What's so monotone about it? I happen to like that song. :(

It's the same piano tune over and over and over again. Drove me insane when it was in the hit charts.

I this drives you insane, then you must really hate Queens of the Stone Age, lol. Their songs consist mostly of only a few riffs that are constantly repeated.
I think I lost my headache - Especially the outro, which starts at around 3:39 and gets really weird (and annoying ^^) after the 6 minute mark.
Song for the dead - Again, a very weird (and annoying to some ^^) outro.
Everybody knows that you're insane - Not so annoying outro this time. XD But still, only about two riffs make for a whole song. ^^

What the fuck. If 83% of the people screw it up, it's most likely not their fault. The test was just too hard.

Yep. Some students told they went to the Prof after the test and said: "About 90% will fail this test, it was too hard." and the prof just replied "I know."

Damn. Again, I'd file a complaint against him. An 83% fail rate is not a good test. I think you'd have a right to complain if he's gonna be like that.

Yeah, the students filed a complaint at their student representatives. Hopefully they will get somewhere with it...

Doesn't seem like it though. They always sounds a bit aggressive or dominant to me.

It's just because of the stereotypes you have about germans. :P
But seriously, I guess it's pretty hard to make out the tone or the intention of the speaker when you hardly understand the language.
Of course, the german language makes use of pretty hard sounding tones like the "ch" or "t" and "k" and "ck". Maybe that makes it sound agressive to someone who doesn't understand too much.

Hmm yeah I guess it could be the stereotypes and indeed if you don't know a language that well things can always sound differently. Plus, maybe my idea of German people is mostly shapen by WW2 movies :p

But you should know that in WW2 movies there's only pidgin german, not real german. :P
As for example in Daffy - The Commando (yay for another youtube link! But This one is really funny. XD). At 1:03 the text says something like:
"Idiot !![it's spelled wrong, should be two 'm' instead of only one]
Isn't this a sauerkraut potatöe ["kartoffel" is written without an umlaut] soup not eating made veal the Apsen [? this isn't even a real word] of history."

Maybe it does sound like german to someone who never heard german before. But for me it sounds just like the random gibberish it is. XD

Yep. Maybe if I had played computer games in French instead of English I might have had a feeling for it. But nonetheless I'm glad I developed my English that way instead.

I never liked the french language too much, to be honest. Everyone says that it sounds so "beautiful", but I think those nasal sounds sound pretty stupid.

I don't like it either, but that's mostly because a lot of French people I met were arrogant assholes :p

And they don't like to learn English either, so why should I learn French?

I guess french people don't like learning foreign languages because of all the "h" sounds, lol.

Lol :p

Luckily they didn't go with entire history of London when they decided to call it London.

Hm, but once you learned the name of the town you've learned about 90% of english history already. Wouldn't be too bad. ^^

Well yeah but it would be a bitch if you had to tell people to which towns you've been this holiday.

Would be interesting:
A: "So, where have you been to in your holidays?"
B (one our later): "And that was only the first town we've, been to. The second one was..."
A: "OH GOD NO!!!!!"

Yes. And by your rational that means they are one better than Manowar. :P

But at one point, Manowar WERE the loudest band in the world.

Indeed. And that's why I seldom watch TV anymore these days.

I think that applies to all of us.

Ugh, Dancing on Ice as well. Besides the odd few good shows like Futurama and Metalocalypse that are still around, it's reasons like this why TV is dead.

Comedy Central is the only thing I turn on sometimes, for shows like Futurama, Family Guy and South Park. I don't always pay attention though.

I do have Comedy Central here but they're so slow to get new Futurama. I don't like Family Guy and I never really paid attention to South Park. I should but I'm so far behind.

I'm really looking forward to when that day comes but I highly doubt the masses will smarten up.

I don't count on it.

Haha, who would? Just shows how little faith we have in humanity. :D

A MOTHERFUCKING MILEY CYRUS SONG!!!

What kind of song? :p

A GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING MILEY CYRUS SONG! UGH!

Wow, luck is on our side today, especially when it's bank holiday Monday. It's a sunny day today so it's more than good for a barbecue.

I'm jealous 0.0

LOL, you are jellyous.

That reminds me I've only had one real BBQ this summer. I call 2010 the year with the worst summer ever.

Wait what? I thought you had plenty of sunny days.

It depends which game you're playing. For platformers and racing games, I'd much rather play on the consoles but for FPS and RTS games, keyboard and mouse are very ideal.

Yeah I can imagine RTS work better on the PC. FPS games work good as well I guess, but I have no problems with playing them on consoles either.

They can be alright on the consolses but they're more ideal on PC. Well, something like Metroid Prime is better on console, of course.

I only played one of them for ... 10 minutes maybe. Can't even remember which one it was. I think I actually didn't like the 2D all that much, but I should give them another chance someday.

I wouldn't be surprised if you played the original Metroid. That can be a real turn off.

That's one of the best things about Metroid Prime 2. The boss fights are some of the best I've seen in any video games. There was quite a lot of depth in some of the bosses which is what made them really good. It wasn't a simple hit them on the weak spot three times, they gave you a much bigger challenge than that.

I agree. I think they were the best boss battles I've ever experienced. Some of them were a great challenge, like the Boost Guardian, and the final bosses of the temples were totally epic.

Haha, Boost Guardian was the hardest out of the lot. I remember everyone complaining about the difficulty of Boost Guardian but I've managed to beat that mofo on hard mode.

I was actually a tiny bit disappointed with the boss battles in Metroid Prime 1 (I played 2 first). I thought there would be more and I thought they would be harder. The battle with Meta Ridley was awesome though and the other bosses were still much better than the bosses in most video games I played.

Of course you'll be disappointed with the bosses in Prime 1 if you played Prime 2 first. Still, they were good experiences. I'm surprised you played Prime 2 first.

Yeah the sequel had some in the beginning. Unlike MP1, MP2 actually had a friendly character in the game and with that came some dialogue although it was nothing much. I wish that Luminoth would've been more present in the game, but he was only there to teach you some things.

There's plenty of dialogue in Metroid Prime 3. However, I feel there should be little to no dialogue in Metroid games.

lol, it's Guitar Hero Metallica. The only band specific games for Rock Band so far are The Beatles and Green Day. And yes, there is some Iron Maiden in these games. I really want an Iron Maiden GH/RB game. Now THAT I'd buy in an instant.

Lol. Personally I'd go for The Beatles but I might've bought AC/DC as well. Then, if I still had some money left, I might take a look at Maiden (if it existed).

I was thinking of getting The Beatles Rock Band. Not sure why I haven't picked it up besides the fact that I need money and space for the peripherals. The AC/DC thing is only a song pack and not an individual game.

I'd also be waiting for a Pink Floyd Guitar Hero, but I don't think that game will ever come.

I'll be surprised if they never made a Pink Floyd game.

Indeed she is. Infact, she even wants to dress up like Immortal for Halloween. Yeah, the song itself isn't that great but what you need to focus on is the video itself.

Don't know the song, but heh... you don't see many girls like that.

Nope but I do like the fact that my sister likes most of the music I'm into. She was the one who suggested our baby cousin to have corpse paint at his christening.

Good luck! If you don't get it, you know what to do on their car. :P

Not to worry, it's September now! I have several things to look forward to this month.

Yeah, Labor Day weekend in the US is going to be nice and that's about it for me. Nothing special this month but it just means the end of summer and the beginnings of the nice Fall weather.

Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't even made posters for that.

Seriously. It's ten times better than a cat on a clothesline 'hanging in there.' Go buy the rights to Futurama and start making those poster!

My basic vote counts as 7 votes from a non-user :D

I think that applies to all of us.

Indeed. I think not many people of our age still watch TV and if they do they usually go to the internet. At least, the people I know are like that.

Comedy Central is the only thing I turn on sometimes, for shows like Futurama, Family Guy and South Park. I don't always pay attention though.

I do have Comedy Central here but they're so slow to get new Futurama. I don't like Family Guy and I never really paid attention to South Park. I should but I'm so far behind.

Heh, I noticed in London that there was a lot of Family Guy on BBC 3 in the evenings. I thought that was nice.

I know Comedy Central is slow. Recently they started with broadcasting Futurama and right now they might be in season 2... I haven't really followed it.

South Park is... well I thought it was fun for a long time, but recently I haven't been too interested in it anymore. I think it mostly appeals to 15-18 year olds. I still think it's a clever show though.

I don't count on it.

Haha, who would? Just shows how little faith we have in humanity. :D

Well I still have faith in humanity but not so much in the entertainment industry.

What kind of song? :p

A GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING MILEY CYRUS SONG! UGH!

DAMN DUDE!!!!!!!!!

Why would anyone want to cover a Miley Cyrus song?

I'm jealous 0.0

LOL, you are jellyous.

Lol :p That sounds like one of those things kids always say.

That reminds me I've only had one real BBQ this summer. I call 2010 the year with the worst summer ever.

Wait what? I thought you had plenty of sunny days.

No way man. Today was the only day I've seen the sun this month and it was only for a few hours. Several streets in cities were flooded due to rain. Late June / early July was the only time we had decent weather. Also I heard this was the second worst summer since 1906.

Yeah I can imagine RTS work better on the PC. FPS games work good as well I guess, but I have no problems with playing them on consoles either.

They can be alright on the consolses but they're more ideal on PC. Well, something like Metroid Prime is better on console, of course.

Yeah I don't see how that would work on a PC.

I guess the mouse just works well as an aiming device and that's why it's more ideal.

I only played one of them for ... 10 minutes maybe. Can't even remember which one it was. I think I actually didn't like the 2D all that much, but I should give them another chance someday.

I wouldn't be surprised if you played the original Metroid. That can be a real turn off.

I played a remake on the GBA of something. Could be that it was the original Metroid. I think I had some difficulties with the aiming in the game and that also turned me off.

I agree. I think they were the best boss battles I've ever experienced. Some of them were a great challenge, like the Boost Guardian, and the final bosses of the temples were totally epic.

Haha, Boost Guardian was the hardest out of the lot. I remember everyone complaining about the difficulty of Boost Guardian but I've managed to beat that mofo on hard mode.

Lol, yeah I beat it on Hard Mode as well, but the Boost Guardian is a total bitch. Mainly for being out in the dark atmosphere with no light crystals. Damn. I think he is the only halfway boss that took me more than five tries.

I was actually a tiny bit disappointed with the boss battles in Metroid Prime 1 (I played 2 first). I thought there would be more and I thought they would be harder. The battle with Meta Ridley was awesome though and the other bosses were still much better than the bosses in most video games I played.

Of course you'll be disappointed with the bosses in Prime 1 if you played Prime 2 first. Still, they were good experiences. I'm surprised you played Prime 2 first.

Yeah I just decided to pick Metroid Prime 2 up someday. I had no idea what to expect, cause I never played Metroid before. I just wanted to try a futuristic FPS game and ended up buying that. One of the best impulse buys I've ever done.

Last year I ordered Metroid Prime 1 because it was only 13 euros. I was very happy with it and I still gotta do a second run through it on hard mode.

Yeah the sequel had some in the beginning. Unlike MP1, MP2 actually had a friendly character in the game and with that came some dialogue although it was nothing much. I wish that Luminoth would've been more present in the game, but he was only there to teach you some things.

There's plenty of dialogue in Metroid Prime 3. However, I feel there should be little to no dialogue in Metroid games.

I agree. I was actually a little turned off when I saw that. The total solitude and silence is simply part of the Metroid series in my opinion.

Lol. Personally I'd go for The Beatles but I might've bought AC/DC as well. Then, if I still had some money left, I might take a look at Maiden (if it existed).

I was thinking of getting The Beatles Rock Band. Not sure why I haven't picked it up besides the fact that I need money and space for the peripherals. The AC/DC thing is only a song pack and not an individual game.

So you like The Beatles as well? Awesome!

And oh, well I'd definitely buy AC/DC along with it then if it's not too expensive.

I'd also be waiting for a Pink Floyd Guitar Hero, but I don't think that game will ever come.

I'll be surprised if they never made a Pink Floyd game.

Yeah but since they're split up they might start bitching about the rights and such. I think that might be the only thing that's stopping a Pink Floyd game, cause surely the makers of GH games must realize that loads of people like this band and they got plenty of interesting songs to play.

Don't know the song, but heh... you don't see many girls like that.

Nope but I do like the fact that my sister likes most of the music I'm into. She was the one who suggested our baby cousin to have corpse paint at his christening.

Lol!

Way different with my brother. He's more into pop music and the kind of thing you hear at dance clubs. Luckily he doesn't turn his speakers up that often.

I this drives you insane, then you must really hate Queens of the Stone Age, lol. Their songs consist mostly of only a few riffs that are constantly repeated.
I think I lost my headache - Especially the outro, which starts at around 3:39 and gets really weird (and annoying ^^) after the 6 minute mark.
Song for the dead - Again, a very weird (and annoying to some ^^) outro.
Everybody knows that you're insane - Not so annoying outro this time. XD But still, only about two riffs make for a whole song. ^^

I do not really hate them, but they got some songs I do not like much. So I just don't listen to their music generally. A friend of mine is crazy about them though.

Damn. Again, I'd file a complaint against him. An 83% fail rate is not a good test. I think you'd have a right to complain if he's gonna be like that.

Yeah, the students filed a complaint at their student representatives. Hopefully they will get somewhere with it...

I'd expect they do, but you never know...

Hmm yeah I guess it could be the stereotypes and indeed if you don't know a language that well things can always sound differently. Plus, maybe my idea of German people is mostly shapen by WW2 movies :p

But you should know that in WW2 movies there's only pidgin german, not real german. :P
As for example in Daffy - The Commando (yay for another youtube link! But This one is really funny. XD). At 1:03 the text says something like:
"Idiot !![it's spelled wrong, should be two 'm' instead of only one]
Isn't this a sauerkraut potatöe ["kartoffel" is written without an umlaut] soup not eating made veal the Apsen [? this isn't even a real word] of history."

Maybe it does sound like german to someone who never heard german before. But for me it sounds just like the random gibberish it is. XD

Lol, well I can recognize that that is gibberish. But the more serious war movies, like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers (TV series actually) do seem to have proper German in them and German people are mostly portrayed as dominant and aggressive people I believe.

I don't like it either, but that's mostly because a lot of French people I met were arrogant assholes :p

And they don't like to learn English either, so why should I learn French?

I guess french people don't like learning foreign languages because of all the "h" sounds, lol.

Yeah or they're a little buthurt that French was once the worlds #1 language, but it's now English.

Well yeah but it would be a bitch if you had to tell people to which towns you've been this holiday.

Would be interesting:
A: "So, where have you been to in your holidays?"
B (one our later): "And that was only the first town we've, been to. The second one was..."
A: "OH GOD NO!!!!!"

Exactly.

I wouldn't play games that have no interest for me, but if I get a game that I like and am good at, I'll play to destruction. Level Up was probably the last one, though I'm close with Epos now.

Heh I seldom even go for all the medals. Some of the games have some 100 point medal that requires hours of dedication and I just can not be arsed to play that long. Especially if it means you gotta do the whole game again for the fifth time, like some of them.

Ooooh, that's a bingo!

It's from Scrubs. Man, I am surprised somebody doesn't know who Dr Cox is or has never heard of him. I thought he was well known for his angry, long and hilarious speeches, even to people who are not a fan of the series. He's played by John McKinley if that helps.
