Lol, fine with me. Hilversum is that way :p
Hmm if you mean the direction of aiming for mature audiences while not trying to attract the younger kids then yeah.Yeah, that's one thing, even though I never brought it up in my gaming rants.
I always thought this was an interesting video. I think the guy has a very good point.
If you mean coming up with tons of expensive, unnecessary gadgets and silly stuff then... yeah.That as well but I was referring to what I've said on my rants. :)
Didn't you also talk about that once? Something with Wii shovelware games...?
Oh so... the cover is actually being sold as a single? Jeez. Talk about laziness. I guess that's what you get with artists who are only in the business for the money.It shows how little faith you can put in The X Factor. When I think of the name The X Factor, I only want to think of the Iron Maiden album of the same name,
Lol :p
I assume that album was made long ago and wasn't a parody or critique on X Factor like programs?
And yeah I thought that was funny :p Wasn't it the ... I can't remember what the song is called but it goes like: "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!". It was also in GTA San Andreas.That's the one!
Lol yeah. But it wasn't like that single was rereleased during Christmas right? Wasn't it some kind of joke people on the internet pulled? I did put a smile on my face when I heard that song became #1.
Kids are silly. Especially British kids.Oh?
The British thing adds to the silliness kids already have.
Do you think any other country could've come up with The Beatles and Monty Python?
Wasn't that like... two months ago? =/That was still Summer.
Hmm I think I've said that at the end of June when I slacked from learning exams to go outside and enjoy the sun.
I see. I'll give it another go someday though, or otherwise I'll try to find that second Metroid game. I need to give it a second try after hearing so much good stuff about the series.Wait, the second Metroid game? That sounds like Metroid II which wasn't that good either. It was very monotonous. The franchise wasn't awesome until Super Metroid.
Oh uh... I don't know all that much about the series before Metroid Prime. I thought it was awesome ever since the first one. Anyway, in that case I'll try Super Metroid sometime.
Yeah, you'll often find a point in a videogame which is tough, but you'll always get through it eventually. Some people tend to give up quickly when they got bored of trying.And they're the gamers who aren't determined enough. However, I will cut them some slack if the game is ultra hard like Battletoads.
I heard that game was indeed very hard. With other games you can usually beat them if you just keep on trying. And I find that nowadays I have a lot less trouble beating games than back when I was 10-14. I was a much more hardcore gamer back then, but nowadays I'm rarely ever stuck or anything when I try a new game.
I wouldn't expect someone who's very much into metal to also like The Beatles since it's like the opposite within the rock genre.What's wrong with a huge metal fan trying out other music? Infact, ask the guys at the Metal Hell what genres of music besides metal they like. You'll be surprised at the answers.
Nothing wrong with it. It's just that I would never expect a metal fan to also like pop rock music, even though pop music was still very good in The Beatles era.
From the metal fans I know, the majority of them also likes general, classic and psychedelic rock which is pretty logical I guess cause the genres are basically all on the same branch. I don't know what guys in Metal Hell like, but I WOULD BE surprised if it was rap, dance or modern pop music.
But the drummer did say in 2009 that a Pink Floyd Rock Band might happen someday, because it's difficult to sell records these days and bands have to look for new ways to sell their music.Yeah, times are changing and you have to adapt to the modern age, although a band like Pink Floyd is timeless and shouldn't need to do anything these days to maintain their popularity.
Indeed. I don't think Pink Floyd really needs to adapt anymore at this point. Their music is still very popular and I'm sure they've got plenty of money for themselves. A RB Pink Floyd would be nice for the fans, but not necessary for themselves.
Lol, glad I'm not living where you live.Actually, I don't like adding fuel to the fire.
I suppose you often turn up your heavy metal as well to annoy him back right? :p
Not the best idea perhaps, but I'd hate to listen to his crappy music all the time.

I can definitely recommend it.I guess I should watch it in the original version then. Dubbing kinda kills the atmosphere, if any german guys are involved in the original plot. >_>
Well I always try to find original versions of anything, because dubbing always makes things look silly and feel like it's not the way it was intended to be. I can imagine it would seem extra silly if the German people in the movie are dubbed as well.
I can't remember much about Saving Private Ryan anymore. Last time I watched it was last year or so. But I guess you are right, people would probably find it wrong if the German soldiers were portrayed as good people or something.I watched the beginning of it some weeks ago and I remembered a song (it's in german, so no point in linking to it, I guess) where the singer says something like: "I'm happy because I could live my live without being a soldier and to celebrate this I'm watching the beginning of Saving Privat Ryan."
Heh, the beginning is the very violent scene where the Americans are being slaughtered by German machine guns on the beach right? I'd be glad I never had to go through that as well :p
It would be interesting for a movie though, to look through the perspective of a German soldier for once and see that they are not much different from the American soldiers when it comes down to it. I don't know if that's ever been done before.There is Die Brücke, I think that comes pretty close. It shows that the german soldiers aren't any different than all the other guys.
Interesting plot. I like how it's a real story that was considered so unimportant that it was never in any war records, while actually many people died in vain there because of a silly mistake.
Lol!Of course he is a mean bastard, but he is a polite mean bastard. :P
Come on, you can smell from a mile away that Hans Landa is a mean bastard underneath that charm. Probably the worst one of them all.
Also I'm just referring to the way he speaks (should've made that clear before). There's nothing agressive about the way he talks. The true meaning of his words, well they are a whole different story, but the just from way he speaks you can not say he's agressive.
That is true, but not many German people are that charming and good with having conversations with people.
