No problem.

Metal shirts I have are just 3 Inches of Blood (Fire Up the Blades art on front, bullseye on back) and Children of Bodom Blooddrunk design from Gigantour. I wish I had more like you.

You hung out with Zakk Wylde?! Nice! He's always seemed like a cool guy, loved his national anthem cover in 07 (and I believe 08 as well, either way those were Ozzfests I went to).That's very cool.

I don't know if you knew of gamesmeetmetal.com, but it's a cool blog a former 1upper (riffcompelsme) started I used to help him with. We got a lot of stuff from Roadrunner, might be something you'd like.

Retirement sounds nice, but it is kind of funny a metalhead playing mermaid. haha but that just means you're a good dad. Maybe play Mermaider next time you do it. lol But hey, you've earned it (retirement)!

That sucks. I can relate, as I'm currently trying to get the last five masks in Majora's Mask; so many damn FAQs, and so much waiting ... I feel your pain. lol

Odd you can't open a box, though, must be some weird button combo, or maybe it's glitching, and you need to stand in just the right spot?

While I understand the above comments made, I think you have a point. Maybe we could just call them LRPGs and NLRPGs? (Linear and Non-Linear)

To me, it looks like Anime stylized stingrays shooting laser beams lol.

Who's doing the female voiceover?

I came for the references to the heavy metal music, and was not disappointed.

I like the layout, reminds me of facebook, but with an emphasis on gaming trophies. Congrats on the new job, whatever it is! I need mine to give me more hours.

Virtual Future - Loved it, sounds like production values are low at first but it picks up and gets going, it gets awesome, might be my favorite of what you said to listen to.

Midnight Madness - This I've actually heard and seen the video for before. I think the video turned me off a bit, but it's a decent song with some cool solos, though I'll always see "Kissing the Shadows" as the best example of Alexi's (and Janne's) soloing.

Passage to the Fourth World - Starts out sounding a bit like Trivium's "We are the Fire." Overall, I thought it was ok. (And I'm not sure if your link was to a low quality one, but I think the one I listened to was high def enough; I had Youtube open so I just typed the titles in).

Suicide by My Side - In the video I found, solo started about 3:00, was good though. Again, not a great music video, but the song more than made up for it, this was one of my favorites.

I Spit on Your Grave - It sounds like a female Bruce Dickenson ... awesome. It's weird, but I notice now how often Alexi spits before songs. lol

Well, "Downfall" is a staple song for them, and FtR is widely considered their best album, so they usually play stuff from Hatebreeder on, but yeah, Alexi doesn't like Something Wild for some reason I can't understand.

I've liked all their styles to varying degrees, I actually really like Are You Dead Yet? and their newer stuff as well; it's been a while since I was really into them, but I do love a lot of their songs.

Never really listened to Sinergy, though I did know of them and that he was engaged or married to the singer, but I love the punk band he does guitar for, Kylahullut.

My new blog is all about it, to make up for the lack of mentions this blog. lol
