I'm a metal fan. Still can't get into Mudvayne. They have a good drummer though.

There is only one good drummer and that is Neil Peart.


Well.. there's more than that, but he's probably the greatest.


He was the greatest after 1980. John Bonham and Keith Moon would have something to then, though Neil would go to hell and back in an actual drum war between the three.

I'd rather not have that happen. The might of the drums might rip apart the Earth. There are a few more who could also go into said drum war: Buddy Rich, Cozy Powell, Gene Krupa...

Come on, it's not that bad! I'm not even a true "metalhead" myself, but even I can dig (lol pun) that one.

Most of the metalheads I know(myself included) wouldn't give that the time of day.

Sure, they dress like idiots, but look on the bright side. At least it isn't Black Veil Brides.

Came for the GITS quote.

But you completely misapplied the concept. Like really.

I actually found music I loathe more than country. Thank you for that.

Well, you're in for a treat.


Volbeat's worst is better than anything Mudvayne put out.

That's because I'm not really a metalhead.

I can only claim fandom to a handful of nu-mental bands, and a slightly-larger handful of older ones.

This is my last.fm profile: http://www.last.fm/user/bigraasman.

I'm sorry, did you expect something else from Seival?

Restocking on vodka and borscht. You know, the supplies of a superior being.

Ooh. I see. Very important to have plenty of borscht and vodka on hand for Synthesis.

yeah, because you need alcohol in order for the catalyst's claims to make sense...might as well go out like a russian...

Boo vodka, terrible stuff.  Give me a single malt scotch any day of the week, especially if I have to go through the endings again. :whistle:


Although really?  Bumping a Seival thread for booze talk?  Granted booze is nearly a necessity to sit through the Greenpeace ending but still...<_<

Imagine that. I haven played The Last of Us, but I've heard that it's good. If Seival can like something good, then there's hope... that is unless he has some crazy theories about how the world in that game works or whatever.

"If the essence of life is information carried in DNA, then society and civilization are just colossal memory systems and a metropolis like this one, simply a sprawling external memory."

This idea from the GITS: Innocence... it's genius. And recently I imagined - what if the Catalyst would say something like that?...

...Well, actually it said something like that, but differently. A Reaper is not just a harvester made of harvested lives. It is also a storage of colossal memory systems. Contained essence of life... in other words - preserved life. This means the Catalyst preserved life in each Cycle in two ways: made sure the new life will flourish, and the harvested lives were not wasted.

To be harvested by the Reapers is not to be killed.
The essence of Harvested people is still alive, preserved in the Reaper form.
Killing a Reaper is a crime. Crime equal to the genocide. And total disrespect of the ones who came before us.


Wow, that is part of the logic of the Flood in Halo. When people are absorbed by it they die and only their memories live. The same applies for the Reapers. BTW who are the reapers to decide the destiny of every species they kill?

Killing a reaper is a crime. Being a "criminal" never felt so good.
