  1. Awesome song :thumbup: Money For Nothing by Dire Straits
  2. It's still voting for someone though. We're fine with that.
  3. Nintendo, definitely.
  4. *Must...not...reach...for...wallet* GAHHHHHH. What to buy?!
  5. It's not an amazing song, but I like the intro, Daxter. Let's Dance by David Bowie
  6. In no particular order. 1. Alive 2007 by Daft Punk A fantastic live album by the awesome french duo, Daft Punk. Recorded at a Paris gig, they create a fusion of many fan favorites, remixing and fusing different rhythms that are incredibly addictive to listen to. The album starts with Robot Rock / Oh Yeah, and climaxes with the fantastic Human After All / Together / One More Time / Music Sounds Better With You. If you are a fan of electronically produced music, buy this album 2. Viva La Vida by Coldplay An awesome album with an awesome cover. I love how this album explores many different themes from revolution to death, and making for a thoroughly exhilarating aural journey through the use of unusual instruments like church organs and bongo drums. My favorite track has to be Life In Technicolor with it's use of orchestral elements . My only niggle is that they copied a riff from Joe Satriani and Creaky Boards 3. Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra One of the best and possibly the most innovative albums of the 1970's. Jeff Lynne and co create 17 amazing tracks, exploring new landscapes of music in an incredibly original way. If you are a fan of classic rock, get this album. 4. Revolver by The Beatles One of the later albums produced by the Fab Four. Released in 1966, this album broke so many boundaries. The Beatles were at their peak, and they knew it. I love the innovation on this album - reverse tape looping, indian instruments and the general creativity of The Beatles. 5. The Fountain by Clint Mansell A fantastic film soundtrack produced by the underrated Clint Mansell. The film explores the concepts of the value of life, and death, and the music follows suit, providing an incredibly emotional aural backdrop to the film. 6. The Dark Knight by Hans Zimmer & James Newton Howard Another brilliant film soundtrack. Lots of bass and distortion, making for a very exhilarating listen. Try this album with a pair of headphones. 7. Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel The last studio album by awesome folkish rock duo, Simon & Garfunkel. I love how this album uses very delicate subjects but makes for a fantastic listen with some meaningful lyrics and fantastic guitar work. 8. A Cross The Universe by Justice A live album by french electronic duo Justice. Like Daft Punk's Alive 2007, Justice mix and mash-up their most awesome songs into a fantastic medley of distorted house and electronica. 9. Origin Of Symmetry by Muse The second album by alternative trio Muse. An incredibly experimental album, Muse ventures into the unknown with rarely used instruments and different tones of voice. Distortion is also rife here, creating a very gritty but entertaining listen. 10. Pray For Villians by Devildriver The most recent release by Californian metal band Devildriver. Fantastic guitar work and an amazing energetic drummer make this a quick paced, headbang inducing album. 11. Master Of Puppets by Metallica A classic thrash album by the fathers of metal. Many great songs, my favorite being "Orion", and completely instrumental track, showcasing the skill of James Hetfield and Kirk Hammet. If you are into metal, this is a must buy album. 12. Dark Side Of the Moon by Pink Floyd One of the contenders for the best albums of the 70's. Many fans attribute the theme of the album to drugs. From listening to it frequently, I feel that it explores addiction, madness and withdrawal. Making use of many sound effects was one of the reasons the album was so famous, particularly on tracks like "Money" and "Time". 13. Live by R.E.M Obviously a live album by R.E.M. Fantastic covers of many of their greatest songs, and some awesome, less played songs. Great musicians playing an awesome gig. 14. Face Value by Phil Collins The best and most famous album of Phil Collin's discography. Innovation, and fantastic vocals. If you haven't listened to "In The Air Tonight", you haven't listened to music. 15. Let's Dance by David Bowie My favorite album of Bowie's productions. Some may argue that Heroes is better, but here Bowie sounds different, bringing out a refreshing sound. Electronic experimentation and reverb bring out the best of his fantastic vocals.
  7. Origins Of Symmetry Dark Side Of The Moon :thumbup:
  8. Xilbalba by Clint Mansell Incredibly underrated composer, fantastic and emotional film OST's.

  10. Content Aware just generally really helps. If you want to remove signs / people from a shot it's incredibly easy. It's not hugely intuitive but it's a helpful tool.
  11. Motion Graphics..... in my Gallery? BRILLIANT :D
  12. The scoreboard actually broke, which is the funny thing :P
  13. This time Zidane will headbutt the airport security people :P Isn't it just our luck that England that is going against Germany on Sunday?
  14. There are a lot of people with bad connection, constantly ruining matches. One game the host migrated, I was at a 22 killstreak, I spawned with 0 kills / 0 assists / 0 deaths. :/

    Today...

    The moral of the story: don't nugget Felix :P
  16. Stopping power does nothing to Juggernaut users, it's crazy. Especially in WAW w/ MP40 No flaming required, Sara :D It's one of those things that annoys alot of people.
  17. Watched the Nadal v Nishikori match yesterday, very entertaining :thumbup:

    Portal 2 anounced

    We'll just keep on trying 'till we run out of CAKE.
  19. This next stage should be... interesting.
  20. London seems to be where it's at, which is stupid. My school is really quite poor, yet 20 or so miles away, I used to go to one of the best state schools in the country with a huge amount of funding. How our money is shared out around the country really needs to be addressed because I feel, as will many others, that it's problem that's rife within many communities.
