  • Crysis - Crytek's new game

    Quote from Kosmo

    Where are the games like, System Shock 2, Paradroid, Elite, Bioforge of our time?

    Looking Glass are working on Bioshock, but not much has been revealed...

    We NEED Shock3, I would jizz my pants if I got to play that

    I haven't played Far Cry before, I was put off by the plastic models and overly colourful green terrain...

  • Why does metal suck?

    You might like Josh Hommes earlier band Kyuss too, also there are tons of similar good stoner rock bands like Orange Goblin but make sure you pick up "The Big Black" since it is widely regarded as their best, then there are Fu Manchu, Nebula, Masters of Reality. Also, same kind of straight forward manly rock is Monster Magnet that rocks very very much.

    If you want more stoner rock or just some bands that can direct you to different directions and to new genres, just ask.

    I didn't know you were into Kyuss?! I know loads of people who love them and are always wanting them to reform. You like Electric Wizard and Clutch? I'm not keen on the latter but EW are fucking awesome, especially the latest album. I also like a lot of non-stoner type Doom such as Khanate and Esoteric.

    I have QOTSA's 'Songs For The Deaf' somewhere...

    But I agree that genres are one of the most stupid things human kind has come up with, especially you can see the stupidity of it in Metal, there are more genres than there are bands. But Metal is full of elitists that try to make themselfs seem superior by describing that "they don't listen to Death Metal but the ovbiously better offshoots of it called Chopchop Metal and Hikkerydoo Metal".

    That made me LOL

    There are a lot of elitists in metal, but elitism in itself isn't always a bad thing. A lot of elitists I know listen to a lot of classical music and jazz as well as metal but dismiss everything else, I don't see a problem with that, at least they're not in the mind that 'metal is the only good type of music' or whatever.

    Problem with genres is they are neccessary, to the casual listener 'Black Metal' and 'Death Metal' are considered the same, even though there is a HUGE difference between the two, most people wont care but the point is putting both genres into one is just stupid.

    Personally I think we should call everything Rock N' Roll and have done with iy

  • totally random texture thread

    Quote from generalvivi

    Corrected that for you

    no it was right . i have done many a normal map in my day. the spec map was an alpha channel for the normal map. in essence it was my first real spec map

    I thought a normal map was what was the bump of a texture and the specular was the shinyness?! Shows how much I know I guess

    Quote from TomWithTheWeather

    Hardcore 'dancing' is unbelievably homosexual...

    While a lot of Metal is unbelievably insecure and melodramatic, with only a marginal degree of badly recorded talent. I mean come on, angels fall burning from the sky?

    Its cheese factor is easily on par with LARPing.

    True but that's sometimes the attraction, you'll never understand if the spark wasn't there is what I say...

    Black Metal owns

  • Why does metal suck?

    Quote from Nz-Nexus

    I am a big fan of hip-hop community and it's complete awsome! Heavy metal just disturbs at a late night before you go and sleep hearing the music from the second room makes me cut it out and isolate me off. Heavy metal can damage your ears at high volume and it can deal later with tinitus.

    Get the fuck off of my Internet.

  • Why does metal suck?

    A load of toss is what that is, Black Metal?! Sounds more like Death-Metal to me, and rather shit at that, like they took a load of Morbid Angel riffs and just totally fucked them up.

    It's also blatently a complete piss-take btw
