Dragonland's Holy War. This band always remind me of what Sonata Arctica would sound like if they were actually good.

Incredible Expanding Mindf*ck is both stupid and awesome.

Forgive me for asking, but are all wires connected up properly? If they are, you could try replacing the cables (unless you got new ones with your new modem) to rule out any possible wiring faults in your house.

Do you have a software firewall? (ZoneAlarm, Comodo) If so, try disabling that for a while and see if your disconnections persist. Also, do any lights go out on your modem when your Internet disconnects?

Nah I haven't. I went through a phase of 'not wanting to hear music blasted obnoxiously loud' but then I realised, some music is meant to be blasted obnoxiously loud. I can see myself in a pit for some reason. :P

I would quite like to see BTBAM and The Faceless live. Shame about In Flames being there... and they really don't fit in. I thought you didnt like concerts. If I dont get to go im going to rage so hard. If I miss that I will have missed: Meshuggah, Ensiferum, Necrophagist, The Fall of Troy (3 times), Suffocation, Buckethead, Black Houses, and probably more. I've kind of changed my mind on the whole concert thing. After watching a fair few live videos I thought it would actually be pretty great to be a part of it all. It's a money/travel issue for me when it comes to concerts - my local university never really has any bands on that I would pay to see, but the cost of travelling out of the county is way more than I can afford. Plus, I don't really like travelling long distances be it on my own or with others.

You play tf2? Haha yeah, but I haven't played in a while now though. Not since... March, I think. Haha sure. Why not.

Tyr's music makes me want to go and pillage. I feel obliged to post their version of this, being part Irish and all. ;D [yt]leVxwYdteJs[/yt] [yt]oA_bnwxP2x8[/yt]

It's just that my English accent happens to have similar inflection to an Australian one. I have no idea where I picked it up from, but yeah. I don't really have to try. ;)

I have an AMD Athlon X2 7750 and it's more than powerful enough for the games I play (Oblivion, TF2... etc). If you're going to play anything intensive, go Intel - but beware of their heatsinks if you're gonna build it yourself.

Not exactly movie/music related, but I can do a mean impression of Sniper from TF2. OTT Aussie accents are awesome!

You're welcome. They're hard to pinpoint but Heavy Rocks is indeed stoner doom. :thumbup: Check out Church of Misery too if you want something in a similar style (also Japanese!). Master of Brutality is an awesome album.

HEAVY ROCKS. I love that [cabbage] man. Be sure to check out Akuma no Uta for similar, but more psychedelic stuff if you haven't already. Tyr's Eric the Red. I'm pretty sure there are no other noteworthy bands from the Faroe Islands. You made me remember how bad [wagon] this band is, so I downloaded their albums last night. Sabaton's The Art of War album. [bleep] yes. :thumbsup: YES. I hadn't listened to any metal properly for months before last night.

This can work both ways; i.e. there are no people with stupid opinions posting and ruining the board, but there aren't any good arguments to read either. As for today, I did nothing of note except go to the gym.

Ensiferum's Iron. Have been in a metal mood for most of today (after re-reading jaerk's and Nadril's lists :P).

Yeah I'm having a hard time finding something that might interest me after watching Monster. In all honesty I don't think anything can top that one for me. Unless someone knows something in the same sort of style maybe. Well that or something like Lain. :P Also I tried getting into Tehxynolze (or however you spell it) but the first ep was confusing as [bleep] so I just sort of put it down. :? The first episode of Texhnolyze is different to all the rest, apparently. I haven't watched any more than that either. Ugh I feel obliged to watch something now. I'm way too lazy to though.

Yeah, something similar happened to me. I messed up my life hugely a couple of years ago and I'm really paying for it now. I could have overcame the problems I had, but I made the mistake of giving into them and everything went to hell shortly after. I was only 14 at the time but I was trying to plan stuff way further ahead than what I was actually capable of. I still have time to turn around, but it's going to be difficult. As I said above (pipedream aside), I would really like to get into Oxford or Warwick; but my opinion may change in the coming years. I have another year at school and I refuse to [bleep] it up this time.

I cant stand their [bleep] singer. Haha yeah, that seems to be the general consensus with people who aren't too keen on Sabaton. I like him though. MANLY. I'm listening to a compilation of Georg Friedrich Handel's music titled The Essential Handel.

Where do people keep getting this "TIF is full of metal fanatics!" from? The people into metal here (myself included) listen to a fair amount of other stuff too.

I'm listening to Dark Moor's selftitled for the first time in about a year. It's really cheesy but so [bleep]ing awesome. Rightfully deserves a place here.

Yeah a lot of CS courses will ask for A2 maths. I hate maths. Also, Bolton has a university? :P I'm shooting for RNCM. Just need to get my grade 8 trombone, really. Gonna be doing a performance degree. Secondary choice would be studying English at Oxford or Warwick. This one seems a lot more likely.

If the OP had used his opening question as the topic title then this thread would have a lot more relevance. Basically, he asked me what makes me, and I replied justly.

Sabaton's The Art of War. [bleep] YEAH I FEEL LIKE A [bleep]ING MAN

Yeah, Gorod doesn't really require a lot of concentration. They're just one of those bands where you notice more and more on subsequent listens. Asobi Seksu's Asobi Seksu. Casual sex aside, this is a great album full of crashing, beautifully noisy shoegaze moments.
