    That's a close second

    My mate wrote this riff, for which I've harmonised the sweeping and tapping sections, and it's awesome:

    My guitarist wrote an amazing riff today that I've just harmonised, as the bridge section of a song, and it sounds ridiculously good. Been playing guitar and GTA all day, nobody else in the house so just been chillin .

    Motley Crue are the epitome of all I hate about the world.

    Do I win? Also: I suppose people say it to signify that they're moving on from what they were saying before.

    Oh the joys of being Canadian.

    Well if it was on Wii it wouldn't be a remake so much as a port. I'm talking full next gen graphics, because the only thing I can see the Wiimote being used for is the darts minigame.

    Most likely does not equate to "best." Also; Shenmue remake plz. Dying to play this properly without having to track down an overpriced DC copy.

    That's because rechargeable AA batteries suffer from rapid degeneration through reuse; they're recharged through a reversible reaction just like the ones in the play and charge kit, but the difference is that the active material degenerates, resulting in a loss of energy storing potential. Soooo, it's better to get the play and charge kit cause it'll last you a lot longer. [/mumbo jumbo]

    Hehe, nice. I needed 7 marks out of 90 in my final English exam for an A (I was on 473) got 81. I was awesome I always hated physical chemistry, mainly because I have an innate loathing and complete lack of comprehension of maths. The Hess' law cycles and GF-E calculations were soul crushing. Module 3 was the one I was best at, but all the subsequent modules always had some sort of physical elements. I barely managed an A in Chem, got 496 overall I think. I actually really like Biology. It was good to understand how things work on a chemical level, but I'd rather know how my immune response works than learn a stringent series of curly arrows and colour changes caused by things I'll never fully understand unless I specialise in that subject. I mean, maths is just a bunch of disembodied number manipulations, how is it supposed to be relevant to anything? I suppose the narrower the definition of a subject is, the broader it's correlation to everyday life becomes to someone not planning on taking it any further.[/rant]

    Colours? You're doing A2 right? Shit, that brings back memories of colour changes, complex ions and ligands. No idea what any of it means though :p.

    I've just got the urge to go watch Jurassic Park. Fucking awesome film
  13. The Bard
    Rock Band has Blackened? Holy shit. I must find someone who owns it. I can play that song deaf and blindfolded.

    Gears of War is all I ever want to play online.

    Anything by my favourite musicians reminds people of me because I never stop talking about them :p. A friend told me a long time ago that Sculpting The Throne ov Seth by Behemoth and The Bard's song by Blind Guardian always remind him of me. Anything by Weezer, but especially Keep Fishing reminds me of Flinky, because of their whimsically endearing nature = p Take This Life by In Flames (as meh as it is) reminds me of my first real girlfriend, because it came out the week after I started going out with her and I remember walking down to the library with it on repeat. They both have a brief elating quality I Disappear by Metallica and Lounge Act by Nirvana remind me of my best friend, because of their combined sense of alpha maleness and overbearing angst (and also because he always plays these songs in the car) Lay Lady Lay by Bob Dylan, anything by Asian Dub Foundation, Lover You Should Have Come Over by Jeff Buckley and Black seeds of Vengeance by Nile remind me of my last g/f. Morissey reminds me of my old art teacher, who is the most empathetic person on the planet, because of an argument we had about music. Samson by Regina Spektor reminds me of some friends in my A level English class who got me listening to her. Glass Prison by Dream Theater reminds me of my friend Ben (who was also on N-E for a short while). lot more but that's all for now.

    It's not scary, it's just brilliantly atmospheric. Although, suspension of disbelief is something that should be exercised when playing the sequel. The level with the mannequins is fantastic. Edit: I'm stupid.
  17. The Bard
    You know all the negative preconceptions people have about metal being? Disturbed the physical embodiment of those cliches. Of course, they do add their own flavourings with Ape noises and straitjackets and whatnot.

    Yahtzee is a hack. Condemned 2 was a lot of fun, which is just about all you're really expecting from a game about bludgeoning homeless meth fiends with lead pipes.
  19. The Bard
    Burn! lololol.
  20. The Bard
    Go for Larkin, it suits you :p Condemned is amazing. Condemned 2 is also ridiculously cheap considering it only came out a little while ago. Gamestation do it as part of their 2 for 40 deal.
  21. The Bard
    Yes, but physics is for lab coat wearing, machine calibrating, neutrino inventing, number fiddlers. Chemistry is clearly more awesome Ugh, can't get to sleep
  22. The Bard
    Shit. I've been smoking for a month now (not my fault, going out and finding a 20 pack in your jacket pocket after a night of drinking has consequences). Reminds me of Le Chateliers; "a system in equilibrium will react to oppose any change imposed upon it," (yes, I know theres a physics one about equal and opposite reactions, but I'm not that nerdy). Now I just want to get drunk and watch Equilibrium. I think I'll try to stop when I go on holiday. It shouldn't be too hard, I don't have more than 2 or 3 a day. I hope.
  23. The Bard
    Fair enough. There's actually two tracks on Ride that I think are weaker than everything else on Ride/Puppetz/Justice... those being Escape and Trapped under Ice. I also think that Hetfield's voice fully matured on MoP, and it was still a little uneven on RTL. Everything else is fantastic.
  24. The Bard
    Yes, but then, the Backstreet Boys compare favourably to those albums. Yeah, Unforgiven has some of the best lyrics Hetfield has ever come up with. As for AJFA, I think it's the definitive Metallica album. Mikael Akerfeldt also lists the song "To live is to die" as one of the major factors that influenced his writing. So there you have it. Opeth may not have been as awesome as they are if it wasn't for AJFA
  25. The Bard
    That's hilarious. The God that failed is pretty bad. There are only three songs on the Black album that are great; Unforgiven, Nothing Else Matters, and...well, My Friend of Misery, because it has a brilliant solo. Sad But True is heavy, but also incredibly monotonous and repetitive. Sandman is so damn cheesy it makes me cringe. (Same goes for Fuel btw). There are some good riffs on that album, but almost every song feels overcooked and samey. Metallica's best albums in order: ...And Justice for All/ Master of Puppets Ride The Lightning Kill 'em All [/end]
