That's fucking hilarious. This'll keep me entertained for hours!

Ragnar  ·  4300 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Intense Death Metal Grindcore Song

This song is none of those things. Well, ostensibly, it's a "song" and arguably "intense", but it's in no way Death Metal or Grindcore. This is pure metalcore. Which isn't a problem in itself, especially if you like metalcore, but some people mind it when one type of music is described as being something else...

This song doesn't sound anything like the dubstep I know.

To be fair, though, all my knowledge of dubstep is comprised of 2 songs. Still, both of those songs have some sort of rhythm change and what is colloquially known as a "bass drop" at one point or another...

Still, cool song.

It depends more on what's already submitted, though. For example, the #gaming tag has submissions at least a few days old, yet it's interesting stuff that might warrant at least a conversation, if not a real discussion.

Besides, it's not even that easy to tell when a submission was made if you're looking at the list and not the page details. This is going to sound extremely petty, but the extra click you have to make to view the "submission details" is too much of a hassle sometimes, especially considering it's set at the other end of the title/description/tag/whatever. One part is on the left, the other all the way over on the right, it's not... ergonomic.

I have a problem with any list of upcoming games that calls them the best. If it was something like the title of this submission ("most anticipated"), then yeah, that would work, but I think calling something that isn't even out yet "the best" isn't... right.

That being said, my most anticipated game of the year is Dead State, the zombie survival RPG made by some of the people that made Fallout and Planescape: Torment. It's supposed to be out by December, apparently.

That'd be hilarious if a person wasn't almost stabbed to death... In all seriousness, though, how big of an idiot do you have to be to mistake sign language with "gang signs"?

I'm curious as to what the train of though was before stabbing the man. I can't even imagine a scenario where the logical conclusion is stabbing somebody for basically walking down a street...

Oregon Trail: Zombie Edition!

Seriously, though, that looks badass. Also, you can give it a try for free on facebook, if you're unsure whether you want to buy it for your phone.
