Because a video game based on pop music and rap would be boring. There wouldn't be awesome monsters, cars, guitars, chicks, and other awesome things. Metal's the only area in music where an awesome video game could be born. But it wouldn't be about them. It would be about metal, with the pop music ...

I haven't gotten to see more than just the demo yet, since I left my PS3 at my other place in Vegas - but however you feel about hair metal, it was a pretty logical choice as the apocalyptic enemy that kills seventies metal. Yes, but why make the game about what killed 1970s metal, as opposed to wh...

I'm buying the GOTY edition today and loading the Dimonized female, Dimonized Clover, Real-Time Settlers, and Molotov mods.

The IGN review's confirmation of my earlier impression that this game disses hair metal (stupidly, as it has some in the soundtrack) convinced me not to get this game; that and the fact that it's EA. I hate music Naziism, and Hair Metal certainly counts as metal more than what came in the 1990s.

That was my intent, as an in-joke based on the "Picks form my Lego town" thread.

The Epic Story of My First Game--With Picks!

For picks of my units, see the thread in the Armory. Here's a pick of the Battlefield, before we started: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ProfessorFairfield/Brikwars/Battlefield/p1020318.jpg The Red Team approaches! http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ProfessorFairfield/Brikwars/BattleFootage/p10203...

A few more vehicles. This is a pair of shots I took to show how I revised one of my units. Here is the original: This is my "Carnoe." It and the VAV went along with the original theme of my army, which was to be mobile and often amphibious. Unlike the SOB Tank, this one was left in, thanks to not br...

jesus man there is no way I'm reading that. Okay, here is the shortened, listed version of my main points. 1) Monopoly bad. Monopoly makes products shitty and expensive. 2) Competition good, even if competitors themselves are bad. Competition gives incentive to produce better and cheaper products. ...

Now, the completed vehicles! This is the Viking Assault Vehicle. Compared to the Technical, it is less durable, but amphibious. Carries a chaingun. Obligatory Technical unit. If there's one thing Somalians have taught us, it's that a pickup truck makes a great armored car for any redneck who falls d...

Filler bricks--that is, ones that you buy a bunch of for the less specialised roles that would be too expensive for Legos--are always nice; the only problem is knowing which fit, and which don't.

....I swear..this is getting annoying by now. Really, Aint NO WAY Megabloks are NOT on par with lego's. Yea I've heard the stories, Megablok's material is cheaper, it breaks easier, blah blah blah. I've never had my megabloks pieces break on me, but I've had hundreds of Lego's degrade on me and go ...

Heh, you may be surprised at this, but I've never read Harry Potter. I'm not one of those people who thinks the books are satanic and should be burnt; in fact, I'm the sort who thinks those people should be burnt, but I've never read Harry Potter. Never read Tolkien, either. I was in to fantasy as a...
