THe price ?
42 cents.

42 cents for the original version? I thought they were hard as hell to get or is it just Rust in Peace? To be honest, I've never listened to the original versions of their albums and I'm happy enough with the remasters.

And he reviews a Castlevania game he hates. I'm looking forward to the last part which hopefully has Symphony of the Night. I hear a lot of praise for that game and watching James play it would most likely get me to play it as well.

Epic. But who cleans up all that blood?

Who cares about the blood?

LOL! Now why on earth would Manowar make a jazz-influenced song? They're completely different to King Crimson but both are still great nonetheless.

How should I know King Crimson makes jazz-influenced music if I don't even know them?

This is where Wikipedia comes in handy. OK, they're also prog rock but their second and third albums are jazzy.

But with Rhapsody of Epicness (What? Epicness isn't a word?), it would be perfect.

Epicness should be included in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Indeed, I should suggest them to make it a word.

One problem though, the furry haters. :P Even though dragons aren't even furry creatures and shouldn't even be treated so. Still, we need dragons with swords for dicks.

I just went to a nearby pub which actually had a bonfire. I haven't even seen a bonfire in a few years now so tonight was a real treat for me.

I'll give you this point as several times I felt melodic death metal was out of place to the rest of death metal.

So maybe SBM and MDM are dissed metal genres because they are the most commercial metal genres out there

This is the most common reason as to why people are hating Dimmu Borgir. Commercial or not, I'll look into more of their stuff and decide on my own opinions. I already know not to get their latest album. The two songs I heard were subpar.

Right. But if you are looking for posers... the SBM scene is where you'll find the largest amount of them. And that is as true for the fans as for the actual musicians of the band.

Say, aren't there symphonic elements in some of Emperor's stuff?

"DAAAAH !! Power chord."

One thing I will say about the band, though. They look fucking ridiculous!

I don't particularly mind the Castlevania marathon. I was wondering what he was going to do for Halloween and Castlevania made sense, even if he's more happy than angry in these reviews. The break from shitty games is well earned. They're not his best reviews but still enjoyable nonetheless.

Because I thought it was some song from Manowar. A quick look on google told me that this isn't the case at all. -.-

That's typical hate in the metal community for a lot of bands.

A rank gained by passing LockClock as expected. It will be a while before another rank up, so my focus is on TheDepthsofHell for the time being. I'm getting close to him now and he keeps slipping away.

If Virtual Console for DSi is on its way (I highly doubt is anytime soon, though), it would at least make up for the loss of GBA slot but I'd still much rather get a GBA SP and the game cartridges than a DSi. I'm still not fond of the DSi.

I remember when this game was first released but it was one of the many PS1 games I never picked up back then and wish I did. No confirmation on coming to PS Store just yet but I'm willing to get this game on disc sometime in the future which is what I'll have to get since I still haven't got a PS3.

Why should I? It's my sword.

Indeed I have and it's a really interesting album but I still can't help but think that The National Anthem was inspired by King Crimson.

Lol, I doubt it. But I wouldn't be too surprised if that really was the case. ^^

Have you even listened to King Crimson before?

As a matter of fact, I prefer the cover over the original. Then again, it's Rhapsody, they can increase the epicness of songs like The Power of Thy Sword.

Yes, they should simply rename the band to "Rhapsody of Epicness".

Now I wonder why they didn't name themselves that and went with Rhapsody of Fire instead..

Halloween in the portal sure kept you all busy this week. Myself, I didn't really get myself to celebrate Halloween this year, even though I had some thoughts on how to celebrate it this year (besides listening to Helloween :P). Oh well, there's always next year.

Also, you know what the best part of Halloween is? It's not celebrating the holiday by going to Halloween parties, it's not watching/playing horror movies/games and it's not even listening to my favourite band Helloween. It's all the sweets that are left over as trick-or-treating has become almost non-existant in my area. So much sweets and so little kids taking them. How many trick-or-treaters did you get this year?

In other news, the latest Pentalist update was posted today.

You MGS-head, you!

And what's wrong with that exactly?

Thanks for the update. I'd been checking (the old link...) a few times in the past month and wondering why it was still showing an August update... can you let me know next time you switch hosts, plz? I need to change the link in my sig to point at this webs.com site instead of bravehost.com or whatever it was at prior (update #15 is still showing as most recent there).

Oh shit, I thought I mentioned it to you. This is why you need to check the BBS more often and I DON'T CARE WHAT EXCUSES YOU HAVE!

WHERE'S THE JOKE?! I DON'T GET IT! <--- That's a link BTW.

I actually watched that. Can I have my 23 minutes back now, please?

You didn't enjoy Nostalgia Critic? Oh well, your loss.

No account = no following. Thank god. :::shudders:::

https://twitter.com/signup - There you go.

I did read about 10 or so of your recent tweets, though. Egad, man. You've turned into a typical Tweeter/Twitterer/Twittor/Twit/whatevert hefuck with that "I AM SO DRUNK RIGHT NAO" tweet right there.

Please check it again. I now have something special.

Let's just hope we get enough great reviewers. *Looks at Haggard and Coop* These are great potentials.

What about me?

Oh wait... yeah. ;_;

If you were as active as them two, then yes.

Do they really matter? What matters is the game itself.

Of course they matter. Sidegames and minigames and other such things add to replayability, add to potential challenge/difficulty, and add to the variety of gameplay styles present in a game.

That's from your perspective. Those challenges in Portal don't mean much to me.

That's just comparing them in a different way. If it were games themselves, MGS4 would be longer, even if you cut all the cutscenes.

Longer isn't better.

No but some games can be too short, though and Portal is very much so. Those challenges don't do enough justice. We need a Portal sequel, not a Left 4 Dead sequel. Dammit, it's reasons like why I'm beginning to hate Valve more and more.

Have you ever replayed MGS1? I'd say that game has great replay value since every time I want to play MGS4, I'm always beating it at least twice to view both endings.

Yes, I've replayed MGS1 once. I've also replayed Portal once (the plot part, I mean). I enjoyed my replay of Portal more. :::shrugs:::

Funny, I've played through Portal five times now. See what I mean by it being too short?

Damn, I found out what went wrong. I fucked up with the average number cells which is why you all got lower rates than you should have had. Here's the correct list:

Which are the only two songs I genuinely care about from those albums.

That's a fair opinion as the epics are their best songs.

I gave Pentagram a listen to a while ago but couldn't get myself interested. I did give Trouble a listen to just before and I'm enjoying it. I'm still hoping to get into more doom metal.

Planet Gemini.
Damn fine band.

If they're like the aforementioned bands and their albums are free, I might as well get them.

Congrats to our newest Wi/Ht? Regular, michelinman!

Helloween - Walls of Jericho

So, I was too busy watching the baseball last night... perhaps tonight... no, there's baseball. Monday is baseball and Tuesday I'm at friends, but we'll see.

More Futurama references? Fuck, I'm starting to forget things. I blame myself watching horrible Simpsons episodes again.

Save that for the Poozy haters.

Already saved, my good man.

Say, has Poozy seen that video yet?

Would have been good for Toohot to blam last night but meh, I was with my friends all day and couldn't be bothered with getting blam points for my alt. Oh well, there's always other times.

Listening to:
Radiohead - Everything in its right place
Radiohead - Kid A
Radiohead - The National Anthem

All thanks to me.

Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1. What else would I be listening to?

Maybe Kid A? :P

Not a bad guess but come on, it's the one band I have to listen to on Halloween.

No, the only butter-made weapon is the "golden" hammer.

Oh, okay. Then it will do, I guess.

I still remember this being about Daylight Saving bullshit, so...Let's start a riot. *starts swinging his sword everywhere*

Here's an idea, let's start discussing bands we like. :P

Yeah, so did you listen to Kid A yet? ;)

Indeed I have and it's a really interesting album but I still can't help but think that The National Anthem was inspired by King Crimson.

Here's a good start. ;)

Didn't listen to it, but I'm sure it's much better than the original. :P

As a matter of fact, I prefer the cover over the original. Then again, it's Rhapsody, they can increase the epicness of songs like The Power of Thy Sword.

Good idea, that's what I should start doing. A PM can't hurt.

Looks like you can't find the time anymore. It's a shame we use to talk quite a lot.

Yeah, I miss him too.

It was a very close one but congratulations to michelinman for becoming the newest Wi/Ht? Regular! :) Unfortunately, due to sorting by sign-up date to determine the one new regular for this month, Hacsev didn't make it this time but I wish the best of luck for the next update.

Exclusion Votes (sorted by votes ascending):

1 -- YoungAndWise

No-one was taken off the list due to having at least three outvotes but yet another regular has requested to be taken off the list due to lack of activity. LegolaSS wished to leave the Regulars List and like the previous retired regulars who made this request, he is more than welcome to return if he feels he's up to it again sometime in the future.

The Legacy has a few weak tracks but it's still a great album, most especially when it has epics like The King for a 1000 Years and The Invisible Man. Also, I agree with you. The first one is the best. Infact, it's my very favourite metal album.

Yes, listening to this song on Halloween has become mandatory for me. Infact, I'm listening to the Keepers albums as I'm typing this.

Listening to: Helloween - Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone!

Listening to:

Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part 1. What else would I be listening to?

Good point, playing Fallout 3 now?

Hahaha, I'm afraid that will have to wait for the time being. I really need to give other games a chance and Fallout 3 will most likely take 2 or 3 months. Also, I could be getting games for Christmas.

I don't know. It kinda looks as if it was made out of butter.

No, the only butter-made weapon is the "golden" hammer.

But you WERE discussing about the band to me. What you said still counted. Let's continue with bands we like.

I still wouldn't say what I said was "discussing something". :P

Here's an idea, let's start discussing bands we like. :P

Yes we have and now Poozy won't be able to kill me with any cranes.

That's it, Poozy, you're done.

Save that for the Poozy haters.

It's funny because in stories, it's often a knight killing the dragon (this sounds so harsh D;) with his sword but here, it's the dragon who's holding the sword...Oh well, twice the fun with killing humans! >:)

I should listen to some Rhapsody to learn how to kill dragons...

Here's a good start. ;)
