That sounds rather epic I suppose there is some truth to that. Show No Mercy was also a great album; Black Magic, when you hear it for the first time, it's totally spellbinding, holy shit, I can hear that riff...magic...I've always found Hell Awaits to be the most overrated of their early albums, to be honest. It really started picking up...well, of course you know what happened with Reign...it's brutal, dissonant beauty personified. As for Megadeth, yeah I totally agree with you there, Countdown had 2 or 3 great songs, and the rest was shit. After that they released the odd good song, but never really in the same vein. However you can't deny that Megadeth's first 4 albums, especially Peace Sells and Rust, were totally unparalleled by almost anything, regardless of genre. Btw, listen to Rotting Christ...brillaint... Edit: This reminds me, you weren't here back in the day of my crazy metal threads were you? Maybe I should resurrect them...

Holy shit! He's back! Hurrah!

I presume you're talking about Possessed. I don't know, I've always seen them as thrash. Saying that they invented Death is a bit bold in my opinion , and just because one of their songs is called Death Metal. Of course, you could be making the utter mistake of saying that Slayer invented death, in which case I'd have to slap ya S.O.D suck pretty hard , but yeah, I said that it was just some of the more prominent ones. Out of those, my favourites are Megadeth...infact, my favourite anything are megadeth. Damn, I even have Dave Mustaines signature guitar (the good one, not the budget one :p). As for Sabbat, you really have to hear some of their late demos to appreciate how damn amazing Andy Sneap was really getting. I have them on tape, I really should get digital versions.

Just one from each? That's asking too much (or too little, depending on which way you look at it)

Nah, I'm not wound up, just bemused at your gargantuan level of stupidity. Of course, with Fields, it's the simple matter that I hate his shitty guts. Now someone like Zell for example gives a reasoned view of what he thinks and why, instead of the ignorant bullshit that you spew on a hourly basis.

Oh shit. Man, I'm running out of rants, I'm gonna take a break on this one. Swindle my ass.

The only game that has better graphics than this right now is Metroid Prime 3. Oh man.

Er, on current evidence, that is clearly not a Wii game . Fucking nice.

Right, of course, I'd like to stay here and make idle threats, but I have better things on my mind. Hows about you piss off and go masturbate some more.

As far as Black Metal goes, all I listen to is Rotting Christ, Emperor and some Immortal, and if you call Behemoth Black Metal, then them too. My taste in Death Metal is similarly limited, there have been some utterly stonking bands like Decapitiated, Vader, Death, Deicide etc, but the majority of the scene (I'm looking at the Cannibal Corpse crowd) sucked so bad it was hilarious. So, taking that into consideration, my favourite is obviously Thrash (out of the ones available , I'm aware that Bodom and Killswitch for example belong to different genres...), there were so many ridiculously fantastic bands from that time...I don't even know where to begin: Possesesed Kreator Sabbat Megadeth Metallica Slayer Anthrax Testament just to mention the most prominent ones. Bands were spawned that were truly timeless. The sense of speed, technicality and pure visceral aggression is totally unrivalled in any other kind of music, and that I think is what people fail to understand about metal. Beautiful.

Happy Birthday dude . Make up for lost time then eh?

Right. Of course theres the fact that I've been doing shoto since I was 11, and the fact that I'm kinda built like a bear, but nevermind, I'm sure some pansy white boy has to pull out the shit sometime or another.

I hope so. The first one was pretty much on par with Ocarina of Time.

There are few times when a man says something that makes me blank out in furious anger. I suppose it's a natural reaction to prevent me from hurting someone/ myself. This was one such time. If there was anything you could have done to prove your stupidity beyond your posts in the "Creationism VS Evolution" thread, this was it. Shapes on paper. All I want to do is find you and beat you into a bloody pulp until you are no more. I shit you not. I think I'm going to bust a nerve if I'm forced to endure you for much longer...You're on a gaming forum and you're saying that Art is pointless. Even the most basic of games, even pong...fuck me, why am I even trying to explain this to such a simpleton. Truly. Beyond. Words.

It's not at all. For that matter I could argue that as an "academic fucking discipline," geography, history, all modern and classical languages, and English are a waste of time (of course, there's no point in doing things like Maths and Physics at all unless it's academically). You clearly talk out your ass. Especially for someone who probably doesn't do A level art. Arsehole.

Of course, that's bullshit. I'm doing A level Art at the moment, and 2 out of 3 projects/ pieces of coursework, I've determined what I want to do, and I've gone ahead and developed myself. The third was of course the exam, which I'm still doing, but I got to choose it myself out of a selection of questions. You've obviously never done art. Shit, how did you manage to get a U?...I worked for like the last month and got an A* o_0

He has a point to an extent. But what he's failing to see that Wii does have potential. I don't think Nintendo have stopped seeing games as art, games like Metroid Prime 3 are testament to that, but at the same time, I wish thy wouldn't churn out shitty minigame compliations like no tomorrow. It's a mixed bag at the moment.

I wasn't talking about you mate, I was talking about the people you were referring to in that post.

Kill me. Please.

Yeah, I mean, if most NES games look artistically superior, then you know you've got a problem.

I don't actually remember the one from your signature. I've got Seasons 1, 2 and 3 on DVD, but I can't find 4 and 5 anywhere. It's a godly show though. Hehe, fucking love the vid man.

Yeah, definately get some Black Mages man. Holy shit. So amazing. Download "Those Who Fight Further," I learnt to play it all including the keyboard parts .

Oh yeah, I mean that whole album, the 3rd one, starting with Other Light... Anyway, you know at the ending credits? Seether's song "Fine Again" was playing, and I was like "shit! this is Kurt Cobain!" I was so confused. That was a really great song .

Yeah. Come on guys. The story is a bit lame. Or a lot lame. If there is really a story at all.

Nah, Cube launch and the next few months were amazing. The thing is, Nintendo promised so much more with the Wii, and yet, we're getting less.
