    Wow! I had no idea that the word sideburns was coined after him, that's what I call quality information :grin:

    Burnside was noted for his unusual facial hair, joining strips of hair in front of his ears to his mustache, but with chin clean-shaven; the word burnsides was coined to describe this style. The syllables were later reversed to give sideburns.

    The best place to enjoy electronic music is in a cool intimate club with a few hundred people instead of thousands upon thousands.

    I'll probably agree, the thing is that I've only been to small clubs where there are good DJs, I've never been to a huge event.

    Exactly, something like 5 days off (or it's bigger brother 10 days off) are much more fun to go to. More bang for your buck so to speak.

    Cool, great lineup of artists

    Heh nope, I'm not at all attracted to that event. Did you go there?

    No, but I was thinking of going there, the photos that I've seen from it are quite impressive. Why are you not compelled to go? I thought it was more or less a Mecca for people that like electronic music.

    I would say that the forums would benefit if there were more serious stuff posted but then again I'm not the most active person here so I should not judge whether if it is approriate or not,

    anyway I have been watching a lot of CNN the last two weeks since german television sucks, so I've been following the crisis very carefully.

    The reason why I posted was because I felt so frustrated by the fact that I really can't think of any way for the crisis to end and I wanted know if someone here had the slightest idea what they could do.

    It's the people who made Narbacular Drop that have been making this too. They got hired by Valve after they showed their project, developed at DigiPen, off. I think they've been working on this for the last year.

    Screenshots really, really don't do this justice. Besides, there aren't any official screens released. Here's a snapshot from the HD trailer though:

    I'm most positive that you're right, thx:clap:

    One thing that will be interesting to see is how Valve handles user input on the consoles. With a PC user, they have full control. They can see where people are having trouble and reduce the difficulty (which they have done) and balance the game more effectively. I doubt neither Microsoft nor Sony will let them track user data from their platforms, which kind of leaves console players a bit left out.

    Since there are no differences in gameplay they could use the info they get from the PCusers right?

    There can't be that much difference:erm:

    Due to the recent Israeli attacks I've been thinking even more about what will happen in the middle east. It seems like we are living in an escalationphase where nothing can stop the alienation between the muslim and western world.

    This both troubles me and makes me sad. It's so frustating that the U.S is behaving like they do, since they have always been the "heros" in my western view of the world. I know very well that this is naive and nowadays not even the case. Still I believe that the world is better of if the Americans win, now that they already are there, and by that I mean the iraqi and the afgan war.

    This is also pointed out by the french intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy and since he seems like he's the only french intellectual that isn't a communist or left-wing fanatic I might consider his ideas as perhaps realistic. Check him out at Wikipedia if you like.

    Both the Israeli-Palestine and the Israeli-Lebanon conflicts are even worse, since many people don't have the strength or will to care about it any longer.

    I could make this post much longer but then you wouldn't read it.

    What will happen?

    I think there's a second song out now, Anna II or something. Can't vouch for it though, haven't actually heard either of the songs.

    Aha! so you didn't spent midsummerseve partying with drunk seventeen year old girls:grin:
