VERY nice, I like it! It feels like a Tomb Raider movie clip (the games, not the awful movies). Your techniques are very similar and I could bet you were inspired by it. Also, the music is totally suitable for the atmosphere.

Keep up the good work!

I hate you Helm, I want you to go to hell and SUFFER

Bah, like I said, I don't like the lyrics of that song much. Yeah I enjoy white metal more than secular,  but I dislike cheesy and too direct lyrics, it turns me off

I'll check out Forsaken, but if the lyrics are really like that I doubt I'm going to like it much

Wow, this has become the Ask Helm thread.

I got re-addicted to The Spirit by Divinefire a couple of hours after my previous post . That song is plain awesome, it's like 10 minutes long but not in any way repetitive, with solos and 3 different vocalists. I don't know what genre I'd put it, maybe heavy power metal describes it but it has also a doom metal part.

The only problem is the cheesiness of the lyrics, but besides that it's just perfect... Providing that your ears can bare the heaviness and understand the melody. Also, another problem is that it relies too much on synths, which most metalheads (with me not included) find annoying.

Space Balls is a nice Star Wars parody that I watched, it's a bit old but quite nice.

I was never into Star Trek, but I saw the Star War movies (except Phantom Menace) and played a few Star Wars games. I was never a "fan" though, I just think it's a nice story. Being a "fan" of something very often forces you to lie to yourself and also to waste money on things that you don't actually need

Bah I'm going to England for university in like two years, right after I finish the stupid army service. I knew there are chavs around, but I had no idea they took over the world :o.

I bet the Antichrist will be a chav

Linkin Park are boring, but they used to be my first band that I actually started listening now their kind of music doesn't interest me anymore.

and Manic Matt, that indeed is not metal or good.

www.purevolume.com/saviourmachine, the song American Babylon is stuck to me. The other songs aren't that good and the older stuff was better...

I listen to metal, classical, orchestrated, (some) opera music and the likes. I don't have a favourite band, but right now I mostly listen to Veni Domine, Narnia, Saviour Machine and Theocracy.

the singer was an old lady that should sit home and stop pretending to be 20!

Amen! My mom almost worships her... It's funny, but sad.

Well, no, that's definately not the best we can get. Like I said, nobody is trying to make a good song. Everyone is trying to make a simple, catchy tune thingy along with an impressive show and/or fancy costumes, because that's what most people like and it's what has more chances of winning.

And like I said, the song during the opening ceremony was much better than any of the songs of the competition. It wasn't repetitive, it was dramatic and progressive. I didn't hear it carefully though, because I wasn't paying attention except the final 30 seconds or something. But my point is, people can write so much better music than the Eurovision songs, they're just more interested in victory than in writing a good song.

Well done Finland! Metal definitely deserved to win. I didn't watch it but I heard about it. And I heard "Greece" wants to get Lordi banned. Great stuff

But Greece actually gave the full mark to Finland

This was fun and unexpected... I dislike Eurovision, but I was interested this time only because I heard Lordi was taking part. I didn't expect them to win, but I was on their side as they were the first country to ever put a hard rock song in Eurovision. I know some people (that also dislike the contest) who voted for the first time in their life. I even thought I should vote too, until I remembered I still have some dignity left

The song was okay and kinda enjoyable, but taking the heaviness away and the harsh vocals it's not that far from an ordinary Eurovision song. Sure, it's still quite different, but it's the usual verse-chorus thing. I do hope that this will encourage the future participants to be more innovative and experiment with music instead of just using unoriginal techniques to win. Maybe in the future a true metal song will compete.

By the way, did anyone watch the opening ceremony? I thought that the song in the ceremony was much better than any of the songs I listened to in the competition. And I wonder, why didn't Greece use this song as an entry? The answer is simple, I guess, but it irritates me because Eurovision could have the power to glorify music. Instead, it's usually raping true art, with the participants trying to create a catchy winnable song instead of creating something more "intellectual".

I can so see secret messages in the picture that somehow reveal us the secret behind L Ron Hubbard.

I still don't understand it, are we supposed to redraw it completely or are we supposed to just colour it?

Mohawk, semi-bald, bald with moustache. The Mohawk one isn't a serious suggestion obviously, but semi-bald with moustache looks nice to me.

A christian is not going to believe what the book says, people who will take the book as fact without question most likely already wanted it to be fact. I can't pretend that something analogous doesn't happen to some Christians, but that's another story.

I don't think it's that big of a deal, sure it's possible that it might shake the weak faith of a couple of people, but the more the Church protests against the book, the more people are going to read it. If you want to make something a success, all you have to do is put something provocative and make sure some weirdos are going to hear about it.

I personally didn't bother reading the book, but not because I'm a Christian, I just think it's an overrated waste of time.

what lo res meant was a little st-ickey...

You mean, like a local saint?

St. Ickey it is!

Wait, what does our folk music sound like?

Videogames to Movies (or vice-versa) conversions actually have a lot of potential, but the film makers don't fully use it. They know that most fans of the videogame will watch their movie anyway.

This is even worse in movie-to-game conversions.

Edit: It's basically a spoof of the announcement from Nintendo

I didn't take my place in Christopia yet...

I am the local eccentric rich weirdo, who lives in some kind of freaky castle on the hill outside of town. During the nights, you can hear things happening in it and there is a wide variety of rumours regarding the nature of those sounds/yells/screams/whatever.

I also secretely aid the rebellion against the King.
