 It must be costing millions to police them.

It's costs alot more to both the UK and the world to send weapons to the Israelis, so that they can drop them on kids.

There's more than 30k civilians dead according to everyone other than the Israeli's. They're shooting on people gathering food, killing un aid workers, journalists, had leveled more than half of the buildings in region as of months ago.

They've litterally killed more hostages than they've successfully saved. Almost all the hostages released, were released during the last the ceasfire. They've repeately ignored international laws and have plans to build thousands of settlements on land, they've anxed in the past few months (per they themselves).

There's been several 100,000s of people on the streets for the past several months and very few arrests, cause in general they're doing nothing. Most of them just want the goverment to call for a ceasfire and stop supporting the Israeli government while this is going on, nothing to do with supporting hamas.

I could go on, but honestly shame on people like you. People like you that will vote for the Tories no mater what and believe everything you read in the right wing hate rags.

I don't think triple AAA gaming sucks, I think it's just people stuck looking to sequels of the older franchises.

In the last generation people got The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Witcher 3, Persona 5, The Last of Us Part 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and fantastic games like Disco Elysium. 

Last year we got Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy XVI, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo 4

Since the thread was posted, big budget games like Elden Ring, Forbidden West, Final Fantasy VII: Remake ect. In a few days we have Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth (which is being overwhelming well received by those that played it at the minute).

Grand Theft Auto 6 will be out this generation (we'll see about next year) and The Elder Scrolls VI (by the end of the generation).

There's been alot of really good games,

Ground zero was a short mgs game if i remember right? 

 

Phantom pain was a bit slow to start but i enjoyed 

Ground Zero's was basically Phantom Pain's opening act. They decided instead of releasing it as a demo, to release it as it's own thing.... which basically made it one of the most expensive demo's in modern times. £20 for something that can be finished in an hour or maybe even 20 minutes.

This band itself is a bi-polar disorder diagnosis.
 

Pathetic self promotion for a shitty discord channel.

There is no new leak, other than the real tracks we're listening to tonight.

This geek put together an edit and trying to pretend it's something else to get people to join his server.

Ignore the grift.

Maybe they just didn't update the UK and USA pages and it's been postponed there as well. I'm pissed they didn't even send a mail that the release was postponed in Germany, so I canceled the order. Don't have a vinyl player anyway.

You're not alone, apparently only half of vinyl record owners actually own a vinyl player.

Despite youtube, the reality is they're more targeted for hipsters and boomers who couldn't operate a walkman than audiophiles.

I'm actually not joking.

My friend from the industry said they're holding it until the war is over. I don't know which war but they're giving way. 

I heard this too.

It's been delayed until permanent peace between Palestinian/Israel and a 2 state solution has been reached/implemented.

From February 2011:

An alleged MSL tracklisting -

Atlas

Cuban Skies

Goin' Down

Jackie Chan

Light My Fire

Monstrosity

Silk Worms

Soul Monster

The General

Thyme

Tonto

http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?pid=187427#p187427

- just an example post.

This is what was pushed. Alot of the things MSL pushed were half truths, but he was the source of Tonto. None of the posts or msl himself mention Perhaps at all. 

IF anyone had heard of it pre 2019, it wasn't from this

The forums are filled with rumours that people started and then tried to tie to other stuff that was legit retrospectively and it just ends up muddying the waters. 

msl 100% listed Tonto on the cd2 track listing, I've never seen anything that mentioned Perhaps pre-2019, is there a screenshot/source (not a retro-active) rumour before then that would add credibility to the likes of  4 Heavens for example actually existing?

2011-12 when the MSL lists/emails thing happened, but most people didn't pay much attention to it. It was in the CD2 tracklist email

 

The allegeded tracklisting for cd2 was the first mention of Tonto over a decade ago along with an alleged Light My Fire cover. The attempts add stuff like Perhaps/4 Heavens came after the 2019 leaks when people would randomly post things on the forums and credit it other people.

Do you have a link to a mention of 4 Heavens/Perhaps in a post that was made after 2019?

Unlike GNR, who have had many classics since then!

Yes, like Appetite for Destruction - 1 of the biggest selling albums of all time, classics like SCOM/PARADISE CITY which still get played regularly.

Use Your Illusion 1/2 which were the biggest/fastest selling albums for a while - back then.

I do quite Chinese Democracy too, your thoughts though may vary.

Anyway UYI's were a decade after the date/stones tracks/albums I'm referring too. 

The point is the Stones may do big tours and be ingrained in pop culture, but those tracks people think of primarily when they think Stones were in general a decade and in some cases 2 before Guns releases Appetite for Destruction.

I'm not saying The General will be great, I'm saying the Stones legacy stems from albums/tracks 40-60 years ago, not since.

Only the Stones hardcores are going to care about anything since.

The Stones who haven't had a good song since like the 60's or 70's? Versus what may be the greatest song ever recorded in history, as long as Slash doesn't ruin the solo.

Preach brother.

These geeks in the thread critizing you probably couldn't name a Stones classic post 1981.

Fuck me! When did Dazey become a mod?

I sus they either ran out off people to appoint or it's based on how bad you are at Among Us.

Oppenheimer is one of the best films of this decade. 

Front runner for best picture at the oscars.

It's a must see if you're into Cinema. I would not see it and Barbie at the same time/day.

It's a 3 hour epic that's dialogue heavy, yet presented like it's Dunkirk/Interstellar. Don't expect an adventure film.

I loved it.

I usually check out around Estranged with cellphone live streams, but this mix is fantastic, and doing Axl some favours...

This is being broadcast on both national radio in the UK in ultra high quality and on TV with a 30 min delay for free.

There's no need for a cellphone recording.

https://radio-live-uk.com/bbc-6-music

This is probably the best audio recording of pretty tied up with rasp since the early 90s

This sounds amazing, this is the best sounding gig in years. Thanks bbc.

Gonna be hard to switch from the radio to bbc 2 video feed later.

Who knows.

Perfect Crime was on the printed setlist for most of 2006/2007.  Don't think it ever got played.

There's a better one. Oklahoma was on the house of blues 01 set list.

Never played or appeared on a setlist again.

22 plus years later.

George Martin deserves equal praise for their legend, too imo

100%

I love A Song of Ice and Fire.

Women Talking was good, but I get that it wouldn't everyone's tastes and a bit heavy handed. It's a bit more of a good acting vehicle than a great film.

I watched Banshees of Inisherin after as well (not in the cinema though). Pretty good/well written. It wasn't a classic for me, but better than a few of the others.

...and tonight I braved a few inches of snow to see Tar. Tar again isn't for everyone, but I thought it was much better/original than Women Talking. Tar's the kind of thing you traditionally expected to get nominated for an Oscar. Blanchect gave my favourite female performance this year.

I seen The Whale (which isn't nominated for best picture) as well yesterday (in an empty cinema screening). Better than Top Gun/Women Talking imo.

So far for me, it's Western Front/Avatar/Tar/Banshees/Women Talking/Top Gun in that order.

Gonna see Elvis/Everything Everywhere on one of the streaming services either tonight or tomorrow.

The Fablemans is the one I'm probably not seeing, since it isn't being shown again here during Oscar season in the cinema nor is it on a streaming service.

-edit-

Everything Everywhere -  was pretty good.

Elvis - I really do not like at all. It's too much Baz Luhurman and it's a fantasy. The anti-Walk the Line.

/////////////////////////

For me now in order it's - 

All Quiet on the Western Front 
-
Everything Everywhere All At Once 
-
Avatar - The Way of Water 
Tar
Triangle of Sadness 
The Banshees of Inisherin 
-
Women Talking 
Top Gun 2: Maverick 
-
Elvis  (The only I wasn't keen on)

-
The Fablemans N/A

I've decided late to try late to catch up with the best picture nominees this year I've missed.

For me of the films I've seen:

-

All Quiet on the Western Front is of the greatest war films ever. It's a mix of survival horror with a scale of Blade Runner 2049. Fantastic. Unfortunately it was the only one, from those I seen that wasn't on the big screen.

Avatar: The Way of Water was probably the best looking film I've ever seen and a good Cameron film that's best seen on the big screen. It makes the like of Antman: Quantumania look like 20 year old films.

Triangle of Sadness was much better than I thought it would be. Pretty effective dark comedy that doesn't do anything original, but does it well. Fairly memorable.

Top Gun: Maverick is good, but it's a better than average sequel that's a popcorn flick... not a work of art. I think it's a dubious nominee. I'd argue The Northman (which I wouldn't say is a best picture at the oscars material) is much better for example.

I'm probably gonna check out - The Whale/Woman Talking tomorrow night at the cinema.

Elvis/Everything, Everywhere at Once at some point this week too.

How is "Tar", "The Banshees of Inisherin" and "The Fablemans" compared to these films?

Discord is social media too technically.

I think I've spent more time on it procrastinating than I did when I used to play WOW when I was younger.

I find it hard to watch a film outside the cinema at this point, without checking my phone. It's incredibly unhealthy. It's takes an exceptionally good TV show or a good video game to keep from randomly checking.

I have to keep uninstalling it just to actually do work. It's not a phone thing, it is specifically apps like discord.

Which is telling, because I rarely think about the forums or reddit for example.

Absolutely terrible news,  my condolences to Soul Monster ect.

I think it's a coin toss if yellows are also the same?

BBC said during the match, that if both were tied on yellow cards then they would draw lots. 

They didn't know though how that would work or if it would be behind closed doors or publicly. Don't think it's ever got that far in modern times.
