This is so old it even was old when I was young.

Xcept Champ!

Have fun traveling! And don't forget to visit Cologne!

Funny. I can barely distinguish the new and the old vocalist. I was quite fond of that album.

And well, there's also a new Alkonost album, if you care for them. I didn't check that one out so far though.

I doubt that Korea won on the virtue of its metal scene either.

I think the exact title was "World Cup of Rock" and I believe for MTV everything is "rock" that isn't classical music.

Korea won.

I... never really listened to his bands, save a few Kagerou songs... but this is quite a shock. So sudden. O_O

They haven't updated their studio video diary in quite a while, which is a shame because I want to know if I won Warlords mic filter. ^o)

But they were gone pretty far already so it can't be that long anymore. Probably somewhen in autumn or early winter.

Any new releases from the Folk scene that I should check? I'm still lagging behind on new shit.

I think I already recommended you "Sidh" by Bran Barr a while ago. And the latest albums by Heidevolk and Wulfgar, which were decent at least.

Things to look forward to is a new Elvenking album (first song can be previewed at their MySpace) and, hopefully soon, the next Turisas album.

Well, I'll look into it, but I can't reproduce this error. I only see gibberish in the preview, but once I post it, the japanese is fine. Maybe try setting your browser to different encodings (Japanese, Unicode, etc), or only copy and paste with the japanese input enabled.

What OS and browser do you use anyway?

Wat, no

I just forgot to turn it on for this subforum.

Works now.

Does the problem still persist now that we had upgraded to Zetaboards?

A new hard drive.

And not by my own choice.

For a band with 3 guitarists they were a grave disappointment for me. =/

I expected more badass-ness.

'Sexual Desire' isn't that much of an improvement either. I don't know what Juka/Shaura is trying to do, but he really should stop those falsettos. They sound pretty ridicolous. :ph43r:

I have no clue really. As you said, it works fine for me, whether I copypaste the japanese or input it manually.

Do they turn to gibberish right after you copied them in, or only after you posted them?

I think the referee did a good job. It was an aggressive game with a lot of tension, so I'm not surprised that there were so many yellow cards.

I agree. If anything the referee misjudged on the side of caution. The yellow cards were more or less all deserved, and some should have been more. Van Bommel and De Jong shouldn't have been on the pitch anymore at half-time.

If the referee from the Germany v Serbia had been there instead the game would probably had to be called off for lack of players after the first half, lol.

The refereing was probably the big let-down in this tournament though. Not only because of some major bad decisions, but also because of inconsistency.

Overall it was an ok tournament. Started slowly, ended rather miserable, but there were a couple of nice matches inbetween. I especially enjoyed Slowakia - Italy, USA - Slovenia, Germany - Argentina and Germany - Uruguay. And maybe Ghana - Uruguay for the drama, lol.

Diego Forlan will get the golden ball for best player of the tournament.

Thomas Müller will get the golden boot for top scorer. He has also been awarded "best young player".

It's a pity that Uruguay lost against the Netherlands and that Germany didn't really turn up against Spain. Germany - Uruguay would have been the better final. But well. That's how it goes.

So Spain it is. Probably deserved in the end, but it surely wasn't a pretty game to watch. At least it got a bit exiting at the end.

Anyway, the good sides:

1. The octopus was right again.

2. I got 5 points in my family-internal prediction game (1:0 for Spain was my prediction and I even got Iniesta as goalscorer right)

3. Thomas Müller has become top scorer of the tournament since neither Villa and Sneijder scored.

And another 30 minutes of this misery.

And pretty much all yellow cards were VERY deserved, some should actually have been red cards.

Ugh, and it continues. There are 2 or 3 players that should have seen red by now.

Dreadful game so far. Both teams foul like crazy.

Can't we just replay the Germany - Argentina or Germany - Uruguay game instead of this crap?

Seriously hope it gets better in the 2nd half, maybe once one team scored.

ah i see thanks i was trying to rip of the new Previews of D'espairsRay lol will they work on there site? lol

Audacity works with any site, because it isn't dependant on the site itself.

All you have to do is play the song and record it at the same time with Audacity. It's a bit tedious because you have to play the whole songs and can't just download it like with some plugins, but if the links are protected against direct rips it's the only way I know to grab the songs. You also have to make sure you record it in a decent volume, ie. not too low and not so loud it causes overmodulation.

Here's a quick guide how to do it:

And no, you don't need a microphone for it, just a soundcard that allows "Stereo mix" option, which I think most do.

Nothing really, which I why I'll move it.

Depends on what site.

For some sites a plugin like DownloadHelper does the trick, while other sites like MySpace protect their links in which case I use Audacity to record the song.

So, Germany won against Uruguay 3-2, the octopus was right again, and even though (or maybe because?) it was really about nothing it was a very worthwhile and entertaining match too and Müller scored again, if Villa and Sneijder don't score tomorrow he'll be top scorer due to more assists. Good times.

Congrats to Uruguay too, they played a great tournament.

Well, onto the final now. Somehow I fear it will end in a rather dull 1-0, but I hope I'm wrong.
