    Best Covers

    My favorite cover of the past year or so. Force Publique doing "today" of Smashing Pumpkins. Type of music is called Darkwave. Checked out some other stuff from this band and genre, at best its a cool "immature" sound, that is much less appealing without the terrific source material...

    Festival Thread. Anything regarding festivals past and future. Going to Glasto 14!

    Have wanted to go for ages. But after getting tix last year work came at last minute. Shame it looked amazing, with Portishead, Smashing pumpkins, XX, FOAL, so many acts I want to see... Disappointed with the leaked or confirmed acts so far. Metallica, along with metal and it's fans have no...

    Live Performances Thread

    Never a big Pearl Jam fan. However you have to respect that their fans say the shows are amazing. Seems like few bands today can evoke feelings from so many the way some for the acts from say 20 years ago could. At least in Alt-rock I can't speak for hip-hop or whatever. Saw Mazzy star a few...

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    Sad to see how few people on some nights. Basically it's our guild and some old guilds with every member having 4+ 55 alts half of them box everynight My guild is pretty size now. We have a consistent group of 50+ and will all be 55 soon. Going to start raids along with our nightly groups in...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I would really love it if the veteran instances were super hard. BC heroics, early on when gear sucked, was easily the best single group dungeons I have seen. However I can't really see any modern newly launched game putting out group content near that difficultly regardless of what some people...

    Soccer 2013-2014

    Honestly I am sort of happy we lost so players can just focus on the League. Really think LFC have a tittle chance if they play well over the remaining 12. Seems we have alot of LFC fans here.

    Hearthstone

    So whats the reason I should play this as opposed to say MTG online? I played enough mtg to get a a bit over 2000 dci constructed rating before quitting in late 03. watched a few HS matches, it basically looks like a dumbed down mtg. Maybe can someone can enlighten me to why I should put in...

    The Movie Soundtracks Thread

    Garden State Soundtrack (04). This made indie/hipster super trendy where I lived(despite being pretty mainstream). Greatly changing my social fortunes. Still likely my most listened to soundtrack by a mile. Also ushered in the era of me and many of my male friends going crazy over...

    I Generally have been hitting between 7-15 concerts a year. Sometimes I see a performance for a band on youtube and decide to see it even If I don't care for the recorded stuff so I figured may as well make a thread for this. Florence's albums pander to top 40 radio far to much. So I was...

    Thanks for the info Denaut. going to go look at the surface 2 tomorrow mostly to make sure all our apps run on the browser. My only fear is how big of a deal is windows phone Os (whatever it is) not having many apps for it? We don't run any phone apps but it might be nice to be able to use...

    Soccer 2013-2014

    Don't understand the Skrtel hate, nothing he could do to stop the 2nd goal. Overall he has prob been one of the better CB in England this season. Surely the best defender on pool. Whoscored has him as the top CB in EPL.

    We mostly use MS office, ACT, Conexsys, Constant contact, Booth boss, and A few other specialized event management tools like floor plan charts/management all of which are web based. Pretty much the only non-web based programs we use are Office, ACT, and a couple other small programs for...

    So I work for an Event management company and often go out on business trips. I need a recommendation for a couple of tablets. The owner is a bit of a Luddite despite the fact technology allows us to own/manage a few trade shows with 300k-1m revenue with only 2 full time employees. My sister...

    Toure should have put that one in on the rebound. Result today shows other top clubs LFC are for real. If they somehow did not realize that already... Raheem Sterling is turning into one of the best Wingers in the EPL. Dude only turned 19 two month ago! So LFC should get an easy W vs...

    Blade and Soul - Kung Fu Korea - Action MMO

    Would playing from the North East US be noticeably worse ping wise then say the west coast? I played SWTOR on a euro server with friends. Even in a non-action mmo my ping would sometimes cause me to take unnecessary hits from raid boss "move out of red area" stuff. Although I do have a desire to...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Problem is, even if it picks up some it's going to require quite a last minute boost. like 250-300k. Thats a TON of money.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Pretty clear at this point if this gets funded it will have one of the highest avg $ per backer of any KS. Really it's gonna rest on how badly some people with a lot of money to burn want this. Gonna need a really big boost at the end. So I wish brad would make up some good 1k+ tiers.

    under 7k today so far, with 1 1/2hr left. These awful daily amounts like this are very problematic for getting funded.

    Spot on Brad, I don't mind something that flags people LFG either but the "Dungeon finder" kills community. When it came out in BC wow I never used it, but it slowly took over and helped turn the game into a single player game with 3d xbox live like lobbys.

    NJ is so gay, they have no culture except being jealous of the actual rich people in CT, and being obnoxious attention whores. Hence they attempt to lump themselves in with NY for ignorant people. They embarrass the tri-state area. Oh and Taco Bell has $1 chipolte chicken grillers + new...

    Yeah I think I am going to keep lurking Reddit in hopes of stumbling upon the next mlp. barring that I am gonna see if perhaps any fandom (IE: mlp, Star trek) Is lacking a show in the area. I am confident we can outdo the others in any genre, since they are usually hiring a big company who don't...

    Looks like at least 13.5k today. Encouraging stuff if they keep this up and get a ton at the end it may yet get funded. Still strongly feel they need to offer up some really nice 1k+ tiers. People clearly are willing to spend big on this. Not having any strong 1k+ tiers is holding back the...
