  1. DOOM - Born Like This HORSE The Band - Desperate Living Animal Collective - Merryweather Post Pavilion Mew - No More Stories... The Mars Volta - Octahedron (Even though it's their weakest IMO) Kromestar - My Sound NOFX - Coaster Shadow Dancer - Golden Traxe
  2. I'm quite liking the Jonas Brothers actually.
  3. I don't get this thread. Is it just albums you think are brilliant, or is it an album by an artist that isn't their debut album which ended up redefining them musically, being so far out to what people had expected?
  4. I think it's more controversial to have a shitty matchmaking service on the PC version, essentially making dedicated servers obsolete just so Infinity Ward can control all the content (in short, you will have to pay for your shitty maps just like on the consoles). No clan servers, custom mods, nothing. Furthermore, they also announced that there will only be 18 players per server instead of 32. I am looking forward to pirating this game and wishing I was playing TF2.
  5. I see Peter Dow has his own business set up. The illegible shite gave it away.
  6. I'd like to be the first to say: What a fucking incredible gig. Colin, you should be proud for putting this on. I haven't had as much fun at an Aberdeen gig since Lightning Bolt. Amazing night.
  7. HORSE The Band called themselves Nintendocore to take this piss, although it seems to have been picked up in popular lingo now. HORSE The Band piss on anything else that has been recommended in this thread.
  8. Boyzone were always a money grabbing opportunity.
  9. I just discovered this mofo: Beasting tune.
  10. Ahh Martin Galway - I have Project Galway which is a compilation of his stuff and this tune is on it Top notch. My favourite C64 tune ever is the Flimbo's Quest menu screen, but unfortunately there's no upload on Youtube
  11. Rob Hubbard is a genius. I managed to pick up his C64 Orchestra CD which I think is now out of print. The box it came in was fucking cool: Nowadays, you are either a musician or a programmer. Back then, you had to be both - this included creating a sequencer program that could interpret specified notes using the SID chip and arrange them as music. Quite incredible to think that so many composers developed their own sequencers to do this. All composers need to do these days is record the song, save as a general audio file format and slap it onto the game disc, with the programmers inserting about one line of code to play the song at a particular point in the game. I have a huge respect for video game soundtrack composers, especially before the PS1/Saturn/N64 era. My favourite game soundtrack of all time has to be Streets of Rage. The soundchip in the Mega Drive was horrible compared to the SNES, but what Yuzo Koshiro pulled off with that game was absolutely amazing. He even got asked to DJ in nightclubs after the game was released. YouTube - Streets Of Rage 1 - Beatnik On The Ship
  12. That's what every Spectrum owner says. It's unfortunate you landed with the inferior system but oh well.
  13. Anyone remember System 3 from the Commodore 64 days? I remember some incredible tunes from some of their games: The Last Ninja Flimbo's Quest International Karate Other C64 classics: Wizball Monty on the Run Titanic Blinky Klax Boulder Dash Chase HQ Slightly Magic Dizzy (of course) Commodore International Soccer Is it just me, or is Treasure Island Dizzy one of the hardest games ever? One mistake and you are fucked.
  14. Sounds like a bit of an overreaction if you Ask me.
  15. Best games on Amiga were Soccer Kid, Cannon Fodder and Turrican. Oh, and that Lotus Esprit racing game. Played the shit out of that one too.
  16. He looks like he is on ket to be honest. Still pretty funny though, especially when he tries to grab the table and misses it by a mile.
