I'm counting on it. :grin: Chile v Switzerland tonight. I really hope Switzerland get past the group stages. :| That was yesterday :P Looking back I feel a bit sad for North Korea, portugal could at least have kept it at 4-0 to leave the koreans just a little bit of dignity. Or they could have given them a goal or something.

Anyone take a guess at how many north korea players are going to disappear after this 7-0 loss to portugal? :P

Hmm he's less bad than most other vocalists but he still holds too many notes for too long, you really don't have to draw out every word in a sentence to sing. Plus I don't think singing should be so high in the mix, why can't the riffs or the overall sounds be the focus? But I digress. Some more bearable vocals (mostly because they fit the music pretty well): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBiK4TJAoKQ More good stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hGvCFih1SY awesome songwriting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KLBMwKKxmI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_RWBZokdpE (this part has the solo) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_82RDx0nSs pretty much perfect death metal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy1Ob9RuPFY black metal with a nice post-rock influenced side, best when you listen to the full album.

Agreed, already maxed slayer so I probably wont get many effigies but if I get any I'll just be keeping them until I have the level, the level 97 one should be the only hard one since you can just stew the other ones from level 90. Though I do think you should be able to assist someone without getting xp if you have already maxed out your assist for that day.

I could say the same thing about bands with vocalists who grunt/scream, why don't you listen to those? Easy, you don't like them (just generalizing here, no idea what you actually listen to). Even though they are pretty good bands. Singing vocalists just aren't my thing, I have primordial and don't even dislike the music but the singer totally turns me off. He is good if you like that kind of singing but if you dislike it it just ruins the music as a whole. Did listen to gamma ray and iron maiden for a while too but then moved on to in my opinion better music. Tried kamelot and couldn't delete it fast enough, despite everyone loving the vocalist I found him pretty horrible. And I honestly don't care for meaning in music, I want interesting riffs, vocalists that don't sound like they're trying too hard, and no cheesy stuff. Yes I agree. Problem with cheesy riffs is that to me it sounds good once or twice and then it turns really boring and predictable. Cheesy vocals don't even sound good the first listen :P I think I just really dislike people 'actually singing' in metal, they all sound like they're trying too hard and wail too much, really turns me off. Two examples of singing in 'metal' I don't mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn1bsz8own0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smF-zxffe4I

Ooh checked out some more Gridlink on yt and they're actually pretty good. Gotta be in the mood for it though. I personally cannot stand most metal vocalists that actually sing, wailing vocals with cheesy lyrics isn't my thing. Not to mention most power/folk/whatever riffs are pretty boring and cheesy too. They may have an amazing voice and range but I honestly don't care, still sounds annoying to me (the guy from Manilla Road is a nice example). Would much rather have a singer with a nice scream/grunt so it doesn't detract from the rest of the music and might even sound pretty cool. Favourite genres would be death/brutal death/tech death/black/post/sludge metal and combinations between those, I've kind of grown out of it now though but still like it once in a while. Gorguts/Decapitated is awesome when you're in a bad mood. Same would go for Gridlink :P

fix'd 8/10 3rd slowest skill so would be called slow xp yes. Also now watch someone rant it's not the 3rd slowest skill but the #th slowest skill instead. Pretty nice 99, I couldn't have done it. :thumbup:

What's with all the 50's the guy hits in the first vid? Is it some kind of recoil thing? Wait never mind it's a spec, morrigan javs right?

So no penalties or something, bit of a shame. I think the Netherlands are the first team qualified for the 1/8th finals now, since Denmark beat Cameroon. They really need to start playing better though.

lol max melee

Didn't see any lulz he could kill. In fact you're probably the only one who found it funny. Thanks for the recommendations, really like Daitro so far.

I got it on etceteria for the bush patch there, house in brim takes care of the tree patch there and who the [bleep] ever goes to port sarim.

I think that with that setup but fire cape instead of nomad cape I hit 619 once, think I hit a 623 or something too but not sure about that one. At 98 str too, think you could get up to 640 with maxed strength bonus and 99 str. Also hit somewhere in the 590's with zs on a steel drag :P

Heh you got the exact same goal as I had. Except I'm basically done :P Good luck :thumbup: Also Iron titan till inv is full and then yak :P

I personally kept all of my slayer drops except sol's, sold them for 10m each on average or something. Would have been 7m if I would have kept them all, I'd just sell them and keep track of what price you sell them at so you can add that to your slayer drops total.

I personally get average drop rates for everything, never really lucky never unlucky. At least with slayer, don't really monster hunt much.

So is the quality on youtube screamo vids just really bad or is it the recording itself? I quite like the screamo thats been posted so far (not neccesarily on this thread) but the quality turns me off a bit. If the sound quality is better when you download it, could someone post some good screamo bands I should give a listen? Would be awesome :grin: So far I have City of Caterpillar and Circle Takes the Square, like both of those. No idea if that's actually screamo but I'm not that good with genres.

My best probably was 52 torstols before scroll of life, with torstol 30k seeds 100k or something. I find it pretty annoying that even with over 21m xp now I still haven't got over 56/5, I'd like to get a 60+ some day.

Well thats exactly the point, do the higher bonuses from rapier make up for the loss of a crush option. I heard things about whip not being all that bad for fiends so you could try it, maul would probably still be better though.

You don't lose any time picking up charms. And even if you did the XP you gain is definitely worth the time spent. Xp gain past 99? Don't see why you would care about that unless you're maxed or something. I find the amount of 99 summoners that still pick up all charms surprisingly large, I did that for a few days after 99 but then I was like nah it's pretty useless anyway, can't be bothered to do it anymore.

Same, don't care about summoning xp anyway.

Used to be 248 max or something, now they don't count summoning anymore it's 208 or 209 (idk which one) for me. Bit of a shame really, at least the 248 posed a challenge sometimes but you can just afk the 208 with soul split on.

Hmm I would still keep using piety, soul split is so convenient it's worth a 2% xp loss or however small it is. But yeah, you seem to be doing something wrong. Crush, piety and super sets at least, and idk if you wait for the drop to appear after you kill a fiend, don't do that. Also, may I suggest getting 90 herb or something for extreme sets before you get more crims? Will help quite a lot and you'll probably eventually get it anyway.

Could also do that by just repotting earlier, berserker is not worth going on curses for.

Nice, claiming a few things to be true en then with your last point indirectly calling anyone who would disagree and post annoying. Ehm I guess that annoys me. So do/does wasps, spiders, unreasonable teachers, ignorant people, ice cream that melts too fast, adverse wind when you have to cycle to get somewhere, eating tompouches.
