    Best soundtrack of 2011

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It nails perfectly the atmosphere of the game and even constantly reminds me of the game's gold'n'black colour scheme. I don't know how Michael McCann pulled it off but holy balls, it works so flawlessly. Also borrows slightly from the original game, just enough...

    Share the most intense, powerful music you know.

    This, absolutely. I've said this several times but I just can't get enough of it.

    Poll: Should games have less voice acting.

    It depends. If having voice acting in a game means less dialogue between characters, I'm not necessarily all for it. Written text is way cheaper to make than voice acted dialogue, and if for the same amount of money you can have either a ton of well-written text vs. lesser amount of well voice...

    Planescape: Torment... Why?

    I've just finished Planescape: Torment for the first time and I sure did like it. My previous games have mostly been shooters and some rather light RPGs, like Fallout 3, New Vegas, Mass Effect 2 and Deus Ex: HR. My first impressions weren't that good: the pace at first is really slow, there are...

    What's with all them different metal genres?

    I do not know who could be called the first "true folk metal band", nor do I care. Skyclad are usually considered to be the first, although their music is more like heavy metal with some folk elements. Similarly, I do not know what was the first black metal band, some say Venom, some say...

    What's with all them different metal genres?

    I do not think Korpiklaani created folk metal, but it is a good example of it. I'm not sure what you mean by "folky stylings", but I am not calling Korpiklaani folk metal because they sing about, err, folky things, but because they draw so many elements from traditional Finnish folk music. Have...

    What's with all them different metal genres?

    I recommend the Map of Metal: http://mapofmetal.com/#/home Nile is death metal, although I've seen people call it technical/brutal/atmospheric death metal. I don't see any reason to call it anything other than death metal, as it should be descriptive enough. They do write about the Egyptian...

    Can someone explain Black Metal to me?

    It's all about acquired taste. The vast majority of black metal is rubbish, and it's all about finding the right bands for you. If you're expecting complicated, progressive songs, I can't say black metal is your thing. It's all about atmosphere, some bands go for more aggressive stuff but I've...

    Recommend me some good metal of the death variety.

    I didn't know reading a thread requires making obsolete posts. Anyways, since it's apparently "death variety" instead of just "death metal", some other forms of death metal: Wintersun (the band that got me into harsher metal in general) At The Gates Deströyer 666

    Recommend me some good metal of the death variety.

    I hated this kind of music too around 3 years ago. Then I found a metal song which I liked minus the screaming. I kept listening to it anyways, and after a week I found out I couldn't get the song out of my head, and even the screams sounded good. Slowly I moved on to heavier and more aggressive...

    Worried about Mass Effect 3

    I think we did see Legion already in

    BioWare: Mass Effect 3's Weapon Mods Give Players More Meaningful Choices

    Why yes, if they've renewed the combat system they might aswell show it to us. If a trailer doesn't show us dialogue, it must mean there is no dialogue! Also, stop throwing a tantrum just because you don't like what they call a melee weapon. Perhaps melee combat will finally be more varied, but...

    Humble Indie Bundle 3: Now With Humble Indie Bundle 2!

    I paid 10 euros before they introduced Bundle 2 to it, so I suppose when they release Bundle 4 I'll pay 50 or so. Can't wait to play this Braid thing, people have been liking it :P VVVVVV and And Yet It Moves were alright, I liked Crayon Physics too although I'm not much of a puzzle person.

    Depressing music.

    Agreed, if depressive music is your thing, try black metal. If you're the non-screechy type, try this song:
