Scions had returned. And after reciting all that from memory, I now need to go play Battlezone 1 and 2. Goddamn you all!
  11. ^Mother Earth is their best album, Silent Voice and the newer ones are way too flimsy, they have no character. Jesper Kyd - Jerusalem horse ride Yeah, yeah, but ti's good.
  12. Primordial - As Rome Burns \,,/
  13. Sorry, I didn't mean that choice was wrong. Just making an observation. I see your choice is based on something.
  14. I think it should be made clear here that Finland has near-zero gun-related crime even though we are the third most armed nation in the world(IIRC). At least in this case, sctricter gun laws would have amounted to nothing. I understand though that like in Dylon Connie's case, no one should be able to get hand grenades and automatics in their grubby paws. Those are not some hobbyist paraphelia, like the .22 Auvinen had which is easily acquired, but tools for killing.
  15. I forgot Prey completely, I should probably look for it in the bargain bin in the meantime.
  16. I don't count them either, but I know when I've breezed through something. And Halo 2 was a breeze, Quake 4 an undertaking.
  17. Apparently the books are a lot more gritty than what the game shows. I doubt that they added the adult aspect there just because it would sell the game. Surely it probably amounted in the decision to add the tarot cards and whatnot, but I think Geralt's donjuanism(hahhah, neologistic disaster has born) is by-the-books. Not really integral, but a flavor that, should it be omitted, without it the Witcher as an adaptation would not be true to it's roots. That's how I see it, at least. Ugh, I wish to eventually get to play it. This is more of a discussion for the Witcher thread, however.
  18. Uuh, nice. Of course, the stats cannot really amount to Conan's superman-like robustness, but in terms D&D, I think that your build is pretty spot on. Interesting choice though, bastard sword.
  19. Well, I don't think it has been a standard length in anywhere else except console fps. Halos are notoriously short fps.. The last 6 pc fps I've played, which would be Quake 4, Half Life 2, Far Cry, Chrome, Doom 3 and Unreal 2, all were over 15 hours long, some yet longer like Far Cry and Quake 4.
  20. Sir, sir! We've found ay witch! May we burn her?
  21. Today, tomorrow and the days after that are going to be about parties until it all culminates into the Sat ancient history examination - or rather, how I will fail in it. Our teacher is a yutz who is only interested about Roman religions and politics and our only lectures into stuff that I was interested in, namely the colony period and the 5th century ad, were very inadequate.
  22. It has boobs and blood, of course Gamespotters and Gamefa...qqers love it.
  23. Feel the embracing warmth on the bosom of the Obsidz regulars! Not.
  24. I still don't get how you can't like FarCry. I know, you've explained in detail before, but it's one of my fave fps' and otherwise our tastes seem to mesh well enough.
  25. That is ****ing awesome.
