Intriguing

I'll have to pick that up. Can you reccomend any artists similar to Ion Dissonance that I should look up? Despised Icon, Into the Moat, On Broken Wings, a Life Once Lost, Symphony in Peril, and they're instrumental, but you could also try Behold... the Arctopus. Sorry I can't give you any more. Last.fm might have some better suggestions though? EDIT: Another band that just came to me, Glass Casket. They're like Between the Buried and Me without the singing and jazz interludes (mostly because two of their members are in BTBAM).

Welcome. :) I would reference you to the official thread for new TIFers, but I cna't find it myself. Heh. Anyway, hope you have fun on these forums.

wooo! i love lego. around christmas time last year i went down to the supermarket looking for some lego to buy my brother (he's 21, haha). so, i searched for ages, and they only had two freaking sets! and they were all wizardy and stuff. what happened to the days of the good ol' $2 boxes with basic warriors in them? :( on another note, i have a lego shirt (not a shirt made of lego, though that would be cool, but rather a shirt with the lego logo on it). that also makes me awesome.

Alaska - Between the Buried and me I can't say too much about it, but I absolutely adore this album. Breathing is Irrelevant - Ion Dissonance Listening to this album got me into avant-garde metal. I'm not saying their other albums aren't good, but to me, they just don't match up. Versions - Poison the Well I was highly anticipating this albums release, and it not only matched, but went beyond my expectations. I've heard lots of bad reveiws of this album from Poison the Well fans, but this album just does it for me. Except for the last two or three songs maybe.. Flashlight Seasons - Gravenhurst Amazing album. Absolution - Muse To be fair, I don't think I've heard a Muse song I don't like, but this album was just great for me.

ooh, I didn't know that was coming out.. I'll probbaly be disappointed though, because I have pretty high expectations of it.

I work on average 2 - 3 times a week for my dad at a golf range/putt putt/pro shop. It pays about $8.50 an hour I think, and in the last hour a day (picking up the balls) you can earn from about $10-$13 in that hour. It's a pretty good job for a 15 year old, but I wouldn't exactly want to be doing it the rest of my life.

Ahahaha. I don't care how immature it makes me, that was funny. :lol:

Depends what instrument you're writing it for. Voice, piano, or most other classical instruments.. you'd have to get someone at school to do it I think. However, if it's for guitar, or another fretted instrument, tab is easy enough. Good luck with it anyway. :)

What a violent place to live.. But anyway, the internet already has its own language, which is a start.

kay, have fun.

Keyboards are substituting I guess. Me and one of my friends are forming a band which is going to make one song then disband. I'm on 12-key keyboard (which doubles as drums) and ukelele, she's on bass ond vocals. We're called the Stars of the Underground Nintendo Scene. If you call your band Asasantin = Dipyridamole + Aspirin, you can be our rivals. :)

Chances are your band won't make it, but don't focus on that. No matter how crappy the band is, it's always fun to be in a band. And it gives you some good experience (not RPG-type experience..) at playing music with other people.

I realise this is a bit of an old game, but I thought I should post for advice anyway. [hide=Background story]Before this year, I haven't been able to really engage in gaming. because I had such a horrible computer. Last year, about December, it died in a lightning storm, and insurance payed out, and we got a $1100 (or thereabouts) computer to replace one hardly worth $150. Still, the computer didn't have a video card good enough for any new games. Because of that, in about 2 weeks, I'm gonna be getting myself a nice video card. Once I have this card, I'm going to be buying some games (At the moment all I have is San Andreas and AOE III).[/hide] One of the games I'm planning on getting is Splinter Cell : Double Agent. Basically I want to know, is this game worth the money? I've read some things about it, and I love the idea of the game. Working for either the government or the terrorists, etc. And the graphics don't look too shoddy. However, with pretty much any customer review I've read, aside from them warning you to have a good enough video card to run it, they tell you it's packed full of bugs, or that it feels like a "rushed" game. So, I would just ask, if you own/have played this game, that you might give me your opinion as to whether or not I should get it, and reasons backing up your opinion. Also, if you don't think I should get this game, if you could recommend a similar, but better game I might get instead that would be great. Another question, which I only just thought about, is will this game run on Vista? I was browsing a game site (different to the one I usually use. I was comparing prices and stock), and by accident, actually, looked at Double Agent. This one contained a bit more detail on certain topics, including specs. And it said the game only worked with XP, which seems a bit annoying. I appreciate your posts.

i have two star wars shirts. that makes me awesome.

Go for the second option and get some magic exp. as well. :)

Glassblowing? Hides? Jewellery? You said fastest, not cheapest. Generally, I'd give you some more ideas, but come on man, it's two levels.

Perhaps they made a mistake on the music locations guide? Otherwise, weird..

Information on how to get there is here. You must have completed the quest, Fairy Tale pt. II to get there. Use the fairy rings, and set in BKQ to get there.

Well, to answer your question, seeing you mentioned Nature runes, I'm going to assume you're a member. In that case, buy a whole lot of dueling rings and do fires. Reasonably fast exp. But, I don't get what you mean by you can't afford enough pure essence for 91. Buy it in loads. Buy maybe, 2k, 5k, 10k, whatever you can afford, and think you can do. Then sell the nature runes and buy some more pure essence. Even if you're not using the abyss, it will be faster (I think), and definitely make you more money. Just make sure you don't do more than you can handle. To be honest, if I were you, I'd go for a smaller goal, like 75, first. Then gradually increase your goal. You have more chance of reaching it that way.

Baron, do you mean like this guy? touche. =D>

"Cleisiophobia =Fear of being locked in an enclosed place" Actually, that probably better describes my fear than claustrophobia. About 2 years ago at youth, we were seeing how many people we could fit into a car at the same time. They needed to get some people to go into the boot. So, me and two of my friends went in. They closed the boot and we were in there for maybe... 2 minutes? Yeah, that was scary. Since then I've been afraid of getting on the bad side of the mafia lest they put me in a boot and drive around for a few hours... then kill me, but that's not the important part. :)

i have mild phobias or spiders and confined spaces. i'm getting over the confined spaces one.. but if i even see a huntsman (harmless, but relatively large house spider), i'm like a little girl. maybe it's a bit more than mild.. :-w

i'm going to see it in a few hours with a friend and one of her friends that i don't know. i haven't seen any of the others, and i don't really want to see it, so i'm just going to be laughing at everything that happens to annoy people. man i'm a tool. :)

In Australia we have youth allowance. One of my friends in year 11 is on that, except he gives the money to his mum who uses it to pay rent.. There's also another type of youth allowance which gives you money when you're in Uni if you earned a certain amount before you went to Uni. I'm gonna be cashing in on that. :)
