Status quo.

Well they pay more attention to us than flat-arse Saskatchewan!

No one pays attention to us out West... /sigh.

No matter what I say? The parallels are obvious, and every professional reviewer from IGN to PC Gamer cites it as much - whether the interface, the questing style, or even many of the combat functions. It's not the same game, of course not, but a more complicated version of a talent tree and some mo...

Eh, what?

Been drinking too many of your own potions or something?

It's Warcraft. It really is. Different graphics, different story, different classes, but the game thinks/acts/feels like "WoW: The Other Flavour". Doesn't mean it's bad, of course, and I think I'll enjoy it on the side since there's not a tonne to do in WoW every day, but if someone had li...

Flashbacks to the Chapelle Show...

Damn did I love that show.

((Cheers; didn't have what I presumed was the pre-requisite, "find an inquisitor" post. I shall contact an inquistor when I see one online.))

To my potential allies, greetings. I am Sentenced. To what, and by whom, perhaps I will share in time. My other names are unimportant. Know that I am driven to serve myself, as are all my kind, but that a wise man never forgets that allies are most useful when they share the same goals. I share your...

(IC) What name or title do you go by? - Sentenced. Yes, that is a title. No, my name is not... important. (IC) What is your gender and race? - Male Sindorei (IC) What is your class in life? Why did you choose to follow this class ? - A follower of the darker arts, I have always done without the res...

((Haven't touched the character in quite some time; leave this to rest for now, I'll figure out what I'm doing with the fellow... I don't want to be that guy with an alt/alts in the guild who never do anything and just inflate the roster!))

Eh, two-dimensional songs about ale and wenching (which is the only subject matter they have) don't really equate with existential topics such as faith and religion, war, or the human psyche... but yes, Eddie is certainly his own crazyness in his own right. Throwing a little of my main man 'ol Blue ...

Cheese metal! It's metal like that that just makes most people roll their eyes, I think, heh. I like the second link, though! Here's some more folky stuff from the oldest Irish folk band there is. Had a chance to hear this track many times over my trips to Ireland in some out of the way pub... no ex...

Damnit, metal from a cartoon show doesn't count! It's practically making fun of the genre! Here's a classic from Iron Maiden, performed in front of 60,000 Indians in Mumbai. You know you're big when no matter what country you go to, you sell out soccer stadiums. These guys put out more stage perform...

I met Tarja (the original and much prettier Nightwish singer) backstage at a club in Helsinki. I got a hug. It was special.

I find Nightwish a bit too soft these days, but they definitely had a great few years.
