I have rediscovered my love for The Elders Scrolls: Oblivion I can't understand why didn't play through it on my old computer.

And I say we have an Anything Goes section where actually ANYTHING GOES. I'm sick of getting multiple warnings for being just a little off topic. There should be a section where post count isn't counted and you can let us retards run wild!
Yes. In all fairness, I understand why they want to keep a "literally anything goes" section away from the forum, one usually decreases forums crediblity but there is a apparent need for it. A "literally anything goes" section would also serve the more serious threads when purely idiotic posts, off-topic discussion and similar would be kept in the "literally anything goes".

Hey, thanks for posting these. I've seriously been looking for a list.
What is the Mario Kart games name coming for Wii going to be? Any news about it?

More moderators.

Some of you people seem to forget that The Clash never wanted London Calling to be a 100% pure punk album, it was so more than that. Just listen to the lyrics; do they even seem remotely similar to any other punk lyric?
I consider it 100% punk Well, atleast new wave, which righteously gets merged with punk. Punk is so much more than Nevermind The Bollocks.. It's a shame people won't accept/don't undestand that.

Absolutely one of my favorites
"It's so perfect, it's almost scary" sums it up pretty good, a true masterpiece.

I bought V for Vendetta today, watching it now.
Magnificent movie.
That's a very good choice, sir I really enjoyed it, need to get it on dvd. I bought Platoon and The Truman Show today, don't have time to watch'em yet though xS I remember everyone speaking about Truman Show since fourth grade but I never managed to watch it myself Hopefully it won't disappoint xP

GN'R News & Discussion should be splitten to 2 boards, News and Discussion. The news board should be strictly moderated (maybe so that only mods can start threads there or they can move threads there (members would start them in the Discussion board).. Why? The small news we get wouldn't get lost in the moronic newbie thread flood and there would be only 1 thread per piece of news).

Still a band...
It's his solo debut album. Why it's listed in their official site with the other solo albums?
Doesn't matter Izzy was still busy back then. And judging by your scenario, thank god he was xP

Gee, you really have a LOT of extra time on your hands.
I could say something really snidey right now, but I'll let this one slip...

I made a school project about punk too, it was great :] Anyways, I also made a thread here back then and got an amazing, surprising answer from zint, which I ended up using as the source material for my project.. You might find it interesting as well:
The Misfits
The Clash
The Ramones
I think even if you asked punk bands that were around then, and punk bands around now, they'd agree that the misfits and Black Flag and the ramones and maybe a hand full of other bands are the sole reason punk's still around.
Misfits were not important in the formation of punk.I don't know one single person who got involved in the scene as a direct influence of the Misfits.
They brought the Alice Cooper image into the fold moreso than others...and wrote some great songs in the process,not much else.
By the way,this leads to (coicindentally) the answer I've been meaning to post in this thread...EVERY single person who was involved in the punk scene in the 70's (that I ever met) was a huge Alice Cooper fan.I'm talking about the original Alice Cooper Band.
It didn't get much more antisocial in '73 (on a mainstream level) than Alice Cooper.It seems mild now but they were over the top outrageous back then,and everyone (that I ever met) who later formed the early punk scenes in their respective cities acknowledged they were fans.
John Lydon auditioned for the Sex Pistols singing along to I'm Eighteen on a jukebox...(I would have LOVED to be a fly on the wall to witness THAT!!).
Lydon is a HUGE Cooper fan,in fact...he contributes to the liner notes with a cool article in the Alice Cooper box set.
a few quotes..
"I've referred to the Sex Pistols as "musical vaudeville" and "evil burlesque" and,for me,there was definitely Alice influence there.And I'm very proud to say so,because,without that,I don't think I would have had that extra kick when I was young - and you do need that when you're younger,to mold you in the correct direction."
"Killer is the best rock record ever made,which,of course,followed the masterpiece Love It To Death..These two albums,put together,were just too much for an angst-ridden teenager such as myself to handle.I realized I never really wanted to make rock music because I thought those two records were the best it could be!And that's why I made sure the Pistols had a different approach.I didn't want to imitate a genre that I thought was so excellent.You can be influenced by people who excel,but you should never copy."
"I've never made it a secret how much I admire Alice Cooper.Some people may think it goes against the grain for me to say I'm an Alice Cooper fan.Good,it's supposed to."
I know exactly what he's talking about,a neighbour of mine introduced me to the Killer album in '71 and it blew my wee little mind!(I immediately went out and bought a copy of Hit Parader with Alice on the cover...and yes,I still have it!).My neighbour was so amused at my intense attraction to the album and the band that she gave me the album (CALENDAR AND ALL!!)..(yes,I still have the calendar!).
I can't explain to you in words why I became such a huge fan at such a young age (he's my all time rock god!).Looking back I tend to think that perhaps I viewed him as something that was mine (so to speak)...what I mean is,everyone around me thought he was a freak,in my neighbourhood Stones/Zep people roundly viewed him/them as a joke.
That was fine with me...so the cretins don't get it....their loss!
Plus I was completely captivated with the antisocial extreme dangerous (at that time) image.
A bunch of guys in a band with a chick's name ignited a huge social/religious/moral explosion.
I wasn't aware of all that at the time...nor did I care....it was cool as fuck and I totally got it (on a certain level,I didn't read more into until I was older).
That completely coincides with how I got into punk.It was a gig at a hall (the bands had to rent a hall,the bars were still too scared to let the bands play).The singer of the headlining band (the Demics) lived in my neighbourhood and he hung out with my older sisters.I'd been hearing a buzz about this band and was curious to see them.Myself and a few friends snuck in the side door.And the whole scene...the bands,the people on the floor smashing into each other,everything...had this insane intense electricity to it.It was an energy level and a rush I had not experienced since...well...the day my neighbour played Killer for me.
I connected with it,dove in head first...and was just as thrilled to find out that the punk scene was equally villified as Alice was (by the masses).Once again,I had managed to tap into a musical force that was dangerous,electrifying,chock full of brilliant songs (Bodies and Under My Wheels are two of my all time fav tunes),frowned upon by the "stiffs",and most impotantly...knocking the rock world on its collective ear!
And as I became entrenched in the punk scene,I was amazed to find out that everyone seemed to be of the same opinion about Alice Cooper...I never ever met a punk who slagged the original Alice Cooper band.
Their influence on punk is massive,and largely...unaccounted for.
Here is the thread I made back then if you want to take a closer look.

If you can find out the name of it, you can probably find some guide that shows you how to remove it manually, and if you follow the guide step by step, you're pretty much guaranteed to remove it properly.
Do this. If you want to find it just go through every process you're running and google them and you will find it. But just remember that it's likely there's more than one virus running so go actually through every process.
