I recall being on holiday in Turkey maybe when it was at the cinema. Of course this resulted in rolling round markets and coming home with that and Jurassic Park on possibly the worst VHS copy known to man, a camera in the cinema job, poorly focused and blown out because sensors back then didn't do bright light in a dark room and the copy itself was likely 30 generations deep. The best part of the film was the tiny little Bob-bomb wearing Reeboks

Metal Geir Skogul posted:I really hate how "slow" the progression is going to be able to be not-turbofucked when a Lizalfos or Guardian shows up, but when I do get a new heart container or whatever it's super rewarding. Right now I'm grinding shrines because I need 13 hearts to get the Master Sword. I hate having to swap weapons and poo poo all the time but it's bearable. Master sword is cool and all but there are far better weapons. As you just play the game more better weapons will be found. Some bows will shoot multiple arrows while only using "one" arrow from your stash. I have like half a dozen savage lynel bows and they are basically all I use. Get more stamina - it lets you move a lot faster and get a lot more stuff done especially when adventuring around. Beat the divine beasts and get the heart containers that way. Focus on changing the orbs for stamina. Find ore all over the cliffs and sell the ore for rupees. Use the rupees to buy a shitton of arrows and armor. Dude I didn't get the master sword until I had found like 70 shrines or something and defeated three of the four divine beasts. Upgrade your slate asap if you haven't.

Darchangel posted:Oh, yeah, thanks for that. I'll need to add them as a seed to my "orchestral metal" Pandora station. She was a fill in for Simone Simons for a tour, but she has never recorded with Epica, that is pure Simone. Amanda seems to float around and do all kinds of different projects, but I discovered her on an album named City of Heroes which is a collaboration with Michael Kiske. quote:Yeah, I'm not interested in growling/croaking/gargling either. I can't understand any of it, and it just sounds like inarticulate grunts. This pretty much defines which groups whose music I will buy or not. Epica is right on the edge for me, but Simone is good enough that I buy their music and just skip the horrible tracks. quote:Nope. Previously posted one was good, but the screaming guy needs to shut up and let someone with talent sing. Probably why I don't have any of their music. With this genre I always try to listen to half a dozen songs and if half of them have growling they don't make the cut. Amaranthe is a perfect example of this. Absolutely phenomenal singer in Elize Ryd and even a good male lead, but they ruin it by having another guy growling in well over half of their tracks. Makes me sad because Elize Ryd is so drat good (also smoking hot). If you like solid male vocals in this style, Kamelot is great, and is actually from the US, but I think their style is a lot closer to the European rock than anything here.

Went down an 80s music wiki rabbithole last night. Ended up at Robert Palmer and checked some of the cites at the end of the article. Came across a guy that tracked down, reunited and interviewed the models from Robert Palmers addicted to love vid a few years ago. http://www.noblemania.com/2013/07/the-girl-in-video-addicted-to-love-1986.html Coincidentally, was talking to a 20-something guy a few weeks ago and he was describing some guy he that had this super slicked back hair. I asked if it was like the girls from the Palmer video... and he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about  I just assumed everyone knew about that video. Guess not

A coworker of my dad's had a bunch of their albums that he let my dad borrow when I was in highschool that we'd jam out to in my dad's truck. It was one of my first introductions to that style of music and I loved it. Coincidentally, the town I moved to in florida has a highschool where one of the band member's wives (the singer's wife iirc) taught english, so a bunch of people in the area have met him.

Yeah, it bums me out when a group is grooving right along then someone opens their mouth and ruins it. It's not always the growling stuff - sometime a singer just doesn't fit the style, or just sounds bad. Kamelot has come up for me in Pandora, and I'm happy to let them play.

If it makes you feel any better, I dropped my Galaxy S7 from about 4 feet up onto the concrete floor of my garage by getting my bag's strap hooked on my car's handbrake as I got out and it didn't break at all. Sorry about your loss, I was nearly there with you.

They impressed the hell out of me. Almost a 2 hour set straight through, never let up on the intensity. Took a ten minute beer break, then came back out for three more songs and ended on an acoustic guitar and crowd singing take on Redemption Song. I was a wreck after that show, no way not to dance.

I was introduced to Gogol Bordello when they opened for System of a Down on their reunion tour in 11 and they still stand as the best opening act I've seen. They're otherworldly. Their live act is also pretty much nothing like their recorded stuff also, I suppose a group like that would be pretty tough to capture in a studio.

Yeah. A brass band outfit called Lucky Chops opened for them, and came back out a couple times during Gogol's set, so there were like 15 people on stage. It was nus in a good way.

Drove to Toronto this afternoon and noticed that gas was cheap in the town about halfway there and made a note to myself to get gas there on my way home because I'd probably have to stop for gas as I started the trip with half a tank or roughtly 20L. Ended up leaving the city around 1am, and every loving gas station on the highway was closed, including the cheap place. Got about 50km away from home when the low gas light came on and I started freaking out because I kept passing closed station after closed station and I did not want to have to call my brother or my folks at 3am to come rescue my didn't-plan-ahead-well-enough dumb rear end. Needle bottomed out while I still had about 25km to go and by that point I was shifting into neutral while going down hills and coasting to slow down for 50km/h zones instead of braking. Made it to the city here, prayed there weren't any cops as I let the car hit 2x the speed limit going down the hill into the city so I could coast up to the top of the next hill, thank gently caress there weren't any. Got to the gas station and the car dies beside the pump one foot too far back for the hose to reach. loving thing made me push it the last loving foot.  According to very rough conservative estimate math though, I drove about 310 km with about 20L of gasoline, or averaged 6.5L/100km.

If you're driving something new enough to be (electronically) fuel injected, coasting downhill in neutral actually hurts your mileage. When you're coasting in gear, the ECU shuts off the fuel injectors until you drop below whatever RPM the car maker decided upon (usually just above idle). When you're in neutral, the ECU is keeping the injectors on to maintain idle; when you're coasting, the ECU just shuts off fuel entirely. It's a small difference overall, but if you're trying to squeeze every last drop out, keep that in mind. There's also the small risk that the engine might stall, which is always fun times when you suddenly lose power steering and power brakes. ... that seems to translate to 36 mpg though, which is pretty impressive.  Hypermiling for the win.
