Weekend Discussion

by Chris Faylor, Mar 14, 2009 8:55am PDT

Nice to see that we got some actual BioShock 2 details yesterday, especially after the early morning fake-out. Though I will admit, I'm a bit bummed that the rhinoceros and giant squid bosses turned out to be bunk. Those sounded off-the-wall awesome.

As Indiana is still pulling the old "it looks sunny and nice outside but it's really just a few degrees above freezing" trick, I think I'll end up spending most of the weekend inside. Let's see how many episodes of The Wire I can burn through, but don't worry. I'll take breaks to play Resident Evil 5, 50 Cent, and Peggle. Maybe I'll even read a book!

metal listeners

what's your album of the year so far? absu - absu is the clear leader at this stage, i think. i know blut aus nord is probably preferred by a ton of people but i'm not a big fan of it.

    Here's some from all kinds of subgenres that you might like: Starbreaker, Nightwish, Firewind, Within Temptation, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, Kamelot, Dream Theater, Nightrage, Blind Stare, Warmen, Time Requiem, Annihilator, Axel Rudi Pell, Celldweller, Astral Doors, Dew-Scented, Rush, Cipher System, Edguy, Disarmonia Mundi, God Forbid, Entwine, Green Carnation, Impellitteri, Lost Horizon, Majestic, Narnia, Nightingale, Rage, Skillet, Sonata Arctica, Symphony X, The Haunted, Vanden Plas, At Vance, Armored Saint, Megadeth
    
    I can provide specific subgenres, album recommendations, etc. on request; based on your two albums I assume you like melody in your metal and are open to a wide range from power to death metal so I selected based on that.
