I think noob bashing is so dumb.... you've never done this before, stop sucking at it!

[3rdplanet]

I think Slaughter of the Soul is one of those albums a metal fan should own for 'historical awareness' kind of thing, but I also think it's pretty overrated. I mean, it's all solid, and there's plenty of good riffage, but overall it just doesn't seem to be anything special to me.

I don't yet have Terminal Spirit Disease though, so I'm witholding judgement on the band as a whole until I've heard that.

hum, Slaughter of the Soul is the album I have been told is their best, hum.

I will pick up one of their records if it is cheap enough.

Well SotS is their "classic" record, their most well-known and popular one that everyone will name-drop as inventors of the more modern style of melodic death metal. But people whose opinion I actually take notice of (like Jondur) assure me Terminal Spirit Disease is better.

SotS is still more than worth owning though, it's a very good record. I just don't like it as much as many seem to :)

Here's an excerpt from the back of the book/new york times review:


Probably Garcia Marquez's finest and most famous work, OHYoS tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and dealth, of the mythical town of Macodno through the history of the Buendia family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad, alive with unforgettable men andwomen, and with a truth and understand that strike the soul, OHYoS is a masterpiece of the art of fiction.

New York Times review:
"OHYoS is the first piece of literature since the Book of Genesis that should be required reading for the entire human race.... reporting on everything that happened(in the town) with more lcidity, wit, wisdom, and poetry than is expected from 100 years of novelists, let alone one man... Mr. Garcia has done nothing less than to create in the reader a sense of all that is projound, meaningful and meaningless in life."

It's not a easy read, but it was definitly worth the time.

Fantasy books, so I suppose you won't like them if you don't like fantasy (dwarfs, elves, etc). It's pretty much the best fantasy series I've read (no, I haven't yet read Eddings); if you just want a good story, then you can just take it as a good story. If you want something more as well, then there's lot of subtexts about alienation and racism you can read into it.

RA Salvatore's books are fantasy/adventure and very very good, I suggest you check out the Dark Elf Trilogy and then the Icewind Dale Trilogy, then the Lagacy Of The Drow. I forget what his new series is called, I have the first book in it, The Thousand Orcs... the Hunter's Blade rings a bell though.

And if you like his books, I'd suggest checking out any Dragonlance books :thumb:.

When Heavy Riva comes on, ask him too, he is big on fantasy books as well :)

Yeah, a lot like LOTR, yet extremely different. They all have Kingdoms of Elves/Dwarves, and in a few, Orcs are bad guys/evil wizards and such. A lot of it is Tolkien influenced, but then weird interpretations, and more in depth, cause the authors aren't dying half way through writing the series.

Tolkien wrote his books in the 50's, he died in the 70's. He didn't die half way through.. :) I read a biography on him. His son published The Silmarillion after he died though. A few others also..

Yeah, I borrowed the Hobbit (picture edition, hurrah) from a library when we went on holiday, and read it. That was fine. I mean actually the LotR books.

Another Dispatch fan on MX, WOW. I love you 3rdplanet.



Yup, Bartender has it right, I ment send stuff, not the band, soz.

I think he meant dispatch as in send out his stuff, not Dispatch the band.

Incidentally though, Dispatch were one of the very first bands I found out about through MX, in a favourite acoustic songs thread, waay back in February 2002. To this day, I still only have three songs of theirs. I like those three, though.

I didn't know there was a Bruce Campbell one. Is it official at all?
It's written by Bruce. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312291450/qid=1107738403/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-8952886-6475314?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

It's really good if you like Bruce Campbell. Also, theres a new fiction book hes writing called "Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way."

Oh shi.... Paul started playing for the halftime show

Anyone else listening to the half time show? My dad is watching like four feet away.. Maybe I should look into more of Pauls stuff..

[munky_magik]

I did not know that, then again I am only a drummer.

(a musical term, meaning "silence")

Apparently so.

Which Paul is this?

Think they mean the Superbowl, not sure though.

[munky_magik]

Mcartney, at the super bowl halftime show.

[Kingofdudes]

Halftime show for what?

The Superbowl

[i am the robots]

so arsis is a musical term for silence they say?

[3rdplanet]

Ah McCartney, shoulda guessed.

[Bartender]

The Superbowl

Oh, right. What's he doing?

[munky_magik]

so arsis is a musical term for silence they say?
so they claim, most of the dictionary's have it as “the act of raising or lifting” or along those lines.

[munky_magik]

Oh, right. What's he doing?
Get Back, Live and Let Die, Hey Jude.

He's such a Beatles whore.

so they claim, most of the dictionary's have it as “the act of raising or lifting” or along those lines.

I understood, I was just bored lol

[Eitri Is Berserk]

Hey Jude right now. He's done a few others. I don't know the names.. Maybe some day I will.

See ya for now.

[Bartender]

See you later.

[jpj]

That was a damn good half time show.

[Freezing Moon]

The halftime show was pretty good, that's all I really wanted to watch.

No team preferences for me, but if I am going to spend time watching it, it had better be a good game. I guess if I had to choose it would be the Eagles though.

[munky_magik]

he was in the beatles..... unless you think he's an imposter
I know he was, but It's my opinion that he should leave it be and stop gaining success by continuing to build off of their legacy.

[i am the robots]

out for now :(

[Freezing Moon]

I know he was, but It's my opinion that he should leave it be and stop gaining success by continuing to build off of their legacy.

I agree, but it was a good show.

[munky_magik]

I agree, but it was a good show.
Eh...It just pisses me off. The Beatles were so much more than just Mcartney, yet he is still taking credit for the results of their combined efforts.

[magicbus]

That was a mellow half time show.

[jpj]

That was a mellow half time show.
Were you expecting brutal death metal or something?

[Moon Flavor]

That was a mellow half time show.
It beat any halftime show I've ever seen...

[Freezing Moon]

Eh...It just pisses me off. The Beatles were so much more than just Mcartney, yet he is still taking credit for the results of their combined efforts.

I know what you mean, I see your point. He should at least say "In memory of the band" or something, rather than play it like it's nothing.

[Freezing Moon]

It beat any halftime show I've ever seen...

123. Definitly a good show.

No, excitement was invented by giddy little schoolgirls, and should be kept away from football

You didn't think it was exciting? You must have terribly high standards for something exciting.

Yea, I loved it...I wonder if they played along with a tape though, it seems like they would :upset:

[magicbus]

You didn't think it was exciting? You must have terribly high standards for something exciting.

I just mean it was much quieter, laid back, and mellow than other half time shows I've seen.

[jpj]

Yea, I loved...I wonder if they played along with a tape though, it seems like they would :upset:
No, they didn't. The reason it sounded sogod was because you don't hear what is coming out of the amps, but it's a direct feed from the instrument. Or so my dad says.

[Moon Flavor]

No, they didn't. The reason it sounded sogod was because you don't hear what is coming out of the amps, but it's a direct feed from the instrument. Or so my dad says.
But I saw Paul take his left hand off his bass quite a few times WHILE playing

[magicbus]

'Nother Touch down pats :(

So you decided to watch it?

[jpj]

I just mean it was much quieter, laid back, and mellow than other half time shows I've seen.
I think you iz crazy. I didn't think it was laid back, I mean Live and Let Die is the opposite of mellow.

[magicbus]

I think you iz crazy. I didn't think it was laid back, I mean Live and Let Die is the opposite of mellow.

But it was piano and soft guitar!

[munky_magik]

So you decided to watch it?
Yea, it started alot earlier than I expected so I went for it.

I think you iz crazy. I didn't think it was laid back, I mean Live and Let Die is the opposite of mellow.
Hey Jude though?

[jpj]

There are very small spots in songs where there isn't any bass and Beatles' songs don't exactly have fast, aggresive bass lines.

Yea, it started alot earlier than I expected so I went for it.
Cool. I'm rootin for the eagles.

[jpj]

The guitar in Live and Let Die is distorted except for that part in the middle (would it be the bridge?) where it's all up-beat.

And Hey Jude picks up at the end.

Cool. I'm rootin for the eagles.

It's not a length of time, it's the number of people you give rep to. So you can't give it to the same three people over and over. It used to be 15 people, but I'm really not sure any more.

The limit?

[Eitri Is Berserk]

Bart.. I've been wondering about this.. If someone with neg rep ++reps you, does it take away, or is there a minimum rep level for everyone?

[Bartender]

Bart.. I've been wondering about this.. If someone with neg rep ++reps you, does it take away, or is there a minimum rep level for everyone?

I think people with rep in the negatives just can't affect anyone else's rep, other than to leave a message.

[munky_magik]

The limit?
As in the max you can give out before getting the "You have given out too much rep in 24 hours" message.

[Moon Flavor]

Bart.. I've been wondering about this.. If someone with neg rep ++reps you, does it take away, or is there a minimum rep level for everyone?
I had a neg for a while....I believe it gave out nothing

[Permanent Solution]

Bart.. I've been wondering about this.. If someone with neg rep ++reps you, does it take away, or is there a minimum rep level for everyone?
rep given is .02* rep you have, so if they have less than 50 they give 0 rep.

[Bartender]

As in the max you can give out before getting the "You have given out too much rep in 24 hours" message.

Oh. I thought it would be a certain number of people, but that's based on more or less nothing.

[Permanent Solution]

Oh. I thought it would be a certain number of people, but that's based on more or less nothing.
People makes more sense because I don't give out 7000 rep a day ever...

[munky_magik]

Oh. I thought it would be a certain number of people, but that's based on more or less nothing.
I think it's different for how soon you can rep the same user.
Even then I'm pretty sure that figure is way off.

[Moon Flavor]

rep given is .02* rep you have, so if they have less than 50 they give 0 rep.
So a person with neg 100 would give out like -1 if they had positive?

[Permanent Solution]

So a person with neg 100 would give out like -1 if they had positive?
No, negative is weighted as zero.
