    Death metal performers and fans

    As a death metal fan and aspiring musician, I agree. I think the genre and it's fans and musicians are just misunderstood by people who aren't part of it. The way that the people dress, grow their hair out and portray their violent imagery is just different from what's considered normal, so it...

    Series That You Loved That Were Prematurly Cancelled

    Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil. It hasn't been cancelled yet but it wasn't an extremely popular show and hasn't been renewed for a third season. This makes me worry for the show's future. Hopefully it will get picked up by another network and given the green light for season three but I can't...

    Things people keep saying you do that you don't.

    I guess I'm lucky because I've fallen in with a group of friends who don't judge me for anything that I do and I don't judge them in return. Being a metalhead? They're cool with that. Being a brony? They're cool with that. Being an agnostic? They're cool with that. Hell, they're cool with pretty...

    Reading on the toilet

    I actually just bring my laptop in there with me. My bathtub/shower is like, two feet away from my toilet so I just set it on the edge and browse the web for five minutes.

    Songs that have killed you with laughter

    Pretty much anything by The Lonely Island actually makes me laugh out loud. But "Threw It On The Ground" is particularly hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ&ob=av3e And then when it's coupled with the video, it just ups the funny by 100%.

    I Need Help With Final Cut Pro 7

    Hello, fellow Escapists. I have a problem with the Mac video editing program Final Cut Pro 7. The problem being I can't export videos as high definition and when I try to sync audio with videos the audio ALWAYS goes out of sync with the video near the half way point or the ending. My video...

    A question for you, escapists.

    But what if one of my whims was for those five people not to die when I press the button? What would happen then? Would the button still cater to that wish, or would it just implode because of the paradox? Question aside, no. I don't think I could press it. I doubt I'd be able to deal with...

    Memorable In-game lines

    "Well. This is the part where kills us." "Hello! This is the part where I kill you!" "Chapter 9: The Part Where He Kills You"

    maybe You should be learning a second language!

    1. No. It's just English here, and it's surprisingly bad, broken English at that. 2. I used to know the Russian alphabet back in junior high if that counts, but I've forgotten most, if not all of it. I would really like to learn the actual language though.

    What kind of music does the Escapist community prefer?

    1. Devin Townsend. Though Mastodon are a close second. 2. I've never heard music with the same emotion I hear when I listen to Devin. 3. I don't really have a favorite song, but I'll say "Thickening" by Mastodon, as that one's dominating my iPod right now. 4. Every sub-genre of metal...

    What will happen to your body

    I kind of want to be buried only for the sole reason that if George A. Romero was right about how zombies would come to life, I would be amongst them if it were to happen. That would make for a nice epitaph on the old tombstone. "He was buried so he could become a zombie". I like that.

    Do you believe in aliens?

    I do believe that aliens exist but I can't help but think to myself that the stereotypical, elongated head or little green men types are going to be what exists out there. I prefer to think that alien life that exists in other galaxies is closer to what we have here on earth. Watching The...

    "That's not music, it's just meaningless noise"

    Mmm, mmm. UneXpect. I love that band. They're deliciously good, though "Desert Urbania" is my personal favorite from In A Flesh Aquarium. I'm honestly the biggest metalhead in my town, but most of my friends and acquaintances aren't really all that into it. I mean, sure, some of them like the...
