Panache

And this is why I hate talking to metal fans...

On some forums they sub genre you to death. And It pisses me off.

[quote name='Revolver'][COLOR="Olive"]Phew, at least I'm not cowarring behind a veil of self-pity, denial and urine. >_> And I figure Tool is hmmm, Alternative Rock? Alt Metal? I. Do. Not. Know. Weird, no one has ever taken the time to explain if Alternative Metal is a class in metal or not. I'd love to have tha explained for me. EDIT: For Thor's sake? Please Jake, reach higher on the pantheon. For Odin's sake sounds cooler. For Odin's Sake, good band name.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] I thought Tool was Progressive metal. Wait does that even exist? Is that just Hard Progressive rock? I dunno the whole metal sub genre thing confuses the hell out of me. You need like a ****ing doctrine in musical studies to almost understand it. Either way Tool is awesome. Metal,Country,Christian Rap or whatever they are.

[B]Crowbar-I have Failed[/B] It's pretty good. I have liked every sludge metal band I have heard so far. (Acid Bath and Crowbar). Can anyone suggest to me some good Sludge metal bands?

It's not like their the only company that makes rpgs. Even if EA does screw the company bioware haven't come out with anything I actually enjoyed in quite a while. The last game I played from them that I actually liked was Jade empire and how many years ago did that come out? Also didn't they say they wouldn't make any more kotor? If that is in fact the case then in my opinion they had no future products to look forward to.

[B]Blackest Eyes [/B]by [B]Porcupine Tree[/B]. I am not a bit progger myself but this song is absolutely amazing. Definitely the best prog song I have ever heard. They got heavy riffs in the song but the lead singer has beautiful vocals to almost balance them out. Definitely one of the better songs Ive head this year.

Wow um your going a tad overboard aren't you? Most of the games that ive bought from EA have been quality titles. So I think this is a good thing rather than a bad one. I am sure bio ware will continue making good products as always. Oh and in my opinion the sims franchise has always been crap.

[B]Soulja Boy-Just got my report card [/B] This will sum this up perfectly. OMFG LOL That is all.

[quote name='AgentMasterson']Have you seen Hellsing? It's has action,good voice work,and wicked cool characters. There is the 13 episode anime series and the current OVA series. I am sure you can find a box set of the anime series somewhere. The anime is loosely based on the original manga. Only 2 volumes of the manga were out when the anime was made. The OVAs are faithful to the original manga ( I haven't read it yet). The same voice cast are in both versions.[/QUOTE] Hellsing's pretty popular so I am assuming adv will pick it up soon. So I am in no real rush to get it. It was on ma list tho and thanks for the recommendation.

[quote name='2007DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"] WRONG! The manga is totally different from the anime. Same stories and same action, but the manga accentuates it's excessive gore and fanservice of ugly women, while the anime has none of that[/COLOR][/QUOTE] Huh ugly women fan service eh? Sounds hilarious.

Anything on MTV,VH1 and BET Jumped shark within the first few seconds. First two seconds of any theme song is as good as it gets.

[quote name='2007DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]Be glad you can't commit - Saiyuki is blegh. Stick to me recs and you'll be happy >_> Also, since you don't do subs (cuz you have something wrong with you) you shouldn't buy [B]Ichigo Mashimaro. [/B]It's not worth it to watch the dub.[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [quote name='Daron Malakian']There's nothing wrong with me! There's something wrong with you! [/quote] Saiyuki seems like Inu Yasha mixed with like...guns n stuff. So I dunno. If I check out anything it will be a volume of the manga. I ain't buying 200 or 300 dollars worth of crap that's for damn sure.

[quote name='RogueWarrior869']Gah, I hope this doesn't hurt Saiyuki. They will be missed, I'm pretty sure they do a few other anime I like. I'll have to look at list or something later.:animesigh. Have a good day or night or both or whatever.:catgirl:.[/QUOTE] The box set for reload gunlock...or whatever the hell is cancelled. I think the singles are still out though.

[quote name='Whatsupmon']first thanks second gross[/QUOTE] Only the really good pr0n is gross.

[quote name='RogueWarrior869']>_>.......

[quote name='2007DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]2, actually. And the dub is excellent, so I'll let you off the hook. But you better watch ALL of it before you say anything. ell, the 'cool kids' thing was obviously a joke, though I'm not lying since everyone EXCEPT you guys is watching it >_> not like OB is the most important place for anime kiddies, lol. Anyway, I guess I can kind of see where you're coming from since I'm still waiting for a non-shity ep 10 of [B]Hidamari Sketch[/B] which aired in the spring :animesigh The [B]CLANNAD[/B] I watched was epically beautiful, though, so I'm not sure what difference yall ar waiting for. [/COLOR][/QUOTE]I hate subs period. First I don't like reading anime. That's what manga is for. Secondly I hate the way the Japanese language sounds. Hence I don't watch subs. I might make an exception for Millennium Actress eventually.

Mohoromatic(my old avatar was a mohoromatic avatar) I already have and Ive seen Haibanei and own Lain. Anyway thanks DB. Texhnolyze is a bit expensive so I think I will try the first dvd of that and fate. Also I am buying the box set of Kamichu(it's like 80 bucks from Roberts anime corner store or was it 70?). Oh and R.O.D is EPIC. I suggest everyone pick up the boxset before the price goes up. I think I made a thread about it a year or two ago.

[COLOR="Red"][FONT="Lucida Console"]Since Geneon "died" I am trying to hurry up and pick up as many series from them as I can. I have some stuff that interests me but to be honest I don't know what to get first. So that's why I am asking you guys. What should I pick up first from Geneon? To help you guys out I generally prefer romantic comedy/drama,hardcore bloody action,and philosophical things like Kino's Journey and Haibanei Renmei. Some things I am looking at right now are. Kamichu Ergo Proxy Fate/Stay the night Strawberry Marsh mellow Are these any good/fitting to my tastes? Besides them what else do you recommend?Any help is appreciated.[/FONT][/COLOR]

I will watch Air before I even think of watching this. It's subbed right now anyway and I don't watch fansubs.Air has the first dvd out in the U.S. dubbed. If it's good I'll consider it.

I never saw Kanon or Air. Mostly because they looked like mediocre romance comedies. Several review sites have backed up this assumption. This doesn't look all that interesting either really.*passes*

Ive seen parts of a few episodes but I can't form an opinion about it yet. I am gonna pick up the dvds soon though. They will start disappearing soon.

From what I heard it is because ADV kicked em in the nuts on a merger. They were suppose to combine companies or something and ADV backed out somehow screwing Genon. That's only what I heard though it might be false. I have a hunch that ADV is going to pick up a good number or licenses Genon lost. Which would be great in my opinion since ADV usually puts it's stuff out for much cheaper. If that happens I would say this was a good thing. But if it doesn't turn out like that oh well.

[QUOTE]I might've mentioned this elsewhere on the board but, whenever there's a scene where two characters are saying goodbye and one walks away across a street. . . . I can't help but imagine that a big semi truck comes barreling down the road from the side, horn blaring, and mows down the character without even braking. It doesn't matter how sad or dramatic the scene is, that always comes to mind and I usually start cracking up.[/QUOTE] I usually laugh awkwardly during uber dramatic scenes but now I can laugh heartily with that image in my head.

[quote name='Jakehammaren']Are you forgetting that Slipknot is in fact the opposite of music?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Music is an art form consisting of sound and silence expressed through time. Elements of sound as used in music are pitch (including melody and harmony), rhythm (including tempo and meter), and sonic qualities of timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture. The creation, performance, significance and even the definition of music, varies according to culture and social context.[/QUOTE] Not according to wikipedia. Slipknot would have to make albums with no sound at all to be the opposite.

[quote name='2007DigitalBoy'][COLOR="DarkOrange"]I still can't decide which is more cliche, loving Elfen Lied like it's the greatest show ever or hating it like it's the worst tripe on earth. It was okay. No need to be extreme. Anywho, I find I have a new habit developed while watching Strawberry Panic! which is to take breaks between episodes so as not to exceed the maximum time one should go wth an erection. [/COLOR][/QUOTE]I hate it with a passion. I hated it when everyone told me it was great. There is nothing that terrible in the anime world that I have seen. I guess it's hit or terribly horribly shoot yourself in the foot miss.
