Enjoy it.

David Bowie and Black Sabbath.

nice video, how did they think of THAT lol, and for pokemon games...
to be hones.... ITS ALL THE SAME!!! they just add some new pokemon, new..... menu's(?), items(sometimes),erm... always new storyline but always same goals, SAME type of storyline, SAME EVERYTHING!!
i played some pokemon games, remembers me... at a old... pokemon red(old), i was in some cave to a new... place(hint: the radio wont work there and further, nice idea... a radio...) i got stuck because i did not have a pokemon with a certain ability it seems, o well...
good luck with the pokemon games!
The same thing goes for Runescape, too. It's just clicking. But the point is, even though it's sometimes consciously acknowledged how similar and lacking in skill the games are, they're still somehow addictive and enjoyable.

I misunderstood the book part, apologees for that.
I think media or at least someone else makes you think like that. I personally have no idea how you could get ideas like that on your own. Maybe movies, or something else. You're right it's not said, but I think it must have something to do with it, even if you're not good in the head, something else must get you to do this. Even if you have ideas like this, if you have a normal life, it doesn't make you pull the trigger that easily.
Actually the Goths alot of people talk are the type of goths that like attention and are depressed or something, not the type of people interested in fairies and dragons and stuff (bad explained, but isn't that the true meaning of Goths?). As of the first option, alot of these people are depressed, so this might've been a cause of the murder (seeing no way out or something), but ofcourse it's a shot in the dark. But yes, I agree that it was a bad idea to link the murder to the fact that he was a Goth. I think we should need some more information to really further discuss this.
I'm not that good at discussing, I'll try to explain what I said, might be wrong tho. Note that some things I wrote are how I think about it, not facts.
Perhaps he saw a movie where somebody's parents were killed and then they were adopted by a rich family, but in my personal opinion, that does not hold the movie responsible; he created that influence himself, and took from it. If anyone is going to act that irrationally, then obviously they are in need of dire help.

I'll try to make my point here, you can agree or disagree, but this is just how I think about it. I might have trouble prooving my point, but I try, I'm not English.
Ofcourse the kid is a bit sick in the head, but obviously media influenced him to do such things. He probally just picks up things easy, and beleives in everything (or alot) he sees. The book obviously influenced him to do it, I don't think it would've happened if he didn't read or see or hear anything like that.
It was an exercise book. It was written by him, detailing his plans and intentions involving his new life.
It's just the fact that the media CAN influence people, and I personally think this was a part in this murder.And what makes you think the media influenced him? We have no information about anything involving the media's affect.
You can also say people kill people, not music, but music usually influences people, makes them think about things they may never have thought about. That's why I think music is a part of the media which influence and make people.All depends on the music. Most goths wouldn't take things to this extent, but some would. So would people of any stereotype, or not of any. We don't even know what his taste in music was.
-
"all goths are homicidal/suicidal maniacs". Idiots.
Oh, well I don't think that at all. Just that it has something to do with it.
ATL, I just named two bands. Look up every song by both of those bands. I know there are others, so don't say "that's just one song by one band"
You have bands like that in every genre. Look at GG Allin - he made punk and was more screwed up then 90% of all this "Satanic devil music". I'm sure it's the same in pop, hip hop, rap, indie and every other style of music under the sun
Did you ever think it's maybe the other way around? Maybe people turn to that music because they are messed up; maybe that music helps them because they feel they can relate to it and because it describes their situations. Maybe that wasn't enough for this kid and he was pushed over the edge. How do we even know he listened to the stereotypical goth music? He could've listened to Reel Big Fish and From Autumn To Ashes, or maybe he listened to N*SYNC. We can't just immediately label it like that.
-
By the way, none of you should listen to this kid. He's the kind of person that hates and ridicules others who are different than he is.
Nah just you.
But you listen to FFTL so it's okay, "Mr. SHUT THE F*CK UP I HAVE MORE GFS THAN U LOL!!!1!!11"
What does the type of music I listen to have to do with this. Are you just completely stupid or just born yesterday? And wow how clever was that gf comment, too bad I've been with the same girl for 4 years, so you don't make a lot of sense.
Thank you for prooving my point by defending yours.
Thanks Nad, Too bad "definittley is not a word. Didn't think I need to defend my point since it's pretty obvious.
What do you mean do I have proof? Of course I don't have tangible proof with me at this very moment, but look around. Loads of "Gothic/Death Metal" music is about killing people, and death. Just look up lyrics to Cannibal Corpse and Mortitan, and then argue with me.
Plus, I never said that this is the only reason. I said it most definitely has something to do with it.
That's just one song by one death metal band - who are hardly representive of the whole portion of the death/black metal scene. Goths don't necessarily listen to death or black metal; it's hardly a prequisite. More often then not, they listen to goth rock, post-punk, metal and industrial. There were no specifications about this kid's music taste. And there are way more death metal bands who don't take themselves that seriously. Just look at the Devildriver video for "Hold Back The Day".

Well, we've had all the threads of favourite/best vocalist, band, guitarist and so forth .... now it's time we get to the other side of the spectrum.
Who/what do you think are the worst solists/artists in music?
For me it'd probably be the White Stripes, Jet and Linkin Park.
-
The few Beastie Boys songs I've heard were pretty damn cool.
-
From what I remember of them; Alice In Chains rip-offs.
-
I don't know of any other than the almighty (which would have to be Johnny Cash).

I'm somewhat ashamed to say that in my endless boredom I have begun playing Pokemon again.
I used to always play it about 1/2 through, then quit and come back six months later to start again. I'm now doing that with Sapphire; I played it over a year ago and got bored because I was too weak and never got past the eight gym.
So, does anyone else share my guilty pleasure? Or do I excell your geekdom with my rekindled attachment to pokemon?

Paul Engemann - Push It To The Limit (From Scarface)
So SO cheesy.
Haha! I love that song! That's the one on the GTA3 soundtrack, right?

Death From Above 1979 - Blood On Our Hands
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss
Nine Inch Nails - Wish
Marilyn Manson - The Fight Song
Rammstein - Mein Teil
Tool - Aenima
Faith No More - Get Out
Machine Head - Imperium
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
They're all fairly heavy, and some of those are incredibly fast. Should be good for getting pumped up for a sporting event too.

Guess I'm a metalhead, but I don't listen to it as much as I used to. Only death metal band I like is Devildriver, but I'm also into industrial metal, goth metal and some electronic metal.

Unfortunately, i dont think any changes to burtorpe games room will make a difference. Nobody plays there now, so there would have to be an amazing update to draw people in :(
Not many people do play there, but new games would draw in the attention of some people. Who knows, maybe Jagex are intending to add a betting system there as a surprise? It's been suggested many times before on the official forums.
-
I tried 3 laps then left. Next week will be a addon to the Hand in the sand quest then followed by a new Behind the sense.
Nowadays I only come online to do the updates.
Not necessarily. There are two more Mondays left in January, so how do you know next week won't be the update to the Burthorpe games room?

Moral absolutism just says that there are *some* absolute morals, not every moral is absolute. Relativism denies the existence of any absolutes.
So, what do we have then? Pseudo-relatism? Pseudo-absolutism?
-
If I may ignore the potential flame war ...
I'm kind of disappointed with the practicality of this. I would think that a mid-level update would be level 40-45. I mean, think about it; these are the courses you have:
Gnome: 1-35
Barbarian: 35-52
Wilderness: 52-64 or something
Skullball: 64 or something to whenever.
There's a pretty big difference between the barbarian course and the wilderness course. Shouldn't these agility circuits be beneficial and practical? I know that I'm leaving out the Agility arena, but that's not always the most efficient of ways to train the skill - especially if you're on 56k.

GOTH, 14, IN PLOT TO KILL HIS FAMILY
A BOY of 14 murdered his younger sister and tried to beat his brother to death ashe plotted to kill his whole family so he could be adopted "by a rich couple", a court heard yesterday.
The boy, now 16, beat his 12-year-old brother on the head with an axe and shovel before torching the house where his parents and two sisters slept. He had also removed fire alarms.
Police discovered an exercise book labelled "Operation New Life" which included the lines: "Kill family, lose memory, get adopted by a rich couple."
The boy, of Brockley, South East London, denies murder, attempted murder and arson.
Discuss.
How can there be any question that this wasn't pre-meditated?
Hm, I should've worded that better. Okay, it was pre-meditated; there's no question about that. The boy should be sent somewhere for several years, possibly a life sentence; but in determining what type of a fecility he should be sent to for rehabilitation, we must look over evidence and accounts of the situation and the boy's past.
Now you're talking sense...
I agree that this kid has problems, but I'm not too sure if it's something that requires any sort of "special treatment". I'd probably agree to him going to some kind of mental hospital until he turned 18 then throw him away into a regular jail for a long time. He showed some signs of schizophrenia but nothing clear cut.
*edit*
I think this kid was just an angry little brat that wanted richer parents.
That's probably the most likely scenario. But I wouldn't think an angry brat would go to lengths such as this. Maybe there was someone else? A friend, an internet contact ... someone who would have influence over him.
Vidyagame tax, y'all
