Check out Son of Aurelius, a new tech/melodic death metal band from California. They the best new band I've heard for years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db5Irsr1VGo

Seriously? 80% say British? When I think of comedy two things come to mind, movies/tv shows and stand up. Americas stand up alone demands that this poll be less slanted. Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, George Carlin, Seinfield, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, to name a few. All the legendary stand ups...

Currently middle aged people never were "the noobs". As if video games wrre just invented 5 years ago. I'm 34 and I grew up with the NES. People in my age group aren't just now discovering games, jumping on a bandwagon or clinging to our youth. We are the reason video games are as big as they...

I didn't read all 200+ posts so I might be repeating things others have already said but here's my thoughts....... There are too many unknown factors to simply slap a number onto this situation that determiners how fucked up what this guy did. How drunk was he? Did he have a thing for her...

As far as consoles go....... I buy nearly all multiplatform games for the 360 because 98% of the time the 360 version is more technically sound. You'll see higher framerates, less jaggies, less pop-in, less screen tearing and sometimes outright better graphics on the 360 version of...

As a modern American dad I live under the thumb of the mother of my chilren, in constant fear that if I stand up for myself my children will be swept away along with half my paycheck per week, regardless of who's more fit. Dramatised, yes but this is the most sexist thing going on and not only...

Basically one of my school friends was pissed about a dodgeball game and ran up behind me and started trying to punch me in the face from my backside. On the second or third attempt I got a hold of his right arm and flipped him over my shoulder all judo (?) style. He landed his head on the...

Two things........ A. People who walk into a mostly empty resturant and sit right beside you (or waitresses that sit people in clusters for their sake). B. People who get bent out of shape about using completely proper english on the internet. Now I'm not a huge fan of run on sentences and "u...

I'd say Between the Buried and Me, Faith No More and Mr.Bungle.

Because generally teenagers are the type of people who will pile up in the booth next to you at a restaurant, giggle loudly while they prance about as if they're in some fictionalized 1950's malt shop from Disney XD, then have the nerve to look down their noses when a couple walks in with a...

There's no way Capcom will stop bringing games like Resident Evil over to the states. There's a new Resident Evil, Dead Rising, and Devil May Cry game coming from Capcom in the near future and there isn't a snowballs chance in hell they're only releasing those in Japan. Now as far as those...

I hail from a cluster of 3 small towns in Ohio of around 20,000 people a piece. We have always had a rich music scene filled with talented bands ranging from skater rock to death metal. The most recent and overall noteworthy bands to emerge from my little corner of the world are The Devil Wears...

Movies 1. Night of the Living Dead 2. Dawn of the Dead (1978) 3. JC's The Thing 4. Zombieland 5. Lord of the Rings Games 1. Ninja Gaiden Black 2. The Orange Box 3. Dead Rising 4. Left 4 Dead 5. Soul Reaver

As a big fan of horror movies I think lots of what are considered cult movies are actually good. George Romero's classic "Dead" trilogy. As mentioned already, the Evil Dead movies. Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. John Carpenter's The Thing. Redneck Zombies :)

I had a PSP and I got bored with it after a month. I just couldn't justify paying that kinda money (even old and used) for those games. A few months ago I bought an ipod touch and I love it. Nearly all of the games are $1 so I can buy a couple a week and even if the game gets old after an hour...
