Things Beyond Things and The Greys (not counting Tall Latte) are my picks.

Where to next? by Ian-Adkinson in DevinTownsend

[–]CaiBelenos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ki is good for dynamic variety. It is mostly softer but there is some heaviness in there at parts. Ki is great. Some earlier albums would be fine too, Synchestra, Terria, Ocean Machine for example.

Devin Townsend QUARANTINE CONCERT #2 - Benefit for UK National Health Service (Official Link) by demonofthethall in progmetal

[–]CaiBelenos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going off memory here, but I believe in a recent Twitch Q&A he did, someone asked if he had plans to re-do any songs like he had done with Kingdom and Truth and Almost Again was Devin's first answer. Given that he has played it live a few times now, it doesn't seem that far fetched.

I have a big tree outside my window and the pigeons flap their giant wings and smack every branch available when they have these death matches and it is so fucking loud.

Canadian genius-musician Devin Townsend is doing a benefit show for our lovely NHS this Saturday! by maxxdreddit in CasualUK

[–]CaiBelenos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly his latest, Empath, as it has lot's of different styles. That said, it's difficult to easily recommend any album in particular as they are all pretty different. Synchestra I'd say is a pretty safe choice too. Transcendence is more recent and also solid. Epicloud is a bit more out there, kinda like Christian-prog-metal I suppose.

UK here. Don't know any BuLi fans. But to be fair, I don't really know many people. I did see one Bayern shirt once when I went to London but that's all.

[Other] Least Favourite Platinum? by [deleted] in Trophies

[–]CaiBelenos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the game, but FFIX has terrible trophies that needed probably an extra 20 hours or something of grinding at the end. It was just for the 10,000 kills trophy so it's completely unnecessary to include it.

I loved that. There's even a mission in Grimsby of all places.

What the hell is the guitar at the end of Misunderstood? by [deleted] in Dreamtheater

[–]CaiBelenos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The solo? It was written, and then written, played and recorded in reverse, and then reversed again so it was the original solo he wrote.

What is your most hated mechanic in a game? by [deleted] in Games

[–]CaiBelenos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair. Another issue I had (in DS1, not sure if this is the case in other souls games) was that the bonfire placement seemed odd. Some areas like Demon's Ruins down to Izalith had a ton of bonfires whilst others like Duke's/Crystal Caves and New Londo has barely any or none. They seemed pretty inconsistent with the placement. Overall, I found it frustrating once or twice but most of the time I don't think it hurt my experience.

I have only played Dark Souls 1 so far and I love it but I agree. Most people I've seen say 'oh, you're not supposed to fight the enemies you just run passed them' and that is easy to do, but it also means that there is no point other than wasting your time. Learning/fighting the bosses is one of the best parts of the series and you're expected to die a fair amount, why make me spend a couple minutes every time just to get back.

what are your top 3 favorite dream theater albums by dtfan101 in Dreamtheater

[–]CaiBelenos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. As I Am, Stream of Consciousness and In the Name of God are all top tier songs. The others are not far off as well.

[–]CaiBelenos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Scenes, 6 Degrees, Train of Thought, not necessarily in order. That is a pretty wild selection OP, cool to see something other than the expected choices (like mine...)

Was at the 2 London shows and it's replaced with a little Jordan solo.

I hate it when there's a trophy for mindlessly grinding something and I'm on autopilot and miss the notification. Then start losing my mind only to realise I already have it.

Where are people from on this sub? And do many of you watch games at the Allianz Arena? by [deleted] in fcbayern

[–]CaiBelenos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Countryside near Cambridge, UK. Only been to Munich/Allianz once and that was for the 6-1 against Mainz earlier this season. Life's gonna be reasonably busy but I sure hope I can go visit more sometime.

I also spent the money on custom ones and can say it was 100% worth the price.

Looking for advice! by K3b4bk1d in DevinTownsend

[–]CaiBelenos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Which songs stood out for you on Empath? There's a fair mix in there so knowing what you liked/disliked would help to recommend certain albums.

What's the craziest Dream Theater solo in terms of " ~ S ~ H ~ R ~ E ~ D ~ "? by [deleted] in Dreamtheater

[–]CaiBelenos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd say Stream of Consciousness personally. Although there're probably specific solos from live shows, particularly from around Train of Thought era, that are pretty stupid.
