  1. Cool thread and very interesting responses.

     

    For me it have to be The Wizard of Oz. Certainly not my favorite movie, but as a kid growing up it seemed this movie was on network TV twice a year, once in the fall and again in the spring. As I grew up and had kids of my own and a VCR player, it was The Wizard of Oz that seemed to be the most viewed, like once a week. Now that I'm even older and with grandkids -- you guessed it -- they love The Wizard of Oz, now on DVD. I guessing it gotta be over hundred times already, I've watched the darned thing.

     

    Something about those flying monkeys keeps us coming back...

    Wow, Highlander, haven't seen you in an age!

    How're things?

    Has anyone seen the second one? I'm not sure if I want to see it in case its rubbish and spoils the first for me

    Dobster, don't watch it, just don't...

    There's a reason it was made Direct to DVD

    My most watched movies in this case are The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, just because, well, it's LOTR, does it need explaining?

  2. As of today, I've started getting "400 Bad Requests" everytime I attempt to sign in using Google Chrome.

    "Bad Request

     

    Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

    Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.

    Cookie: forum_member_id=85; forum_pass_hash=(Cut, as it's huge, and for other, more obvious reasons)"

    I wasn't getting these till today and to my knowledge Chrome hasn't been updated while my computer was off.

    So would this be me, or the forum causing problems?

    Thanks.

  3. If we're talking obscure demos I've discovered:

    Dies Irae - Circle of Leth, one of the strangest pieces of black metal ever made, but incredible, why they weren't signed is a mystery to me.

    Tenebras Omnia Vincit - Hostility, Violence, Imagination

    Grimm - Nordisk Vinter

    Also, the Satyricon/Enslaved split is brilliant, It's The Forest Is My Throne/Yggdrassil.

    And I forgot to mention Satanic Warmaster last post, some of the best Black Metal around in my opinion, best album is Carelian Satanist Madness.

    Also, Thyrfing are a brilliant band, began as definite Viking Metal but have become blacker and blacker as their career progressed, all their stuff is worth a listen.

  4. Almost all(if not all) the old albums is good by Norwegian Black Metal bands. Some great examples: Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse , Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, Gehenna - Seen Through The Veils Of Darkness, Gorgoroth - Pentagram, Ancient - Svartalvheim.

    Someone else who values Hvis Lyset Tar Oss more than Filosofem?!

    I thought I was the only one.

    In The Nightside Eclipse is the best old school Black metal album made.

    Also worth noting are Dødheimsgard - Kronet Til Konge, Aura Noir - Deep Tracts Of Hell, Immortal- At the Heart of Winter, Mysticum - In The Streams of Inferno, Windir - Arntor and Ulver - Bergtatt.

     

    The reason I'm not that into bands from other countries is that it is almost impossible to find interesting stuff among all the crap, I have some bands I find interesting from other countries but not many.

    In that case I'd recommend, most of the Ukranian and Polish scenes especially Drudkh, Graveland and Astrofaes, Forest Silence (Hungary.) The German scene, especially Wolfchant, Brocken Moon, Moonblood (They're defunct and the only way of obtaining their music is digitally, especially as they limited all their recordings to small numbers, it's good though)

    Also, France, the traditional bands like Mütiilation, Vlad Tepes and the rest of Les Légions Noires, and a large Depressive/Suicidal Black Metal Scene.

    But my personal favourites are Peste Noire (and any other bands/projects involving Neige) and OOO an obscure industrial Black Metal band, released one (very very good) demo, again only available on the interwebs nowadays.

    Finally, Darkspace (hailing from Switzerland) are well worth a listen.

    :paladin:

  5. Best Mayhem to start with is easily De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, their best album, by far.

    I don't actually like anything else by them.

    Satyricon is a good entrypoint for Black Metal. You work backwards through the albums.

    Spunky, why do you only like Norwegian Black Metal?

    Sweden have put out some good stuff in their time, and East Europe's currently making the best Black Metal around.

    :D

  6. 1.No (Well possibly, but it would be very expensive)

    2.Specially manufactured Video Card RAM

    3. Yes, and all PCIe 2.0 Cards are backwards compatible, they won't be as fast, but we don't even use all of normal PCIe x16's power yet.

    (I'm running a PCIe 2.0 card on a normal PCIe x16 slot)

    :cry:
