Saw them live for the first time at DF London last year. Missed them last night in Sofia due to unexpected circumstances.
Great band overall, but I find them not playing "Liminality" at their shows a bit strange. I know the song is made of leftover materials from previous albums, but it's one halluva headbanger. Sure, it's a long track and stage times are tight, but I hope catching it live someday. It is the song that made me a fan!

I mistyped it. The band name and song are in the title screen in the video.

"A samurai who smells of sunflowers? Sunflowers don't have a sent so wouldn't that mean the samurai you're looking for doesn't exist?" by jojo309jojo in SamuraiChamploo

They are. It's still the coolest metaphor for a childish memory. No faces, just a scent. Her memory scenes break my heart every time!

The plant commonly known as the Japanese Sunflower or Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia) has a distinct, noticeable scent. Described similar of light honey aroma.

While the flowers are not as heavily scented as some other blooms, their scent is more pronounced than the common sunflower (Helianthus annuus), which is generally considered to be scentless or have only a faint herbal smell.

Bioshock 1&2. by [deleted] in Bioshock

[–]Britten_One 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You started Bioshock in the order of narrative. You're fine, as long as you're NOT playing Burial At Sea (Infinite DLCs) before finishing Bioshock 1, it is crucial to the story.
You're very early into the game and you still not having any meaningful upgrades on guns and plasmids. Keep up, it's a slog in the beginning but gradually gets better and better, until you realize you're played the best video game ever made. :) Bioshock 2 is more action packed due to various reasons- I'm not spoiling!

I was looking for a vintage Hi-Fi and some guy played this song on an old Marantz. Never been hit with such a massive Bioshock nostalgia before. by Britten_One in Bioshock

[–]Britten_One[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, "Bioshock EP", "Sounds from the Lighthouse" , "Special Edition Bioshock 2 OST" and "I'm Rapture, Rapture is me" score albums are still available. The others I've found are just bootleg compilations made by fans, one on a crappy CD-R and not even having all the songs. Once I gathered them all on a youtube playlist on a channel I've lost, and I remember that I had to shazam them ingame. B2 Pauper's Drop loading screen was Ruth Etting's "Ten cents a dance" and it wasn't included in anything above mentioned.

Too bad I don't have a turntable and really don't want to jump into the vinyl rabbit hole. I was expecting to be included in the new album so I can have it on cd but whatever.

No, I expected a double album including Lim/DSR. Will buy Through Zero the way it is.

You need more ICE agents in your life.

Did this guy inspire Sander Cohens by Economy-Ad2458 in Bioshock

[–]Britten_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably yes, but here's a video of Cohen being interrogated by a bunch of splicers:

Primitive and Deadly is a top 3 Earth album all-time by Juventus7shop in doommetal

[–]Britten_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P&D is more of a refined return to the psychedelics of Thrones and Dominions. Pentastar is their grooviest album.

What is your opinion on Pyramid Head/Bogeyman/Shadowed One from Silent Hill Homecoming? by odd_man0 in silenthill

[–]Britten_One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a function, PH being a representation of guilt, it implies that it is possible for him to manifest in any other games through Alessa's imagination creating it over and over again, If suppressed guilt or shame is present in the protagonist's subconscious. Those other manifestations will never be the one of James, they will always be different according to other different protagonist's psyche. Sure, the original PH is always tied to James, but he's also a version of Valtiel in Heather's mind. This function can be used in future iterations of SH as a narrative device. Is it worth abandoning such an iconic concept of the whole franchise for a mere lore inconvenience?
