  1. Happy Birthday!

    Happy B-day, elmuerte!
  2. Why would that be sad? You (possibly) read Star Wars comics. Btw, your link is somewhat funny to me, because the Jedi Yeti's name is K'Kruhk. There's a similar Croatian word - "kruh" that means bread.....ok, ya'll can stop laughing now. ( )
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    Watched American Splendor again today. It's really a good movie. Especially if you liked Harvey Pekar. They probably showed the movie on TV again because he just recently passed away... Anyway, what I like about this movie is his involvement with it...it makes the movie quite a different experience than your average "biopic"...the funny thing is, since he wrote bits and pieces of his life as it goes, in the form of a comic book, he actually issued a comic called "Our movie year", that's about him making a movie about himself, in which he writes comics about his life and life in general. So...the movie is about him; we see him making the comics, and the comic "Our movie year" he actually made is about him making the movie that shows him making the comic about him making the movie....lol. Good times. RIP Harvey.

Scandanavian Surgery Simulator Jedi Yeti Uncensored Iron Unicorn Gladiator Communist Jazz - Collector's Edition Helicopter Llama - Hot Pursuit :tup: EDIT: also, Snoogle, I don't know why but that Max Ides theme....it just has something to it....fuck, I've listened to it at least 10 times in a row, I think.... EDIT 2: 21 times, so far....lol. I gotta stop.

    Really? Hm...never saw that option there before...damn. Well, it's over now...thanks anyway.
  6. Myspace Music

    lol.
  7. Myspace Music

    If you plan to make a myspace page and put your thumbs remixes (or any kinda music) up there, it's quite ok. But you should know, it lowers the quality of the music files. A bit. Well, not TOO much but...lol. I mean, I don't know how much it means to you, but it annoys me, for example, to listen to music with lower bitrate. You kinda get a slightly muffled sound. But then again, I'm too much of a perfectionist (a pedant, however you call it) when it comes to sound quality of that which I listen...maybe we don't have the same criteria. So, basically, it's good for a presentation of your stuff, but not that good as a music player. EDIT: And as I see at your Tindeck account, you have 312kbit songs up there...that's better than what Myspace has to offer when it comes to sound quality.
  8. Max IdeAs? hah, cool. I'm imagining a commercial with Chris's voice (the same as for ultra boost)...."Max Ideaaaas...ultra booooost! Hardcooore! Extreme flavooor! Yeeeeah!"
  9. Who do you write like

    Apparently, I write like Stephen King. I put in my short "retrospect" on the game American Mcgee's Alice. Which...maybe makes sense, because there are expressions such as "disturbing atmosphere", "distressing soundtrack", gory visuals", an "asylum" and "falling down chasms"...lol.
  10. Recently completed video games

    I finally beat American Mcgee's Alice, after 10 years…(well, basically, after a year and a half, because I re-installed and started playing the game again last February, I think, although I've actually played through the game in 6-7 takes, or to say, 6 or 7 days, throughout the course of that time). Now…the game is really good. I especially liked the disturbing atmosphere which was largely helped by the even more distressing and disturbing soundtrack (by Chris Vrenna, former member of Nine Inch Nails), which I adore and couldn't stop listening to for a period of time last year. So the atmosphere and the (somewhat) gory visuals and the soundtrack really are my kinda thing for this and have worked perfectly for me in this game, plus the mind baffling environments and the story side, along with the fact that The thing that extremely annoyed me is that the game design sometimes works against you… e.g. you jump off a ledge and land on the other side but the ground is all edgy and dicey (and sometimes…should I say - "slippery", for no obvious reason) so what happens is – you find yourself falling down chasms a lot (but still, the game was made in 2000 so the edginess of the environment is quite understandable). Besides, Alice's character is quite stiff so it's sometimes a problem steering her around chasms (and there are a LOT of chasms and narrow things you walk across in this game). But what greatly helps here is the ability to quicksave at literally any moment of the game. So this immediately makes the game easier to some extent, because you don’t have to start from the last checkpoint and painstakingly go through a certain section of the game again, where you can accidentally die 150 times...again. Unless you forget to quicksave…that happened several times…lol. One other thing that bothered me is the fact that some puzzles and certain parts in the game are just...well, annoying. E.g. lots of climbing on steep...things, and enemies suddenly appearing round the corner and sometimes you just can't dodge them so you fall down...When combined with the fact that the game design sometimes tends to fuck with your head, the result can often be that you just get overly annoyed and angry and you just quit (for the time being or in general. Maybe that's the reason it took me 10 years to beat this game). But, all in all, it's a great game; for the most part, I really enjoyed playing it. And basically, it's fairly easy, enemies aren't too hard to beat (including bosses) when you figure out the system to beat them and the right weapon to kill them with. And when you don't mind falling a lot. And now I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel, "Alice: Madness Returns".
  11. What is the Mystery of Scoggins?

    Finally got around to playing Puzzle Agent a bit. I played the first half-hour of the game so far. Kinda bothers me that some puzzles are completely unrelated to the story. Regardless, digging it so far. A lot. It fulfills my expectations so far, regarding the atmosphere, the design, voice acting and music and the general feel of the game. Let's see how it progresses..

    the blond (long)haired dude with the plaid shirt has the same shoes as i do.....khm, oh yeah yeah, the salmon. bad-ass!

    Oh yeah, Jérémy Clapin. Such great stuff he does. My favorite is his short animated movie "Skhizein". A friend showed it to me a while ago and I absolutely loved it. And it's also not comical...it's quite...depressing...but so wonderful! A must see.

  15. Post your face!

    no. well, yes, it's because of the walls but mostly because of your hair do, your shirt that, when put into the context, reminds me of a white inmate shirt, and the expression on your face. you look like you're about to cry and you're thinking: oh sweet baby jesus...i'm about to get raped by that man over there...lol. yep, you're in prison alright. btw, no offense meant. i'm just having fun making up a context for the picture.

  22. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    i don't know...from a personal experience, i've found out that while beatboxing, you automatically do it. your brain kinda...tells you it's easier to imagine the sounds in your head and make them with your mouth if you "perform" (mimic) the sounds you're making - with your hand, as if you're really playing them on a desk........and...it sometimes looks cool....hmmm.....
