    Dragon is so good, the music video is insane. It's very much an old school music video, a mix of art and music. Some moments feel like Windows Media Player circa 2008, kinda camp but just very very cool.

    Yes! That's so good, sounds like it would be a great show. I'll probably go next time they make it over to Australia.

    Yeah same, I was very much the same way about Lamb Of God, a lot of the time I can't stand stuff that's too heavy or has too much screaming, and I'm sure the more hardcore out there will cringe at me - I love metal but I'm not a maaassive fan of blast beats. It can all be too much, and a lot of other LoG stuff has that. I need a groove and something to flow along to.
    However, the Omens album by them is the first time in a long time that I have been impressed and found something by them that I can really get into that's still heavy. I'd give the first 3 tracks a listen.

    Such a great game. I had it spoiled, but I just love the slow burn, and the unnerving tension in parts (seeing a figure on the ridge etc). It doesn't have the same replayability in the same sense...

    Such a great game. I had it spoiled, but I just love the slow burn, and the unnerving tension in parts (seeing a figure on the ridge etc). It doesn't have the same replayability in the same sense that other games do, but like your favourite movie or book, it's a standalone experience you can just come back to when you're in the mood.
    Gone Home, What Remains of Edith Finch, Virginia, and Kona, are other games I recommend that are in a similar vein. First two I'm sure most people know, they're awesome.
    Campo Santo was making In The Valley of God's, but that's been pushed back until 2029, if at all.

    Finished '2001: A Space Odyssey'. I then wanted to get into a bit of a post-apocalyptic mood since recently starting a new Fallout 3 playthrough. Just started 'On The Beach' by Nevil Shute. Have a few others lined up that were recommended for anyone interested: 'Wool' by Hugh Howey, 'Dawn' by Octavia Butler, Roadside Picnic, The Postman, Alas Babylon, A Canticle for Leibowitz, Damnation Alley.

    Will I read them all? Probs not, but I get on a tear sometimes deep-diving subgenres.
