    Went and saw Amon Amart, Entombed A.D. and Exmortus last night. Exmortus: man these guys can shred. I missed the first song or two since i was off in line to get an AA t-shirt but man, they were great. Super tight playing and they had a ton of energy. You could tell they were having fun up...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Took my son to see the movie last night and it was a pretty mixed bag for me. Overall i'd give it a 6.5 or 7. Was it absolutely unwatchable? nah. Did it have some cool action scenes? yeah. Am I excited for the Justice League? eh...I'm wary. To preface my review, I'm not a huge Batman or...

    Minecraft

    Having a son that is 10, I can attest that both of these statements are both true. He'll spend the entire day with a friend playing Minecraft on the Xbox that has no mods, and every boy birthday we've gone to has been either Minecraft themed, or minecraft gifts. He'll also sit for hours watching...

    yeah, they are sort of stuck between the 2 genres. I like BDM a little bit (can't listen to it a lot), so I know it's hard to find a band exactly like them.

    Black Dahlia Murder are kinda melodic death metal, so you might like bands like Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, old In Flames (clayman, jester's race), The Haunted, Soilwork. Whitechapel are deathcore, which is a different style and nothing like melo-death.

    Boxing

    I'm thinking the same thing. I hate Mayweather with a passion, but dude has skills. He plays so defensively and counters while Manny is usually the aggressor, i'm just envisioning Floyd countering all night. It'll be a good one though. Hopefully Manny can just pick him apart and find that shot...

    Argh, I missed the big red text that said the 2nd set of dates were for GWAR and got super excited Opeth was coming to town, lol. Never really got into GWAR. Wonder who'll be filling in for Dave. He was the driving force behind the band and without him, I doubt they would've had the success...

    If you're looking for something a bit harder and more complex but still accessible I'd recommend Periphery. They can be technical but still maintain a groove and be catchy at times. Catchier/Radio friendly-ish song (ignore the dumb video, it's mostly band inside jokes) Little harder...

    The best thing about metal, is there is always something out there for someone. Things have splintered or been subcatagorized, but most can generally be lumped into certain subsections. There is Traditional heavy metal, (normal metal like from the 80's), Death Metal (growling vocals, double bass...

    No, not going. It would be awesome though. I missed them when they came to town last year with Amon Amarth. I was a sad panda Yeah i never really could get into Exodus either, but they made a huge mark on the thrash scene and do not get the credit they deserve. Gary Holt can shred just as...

    The first article says doom is bad, but it was written before his upgraded 3rd color. The second article lists him as a top tier character and i'd agree...he is so annoying to fight lol.

    yeah been playing over a year myself as well. I played pretty competitive, then drop to super casual, then back to competitive, back to casual. I love the game, but the bullshit cascades that happen in favor of the AI get annoying sometimes. Probably the only game on my phone i've had/played...

    Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

    Thanks to the reviews on this before it came out. I had no intention of going to see this movie when I originally saw the trailer, but the reviews here from screeners gave me a different impression. The wife and I went to see it this weekend and man, what a fun movie this was. I'd say it's the...

    28mm Miniature Tabletop Wargaming Thread

    I just recently started playing Warmachine. I'd been looking to get back into a tabletop game and a local place just opened up and offered a free 15 point army to demo the game to help build a community. So I got my little Cygnar battlebox ($50 retail) for free just for trying it out and I...

    I thought it was pretty good as well. I wasn't sure what to make of the show and didn't really care for the first Captain America film. The show picks up a bit after Capt crashed into the ice at the end of the first film. Not sure how far along it is, but they spent the first part of the show...

    Big Hero 6 (Marvel/Disney)

    Just got back from seeing it with my son (10) and nephew (13). Both loved it. I must admit, I'm not a huge animated movie person, but i saw Wreck-it-Ralph and one or two others. This movie was pretty awesome. I felt the villain was great. The humor was plenty enough to take the edge off the...

    Hopefully she will end up like Cabrakan and get some small tweak and buffs along the way. I really enjoy Cabrakan now. I went 8-4 in my seige match yesterday with him. Our Nox was like 3-8 lol.

    Speaking of Serqet, I had a super fun arena a couple of days ago as her. In the lobby, Thanatos and Loki pick and insta-lock, so I decided to play Hel since she wasn't mastery 1 yet, but didn't lock in. The next person picks Bastet and locks. Oh brother...he we go. So i say screw it and pick...

    Man, this game has me addicted, loving and hating it at the same time. I typically try to play all modes, except conquest since it takes so long, for the first win of the day bonus and usually stick to arena or siege there on out. I also play in small chunks, whenever i get time. So monday i was...

    I like Ares. If you can communicate your Ult with others, it's fun to kill 3-4 folks at once, but most good players see Ares on the opposite team and promptly buy beads to counter. Fun story, Last night I played an Assault and the skill disparity between our team and theirs was amazing...

    Glad to see some interest in this game. I recently (about a month ago) picked it up as well. Only level 21 atm and play sporadically with 9 masteries. I typically just play arena since it's quick, with some assault and joust thrown in. I haven't really done any conquest due to time constraints...

    I agree with you Arkael. I feel discarding the new Opeth is doing a disservice. The musicianship on their records is second to none in my opinion. They are definitely not the band of old and I can see how most would immediately disregard their new music based on that. Look at what happened to...
