Funny just how similar Phil's voice is to Peter's though...


The band was successful after Peter Gabriel left mostly due the similarities in their voices...

Or not.

Dang, that's a big chicken.


"What's the matter, Colonel Sanders? Chicken?!"

I've realized that as you get older, the year goes by faster and faster. A whole years felt like an eternity back when we were kids. And this is due to us always looking up to some event in the future. The weekend. Some project deadline. Planned vacations. Something scheduled in two weeks or two moths. We are always living in the future, thinking about the time passing by faster and faster. And as we get older, we realize that all that time is not coming back. We are not getting older, we are getting closer to death.

I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, I own Pipers, plus every album from Atom Heart Mother to Final Cut, plus Division Bell. Kinda sad the way they departed, with Roger Waters destroying it all and the rest of the band so traumatized they are too scared to do anything good with a PF name on it. I prefer their prog-rock era, from Atom Heart Mother to Animals, although The Wall is good too.

Any more prog-rock fans here? Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes, Genesis, stuff like that?

The Things We Hate And Love Thread .

I fucking hate how much time and effor I spend with people, so called friends, that don't apreciate what I do for them, who literally use me whenever necessary and simply toss me away when done, absolutely ignoring me when I need the most. And what I fucking hate the most is that excluding these people out of my life would leave me with almost no one around.

Yeah, I have to say, I loved The Last Samurai. It's so confusing watching it in Japan, though - you can never get the perfect combination of Japanese with English subtitles and English with Japanese subtitles (that is to say, it's impossible to satisfy both audiences at once...).


For those familiar with japanese culture, the mere fact that we see Tom Cruise as an american fighting on the side of the shogunates during the Meiji Restorarion is absolutely bizarre.


To say the least.


I am familiar with Japanese culture, and I saw it with my Japanese family at least twice and we all loved it. I was opposed to the idea when I saw the trailer, but I think it really highlights something about Japan even today.


Well, to me, it would be kinda like having a scientologist crazy Ken Watanabe playing a samurai turned soldier figting alongside americans on the civil war. Plus, japanese audiences have a distinct sense of what is considered bizarre.

Video Games - a general discussion thread

I have played the DS one. Quite fun indeed.

I am very disapointed by the sales of Star Fox DS on Japan, the game hasn't sold very well... Perhaps the new gameplay mode and the somewhat obscurity of the StarFox name between the youngest generation are to blame. Let's see how it goes at the western market.

By the way, all of the top 10 game sellers in Japan were NDS games. The Final Fantasy 3 (not released in america) remix for the DS is the #1.

Odd dream I need help with.

Well first of all, you took your date to a dance and not to the hospital, something I'm not too proud to say that I did more than once, with bleeding involved. But your dream clearly shows that she was not really sick. She was narcoleptic. Hmnnn, but wait! Weird girl, overprotective mother, a prom... I feel you've been watching "Carrie" way too much!


Haven't watched it lately. And how many hours did it take you to come up with one?


I know you haven't, it was a joke. If you seriously wanna know a bit more about that dream and yourself, I strongly recomment a good psychologist.

How many hours to come up with what? That comment? I don't know, maybe 30 seconds, 1 minute, I wrote as fast as I finished reading all the posts at this thread. I do it on the spot.
