  1. I used to love this show as I would have nightmares of a zombie apocalypse every time I had watched an episode.

    But watmm-user teetime kept telling me about its flaws, I didn't want to listen, but I can't un-hear his criticism and god damn he is right.

     

    The very first episode of the first season was good. Real good. But most of the stuff that followed wasn't all that great. Not terrible, but not great either. The nightmares are just rooted in my fear of a zombie-survival-situation itself, but objectively, it's not a good series... still watching though.

     

    Anyone played the game by Telltale games? It's supposed to be THE shit.

  2. I know I'm quite alone with this, but this is in order of my personal preference, regardless of objective quality:

     

    Tri Repetae

    Draft 7.30

    Amber

    Untilted

    Confield

    Chiastic Slide

    Quaristice

    Incunabula

    LP5

    Oversteps

  3. [...] my sister's wedding so I just saw this again [...]

     

    I hope you immediately shared the news with her! NOW it must REALLY be the happiest day of her life! Tell her congrats to new AE (and the other thing if you have the time) :music:

    Full net of Brussels sprouts clearly visible below Sean's hand! So the rumors are true! :emotawesomepm9:

  4. I agree, it's not that great. The colors are nice. But that's about it. Maybe there's more to it, maybe there isn't. However, I think AE want their covers to be pretty reduced. Tri Repetae only has that solid color cover and it's a brilliant album (then again, there's nice photo-stuff inside). When the cover artwork doesn't point you in a certain direction, your imagination runs wilder and more freely when listening to the music, I guess. I don't think they wanna go Amber again. I like Amber artwork, but I understand their point. What I don't understand is the Oversteps artwork. It sucks way more than this imo and is absolutely unfitting to the music.

  5. Love the album, still not 'getting' the 2nd half though.

     

    Track 1-4 are killer tracks. Yet everyone digs Sublimit and I'm always like ... 's alright, I guess?!

  6. I have dozens of folders full of strange pictures that I found accidentally.

    But currently, I'm just pulling all of these off the same Russian blog I found. Like these:

    ^ that one has semi-transparent colors even! embed it on a pattern-background, it'll shine through.

  7. Horror / Ghost / Found Footage movies I've seen lately:

     

     

    The Pact - Kinda new ghost movie thing. One of those "was alright I guess"-movies. But nothing special. Acting could have been better but didn't suck either.

     

    La Casa Muda (The Silent House) - Argentinian horror-movie that is (seemingly) filmed all in one shot. Cool concept, and the beginning is pretty creepy. Unfortunately it gets rather cheesy later on and the ending is extraordinarily stupid. It did have some potential and my friend (who only saw the beginning of the film) was so frightened by it, he had to turn it off, so I guess there's an audience for it.

     

    V/H/S - Didn't like it so much at first because I expected psychological horror, which it isn't, but once I got over that, it was actually quite good. The concept of having different directors producing different stories for one movie isn't new, but it fits the found footage genre perfectly well. So in the end, I really enjoyed it (except for the story that's set in the woods, that one sucked pretty bad), it's a fun Halloween movie not to be taken too seriously. "Second Honeymoon" and "31-10-98" were my favorite fragments.

     

    The Poughkeepsie Tapes - well, the first 20 minutes or so of it ... It was like the idiot version of Lake Mungo. Poor acting, poor everything, turned it off, piece of wank.

     

    Diary of the Dead - Even worse than the Poughkeepsie Tapes. Every line made me want to feed the script to the writers. And why'd they put a steadycam on the camera if it's supposed to be a found footage movie, and most importantly, why on earth would there be a dramatic film score on a found footage movie?! Yeah I know they explained it ("I put music under this footage I found in order to scare you so you understand the truth") but that's pretty bullshitty. I turned it off too. So lame what Romero puts his name under these days.

     

    The Last Exorcism - A camera crew is shooting a "documentary" about a priest who wants to expose exorcisms as fake, so he lets them film him and show how he stages everything with sound effects and stuff, but then it seems like there's actual demonic shit going on ... I liked that one. Good actors. (again, I didn't like the ending, but that's just me) - could have gone on much longer, very enjoyable.
