I did think of that, and I suppose that might help a little. But whenever I've observed people playing the game, the tv volume has been up pretty high. And still, that damn tap-tap-tapping ruins it all. If other people can tolerate that, then good for them. I see it as a serious design flaw...

I'll admit I haven't played the game, but we have a demo set up at my store and I've constantly been seeing/hearing people play it for the last 5-6 weeks. And IMO the drumming part is the most annoying thing I've ever seen in any game ever. It might be all right if it actually sounded like...

Just got home from seeing Hitman. That was quite a disappointment. Lots of bits and pieces from the games -- locations, hit methods, characters, and background details -- but all strung together into a really half-assed excuse for a plot. The action wasn't even that great (although it was...

Thanks Tramz. I had already decided to go with the Pro. :)

I gotta see Hitman!! Give 'em hell, 47! :cool:

I'm buying myself an X360 for Christmas. I haven't owned a console since the 80's (although I've played those of friends and family); tired of doing it all on PC I guess. And I get a Christmas thingy at work that'll give me 20% off, so it'll be even more super-cool-like. :) So in the coming...

And now I've heard the whole album, and I have to agree with you, Tramz, about "Don't Stop Believin" and "Hello." They did great things with both of those songs. And "Broken Wings" was also rather interesting. But aside from those, I don't care much for anything else they did. I also agree...

I'd like to point out something rather obvious that seems to be overlooked. As far as I can recall, none of you older OSA folks back at the old forum EVER made any reference to this "backing band for Tarja" opinion. Strange how that was never mentioned until after she was gone. Back then, you...

Ahhhh.... gotcha! That makes sense now. If I watched wrestling (not likely!) I'd have known that. Look up my comment on the DPP thread -- it'll save me some typing..... lol. Sure dude.... we're cool. :cool:

I guess anyone who doesn't share your feelings for Nightwish 2.0 doesn't have a valid viewpoint huh? Way to promote diversity of opinion, Snowy.... good job.

Taking liberties is fine with me, in fact I prefer it that way, up to a point. But it can get to a point where the only relation to the original song is the lyrics, and that's just the way it seemed to me from the few samples I heard. Of course, I reserve full judgment until I've heard the...

LOL... I just commented on this over at Sonic Cathedral. Although in theory I like the idea of taking old songs and redoing them in a different style, especially if it's done by someone with talent, I think in this case the results are just too strange. I listened to some of it on their...

As far as I'm concerned, the only way anyone could say that is if they've gotten amnesia and completely forgotten what "Ghost Love Score" sounds like. :p

Couldn't agree more! :rock:

I guess I'll take a turn..... Name: Bill (don't tell me you can't pronounce that!) Age: 36 (am I the oldest one here!?) Location: Springfield, Illinois, USA: the capitol and center of political corruption for this sorry state. Hobbies: music, books, tv, video games, wasting copious amounts...
