The Bard

Just completed Gears on Hardcore. People always go on about Raam being real hard to beat, but we managed it the first time through.

This isn't the "Rate the band above you" thread.

I played it once at a friends place many moons ago, and it was something wicked at the time, never played another game like it. I hope I get the chance to play it again sometime...8/10 (But only cause I never played it extensively). Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike .

Yeah, I totally agree. Trivium's latest album, while a good album, still was hugely disappointing. It could have been so much more, when they stick to their guns they put out thoroughly amazing albums like Ascendancy, I think it's a total shame that they fell the need to try to immitate other bands, because each band has it's own personality, some bands like Metallica are totally inimitable. They're still pretty young though, like 22 being the average age, which is funny cause Kill Em All came out when all of Metallica were 23 or thereabouts, so I still have very high hopes for the next album .

I just don't think they should have approached it the way they did. They tried to be more technical than their instrumental skill could really handle, so they're trying hard to play all these quasi technical parts, and the songs suffer because of it. Machine Head aren't capable of writing very complex music, they should stick with what they can do. Songs like Imperium and Old are what they're all about. There wasn't a single song on that album that I enjoyed. I think the reason they did what they did was out of envy, they bring in all these young, technical bands like Trivium on tour, and they show up Machine Heads musicianship completely. It's a huge case of "me too" ism. Yup, It's the next evolutionary step .

Nah mate!!

OMFG, it's you sat next to that prick Tom Delonge!

Yeah, I consider Megadeth to be slightly better in some ways than Metallica. Mustaine wrote most of the riffs on Kill Em All, and some on Ride The Lightning, like Call of Ktulu, which is probably the most underrated song of all time. He didn't write any of the riffs off Puppets as far as I'm aware though. Get Rust In Piece by Deth.

I'm only going to say this once more: Stop making jumb jokes. They sound nothing like maiden, and they're one of the best bands in existence. What do you think of ...And Justice dude? Thats my favourite album by them. Simple awesome.

Played them all, got bored of them all within a couple of days/ hours. I don't tend to go for mediocre games you see.

I'm selling a ton of Fighters for PS2, aswell as one of the best Arcade sticks available for that system. Clicky...or head to the Private Trades board .

Help guys, I've been trying to find it for ages, but I can't find ep 2 anywhere .

Yes. Yes I can. Actually, I think it's probably a hell of a lot better than that Vengaboys bullshit. God knows why some of the forum members've been listening to it. It makes me want to kill. *Stews in anger*

10,000 words...you must be fucking kidding me.

All of Chrono Trigger.

Stop making dumb jokes.

Sunn aren't what anyone would call mainstream. Ever.

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you're the all knowing sage, and therefore nobody else on N-E could possibly know who Sunn are. Jamiroquai. Probably the worst pile of horsewank to pass for music these days.

Sucks . 2/10 How about... Sunn O)))

There was nothing I was interested in after I completed Zelda. I'm the kinda gamer that comes for a long single player campaign, and stay because I'm really really, hyper competitive. Wii games are about just light hearted amusement, not about serious competition, and that's why I don't really go for it. Still, Smash Bros, Metroid, Mario and Batallion Wars are just round the corner, so I'm not saying Wii is always going to suck software wise, but I'm just disappointed because the first 2 months of Gamecube gave me twice as many awesome games as 5 months of Wii, which I haven't even bothered to turn on for near enough a month. I meet my fellow Wii owners in school, and everytime the topic comes up "When are any good games coming out for Wii?". I just don't think that Wii is going to be as appealing to me as the Cube or N64 were, and thats a damn shame.

Either way, it's still one of my favourite consoles of all time, and I've only owned it for 3 weeks. With my Wii, I got bored after about 4 days. Not to mention that my Wii broke about 3 months after I bought it.

OMFG, Guitar Hero has Hangar 18? Trust me, it's much much harder to play on an actual guitar

Teh bay of teh E. Be prepared to pay upwards of 50 quid.

Agreed. Same with Pulp Fiction and infact, any Tarantino movie.

Bollocks. True, the first time I heard Redneck, I thought it was Pantera, although a much improved Pantera, but nothing else from that album really sounds like Pantera at all.
