Talk about music, movies, TV, books, other types of entertainment and what your vices are. Also, if you're addicted to the high you get off Aspirin, this is the place to talk about it.

Omikron was awesome. If you liked it, I highly recommend Anachronox, chances are you'll like it.

I read a scathing review of it in CGW, and that turned me off. But Game Revolution gave it an A. I just don't know who to believe!

Dream Theater has an excellente guitarist. One of the best in my opinion.

I agree John Petrucc, and John Myung, hell all of the band sure provide some X-E-lant progressive metal to play fallout by. I even have some of their first recordings when the sounded like Iron Maiden..now there is another great band.....and what about that crazy death metal band from Scandinavia Entombed! they rock!

I haven't listened to much Entombed or Dream Theater... I guess I'll d-load some songs so I'll get a rough idea of how they sound like.

np. Ensiferum - Old Man (Vaka Vanha Väinämöinen part I)

Entombed played a few dates in CA with 'Fear Factory' and 'Exhorder' and smoked them so bad it wasnt funny. I like their live work better than their recordings.

Yeah, some bands are like that... I know a bunch who plays a whole lot of cover songs (well, not necessarily the same thing, but anyways). The cover versions they play live sound mighty and fine, but when I go home and look for the track from the internet or borrow an album from a friend of mine with that specific song, I usually get disappointed. "What the fuck this is pop-rock hippy bullshit to cry out loud!" But when they play it live... It's like the 7th level of Heavy Metal heaven.

Could be because of my bad musical sense or their shitty covering, who knows?

Oh my god, Marathon 1, Durandal and Infinity were awesome, 10 times better than Halo, IMO.

Singleplayer was weird, creep science fiction, the multiplayer was fun, the guns were satisfying, especially the shotgun.

Thought I'd move this thread here since it seemed appropriate.
