Ah, yes, i liked the story. And it's indeed kind of like our bible thing, like a betrayal story and all. Great story, mate.

 

[Zack]

This is priceless:

Perfect timing too

 

[Magrathean]

Aha, really good. Didn't load the whole thing (stupid fucking slow net and shitty connection), but it loaded around 3/4, and indeed it has perfect timing. Ah, what people with too much time will do...

 

[Zack]

Ah, I meant perfect timing as in Insomnium becoming "popular" here. I didn't watch it all the way through, though

 

[Magrathean]

Ah. Well, yes, that too. I meant that they timed the images well with the music: the intro is great, they combine the different scenes (Harry remembering/thinking, the battle between the Potters and Lord Voldemort, etc) well with the different parts of the song, and they time the flashes (like thunder or spells or whatever) perfectly with the key drumbeats in the fill-ins.

 

[Zack]

Hmm... maybe I should actually watch this. Have you found any particularly good videos on youtube by the way?

 

[Magrathean]

Not particularly good, but yes particularly interesting, considering the fact that you're a DT fan. Anime video with Teh wonders as background music. I'm particularly fond of it only because i had to hack through the HTML code of the YouTube site, copy the file's location into another website, download it, smooth it with QuickTime Pro (it jumped around and had terrible resolution) and then poof it down from 290Mb to 55Mb, but it's not really good or anything.

 

[Zack]

O, well good job

How about this one?

[Magrathean]

Loading. I'm not too fond of YouTube because of the enormous loading time, the terrible resolution and all the trouble one has to go through to download the videos, but there's good stuff there.

 

[Zack]

See my elite internet access cancels that out
Finally I can rub something about my computer in your face.


I know what you mean though. Most of the stuff is bullshit, but it's 1, there's nothing to do and this is mildly entertaining

 

[Magrathean]

I suppose you have an über-fast connection, live in a country where rain doesn't fuck up phone lines and haven't screwed up your computer with 9489689782787 addons/GUIs/whatever.

*watches it* Man... 20 minutes for that?!

Perfect timing too

the video is little boring and this is the first time i hear something form Insomnium and this song is too similar to early In flames music (music wise) and i like it but i liked In Flames better

 

[The Nerevarine]

I have 3 exams coming this week and i haven't even started

 

[Cuthalion]

what a coincidence, me too, i am the official dt forum in-vain-bread-eater

 

[Rincewind]

Ehhh...I better not start about exams closing in on me this month

 

[6 Stringed Fingers]

Everyone is having exams? I'm gonna study any time soon anyways. I resent what they are making us learn. And it'll be one year before I can have a say on what I'm interested in. So, good luck on all your exams.

 

[Rincewind]

Thanks, and you too...although no luck will help if I don't get my hands on books VERY soon...
Ah, all of you at least reminded me on that...now just little more will
