Morning Discussion

Welcome to Friday, my fellow Shackers. As the work week winds down and the weekend looms, I can't help but try to make some plans, which, of course, involve video games.

Problem is, I can't figure out what to play--there's simply too much. Wipeout HD is rather pretty, but I've never actually beat Duke Nukem 3D. And LEGO Batman sports some great humor and tons of awesome Batman references, but do I really want it to end?

Toss in all of the good television shows, movies, and music that the season has delivered, and it's a recipe for disaster. With all this, just how am I supposed to relax?

    Okay, didn't get any responses on this in an earlier chatty:
    -efx- and like-minded menz! Are you going to see In Flames (and Gojira and some other band) in Stockholm next month?

        All gone! All that's left is a thank you note from the US.

        Is there a lot of local bad black/death metal over there? Like at smaller cheaper venues?

        I may be spending a month or two there sometime around December.... would be fun to see some stuff "at the source".. I just saw Opeth last week, and it got my appetite for swedish music goin' :)

          Go west, young man. (relative to Stockholm)
          You don't know how much it burns to say that :(

          Dude, we MUST hang out if you visit here! Didn't we talk about this last time we hung out?

            Yes, but it's become a lot more possible and even probable in the last 2 or 3 days. Maybe. :)

        Cool. Just wondering because it looks like I'll see them, unless I am stopped from going by the metal fan I would be going with.
