Yes, it's fucking awesome. I heartily encourage everybody to try this out, no matter what your preconceptions are.

The silence after the casualty line was a classic.

My 6600gt is good, and can handle most things. However, the limitation of 128mb memory is a real pain at times and often prevents me from smoothly running textures on high. If that concerns you, which it should when spending this much, you will want a 256mb card.

This thread is sexually confused.

Everyone has a spare Gmail invite! You need to supply an existing email, though.

Er, if it's a Windows dialogue type window which says messager in the titlebar, you need to go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Messenger > Right click > Properties > Disable. It's a command prompt based messaging things that's designed for local networks, for also works over the internet for insecure machines.

People who write forum posts with grammar formed in such a way that it results in the post being difficult or impossible to read need shooting.

People who pedantically correct or point out the flaws in others' grammar when the writings are still legible need strapping onto the back of a truck, reversing into an extremely thick oak tree twelve times, and then shot.

Harry Gregson Williams, I assume you mean.

He's very good, just getting into his stride though imo. I predict very good things coming from him in the future.

Definitely listen to the first, and if you can find the last two..

PS: Do you have the "The Interpreter" or "The Peacemaker" soundtracks?

Yeah, it's a good mix. I trust you've heard the Unbreakable soundtrack, incidentally? That's some very good James Newton Howard music along similar lines to Batman Begins. Just not as epic.

The difference being that Batman Begins' soundtrack is actually pleasant to listen to.

Imo.

Yeah, I figured that you'd be the one to say something like that. :roll:

Aye, indeed. They're hard to pick out on the first listen since it's all so deep, rich in strings, and generally slow paced -- after that though, the beauty of the soundtrack really comes out. It shot from being a "eh.." soundtrack to a ":D" soundtrack, after my first listen.

It's definitely not got the fast, striking melodies you hear in various Zimmer soundtracks, but they're there. My favourite track is definitely 06 - Tadarida, incidentally.

Choco Factory is a great soundtrack, yeah. I got it last week and have listened to it a whole bunch of times thus far.

I have so many awesome soundtrack that it's impossible to pick just one (or even a few), though. I mean, sometimes you want some of the epic Gladiator music, while sometimes the deep, interweaving strings of K19 - The Widowmaker are what's required. Then of course there's the times when the Nightmare Before Christmas needs rolling out.

If we're talking recently though, I'd say the Batman Begins soundtrack is some really hot stuff. It's very subtle and ambient, and on the first listen it seems a bit lacking, but it's a really awesome piece of work if you listen properly and take it all in. Also, the Mr & Mrs Smith soundtrack is surprisingly listenable!

And yeah, the WotW soundtrack is a bit poo. I've never really been a huge fan of John Williams though. I'm more into Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman and John Powell. ))

And thanks to those who have seemingly been anonymously reading here and posting my site around on other forums, keep up the good work.

Aye, saw this last week.

It's one of the most disturbing things ever until the music -- especially when you're watching it at 5am. It gets a bit more amusing once he's doing all the crazy "dance" movements though.

No.. a face's shape is defined by muscle, fat and skin tissue just as much as it is by the skull. That'd be a totally unnecessary extra step.

Is that thing ever going to actually become purchasable, or is it just some kind of art project which somebody did? The page isn't really very clear either way, and we all know that art students love to do this type of thing!

I'd kill for one. Seriously.

It's not too bad, Lee3dee; you just have to become really good at moderating your fire and crouching/proning in pretty much every encounter. Eventually it'll just become second nature.

Some weapons are ridiculously inaccurate though, most namely the support weapon. For the best precision, you'll want to use either the sniper rifle (duh), or the special forces weapon. The latter of which has an awesome upgrade; specifically, far better accuracy.
