[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hello everyone,

Just seen this trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNGGMexuIdg&feature=player_embedded).

Cannot tell you how psyched I am for this game! It's going to be amazing.

Your opinions?

[Psychosplodge]

Still not played the first two, though I think I own/have access to them...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

If not, do. Do not be a baby like certain people that I know.

[Psychosplodge]

well they're console versions though...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

So?

[Psychosplodge]

well there are more appropriate devices better optimised for FPS games...

[Kyban]

I didn't play the first two either. I did see the first one being played and it looked decent but I'm just not interested in them. What makes them good games/what do you like about them?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I just like the gritty tension, the aesthetics, the characters, the story... So pretty much everything.
It's a really cool game.

[SotonShades]

Man or mouse?

Can I be a Ferret?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Depends, do you kill Necromorphs with no fear?

[SotonShades]

Can't say I've ever tried, but I did once win a fight with a Gazebo.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

SOD OFF! No one can defeat a Gazebo!

[SotonShades]

It tried to escape our garden. We had to fight it for about half an hour, me and dad. Both of us sustained minor bruising. My dad even got a couple of cuts, one of which is still a visible scar. We won though. All that was left of that six sided metal monstrosity was scrap metal triangular columns, some bent steel box section and a torn and flapping canopy. Not quite sure what happenned to the lights and electric cabling. We kept the net curtains as a trophy!

I had a Gazebo once, the wind defeated it...

[Wolfshade]

Man or Mouse, let me see:

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

That doesn't answer any question ever.

[eldargal]

I'm not a man or a mouse.

[DrLove42]

On the subject of dead space...no I don't like horror games.

I've played a little of dead space 2. I walked down a corridor, something jumped on me and despite me doing the QTE to escape, it killed me.

My only DS experience was not a good one

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I'm not a man or a mouse

Are you going to play Dead Space?

[Psychosplodge]

QTE? I'm out, hate games with those.

[eldargal]

Probably not.

Are you going to play Dead Space?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Get in the mouse pile then. :p

I tell you what, knowing no fear is handy. :D

[eldargal]

I actuall get bored with horror games in general and wander off. Especially when it just seemed to be Space Zombies. So boring. Want something Lovecraftian.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Play Call of Cthulhu, that's retro, and a bit weird.

I'll put you in the "not sure if" pile. :D

[Wolfshade]

That doesn't answer any question ever.

I was suggesting I was a moose...sigh.

[eldargal]

I feed mice to my frog sometimes.

African Bullfrogs: Natures Alpha Male.

[Wolfshade]

That is upsetting. I think we should kill the bull frog. (I am sure some Oz people would agree with me)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I wouldn't say that in front of EG.

[eldargal]

Noo, its toads that cause trouble in Australia and toads are horrid. Frogs are great and African Bullfrogs are the greatest of all frogkind.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I like frogs...

And trains...

Also, thread derailed.

[eldargal]

Seriously, read this and watch video (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1325902/The-moment-real-life-danger-mouse-croaked-Giant-frog-eats-tiny-rodent-alive.html), it may be the Daily Mail but it's a decent article on the amhibian aristocracy.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Will do, when I get out of work.

[Psychosplodge]

Play Call of Cthulhu, that's retro, and a bit weird.

Play Cthulu saves the world.

Cool waterproof sleeping bag that mouse has there...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Cool waterproof sleeping bag that mouse has there...

Yeah, he must get all the chicks at festivals. :D

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah, he must get all the chicks at festivals. :D
Probably fit one in there with him

[eldargal]

http://www.theyachtlondon.com/img/winston_churchill.jpg
Anyone else see the resemblence?

My african bull frog is fantastic. If I throw him at someones face he knows he is to try and bite their nose off, bless him.

May I present the African bull frog trygon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtxMOwUlbAA).

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

You've had too much to drink haven't you? :p

[eldargal]

No. I'm very mildly inebriated and suffering from sleep thingamie lack of.

Also, oh my god:
http://www.squishable.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/bullfrog.jpg

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

That is quite cute. :p

[Up The Walls!]

Not sure if adorable or terrifying.

[Psychosplodge]

Quick kill it with fire before it eats your souls!!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Where's the ginger?

[Psychosplodge]

Where's the ginger?
I told you, he was stood in front of me looking like a dwarf covered in 40k tattoos, what do you mean you took your eyes off him? Have you any idea what you've done? You've doomed us all...

[eldargal]

Bull Frog Cthulhu will eat your brain.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Oh, uh.... Balls.


EG- Is that your frog?

[eldargal]

No, mine is much more handsome. He tried to eat an American woman once.

[Wolfshade]

My african bull frog is fantastic. If I throw him at someones face he knows he is to try and bite their nose off, bless him.

You know that Bullfrogs aren't Attack Squigs right?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

There you go EG, I changed the thread title. :p

Also, pics or didn't happen. :D

[eldargal]

Try telling them that.

You know that Bullfrogs aren't Attack Squigs right?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Does that make you an Orc/k?

[Wolfshade]

Possibly a runtherd.

I once had a frog in my bedroom, spent half an hour trying to catch the blighter and put it outside.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

My house in Tilstock used to get frogs all the time.

[eldargal]

Nope, eldar frog keeper.

[Wolfshade]

Thi was brought to me by one of my hounds, she was so proud of herself for capturing it

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Nope, eldar frog keeper.

Path of the Amphibian?

[eldargal]

Path of the Frog Cuddler.

[Wolfshade]

Doesn't the heat from your hands make them uncomfortable?

[eldargal]

Nope, he seems to like it.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Awwwwwwh. I'm having a cute overload.

[Wolfshade]

I see, I imagine having them is toadaly awesome

[Psychosplodge]

I prefer snakes/lizards/rodents lol
Not quite sure why but amphibians don't appeal to me as pets, and apparently frogs are hard to keep so if you've had him more than a year you're doing it right...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I see, I imagine having them is toadaly awesome

Get out.

[Wolfshade]

I have hounds, they are great fun

[DrLove42]

Like the new Name....

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Like the new Name....

It made sense.

[eldargal]

African bull forgs are very hardy and have a long lifespan, and I theorise mine may be domesticated as he seems abnormally intelligent and he doesn't hibernate anymore.

[Psychosplodge]

Oh I know someone that's got two, but everyone else he knows that has tried to keep them has failed.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I like Newts too, and Axolotls.

[Wolfshade]

Have you considered breeding them?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

A Newt and an Axolotl? Funnily enough... No...

[Wolfshade]

No eg's frog.
And breed a race of hyper inteligent frogs

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

You'd need a female frog that was also super intelligent... Then suddenly, SKYNET. :D

[Wolfshade]

You'd need a female frog that was also super intelligent... Then suddenly, SKYNET. :D

-Or-
They take over the galaxy ala Captain Bucky O Hare

[Psychosplodge]

-Or-
They take over the galaxy ala Captain Bucky O Hare
Indeed, but no need to fear, cause Bucky O'Hare will save the aniverse...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I, uh, what?

[Psychosplodge]

Don't worry we're showing our age

[Wolfshade]

It was awesome

[eldargal]

I'm trying to breed them, its slow. Garfunkel was the only one to survive from his fathers brood who then et the mother. I'm trying to breed from Garfunkel but he's only managed to knock up one female (I do look for smart girls) and prduce a few baby frogs which seem to reasonably intelligent. The race of super frogs to take over the world is a little while off though.

[Psychosplodge]

It was awesome
It was, can't remember how it ended though...

Hah! Cool story! :D

[Wolfshade]

Like cities of gold and every other cartoon they didn't end, just became decomissioned

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence.
There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.

[Psychosplodge]

Like cities of gold and every other cartoon they didn't end, just became decomissioned
I just went looking, can't believe there was only one series...

[DrLove42]

Avenged Sevenfold?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Yep. THE BEAST AND THE HARLOT!
Wooooooooooooooah! :D

[Psychosplodge]

prefer nightmare, unholy confessions and little piece of heaven...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I like Critical Acclaim, Nightmare, Little Piece of Heaven, and Fiction.

I also love their duo with Good Charlotte: The River.

[Psychosplodge]

I can't even think how critical acclaim and fiction go..

To the previous list add afterlife, welcome to the family, that other one I've got in the car that's title escapes me right now...

You seen them live?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I like Afterlife.

Yeah I've seen them 3 times. :D

Critical Acclaim "Shhh, quiet you might piss somebody off. Like me m*therf*cker you've been at it for too long..."
Fiction "Now I think I understand, how this world can over come a man"

I also like Seize the Day, it reminds me of a friend who committed suicide, who's last words to me were about living each day as your last.

[Psychosplodge]

same, twice at download, once with Stonesour in Birmingham...

still not twigging, I'll have boot the pc up at home and have a listen (yes I own the cd's but i'd have to play through he pc anyway.)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

"Not that I could, or that I would, let it burn under my skin, let it BURN!!!"

I love Fiction, such a good combination of instruments.

I may have been at those... I saw them in 06 for certain...
They're rumoured for 2013 line up.

[Psychosplodge]

Yeah, the 06 was good, especially when M.Shadows stood in for Jonathan Davis.

Think we've knocked DL on the head, considering doing a european festival next year...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I've spent so much money on gigs and concerts... :p

I was also there when Muse opened the then-new Wembley Stadium. (that was 06 too!) That was the best thing that I have EVER seen.

[Psychosplodge]

Never seen Alice Cooper, Rammstein, Iron Maiden, Metallica, or Slipknot?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

We're not doing this again.

I have seen Rammstein, Metallica, and Slipknot. However, Muse are my favourite band, like it or lump it.

[Psychosplodge]

Lmao, even live? My live preferences don't match up with my driving choices...

[Kyban]

Aaand now this a music thread instead of a frog thread instead of a dead space thread! :D

[Psychosplodge]

Aaand now this a music thread instead of a frog thread instead of a dead space thread! :D

Shhh you'll startle him

Anyway could feel this heat all the way at the back...
2382

[Wolfshade]

My favourite is teh frog song...

[Psychosplodge]

It aint easy being green?

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Lmao, even live? My live preferences don't match up with my driving choices...

They're better live.

[DrLove42]

Looks warm

I ahve to agree Muse are a fantastic band to see live. They just have a stage prescence which is hard to top.

However my favourite gig I ever went to was Rise Against in a small venue in Portsmouth a few years back. Such a great gig

[Wolfshade]

Meh, the best live gig ever was avril lavigne. endl;

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Rise Against are frigging awesome live! :D

[Wolfshade]

Rise Against are frigging awesome live! :D

Rise or Rage?

[Psychosplodge]

Looks warm

I ahve to agree Muse are a fantastic band to see live. They just have a stage prescence which is hard to top.

I don't think I've seen anyone top Corey Taylor for stage presence, even if there's bands that put on a better live show than stonesour/slipknot, as an individual he owns a crowd.


However my favourite gig I ever went to was Rise Against in a small venue in Portsmouth a few years back. Such a great gig

Seen both Cradle of filth and Dimu Borgir in tiny venues and it's amazing seeing big acts so close.




Meh, the best live gig ever was avril lavigne. endl;

First concert I ever went to lol...

[Wolfshade]

My first was the Dum Dums :eek:

I regularly see the Wildhearts as they are awesome

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Rise or Rage?

Rise Against.

You mean Rage Against the Machine. Who I have also seen.

[Psychosplodge]

My first was the Dum Dums :eek:

I regularly see the Wildhearts as they are awesome

Not heard of the dum dums

Seen wildhearts once, and the lead singer is hilarious.


Rise Against.

You mean Rage Against the Machine. Who I have also seen.

I found Rage against the machine irritating, he was too busy spouting his politics when he shoulda been singing like people had paid to see.

[Wolfshade]

The bizarre thing is that I have seen them play Wolverhampton (many times) and they are brilliant, it is similar crowd with huge energy and lots of crowd interaction, saw them a week earlier in Sheffield at the leadmill and they were good, I mean they sounded brilliant, but the energy wasn't there or at least the atmosphere wasn't

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Can't say that I was impressed. Out of the two "Against"s Rise are much better than Rage.
Tim McIlrath is one helluva guy.

[Psychosplodge]

The wildhearts? I think the leadmill is the wrong venue for them really probably have got a better reaction at corp? I saw them at download in 08 on the second stage when they cut the set early cause the front man was getting the crowd too excited lol

[DrLove42]

My first gig was Sum 41 at the Astoria in London.

Shame thats not there anymore

[Psychosplodge]

I'm still chuffed mine was Avril lol, it was great, I was a head taller than everyone else there and had an unimpeaded view...she really can't play the drums though...

[DrLove42]

Next question would then be first CD you ever owned....

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Mine was......... Linkin Park, back in '03?

My first CD was Muse (Showbiz), back in '99.

[Psychosplodge]

Single I believe was Britney Spears baby or whatever it was called, purely for the enhanced music video lol
or possibly My name is cause it's a fricking hilarious song.

Album I think was Avril LAvignes second album.

[DrLove42]

Lol. I can put my hand up for S Club 7 :P

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

I've always been surrounded with rock, I've never been into the pop scene.

[DrLove42]

My rents were never much in music, so what i've gained I've gained over the years. Not into massive heavy heavy rock

Which is why i point out Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge as being critical tipping points in my life. Not only were they truely staggeringly brilliant racing games, to the point of me still playing them, but the soundtracks opened me up to a huge array of music i'd never heard before and changed me in a big way.

A lot of the musicians in those games i'd still class as some of my favourites.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Changed you in a big way? Sounds very Disney...

[DrLove42]

Yes. I now spend my time singing and dancing in public and have a friend that is a talking animal.

I mean it opened me up to a new world of music. So was a big change in who i am

[Psychosplodge]

I've always been surrounded with rock, I've never been into the pop scene.

I was never what you'd call "into" music till I got proper access to proper music (as opposed to manufactured pop crap) when I was about 14-15


My rents were never much in music, so what i've gained I've gained over the years.

My rents were generally still in the 80's

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Suppose that's one thing that I can thank my dad for.

[The AKH]

Suppose that's one thing that I can thank my dad for.

Hear hear.

[Wolfshade]

Next question would then be first CD you ever owned....

I brought;
Dusk and Her Embrace - Cradle of Filth
From the Cradle to Enslave - Cradle of Filth

Both on the same purchase.
