  • The Last House on the Left (Remake): ****1\2 out of 5.   I've never seen the original, but putting that aside, this is a shocking and excellently made horror film. It is fairly concise, which gives it rewatchability, and it doesn't hold back in terms of violent content. The story itself is good, and it has little to no boring moments. Recommended.

  • @JuMP said: "The trouble I have with deeming something "obscure" is that it's relative to the context that you're comparing the music to. Like if I mentioned The Chariot, mewithoutyou, Living Sacrifice, Zao, Becoming the Archetype or Underoath, many people may say "yes those are obscure", but someone who's familiar with the "Christian alternative/metal whatever scene" would recognize if not, be familiar with most of those names.  So while none ...

  • Hybrid Theory is a solid album. Meteora is not very enjoyable (Breaking the Habit is the standout, along with Nobody's Listening), Minutes to Midnight is shit (Songs like No More Sorrow are listenable, but I could never get into that album).   So overall, I don't have a problem with their music really. But I rarely, if ever, listen to them anymore.

  • I've yet to meet anyone (in real life) who has heard of Windmills by the Ocean, Celeste, Jesu, or Earth. A lot of other bands I listen to I rarely find people (like Mastodon, Between the Buried and Me, Opeth) but have a few fans.

Also the band Protest the Hero, check out the song Spoils.

    At least it wasn't Dance Dance. Dead on Arrival is actually decent compared to the majority of their songs.

Finally, Brutal Legend. Which is self-explanatory, I love metal, Jack Black kicks ass, I'm all for epic adventure games and hack and slashers, did I mention I love metal?
 
Besides that, I have no other games I'm really excited for. I do want 2 other games which I believe are being released in 2010, Metro 2033 The Last Refuge (post-apocolyptic shooter\survival horror) and Final Fantasy 13 (I'm an FF fan).

Damn you to hell microsoft, build shit that doesn't break dammit.  
 
Anyways, does anyone (that lives in Europe) know the usual process of replacing your 360? Or does anyone (that lives anywhere) have any tricks etc. that provide temporary or even permanent solutions to the E73? I mean, I just need some help here is what I'm trying to say. This is just so sudden:(.

I love finding great deals on pretty much anything. My latest purchase:


Fuck yes. Only 40 bucks.
Fuck yes. Only 40 bucks.

The best part is that my expectations for these games are not being dampened, I'm having a lot of fun with these so far (more so with Bioshock, I love it, Oblivion is pretty good but it's not the type of game I usually play).

  1. Microwavable foods are the shit.
  2. If all you need to do is show up to get the job, then you know this will be a laid back job.
  3. You just need to LOOK like you are doing something.
  4. Having to put in 180 hours for this summer hire program to earn 500 bucks is not as bad as it sounds.
  5. Appreciate sleep.
  6. 3 days a week, 5 hours a day, and then you wonder how your dad works about 7 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week.
  7. Office work is mundane, incredibly easy, and takes forever.
  8. With about 30,000 papers or so sitting in boxes (probably more), you realize what happened to that tree in your backyard.
  9. Your I Pod is your best friend.
  10. You have what a few million americans want, a job of some kind.  Actually, you have what a few thousand americans want, a job of some kind that doesn't suck.




    and one more thing...

    I get a free tall bottle of iced tea to drink while I work. So it's official, my job is great:D.

    Does anyone else like the job they work at? I know I don't really have a "job" persay, this is just an apprenticeship, but I like it anyways:D.

I'm 15 years old.

I'm a dude.

And I have a soft spot for love stories.

Just watched Let the Right One In (a horror\romance centered on the subject of vampires), and I have to say, I found it to be an excellent movie. My emotions are in freaken knots when I watch a relationship unfold like the one in this movie...feel like a wuss... (lets get one thing streight though, Twilight is a movie I found to be utter shit).

This natural feeling of mine is what makes me love games like Final Fantasy X, not just for it's great gameplay really, but the story really clasps onto me.

Is anyone else on GB like this?

A fantastic follow up to a revolutionary game. (X360)
    The first thing that possibly went through the minds of gamers who were blown away by RE4 and couldn't wait for the sequel, was "how could it be better than RE4?". And while the task of following up on a masterpiece such as Resident Evil 4 is daunting in ...

A trip through the classics. (SNES)
By 1993, the Mario Franchise was flourishing from their groundbreaking and wonderously addictive gameplay and accessablity. From their recent hit Super Mario World, right back to Super Mario Bros for the NES. In a way, you could consider Super Mario All Stars as sort of a Gift Bag for those who ...
