Things aren't looking good for the Eagles :([/QUOTE]

I've restored the posts we both deleted..might as well make sense, and get the extra postcount at the same time :)

I thought you weren't watching the Superbowl?

I dunno.

I'm really sorry about that though.[/QUOTE]

It's not really a problem :) Just gets annoying seeing people constantly tearing into noobs.

I was hoping to get away with it :p
And I didn't realise it was on this early, I thought it was gonna start about 3am.

But it's fun.

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

[QUOTE=Bartender]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.[/QUOTE]

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.

Off-topic: Has anyone read One Hundred Years of Solitude?

This is the off-topic thread y'know :p

[QUOTE=Otherside]Off-topic: Has anyone read One Hundred Years of Solitude?[/QUOTE]

Nope, what's it like? I need a good book to read.

wait is it 1,000 rep for stars or 10,000?

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]hum, Slaughter of the Soul is the album I have been told is their best, hum.

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 :)

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]wait is it 1,000 rep for stars or 10,000?[/QUOTE]

1,000, 90 days as a member and 1,000 posts.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]wait is it 1,000 rep for stars or 10,000?[/QUOTE]

1,000


EDIT: this isn't a good day for my posting :-/

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]Nope, what's it like? I need a good book to read.[/QUOTE]

If you want a good book to read, I can recommend you an entirely amazing series:

The Belgariad (series)
The Elenium (series)
The Mallorean (series)

[QUOTE=munky_magik]1,000[/QUOTE]

ooh, nice :).

I'm pretty close then.

Now I'm in a pickle, I will probably get Terminal Spirit Disease, for the reasoning above.

Can borrow Slaughter of the... if I need to aswell.

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]Nope, what's it like? I need a good book to read.[/QUOTE]

If you like comedic books, The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If nothing else, you'll get a lot more of the banter between myself, magik, zepfan and others.

R.A. Salvatore's novels for Forgotten Realms (the Drizzt Do'Urden books) are beyond excellent, as well.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]ooh, nice :).

I answered first, why'd you quote him :(

What are they like?

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]Nope, what's it like? I need a good book to read.[/QUOTE]

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.

[QUOTE=Bartender]I answered first, why'd you quote him :([/QUOTE]

Well obviously that means Me>you>non HHG people :p

There's not enough spam here...

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]What are they like?[/QUOTE]

Fantasy/Philosophy rivaling LotR in writing ability, but much longer of a series, meaning more fun :D

[QUOTE=zeppelinfan2k3]There's not enough spam here...[/QUOTE]


oh ok

no seriously, I saw his first, sorry moddy mcmoderson.... btw, if you put someone on your ignore list, can they rep you?

Yes, but you wont see it.

I may get Hitchikers Guide... out of my college library, 'cause a friend recommended it aswell.

What are the R.A. Salvatore novels like?

*Loads of info flying at me*

I'm not really bothered, and I have no idea.

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.

Can you ban Meandevil Bar? He's spamming with Who killed kurt threads.

[QUOTE=3rdplanet]Now I'm in a pickle, I will probably get Terminal Spirit Disease, for the reasoning above.

By all means, just get both. Slaughter.. is worth owning anyway, and if TSD is better, as I've heard, then you can't really go wrong :)

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, it's the Hunter's Blade trilogy, I think. I haven't read that yet, though. I really need to start buying Salvatore's books (I just borrowed a friend's when I read them before).

[QUOTE=^Dream~Theater^]Can you ban Meandevil Bar? He's spamming with Who killed kurt threads.[/QUOTE]

I'll ban him if he makes any more, but two isn't spam. At least, not since I think he made the second just to add a poll.

hum, sounds interesting, I've never read a fantasy novel (asides LoTR, movie) but I would like to try all aspects of Literature.

I would love to buy them, just I have little money, and loads of albums to buy, so I have to be very strategic with my purchases. :(

Has anyone read The Lovely Bones?

Not sure what you mean :-/ Tracy Hicks? Or Hickman or something.. sounds familiar. I don't think I'm that knowledgable on books in general though.
