I reckon you'll like them. Similar to the US school of power metal but perhaps a bit thrashier. Their vocalist is almost a dead ringer for the vocalist of Savatage which helps a lot - its really a voice that matches well with the rawer approach to PM.
And that comes from someone who needs an insulin injection to put up with more than 2 straight tracks of stereotypical euro power metal.
you selling off portal 2?Quote:

I'm glad I went for it in Borderlands as I didn't like Borderlands at first, not until around the time I was forced into playing it by myself to get the :platinum: :wacko:
Yeah but we play games for fun, getting achievements for bragging rights and not actually enjoying it, instead seeing it as a chore as Drag did is pointless.Quote:

Dirt 2, Killzone 3, Mafia II, Borderlands, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, Megadrive Ultimate Collection and Call of Duty Black Ops. All of my platinums were fun and not tedious at all.
I could do LA Noire but I don't feel like replaying the whole game as I don't think it's a game you should play twice, ever. :wacko:
And I decided yesterday I am not going to platinum World at War again either. I went into the first mission and quit to the dashboard as soon as I seen the start of the game. No desire to beat it AGAIN on veteran. :fist:
I guess it depends on what you consider boring and how much you think the payoff is worth.
I've spent a ton of time in the gym that I didn't particularly want to, chasing a goal that won't mean shit to anyone but me. I fail to see how that's any different to a GS whore or anyone doing something they may not entirely like for a payoff they will.
Or maybe I'm just weird like that.
I haven't played Mafia II in 2 weeks...ever since I got the 70 game Playpack for 99 cents.
too many games.
Getting the 5-10% of tedious trophies out of a game with 40-50 trophies isn't more torturing than beating that almost impossible platforming section or that hard as hell final boss. I consider all of them obstacles to fully complete the game, if I want to say I've beaten the game I gotta try to get them, complete the section and beat the boss. When there's only 10 or so trophies left, you get them even if some of them can be kinda tedious.Quote:

There's a reason why you preside the club ;PQuote:

ah ok, well i was holding off doing it waiting for ya xDQuote:

When you see 'the world's strongest man' type stuff on TV where people pull a double decker bus with just a rope... Scary stuff imo.
Hows that? Should I make the letters 20 times as big and hot pink? :wacko:
The same guys also pull trains or jets from time to time. They;re ridiculously strong, even if they are roided to the gills.
But I'm not saying you're after fame but at least you can say you came somewhere in weightlifiting competition, the same with a gaming competition, just because nobody gives a fuck about either doesn't mean you can't be proud if you did well.Quote:

Explain, then, why I am 5'4", and in a previous job, I regularly moved tires for farm combine machinery by myself, without the assistance of a bed-crane, with only two 4' metal tire bars.Quote:
