  1. Boys Noize Justice Hands down.
  2. People knock the Zunes but here's my rationale for buying one: I used to have an 8gb Creative Zen Microphoto for about 3 yrs. It was time to upgrade. I wanted something with larger storage space. The Ipod Touch had been out for a while but at the time came only in 8 and 16gb models. Not much of an upgrade on space. Zune 80 gb was released in Canada in July and I thought I'd compare the Ipod classic to the Zune 80gb. They do a lot of the same thing but I like the Zune UI more than an Ipod. They both have the same functions (I don't really care about the additional radio function on the Zune). But the Zune 80gb had wireless capabilities which allowed me to send songs to friends to check out and recently allowed me to purchase music from their online store (similar to iTunes). Also the screen is bigger and the Zune came with pretty good in ear headphones. The Zune and the iPod 80gb classic both cost the same at the time. The Zune did everything the iPod classic does other and then some. I picked the Zune. The only downfall: no equalizer. Now, I don't recommend buying a larger sized Zune as they discontinued the 80gb model (which had a metal body throughout) and has been replaced by a 120gb model with a shiny plastic front and a black metal backing(which I can see being scratched and looking ugly. The 80gb had a silver backing which I have yet to scratch). Also they no longer include in ear headphones but cheap buds instead. I'd say discontinuing the 80gb model was a mistake.
  3. For me it includes: Death From Above 1979 - actually cried a little. Wolfmother - They started to piss me off. Made an amazing debut album, made me wait for 3 years then announced that the bassist/keyboardist and drummer have left the band.
  4. Agreed. Of the ones I've played, which include 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, X-2, I enjoyed 9 the best. Kuja was the best bad guy since Sephiroth.
  5. I haven't been to many concerts but I love watching Pink Floyd live. Always great. For my birthday this year I get to go see Mother Mother play locally! They're touring with Sam Robert after that show so I probably won't get to see them for a while.
  6. Hawt, you're 1 short million away from the 99. So close! Grats.
  7. I use this site mostly. Does a pretty good job of keeping track of most artists. http://www.metacritic.com/music/upcomingreleases.shtml
  8. HellBellz wins. I love The Killers. Well according to my Zune player I listen to these bands/artists a lot (in no specific order): Radiohead Kanye West Death Cab for Cutie Mother Mother Pink Floyd The Beatles The Killers Muse I Am Kloot Jack Johnson Hot Chip Coldplay & Led Zeppelin
  9. [hide=Warning]You should check out the following albums Mother Mother - Touch Up Mother Mother - O My Heart Death From Above 1979 - Your a Woman I'm a Machine Hot Chip - Made in the Dark I Am Kloot - Any album (Very Beatles-esque) The Kills - Midnight Boom Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea The Rapture - Pieces of People We Love Regina Spektor - Any album Spoon - Gimme Fiction State Radio - Year of the Crow Sun Kil Moon - Any album Thom Yorke - The Eraser TV on the Radio - Any album The Whitest Boy Alive - Dreams Wilco - Sky Blue Sky[/hide] 2. As for putting DVDs on your iPod I'm sure there are ways around it but it's not worth the hassle. I'm sure you can put illegally obtained movies on your iPod but forum rules forbid me from tell you how.
  10. The only one I can remember is that blue machine boss in Final Fantasy VIII way back when I first played it. I remember doing just fine throughout the entire game then I get to this boss and for some reason it's impossible. For those of you how don't know what I'm talking about let me refresh your memory.
  11. Mother Mother I recommend them to everyone too. They're Canadian and sound promising.
  12. I usually summarize key points or concepts. Then I make flash cards of each concept with nothing on the back. When I can explain that concept in my own words and understand it correctly only then do I know I have it.
  13. My Top 10 would be: 1. Radiohead - In Rainbows (The digital release was 2007 but the physical cd was released 2008) 2. The Killers - Day & Age 3. Mother Mother - O My Heart 4. Coldplay - Viva la Vida 5. Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid 6. Neon Neon - Stainless Style 7. Kanye West - 808 & Heartbreak 8. Hot Chip - Made in the Dark 9. Dear Science - TV on the Radio 10. Cold War Kids - Loyalty to Loyalty
  14. Honestly I've listened through it a dozen times now and it's growing on me. The lyrics are catchy. I've gone through and listened to their other 2 albums and it to me it's like if Hot Fuss and Sam's Town had a child and named it Day and Age.
  15. The entire Boys Noize album. It's perfect.
  16. My recommendation is the Zune 4gb (since it's your max). Pros: Wireless Capabilities (sync, access to music store, music/pic sharing, games) Works with XBOX360 (Can't test I don't own a 360) Better screen for video watching Durability - I've held the new iPod nanos and I feel like I have to be super gentle with it. Cons: No equalizer Wireless takes shorten battery life I think the screens are bigger than the nano's but the dpi on the nano might be better. Size - if this is an issue they are bigger than nanos.
  17. Holy crap! Amazing vocals! Also, really good recording. I'm excited to see what you guys come up with next.
  18. An online game can't have a sexual orientation. It's neither straight nor gay regardless of what people who play WOW say.
  19. Congrats, 1k f2p is a pretty big achievement. 10/10 from me.
  20. Just use common sense. There are things that almost everyone does during the day. Example: People need to get up and get their day started. They don't want to start their day by talking on the phone (at least I don't). People eat dinner, people sleep etc.
  21. I can't wait for this CD. I fell in love with The Killers in 2004 and haven't lost interest since. Flowers' voice has come such a long way. Watch them live on YouTube way back when Hot Fuss was released and then watch them now. They've come a long was a band.
  22. Is there anyway to replace those .dll files? I've been googling around but can't seem to find anything useful. Any suggestions?
  23. Currently: Assassin - Muse. It's just good.
  24. I downloaded DivX codecs and a windows vista codec pack and that seemed to work. I still have the .dll file problems. I can tell you them after a quick restart.
