Korpiklaani - Happy Little Boozer GOGO POLKA METAL

Hmm.. I'm now thinking of doing a writeup on Apocalyptica since the concept of the band is pretty original and I don't think that an enormous amount of people have heard about them, and of course, they're my current favourite band. It'll be without live albums since I don't have those and they're not really important to the history of the band.

Me. It has become... Face.fm.

Currently: 'From Out of Nowhere' Apocalyptica Inquisition Symphony (1998)

You're officially the worst troll I've ever come across. :| I think Finntroll are overrated. Their first album is quite solid and all of the songs are good. However, their later albums are flaky at best and really not as good as everyone says they are in my opinion. I guess they sort-of qualify for 'viking metal' since their lyrics are in Swedish and they have a Swedish band member.. :s I prefer Korpiklaani (folk metal) in every way possible, and my favourite 'viking metal' band has to be Amon Amarth. (which is more Gothenburg/melodeath anyway) I also think Maiden are pretty overrated; despite pioneering a genre they're very average at best. As with many classic rock/NWOBHM bands, every song sounds similar and the tedium sets in after a while. (as does a sense of déjà vu!)

Apocalyptica - Enter Sandman Metallica sound a lot better when they're covered by four classical cellists.

Tried with another media player? I'm guessing that this is iTunes specific - but try it in Windows Media Player and see if you get any playback there. Be warned that WMP only plays WMA, WMV, Microsoft-encoded AVI (no XviD, but DivX is supported via a plug-in), Generic MP4 and MP3 with no support for external filters; so try with something like an MP3 file.

Crysis will run on an Intel E8400 and very well at that. I don't believe that it uses more than two cores, so a quad core is unnecessary. Besides, the Phenom is a great processor, especially for the money. As everyone has already said, the 8400GS is good for lighter games and general usage. However, for the latest games, an ATI HD4870 is great. I've heard from friends that it outperforms the NVIDIA 280, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the comparative NVIDIA. I agree with OldJoe, dual GPU cards are a much better solution than SLI. Saves money and frees up space inside your PC.

You're on the wrong IRC server. Type: /server irc.tip.it Then if you haven't, register your nickname. Then join #runescape and #TETpub. Oh, and this possibly won't work if you use SwiftKit, at least from what I've heard anyway. Download mIRC or XChat to connect to multiple servers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I don't use toolkits nor do I play RuneScape.

What makes me laugh is people labelling Finnish bands as 'Viking metal'. There were no Vikings in Finland, not to my knowledge anyway. Finntroll - Svartberg Overrated, yes. But enjoyable.

Korpiklaani - Northern Fall I've been getting into folk metal and I have to say that combining folk music and metal can produce some pretty good results. However, some songs are really, really terrible. :P

The first track is on Dragonforce's Myspace page and it honestly hasn't changed since Valley of the Damned, almost 5 years ago now. I swear I've heard that song before somewhere.

Porcupine Tree - Jupiter Island

foobar2000 and Winamp are excellent alternatives to iTunes; although your foobar components will break every time they bring a new version out, and unless you customise the GUI it's the most boring looking music player ever.

Horrendous keyboard abuse and horrendous recording studio abuse.

Darkthrone - Triumphant Gleam Only black metal I've ever gotten into.

Favourite series would be Lord of the Rings, including The Hobbit. I'm also a sucker for anything written by Stephen King, Philip Roth or Dean Koontz.

Opeth - In Mist She Was Standing

Sonata Arctica - 8th Commandment Probably the cheesiest power metal band on Earth, but I love them. :D

Sigur Rós - Gobbledi[grime] New album is really happy and feel good.

Nightwish - Dark Chest of Wonders In a Nightwish mood today.

Nightwish - The Kinslayer Now that's over: Nightwish - Come Cover Me

My main beliefs were superstitious; nothing really big. I grew out of them as I got older.

Yeah, it is. I love how BG sound live. Sonata Arctica - Replica The SA song that everyone seems to love (along with Tallulah) but I find it a tad boring.
