i agree. no matter how it turns out, a huge proportion of the people will turn away, as the thrill of the novelty will be gone. this time around they have to convince people to stay for the music. many (myself included) argue, that they only became this famous in the west and in the metal circles, because besides being gimmicky the music itself was proper, clever and heartfelt. now this second time around they need to achieve the difficult to again bring something new and quirky to the table, while at the same time being the solidest as fuckest metal record you can imagine. that sample seems like they at least have this second point already covered pretty much.

man what a hymn... can't wait for their comeback, let's see if they manage to be more than just a one time curiosity

dragon age inquisition. already about 80 hours in and i think i still haven't even finished half of it. Currently specing my party up for the first dragon fight (which has profoundly kicked my ass already a few times, i think i'm still a bit underlevel). i love it to bits, it looks gorgeous, the characters are without exception great and wellwritten/-voiced the atmosphere is nice and it's insanely big scale. that beeing said i think i need to ditch a whole lot of how i play this game. i'm usually close to a completionist when it comes to RPGs because side-quests are usually so cool. problem with DAI is, it kinda has a MMORPG attached to it's core game with all the usual MMO quests, and they suck bigtime. especially when it's so many. whole areas have only maybe one relevant character to speak to in it. but then they are completely filled with collect some of this, hunt those, clear out these camps A, B and C, protect that etcetc. i think it would have benefitted a LOT if it was more streamlined to the actual main and character quests. still one of the best games i played in recent years, i'll probably have a second playthrough, just to check out a second set of a party and a main with different values. this time i'm a male elf mage, party usually with dorian, cassandra and cole. naturally i'm in favor of free mages, also pretty much goodwilled but flatout atheist. so the next one will probably be a female human shield-warrior (btw. warrior is such a badass and complex class to play in this, usually warrior is kinda dumb, but here, maaaaan) evil/egoistical, possibly racist and super religious, with vivienne, iron bull and sera. maybe vivienne, solas and sera, not sure... EDIT: also, i'm playing entirely in tactical on nightmare, maybe to change things up and speed them up a bit the second playthrough in action-mode on normal or easy...

i've seen everybody and their dogs fan-rage about that d'angelo album, and that sample shows me why that might be. have to chekc this one out for sure, aswell as all the rest, my library has been kinda static these past months so this and the 25-mh-mas list are very appreciated

what i meant with that was: damn, 35 bucks each

two gigs at Zeche Essen? damn they must be pretty confident (and both 35 bucks, goddammit) A+ tourtitle tho... ("F*ck the past, F*ck the future")

it's been a while that i've seen a church from the inside, but when recording blackmetal it just seems appropriate... #swagorgan also guitars... kvlt imagequality

to be honest, the album was kinda meh for me, but that sample-song it self, daaaaaaaaammmn. it's just one of those songs that have something about them, in this case some simplicity and riffage that make you want to randomly throw your extremities around in a wild attempt at dancing, making yourself look really silly. A+ song, C+ mini

tinnitus

there is one album by undead corporation that has a similar direction

ok, so i have marathoned dragon age origins the whole last week (96 hours according to my last savegame) now while the game has it's flaws (pretty average run of the mill "word in danger from zombies/orcs and their demon overlord" harsh spikes in difficulty camera with the mind of a rebellious teenager some rather annoying or boring level-design (the fade, dwarven deeper grounds...)) at the end it still is an extraordinary and marvellous game that i enjoyed to bits. seriously, these have to be the best written characters and dialogues i've ever come across in video-games, zevran and morrigan are just perfect (and were my in-game love interests ). on top of that this game actually is daaamn dark. many games claim to be, but this one has some serious grit to it. if given points this definitely is a strong 9/10 i plan on skipping the DA2 as it seems to be much more action-oriented (i personally played DA:O on nightmare almost completely in tactical mode) and supposedly much more cleaned up compared to the first part, and jump right into inquisition next, which everyone seems to be loosing their minds over atm

also topp dogg have put out a new pv which is as 90's as it gets, damn those moves, HAMMERTIME! funky as hell too

halfway through second episode of parasyte i decided to drop it. it all seems to be done so incredibly half assed and lackluster, without any kind of idea what kind of athmosphere to focus on, so they just don't do any. the parasyte itself is annoying as hell as are pretty much all of the characters so far. the worst of all tho is the music, and i don't just mean the weird dubstep attack in the first ep, everything else is also quite literally just two random loops out of the "garageband for newbs"-library smashed together and that's it. let me know if it gets any better, so far violence and weirdly deformed corpses have been the shows only selling point, but thats not enough.

this is one of the good points actually. their own music isn't really worth mentioning anymore (live-shows aside, they still seem to be pretty awesome with those)

i would suggest adding pc/mac as video-games platform aswell, making it a sort of "what do you play your games on?" poll, because with this broad kind of question it doesn't really make too much sense to exclude desktops/laptops. that said: of course "None, cuz what is technology." and cuz PC masterrace reppin' (although i do have a PS2 emulator on there, don't know if that counts ^^ )

also in video-form now damn guys dis gun be gud!

[because doubleposting is only for teh kewl-kidz!] also new vixx teaser. looks like another nice theme-based video with tiny bits of story scattered around (go full on terminator pwettypwease? #lolnotgonnahappen) not that excited about what we here of the music so far, but as that's just some measly seconds the full track might be better..

okay, so i'm currently playing divinity original sin with a friend in co-op, and it's magnificent! the quests and characters are very humorous (think like the more funny parts of the elder scrolls games), the graphics are actually quite beautiful (not in a "whoa next gen" kinda way, just in general nice aesthetics) but most of all the fight system is magnificent! this is turn based battles in all of it's glory, some f the bosses are frightenly hard, but you always have tons of options how to proceed. we are playing as a black-mage (me) and an assassin, so my friend focuses on dealing tons of damage, while the mage basicly controls the battle. stunning, freezing, and blinding enemies, using the terrain (Water/Blood/fog and electricity, oil/poison and fire etc). buiding barriers of earth and fire, trapping enemies behind, or flatout porting enemies right in front of the assassin, teleporting huge barrels on the top of the enemies heads etcetc. it's a blast! we both play as "lone wolf" so we get stat and exp boosts, but can't have any additional party members, otherwise you could get up to 4 ppl, which either makes the battles even more strategic, or perhaps enables some point by numbers routines, i dunno. as a team of two it's a bliss tho

for whom it might concern in the light of the "Dragon Age" Series imminent arrival of the 3rd installement, the praised first segment "Origins" is now downloadable for free (for PC master-race...) http://kotaku.com/dragon-age-origins-is-free-on-pc-right-now-1643895713?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook&utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow

also they've just posted it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKYzrvTsAoM

it seems like after some more poppy endeavours block-b might be back to the nastier side of things thumbs up from me although it's just a concert unfortunately

first song and PV is out it's nice^^

nice! not that i dislike naruto, but i like it that the story finally comes to an end. it has been dragging on way too long already. looking forward to it and the anime-adaptation...
