    That looks like a good area for astronomical observation. And Today, you all learned that IFHTT loves him some astronomical observation. I just call it telescopin'. I hereby claim the title geek supreme. Well maybe not supreme, but I like to consider myself one hell of a geek.

    I have to say I absolutely love your expression in that scene, KitKat! You kill a bandit and a vicious goblin without a single blinking of an eye, with a totally uncaring and blank expression. To be honest, most bandits and all goblins would have never dared to even confront you, after seeing that expression. They must have been a couple of very brave, or stupid, specimen that chose to be sent to their maker by your mace.

    Edit: Oh... I must correct myself. It's not a blank expression at all. It's the same that your avatar has, only with the eyes open! It's just horrible. It's as if you almost but not quite smiled to the enemy, just before killing him, with no hesitation or remorse.

    Or rather, they were afraid of the strangely-shaped head of hers. I mean, if I walked by and saw a head like that, I'd stay the hell away.

    Today I learned that July 7 will be one of the best days ever. Tool are coming to sweden! Let me repeat that. Tool are coming to sweden!

    Lucky. I hope they announce a US tour after this one and I hope the come back here. I saw them in 2002 and I will see them again any time they come within reasonable driving range. Have you ever seen them live? Holy shit it's like a spirtual experience. You feel rejuvinated and alive after the concert lol.

    I saw them in 2002 as well. It was funny, the stage set up had these 2 large balloon clusters, meant to look like molecules, floating over some fans on the stage, and one kept hitting Maynard in the head. Anyway, it was fuckin awesome, though I wish I didn't have shitty seats.

    Fuck i can't, can't, can't goddamn wait for the new album to drop... and holy shit, the first single is supposed to hit radio this month!!

  13. #413
    Yeah the huge molecule balloons. haha. They couldn't get the one on the left to stay up, it kept floating out from over the fan and flying backwards. Was Maynard at the back of the stage like siliouetted at your's heretic?

    They played here in 2001 after the release of lateralus. It was truly a mind blowing experience, words can't describe it. They didn't have the ballons, but they had two huge screens set up where they showed various weird clips. I don't know if it was controlled by someone, but the music actually synced with the videos. They are probably the most amazing live band ever.

    The new single "Vicarious" will be aired april 17 on radio and from what I've read they are working on the video. The album will be released may 2 in america and may 1 in some places depending on where in the world you live.

    ...Today I learned that yous guys like Tool to.:P

    Yay Tool! I wish I could see them live too. el boss, you'll have to tell us all about it when you go to the concert.

    Today I learned that approximately 130 million mobile phones (about 65,000 tons) are thrown out in the US each year. All that delicious lead and cadmium entering the ecosystem....

    Well if it makes you feel any better, think of it as ashes to ashes and dust to dust... all this stuff comes from the earth anyway, we are just returning it to where it came from.
