Manowar aren't LUL regulars. Also, I have nothing against man-love between the band members. I just think they shouldn't dress in fur thongs. :P

You keep bashing them for being homosexual, though.

Maybe so but I thought for you Bloodbath would be obvious. Well, maybe it's just me who's thinking that.

I just think that Bloodbath are underrated. Can't say the same for Bathory.

Yeah, Bathory was the first black metal band as well as leading the way to many bands using the viking metal term.

Probably that as well but you'd think they'd keep the album in print and in good accessibility. Isn't Metal on Metal one of their more popular albums?

Yes, it is. But you have to keep in mind that they had no record company (or only smaller ones). So it's hard to keep an album in print if you don't have a major label covering the costs.

But with the film, you'd think they'd get a major label covering them now.

We're not Anonymous. If they have a problem with YouTube, they can take care of them.

I look forward to hearing the conclusion.

Gotta try and remember it though.

Hmm, what would be a good threat for you forgetting to mention Manowar?

I just wish I lived by a train station and only need very little walking to get to work from my destination. No buses, no own car required.

Well that'd be convenient, but the problem with trains is that they usually go to some central point and you often still need to take the bus to get to a specific place.

Not in central Liverpool. I could get off one station and only have to walk five minutes to my destination if I'm working at a convenient place.

Yeah, it should have happened but that was years ago so it's not worth contacting the authorities at this point.

Not anymore. I doubt the police will find anything on his computer anyway.

I think the staff would hold records for such things but still, it happened long ago and you hardly see the SS these days.

Anyone from Labour who's reasonable is good enough or me. Gordon Brown had his ups and downs but I do feel sorry for the guy for being thrown in the deep end with the economic issues. I bet Tony Blair knew we were heading to a recession and left it to Gordon Brown.

Technically Brown should have known more about it, what with being chancellor for 10 years before the shit hit the fan...

Maybe so but when it came to him having to run the country, it might have been overwhelming. Although, the resignation of Tony Blair didn't all happen at once. Meh, I'm sure Brown would have managed it well by now or rather better than what Clegg and Cameron are doing right now.

Enjoy your spot! I was there briefly and it was great while it lasted. Now, I can only rely on EXP, posts and medals (for hexalist only) to climb my way up. However, I make around 10 posts a day so it's not that bad.

Most German beer has around 4,9%. Some are a bit stronger (5,2%) and there's a beer called "Rotlicht" (Redlight) which has 6,0%.

Wait, no bock beers? I thought that'd be popular in Germany during the Oktoberfesten. 4.9% is also a bit on the light side for regular beers compared to the ones available in Holland.

I'm sure there are some bock beers in Germany (and of course Altbier), but I don't drink them. Mostly I drink Pils (or Pilsner).

I kind of figured that out by seeing Manowar almost naked. Except for their fur underwear.

Now that gives me an idea for a sitcom...

That's pretty neat. When I lived with my parents I always had to take the subway for 10 minutes and then the bus for another 25 minutes after I got off the train (or wanted to get on the train). Now it's only 15 minutes with the tram to get to my place from the central station.

Well you're supposed to drink it in the autumn, but while I know a lot of beer drinkers, I think none of them likes bock beers all that much. I think they also prefer pils or white beer in the summer (from the tap). While I really don't like beer all that much, I have to hand it to them that white beer is pretty good stuff on a warm summer day.

It's one of those state's rights issues. There are certain things the Federal Government can regulate and certain things the States can regulate. And no it's not too hard to just go across the border and pick up a bunch of beers, though there are some stores that won't sell to out of state people for some odd reason.

Yeah, we'd have spent our way out of recession, keeping people in work, so that they can pay taxes and reduce the deficit. Sure, the way that the Tories have employed works, but it keeps the poor poor and the rich don't give a fuck, because they live off the interest.

But new fans who saw the film will want to pick up all their albums so surely they most reprint them. Otherwise, people will only take the piracy route.

I have a question. I know that this is the topic for stat-whoring your stats and having them recognized and put into a list for a page or two, I get that. But, why is it that, when I'm reading, I'm reading about things that seem to be completely off-topic. Take this page that I skimmed through, for example. I saw something about federal and state governments. That dosen't seem right. So, why is it allowed that this topic be a place for random, if not semi-intelliectual, conversations?

Yeah states like California are pretty loose with their drug laws especially pot while more conservative states tend to be pretty strict. The opposite is true with gun laws between Cali and conservative states.

I find just driving a bit further into Texas to those store will often remedy that problem. I think they just have an issue with younger kids trying to by alcohol.

I never looked up their degree course since they were well out of my budget but I'm sure if not at MIT, but other regional and public universities nearby offer some courses that she'd might be interested in.

Of course it is. That's why I say it's one the same level of badness as Valentine's Day.

I already stated on the news post that there's too much filler in it.

Oh well, what can you expect? He's an actor, not a musician.

At least it transfers better than wrestlers going to movies.

And they didn't get round to finishing off their latest season.

They didn't, did they? I can't remember the last time there was a Star Day.

Heh, funny you mention Star Day. I believe it's in a few days time. Let's see who even bothers to make a flash for that day.

Portal 2. I'm on chapter 8 and everything about it has been great, even if the game will end up being quite short.

Excellent work Coop! I'm sure you can reach 100k by the end of the year.

Nip and tuck for that - an average of 43 points per day is required. With Clock Day in there as well, I might get it by Xmas :P

Yeah, we'd have spent our way out of recession, keeping people in work, so that they can pay taxes and reduce the deficit. Sure, the way that the Tories have employed works, but it keeps the poor poor and the rich don't give a fuck, because they live off the interest.

And that's the tories in the nutshell. I hate this country.

Try not to let it get to you. That's how I've lived for the past 10+ years.

In 162 games, scrappy comes into it. We played finesse in 2009, going 19 games straight without an error.

I was kind of referring to their play in general, you know small ball, bunting, etc.

Well, we would have planned for that, if Gardner wasn't playing a little off at the moment.

Hopefully it will be their [Nuggets] year :P

We'll see but it looks like most of the experts are already writing them off. Durantula is going to strike again.

Only discussion of Manowar is allowed in this thread.

I disagree on the grounds that Manowar is not that great.

But really, you can discuss anything you please here, just as so long as it isn't blatant spam and remember that we tend to only post once a day.

I guess that's fair, so thanks. I needed clarification on that.

I think I can see another corpse of a long dead B/Per just over the next ridge. I'll move to investigate, but the air is getting thin here and I'm not sure how long it's going to take.

Take a Viagra, I hear its good for helping deal with altitude sickness.

I'm sure there are some bock beers in Germany (and of course Altbier), but I don't drink them. Mostly I drink Pils (or Pilsner).

Well you're supposed to drink it in the autumn, but while I know a lot of beer drinkers, I think none of them likes bock beers all that much. I think they also prefer pils or white beer in the summer (from the tap). While I really don't like beer all that much, I have to hand it to them that white beer is pretty good stuff on a warm summer day.

I never heard of beer that is supposed for certain seasons, lol. I drink pils be it spring, summer, autumn or winter. >_>

Also, even 6% would be really mild if you compare it to stuff you can get in Poland. ^^

Why am I not surprised?

I don't know. But I am not surprised you don't find any labels saying "brewed in adherence to the Reinheitsgebot" on beer that has 20% or more... ^^

Do you own a PS3? If so, we could play against each other via PSN (if it is possible to invite someone, never played online before).

No, I'm still on a dodgy PS2, because a 14" screen would never do it justice.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. Right now my PS3 is hooked to an old Commodore Screen, which just looks awful. I can't even read the text on the screen sometimes. o_O

Yeah, the screen at Bex' was like that - huge, but not capable of decent quality, so we just had to put up with it, despite how bad it made Fallout New Vegas

Yes, that what it was like on the old TV. It is quite large, but it's no HDTV. So the quality suffers a lot.

There isn't any reason to celebrate 4/20 if you are from germany/austria anyway. It's Adolf Hitler's Birthday. >_>

I'd move over there but it wouldn't shut up all the potheads about 420. :P

The bad thing is that potheads don't shut up no matter what date it is.

That's it, you're banned!!!!

I smell abuse of mod powers here!
Oh wait, I can still post, it was just an empty threat. Phew.

Try again.

Your mod tools seem to be broken.

You keep bashing them for being homosexual, though.

I keep bashing them for being gay

Same thing!

Nope. Look at the pic you posted. They look awfully gay, no matter what. Try to find a picture where they don't look gay, it's just not possible.
Also, my uncle is a homosexual. But neither he nor his boyfriend look only HALF as gay as manowar. :P

Yeah, Bathory was the first black metal band as well as leading the way to many bands using the viking metal term.

Exactly. Bloodbath seems to be very unknown even though they are a supergroup.

How does the music compare with Opeth?

Well, no clean vocals for Bloodbath. And of course the songs aren't so complex.

But with the film, you'd think they'd get a major label covering them now.

I don't know where they are signed now. But I think they want to focus on producing new albums instead of re-releasing the old ones.

But new fans who saw the film will want to pick up all their albums so surely they most reprint them. Otherwise, people will only take the piracy route.

Whatever it may be. It sucks that Metal on Metal is so expensive. :(

When are medal points congratulated now? Every 5,000?

Level 27 had been my favourite level icon on Newgrounds since before I can remember. Well, I got it.

I'm on level 16 now
