Those old point and click FMV Rebel Assault games. I remember getting them in some Lucasarts bundle I bought once, and they're just the pinnacle of uninspired Star Wars related crap.

Yes, I believe it is. I highly recommend it. I don't really know how to summarise it, but it's a kind of futuristic version of the Salem witch hunts, but with mutants instead of witches. Incidentally, due to the numerous recommendations made in this thread I plan to buy a few Deathlands...

Maybe I just missed it, but I thought someone would have mentioned "The Chrysalids" by John Wyndham. Probably the only PA book I've ever read, apart from the first Dark Tower book.

Why?

Thud! is one of his best IMO, read it as soon as you can. Favourite books, in no particular order: Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card The Conan Chronicles by Robert E Howard Legend by David Gemmell Scar by China Mieville

Iced Earth - Died for you

It's pretty hard to stay wide-eyed and alert for 12 hours straight with a 30 minute break. The best you can do is find something to occupy your mind until you actually need to do something. We aren't joking about how fucking dull it can get. I've worked as a security guard for 2 and a half...

All bands have to change their style in some way eventually, and that can be a good thing and a bad thing. In the end it comes down to opinion. Some people don't like new Metallica because they made their music more accesible to a wider and more mainstream audience. Their sound changed, and...

Criminal Justice student and part time security guard. It's probably the best job I could ever have, since all it generally involves is either standing around thinking about nothing (daytime) or sitting down and reading (nighttime). Uni's alright as well, as soon as I get past my Criminal Law...

I don't know if I can go back to buying In Flames. I loved it, and it hurt me so bad :( And yeah, new Metallica is awful. Then again, I don't really listen to much Metallica anyway, I prefer Testament.

"Sellout" is just a term I use when a band dramatically changes the style and content of their music to gain popularity in a different group. In the case of Soilwork and In Flames, listen to their latest albums, the ones made after they gained a reasonable American audience. Thier style changed...

I just like to reserve the generally derogatory term "nu metal" for real crap, like Slipknot, Linkin Park and Korn. System of a Down is pretty bad, but at least it's members do seem to have some talent in there. I'd have to say that System of a Down is not nu metal, however it's not metal...

I think we'd probably have to properly establish what nu-metal is first. I must have heard at least 3 definitions of nu-metal from various sources, so it's kind of hard for me to establish whether System of a Down does or doesn't fit into that category.

I think the flames have done a perfect job of insulting themselves with their last two albums anyway.

In no particular order, ten of my favouritest bands evar: Megadeth Skid Row Judas Priest Iron Maiden Manowar Rage Testament Iced Earth Guns n' Roses Mors Principium Est Normally there would be Soilwork and In Flames on there, but considering their incredibly poor recent work, I've...

Even though I'm not American and I care not for your petty American politics, I got "Upbeat". The description reads like "Stupid naive young person".

I'm going to go with option 2. Option 1 seems a little bit over done, the gritty text with the gritty image to me makes it seem bland. Option 2's clear text emphasises the feel of the image more, which I reckon seems more important to the theme and styleof the music. Then again, I failed...

About the only horror movies I like are Session 9 and Seven. Can't think of many sci-fi movies either, apart from Star Wars, Starship Troopers, and Robocop. If we were talking action movies, I could probably make ten, but I don't think I watch alot of horror and sci-fi. There's a FAQ on...

My God, it's like an animated Fark political thread, but without the humourous internet cliches.

It seems I may have to purchase this F.E.A.R game you're all talking about. I played the demo, and thought it was pretty cool, but not worth buying. But since ya'll are saying that the demo is not as good as the rest of the game, I'll give it a go. I've been looking for a good old fashioned...
