Yea, I also smashed the doll.  Whatever quest item was there I nabbed even though I don't have the quest yet, hopefully I didn't bork it.

Personally I don't think you can really compare their old sound to there new sound, too different. I love both sounds, but I don't know if I could say I prefer one over the other >.>

*Nodnod*

Totally agreeing with Milly on this one man. Tarja Turunen is worlds apart from Anette and I am definitely a Tarja-fag. Having that said, Dark Passion Play definitely fucking rules.

To be honest I really don't know enough about their old sound to contrast, I came across a bunch of Nightwish in a youtube metal playlist and all the songs I REALLY liked had Annette singing.  Then I got really drunk, downloaded a bunch of Nightwish from eMusic and shot off like four of five posts here on the forum blathering about how awesome they were.  Which I totally don't regret doing, they are awesome. 

Speaking of awesome check out Eluveitie, extreme Celtic Folk Metal for the win!  I drunk downloaded them as well and haven't regretted that decision either.   

TIL that college life is a never-ending series of soul crushing events!

Pfft, easy stuff compared to Shiren...
Exploring some new areas in The Dark Spire, but I'm running out of group attack spells.

Did you find the treasure room and the room with the creepy doll on the first floor?  The game has atmosphere out the yin yang.

Fay's final puzzle is 99 floors, you start with a big riceball and that's it.  You can't even unlock it until you beat the rest of the dungeons Shiren has to offer, the funny part being that the main story is actually the easiest part of the game.

Three Stooges volume one.  I hadn't realized they had finally started collecting the shorts in a coherent manner for DVD.

I love that song. It's one of my favorite Nightwish songs.
It was kick-ass to hear live, too.

They are epic live, I just downloaded their Made in Hong Kong (and other places) live album and it rocks.

It was pretty sick.
But I must admit that I actually enjoyed the opening act more than I did Nightwish. It was Volbeat, who I'd never heard of at that time, but since then, they've become one of my favorite bands. I'd love to hear them live again.

Volbeat kicks ass.  I'm pretty sure I've heard everything they've done but haven't seen them live yet.

Fay's final puzzle?  Yea, it's legendary for it's difficulty.

Nightwish fucking rocks, especially after they replaced their lead singer.

That is all.

If you haven't beat the family missions you haven't beaten the game, and even after you have beaten the family missions there's one more mission essential to actually beating the game and it's what makes RDR one of the most epic games ever made.

I finally caved in to buying Mass Effect 2, the 30 dollar price tag was too tempting.

Bye Bye beautiful - Nightwish.

It's refreshing to see a band give a hearty FUCK YOU! to their fired ex lead singer and the all female doppleganger band is easy on the eyes.  I would link to the you tube vid but I'm way too drunk right now.

Congrats HK.  I had never really bothered carting an Air Slayer around, apparently I should have?  If I ever get a couple days off in a row again so I can concentrate on it I have to play Shiren again...

Borchardt C-93

It predated the Luger by about a decade.

For influence, sheer badassery and staying power there can be none other than Motorhead.

Can someone else think of a question?  I'm stuck thinking about how awesome Motorhead is.

It's not a 1911, it's a 1908.  I actually had a post about the very gun in question here... http://www.thezombiehunters.com/forum/index.php?topic=534.msg58805;topicseen#msg58805

And yes, RDR is fucking awesome.
