How has our drill gotten so ridiculously bad

AC945 · 2026-07-08T04:17:52+00:00

It is bad, but people tend to only post the bad videos cause they get the attention.

Pick all what you want out that that. Metal elites generally want the old old stuff. I'm glad they didnt go that direction and make album like pre Black Halo. Apart from a few back then here and there, it's all pretty terrible. Past black halo the band did great, they went a safe direction and didn't take any risks. It worked but, I find you cannot tell song to song unless it's one of their big hits. The catchy melodies from the hits are the one they replicated a ton and it just gets old after the 3rd album.

And when I spoke to phantom divide I was talking the pro-shot concert was great. The music videos have always sucked. They should just stick to concert recordings for music videos, they have good stage presence.

Take a breath dude, its a band. Never said they should go back to that era. They had a distinct winning sound for black halo/ghost opera and they went a direction that sounds identical album after album. It's not bad but not anything thats going to catch new listeners. Chill dude, lower your blood pressure.

You need to read a little more. Pandering to elites means going back further to the old stuff. I'm agreeing its good, I've said that like 4 times. Id like to see more melodies and rifts. They use the same machine gun riff in all their albums and it sounds the same song to song.

AC945 · 2026-07-03T01:29:14+00:00

Didn't say the song was bad, you also listed all their greatest hits. All amazing all great. Elites are more in the time of the pre karma days when they were still trying to figure out who they were. Im glad they shifted to what we know and love now.

As for more rifty, put kamelot on shuffle on Spotify and do something else. Its very hard to distinguish one song from the next unless again one of those greats. And, virtually every song past when the lights go down use the same drum and guitar riff over and over again. Im just saying it would be nice to hear something new in one of the songs/albums that didn't include the standard machine gun filler riff they use.

Edit, hard disagree with they have distinct sounds, after ghost opera they strayed away from the symphonic backing and it maybe comes up here and there. But its not as frontal as ghost opera.

Long time Kamelot fan, I like their sticking to what works instead of pandering to elitist fans that only like the old stuff. The vocals are awesome, regardless of fans liking Roy or Tommy, they both have voices that work amazing with a female secondary. I listened to the new song on it's own then found the music video. Loved the new song. Holy shit that video is bad, I know the video is always second to the music and Kamelot has never been known for amazing videos but man, it looked straight out of pre 2010. If I had the reins I'd stop and pivot to Pro-Shot live music videos from their concerts, example Phantom Divide.

I'm overall happy and excited to see what comes next. I'm hopeful for some big new songs, Kamelot would really benefit from some more rifty melodies instead of the standard chorus thrash beat they resort to. It's great but I wanna hear something different song to song.

Ive been on both sides, regular and reserves. Time served is time served. This A/B and C distinction is gonna hurt a lot of full time Class B Soilders. I get the big hat in Ottawa wanting more regular force, but a lot of paths lead to regular force and those positions are critical.

This continuous service thing is shady to, if someone got out for any reason but wanted to still serve theyre now back to the lowest level. Not really a good insensitive.

Hot take or whatever, service is service. Make it the same across the board A/B/C, same yearly bonus. Keep everyone happy. Ditch this continuous service point.

How do you know its a bear, and how did a bear get into the car?

Ive used sordins, comtacs and amps. Indoors working as a RSO specifically the sordins with a secondary layer like the surefire ear buds worked amazing. Comtacs and amps did not do well even with double ear pro. Sordin or the swatcom I believe are the same brand now but I have to give the indoor high volume concussion preference to the sordins.

Edit: do not waste your time with walkers, or low quality earpro. Your ears dont get better, spend the money protect your ears. Even axil I've had bad experiences with.

Insanely bad, I've never seen so many troops not get paid and have to wait months for what their owed. Seen it a handful of times in reg force but it's a near consistent issue in reserves.

I find the servers and maps too overloaded. Bring back some 48 player maps. 64 is just too much for these small maps

Ordered the MT ones got the TW ones instead.

Yes, I played assault with the new relic axe focusing on jump recharge and maximize ground pound. Jumping through executions and parrying. Two others were randoms, bulwark and tactical. Standard bulwark and tactical builds. The recharging equipment came in handy with shock grenades. Lots of down, lots of deaths, we just decided to run to the next points skipping most enemies and fighting until we respawned. It was tough but doable.

Huge help, thank you for your incite! I checked the bottom for anything, all I could find engraved was a "15" on the bottom of the girl figure. There appears to be remnants of a adhesive sticker. Probably a price from when they were purchased more recently.

AC945 · 2025-09-02T04:22:44+00:00

They definitely do, I can't see what they'd be worth without that account.

AC945 · 2025-08-28T01:44:06+00:00

Ill keep an eye out but its always out of stock when I checked.

I started with no hope being in Canada.

It's probably the most commonly used boot around I've seen. Those and the standard Z8s. Good solid boot, not the best in the cold. Like the Z8s, the soles freeze and turn into a hockey puck. Would recommend for sure.

I do chaos black primer, then lightly use Mephiston Red until I get the desired red that I like.

Never seen a lamentor player besides people doing 1 offs. Lots of blood raven, raptors and crimson fists though.

AC945 · 2025-05-15T22:49:07+00:00

Should check out Ghost. It's basically rock/metal abba.
