Pre or post Phil Collins Genesis? Or both?

I'm not a fan, just taking interest.

Some people's taste in music seems to change when they get older.

I still like the same music as I did when I was eight, except I don't like inspiral carpets anywhere near as much as I did then.

However my tastes did widen into different genres. I exposed myself to heavy stuff until I found artists I like, for example.

Ten years ago I wouldn't have liked "Amen", "KMFDM" or "Idiot Pilot".

I just noticed how awful the spelling is next to their check boxes. Shorcuts?

Barbarian, i didn't really know what the hell this doctor program was supossed to fix exactly! Figured it'd detected IE's mess. Yeah I use Ad-Aware myself, thanks. I got symantic anti-virus and zone alarm firewall. I just need an anti-bullshit program and I'd be safe. Ã, ;D

(If I ever type spelling mistakes and someone wants to call me a hypocrit only do so if my spelling mistakes are written somewhere important, okies!)

Wow, quite a few of you use Firefox! Yeah I think I'll be switching to firefox then!

I've thinking about switching to firefox for a while now, but when I went around a friend's house he viewed my myspace page and what is normally a black blackground on white text was now white text on a white background. (Which I've changed to prevent it for other people surfing)

But is this common on firefox? Will I find incompatibility issues with other sites?

Also, what is a "IETab extension"?

Yes... myspace seems to be a wet sponge for evil crap.

But I must persist for the sake of my music!

It's the first time I've had a pop up message that looks like a real one before!

Yeah i think I have a good anti-virus program, recognise the icon on the bottom right hand corner of the screenshot?

Helm makes me laugh. Again.

Your art style reminds me of that nine year old that drew those horses....  :-\

Suspicious indeed!

I'll always hated those text adventure games. Whenever I found one within ten minutes I'd be having fun trying to find words that makes your character kill themselves. "Use sword on me"

Or one game I recall where I told it to f*ck off, and it did.

Ah too much rap! I'm used to rap now from listening to Mr Lif and Aesop rock, and the perceptionists.

I associate that ball on a chain weapon as a gladiator weapon, so I'd have a shield in his hand.

Or how about a long sword?

Sometimes I'll be surfing the net and I get this official looking microsoft window message pop up. I suspect this is some evil spam type advert.

So, is it weirdly genuine? If not, isn't there any way of stopping it from interrupting me? I was just on a site when this came up and chucked me off the net page I was on!



So I press cancel and this window comes up:



So i close the whole thing down as I don't trust it one bit.

but you know, I really DO have some kinda trouble with my internet!

Also Shadow Of Memories, a PS2 game ported to to PC, is good. More mystery than horror, tho.
Glass Rose (PS2) (An honest to goodness point and click adventure :o)

Ah yes, I loved Shadow of memories. Restrictive game, but really got the mind befuddled.

I heard Glass Rose was rubbish? That you had to highlight the right bit of text in what people have said until they respond, and there is instant unfair deaths. That's what I heard, anyway.

Anyone played Call of cthlulu, if we're going into plain ol' horror games. I hear that's atmospheric. (And due to, I can only imagine, poor sales it's quite cheap now)

I've looked in HMV and GAME.

All I could find was The dig for £9.99.

If anyone thinks I'm paying a tenner for a ten year old game can think again!

(And I've got escape from monkey island on the PS2)

I bet you live somewhere bigger than Leicester where the shops are absolutely massive!

The horse appears to be enjoying giving birth.



Here, I have realistically made the horse look like they're in discomfort. Oh and some hair on their head.

Petra: Blue october sort of remind me of Incubus in a way. the funk. The scratches. I like the intense vocalist.

Oh this next song is utterly different. Ecletic!

Yeah is this enjoyable stuff.

Okay, i found a link with samples of the best album One Minute Silence ever did. It's way more energetic than "one lie fits all". If you don't like that then nevermind!

Nice improv Akumayo! You were really having fun with that! I liked it when you said it's a hard task for Bubba to get off his seat!

I will further comment on the entries when the competition deadline ends.

EDIT: You people have google don't you? That's how I found out who this Bobcat person was.

And since when do adventure games hate FedEx puzzles! Plot coupon X is out of reach, but as soon as you got it you know that you need to give it to person Y to solve puzzle Z. It's a great way to get some pasing in the game, and it gives people a desire to get the item, thus playing your game obsessively.

They don't bother me usually, but it's not pacing, it's padding out.

Game developer: "Oh my! Our game is rather short! I know, lets make the player have to turn back on themselves lots of times so they run through the same bit of level again and again, thus making the game -seem- longer than it is!"

If it's something like giving Otis a mint, then I don't mind.

Ah, then my apologies Mr Peepwood.

I'll play the song Helm but I've never liked doom metal before..

*Plays the song*

Oh, I was expecting something mega slow. Isn't doom normally very slow? What am I thinking of? I once heard a song by "electric Wizard" I think and it just droned on in mediocrity.

He has one of those eighties Iron Maiden kinda voices, but I'm getting used to it.

Yeah, I can't fault them, but they don't appeal to me, maybe my brother would like them.

Are they BURPING in the chorus? Oh it's a growl, my bad.

Why were you laughing at that point in the song? Was that the solo guitar? Thats the only bit I liked!

Your google skills are crap.

Unless there is more than one band that goes by that name!

I googled "forsaken metal"
