Yeah, we're trying to think of what to do after 40 days.

kurrpt 03-06-2006 10:40 AM

it was in the bargain bin for 20 bucks, and i couldnt pass it up. The game didnt have the book. I asked the cashier if she could give me a book from one of the other games. No go.


The game wont save. Im hoping im doing something wrong

[QUOTE=Stoic]Exactly. Also, I'm thinking that it wasnt Hitler himself who did all this but people who carried his orders. If they had ALL decided that what they were ordered to do was paranoid and quit nothing would have happened. What makes people change so much at times of war?[/QUOTE]

Hitler was a man who was a master orator, but not exactly a genius writer. He was basically the equivalent of a used-car salesman today in that he could con people into believing in both his personal ideology and Nazi ideology. Additionally, he did a remarkable job in playing on citizens' paranoia and fear. Because he could manipulate people through his propaganda at such an astounding degree, people bought into his practices and completely disregarded any morals that they did have.

And for good reason: if you disagreed with Hitler and the Nazi party while they were in power, you were sent to the concentration and extermination camps in addition to the Jews, gypsies, etc.

I should imagine having a huge wank may be in order.
Your balls could be all swollen and blue :(

Hitler's mastery of public speaking made him immensely powerful, basically he played, as Jom said on the paranoia created by the depression in Germany at the time, where there was an amazing amount of economic loss. He blamed the Jews for this, and, as is human nature to blame anyone else but yourself for your problems, the German people readily accepted this explanation.
Aswell as the fact they would be killed or put in camps if they didn't agree, or appear to.

[QUOTE]Looking at actual footage of the Holocaust is very difficult. I remember my eight grade trip several years ago, we went to Washington DC.

Some of it made me scared out of my mind and other parts made me want to throw up. all I really remember is wanting to get out of there as soon as possible.[/QUOTE]

Terrible place. Absolutely terrible place. My parents thought it was a great idea to take me when I was 6 years old. I didn't exactly go into the main exhibit, but the kiddy exhibit, the one that was dumbed down to fit the needs of children.

I was smart enough to understand. I still think back to the pictures, especially of a little boy, starved to death, his ribs exposed, just staring at the camera with a blank expression. I remember just not talking for the rest of the day, because of all the stuff I had to digest at that moment.

gayness takes a WHOLE new form after hearing that...



speaking of gay-sh!t, my girl rented and watched "Rent" yesterday. I refused to watch the movie and kept making references to Team Americas "everybody has AIDS" song.

The first thing she said after she watched the movie was "Everyone in that movie DOES have AIDS!!"

Is that from CKY, or a CKY related show?

i am the robots 03-06-2006 12:46 PM

No, it has nothing to do with CKY whatsoever (thank God).

Also, the industrial thread is pissing me off... Atreyu Breaking Benjamin (as usual) has no clue what he's babbling about and is pissing me the hell off...

Apparently In Flames past three albums are the farthest thing from industrial possible... hmmm /listens to Quiet Place...

Yeah that's definately melodic death metal!

I think it's retarded to hate joke bands, they're usually just poking fun at things they listen to, the kids from AIDs are [I]really[/I] into black metal.

Me and my friend Erik love power metal, but Dragonsbane Upon The Wings Of A Winter Night is too fun to just drop because power metal is good... it's freaking funny too!

PinkFreud 03-06-2006 01:15 PM

I guess, for me, it depends on how "jokey" they are. I would consider Electric Six a humor-rock band and I love them because they actually have pretty good song-writing and clever lyrics, not to mention actually witty lyrics. If band tries to hard to be gimmicky or joke-oriented, it can get tedious.

Tyler 03-06-2006 01:17 PM

Speaking of "jokey" bands, Nanowar aren't very funny...or good.

Mazeppa 03-06-2006 01:23 PM

To be fair it isn't so much the bands so much as the fans. For exaple:

-People always trying to put on funny music at parties and such regardless of many times it has already been played (I'm looking at you Tenacious D)

-People playing the intro to Tribute or F[SIZE="2"]u[/SIZE]ck Her Gently on thier guitars over and over again (I'm glaring at you Tenacious D)

-When people endlessly quote or worse start up an impromptu sing along of some funny song/s (I'm aiming a gun at you Tenacious D)

Does that clear thing up a little?

Whole-heartedly agree. You can't go to a party, have a get together in a room, or even just hang out with friends here without Tenacious D being brought up, played, or sung. And they're not exactly a band that could stand THAT many mulitple listens.

guys, do me a big favor. Check this crap out, and give me your brutally honest opinion :

KurrptSenate: i might could...
KurrptSenate: whats up?
KnightBalla44: well we have a bass player and another guitarist, but like i said we wanted to go with 3 guitars so if ur interested it would be cool
KurrptSenate: what would I be doing?
KnightBalla44: playin some leads on some stuff, playing octaves on some rhythm parts, some solos
KurrptSenate: ill have to see man

Bartender 03-06-2006 01:32 PM

I actually like (some of the music of) Tenacious D just for musical reasons. I mean, yeah, you can get a few laughs out of them, but the ones worth listening to are ones which are just plain good songs. Same with Amateur Transplants - after forty or so listens, parts of the album are starting to lose comedic appeal. I wouldn't keep listening to it, or enjoying it as much, without some of the songs just being good songs.

But then, I've not had this experience of people trying to sing them at parties, so maybe that'd change my mind.
