I think it'll be the former - Grundi would admit if it was just a plot hole.

The Rumpus Room / Re: Best ROCK song ever!

I believe the greatest rock song of all time is a classic (70s) when rock was just blooming all over the world, yeah, it's LED ZEPPELIN's STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN.

Come on, this IS the greatest ever (and VH1 will agree).
Challenge me if you dare!

Okay.

Stairway To Heaven is one of THEEEEEE most overrated songs of all time.

Now I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, I even like this song a great deal, but they have had so many songs that are so much better.

People say IV is the best, I'd say II is the best, closely followed by I & Physical Graffitti.

I'd even go as far to say there are songs on IV that are better than Stairway (the first three, for example).

Stairway To Heaven has this legendary status, and I can't really see why. It's up there with Bohemian Rhapsody & Imagine.

As for my favourite song? Well, that's a little too difficult for me to say, I like different music when I'm in different moods. One day I'll be in the mood to listen to "Six Shooter" by Mondo Generator or "The Way Of The Men Of The Stuff" by The Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, the next I may prefer to listen to "Aurora" by the Foo Fighters or "Castles Made Of Sand" by Jimi Hendrix. I have a biiiiiig music collection. >_<

You speak of art, mr. helm, well elighten me, what do you understand through the word "art"?

If the term "art" could be clearly defined in a way that everyone agrees on then it is highly likely that this (and several other) discussion(s) could be easily resolved.

But if I were to quote a single definition of "art" from a dictionary I'm sure several people would dispute it in some way.

I've been sitting on the fence on this one for a couple of days but I think Helm & earlwood have got it about right. Telling people what is in your game before they play it defeats the purpose of having it in there in the first place, to a certain extent.

If people are offended by your content, then surely in a way you have suceeded in your "art"? Because if you did not wish to shock even a little by the extreme swearing & violence in your game then why did you put it in in the first place?

But if people choose to use this sort of thing in their game, I won't object. It's up to the individual in the end.

World war

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A world war is a military conflict affecting the majority of the world's major nations. World wars usually span multiple continents, and are very bloody and destructive.

The term has usually been used to apply to two conflicts of unprecedented scale and slaughter that occurred during the 20th century. They were the First World War, also known as the Great War (1914â€"1918) and the Second World War (1939â€"1945).

Some have claimed that the Cold War should be termed a "World War III" and some that the current "War on Terrorism" is "World War III" or even "World War IV". However, these characterisations have attracted little support and have not been agreed upon by the majority of historians.

I really don't. I've never played The Dig, this is based purely on the above pictures.

Next week on The MSPaint Game: The last place you would expect to find a panda.

I have, but it was a long time ago and I can't remember it well thus cannot see what you're getting at. Care to elaborate?

What about "your mother" jokes?

Your mother is so obese that she had to have her doorway widened!

Your mother is so obese that she had to have a specially crafted chair to support her ample physique!

Your mother is so unintelligent that her IQ is lower than the national average!

Your mother is so unsatisfactory in the act of sexual intercourse that whenever I partake in the aforementioned act I find myself unfulfilled!

Your mother is so aesthetically unappealing that whenever she walks into a room people will be heard to remark "My, what an aesthetically unappealing woman!"

And so on in that fashion...one of my friends (under the influence of alcohol) went on like that for several hours one night. Uberfun!

It's funny that this thread's been bumped as I just found a new band I quite like myself:

www.myspace.com/theroyalhighness

Kind of QOTSAish, if you're into that sort of thing. Four songs available there, and a few more available on their website!

Planktonman was probably the stupidest/most annoying thing these forums have ever seen, however, it's no wonder since he was your creation, Hammerite.

Gordon Freeman never speaks, it's an in-joke in the series at some points.

I work as a checkout operator in a supermarket, and had a shift last night, when the weirdest thing happened:

Two of my customers of the night had a total bill that came to...wait for it...£6.66!

But that's not the strange part...

...the strange part is that neither of them commented on it or even raised a smile!

Gah, the people in my area are boring. >_<

So obviously I went home & sacrificed double the virgins I was going to.

I don't think it's possible to solve the game without buying ANYTHING, but you can win with the $20 you start off with...

I enjoyed this game quite a bit, it stood out for me in the competition, and the multiple solutions and minigames were very clever. Good job guys!

Best Ozzy Osbourne?

Get the first four or so Black Sabbath albums. Any early Sabbath really. It all went downhill after that.

I once heard a song by "electric Wizard" I think and it just droned on in mediocrity.

Please never use "electric wizard" and "mediocrity" in the same sentence again.

Thank you.

(No, I'm kidding, you're entitled to your opinion of course :P but I like EW quite a bit!)

Whee.

Adam West starred in a pilot by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel back in 1991 that wasnt picked up... its about a TV detective who thinks he can solve real life crimes now that he's a washed up actor:
