Used to listen to In Flames back in middle school.

Completely forgot how amazing they are.

"Clayman" is one of the most underrated metal albums of all time.

I think/hope the Yankees will take a few steps back. Hopefully the Redsox continue to suck. The Rays will always be the Rays. Competetive due to their awesome pitching. They score just enough to win. Maddon should win manager of the century.

I honestly haven't been excited about the upcoming baseball season in November in a long time.

Joe Maddon is awesome. The thinsg he does to work around injuries, people's deficiencies, etc is phenomenal.
+ He and/or that pitching coach staff should get some crazy trophies. In back to back seasons turned Kyle Farnsworth and Fernando Rodney into elite-caliber closers?? Really?? Those two?!? Rodney hadn't been under 4.24 ERA or 1.36 whip since 2006.
Farnsworth has as career ERA of 4.24 and 1.36 (coincidentally). Ol' Kyle finishes his season @ 2.18 and 0.99 while Rodney had the ludicrous 0.60 and 0.78.

Meh.

Some managers are indeed better than others, but they're all overrated.

Depends. There are some that are more hands-on, like Maddon. There are others who just let their coaching staff do the work, and reap the praise.

[chazzy1864]

I gotta applaud that ones that turn nothing into something though. St. Louis is another team that makes stars out of pitchers. Was bummed to see Tony La Russa head off.

Baseball is over, guys.

Baseball is over, guys.

I know . I have nothing to talk about since the NHLPA and the NHL are being *******s. Unless you want us to talk about fantasy football?

[Miketoc]

I really can't deal with these lockouts, NHL doesn't even look like it's going to start December at this rate.

[skizbees]

NHL...did they cancel another month's worth of games again? /notfollowingseriously


Ten more days of 3-lens land for now and three weeks till graduation. My tuition for the semester got refunded as a "graduation scholarship". /academicnicetites

What is "3-lens land"?

+ Awesome about the "scholarship".

re: metal, for me this is still the benchmark:

This kind of occurrence is common when you're up in the arctic surrounded by men for weeks at a time.

Thanks.

Niceties. My brain's been fried for weeks. Three lens land...I've been wearing a stick on prism lens with my glasses since Sept 7 for vision therapy to prep for an upcoming eye surgery (then LASIK afterward). Turning my left eye 35 degrees back toward my nose was a metric ton of work.

Ahhh okay. Damn, never heard of someone going through that. Hopefully the surgeries go a-ok.

Um...who's hand is that smashed in the desk? A shoulder with no body? Photoshopped skirt shadow? Chalk on the floor? Come on, man.

[t8rtot]

I was told it was today only... but I cannot confirm that.

Also enjoy a cute kitten stream.

It might be wise for people to act sooner rather than later. The last similar package on amazon (I think shoup linked it) apparently sold out of some of the keys early. When my buddy tried to go and buy it, one of the games no longer had keys available, so he couldn't purchase the package to get the other 5 games.

Uh, yes it's an arm that has been detached from the body.

It's from one of her movies where she's a possessed psycho killer and lezzes out with another chick. The movie sucked but who cares?! It's Megan Fox doing naughty things.

I will take your man card now.

4-cylinder AWD SUV's are an exercise in compromise.

For people who don't want to do anything well.

A couple of days overdue but I forgot to reply to this.

Enjoy.

[kvk1]

Not bad.

I can't get over how beautifully polished and aggressive the tone is.

I dont get why In Flames and Disturbed left out the middle section of Land of Confusion, its the best part of the song.

Just to add to this T, the car being chased by that '4-cylinder AWD SUV of compromise' was a $200,000 Porsche GT3 RS, one of the finest track cars you can buy and he couldn't lose him from his rear view. I'll let you reflect on that.

I can't get over how beautifully polished and aggressive the tone is.

No argument there. Never heard it before. Impressed.

Skiz doesn't have a man card.

Jennifer's Body was crap. Megan Fox is entirely overrated. The "ugly friend" is actually hot as hell. Amanda Seyfried - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1086543/

[Final_Rep]

That video was uploaded in 2009 so even at 480p I think the audio is only pushing 96kbps. Pretty piss-poor. I'm going to have to hear these guys on a real audiophile quality track. Anything uploaded to YouTube today is up to 192kbps so that's pretty decent, plenty for most metal. But 96kbps is definitely going to muddy the tone.

Edit: If I can get it I prefer 320.

Hey! I said the movie sucked. Megan Fox is probably the worst actress I've seen making big movies.

You're right about the "ugly friend" too.

It's simple.

You like to simulate racing.

K thx.

Not really a snob, but I prefer quality audio when I can get it. I have very nice headphones and home theater stuff... why would I play 96kbps crap on it? Might as well just buy Bose, or worse, Beats.
