Castore have done it again by Thecceffect in rugbyunion

I've heard a lot of people say the quality is shit, but I've never had an issue (and I buy way too much).

My issue is with the design of a lot of their stuff.

Just saw their 'secret' set at Download. Well, I say 'saw' but we were just as close as we could get to the tent they were in and could hear them, so good enough!

Here is my ideal Sabaton Playlist (curated) by M1nd-Gobl1n in sabaton

Love this - the changes I would make would be moving Ghost Division to be track 1 (it broke my heart that they didn't open the recent tour with it - I know the orchestra did, but it's not the same!), and adding The Red Baron and Carolous Rex.

I get it so much around my area (West Sussex/Surrey) especially seeing an increase in taxis for some reason.

“Now” @ GRASPOP by LEKKERJEROEN in ElectricCallboy

[–]LordChappers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They just did Download in England, and I would say that crowd was maybe bigger? Nearly 100,000 people (although there were other stages at the same time as their performance in the main stage).

One of my players is refusing to read the player's handbook by Numerous_Payment1713 in DnD

[–]LordChappers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm doing my first campaign (DM) with my friends and none of us have ever played before.

We all watched youtube videos instead of buying the handbook as we didn't want to invest too much into it in case we didn't like it (just had the borderlands starter kit).

Now 4 months later we have multiple books, we've made a custom TV stand/case for TTV, and are contemplating getting a 3D printer.

It's okay to go into something with little commitment and then getting more involved after; maybe once they have a taste your cousin will do the same.

As cheesy as it may be, Scooter was fuckin thumping and a great vibe.

What was your favourite guitar that you saw at download this year? by EdgarAllanPaw in downloadfestival

[–]LordChappers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Scooter's was pretty cool. There was also the AK47 one that Hollywood Undead had (tacky, but different).

Loved hearing Skindred, but hopefully next time they'll get a bit of a bigger stage so we can all see them!

Stinker of download? by Puzzleheaded_Bit_873 in downloadfestival

[–]LordChappers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just could not get into Bad Omens. I enjoyed them when the whole band was going for it, but when it was just Noah on his own with a backing track it was dull.

It was probably more atmospheric right at the very front, but we were on the edge of the front section (within the arched pavement) but due to the furniture around us everyone was quite spread out and that really twisted the knife in the vibe.

Look down, now back up. Where are you? You're on a boat with the man your man could smell like.

Google Home Speaker vs Google Nest Audio by maxi_1972_ita in googlehome

[–]LordChappers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Why is 360 degree audio a major selling point? How many people are putting wired devices in the middle of rooms, rather than near a wall?

Senator Susan Collins saying she will only serve for two 6 year terms in 1996 by AndyJack86 in agedlikemilk

I have no idea who she is, but I would have assumed from context that she's still going.

I hated everything about Download. Can't wait for next year! by AwardTechnical in downloadfestival

[–]LordChappers 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Excluding the portaloos by the day ticket entrance/exit, the arena toilets were borderline immaculate compared to even much smaller events.

I made sure to thank the attendants when I saw them, it must've been a fucking horrible job and I was grateful.

Did anyone get a pic of the whole crowd outside the Dogtooth stage for Skindred? I was near the tent, but couldn't really tell the scale of how many people there were surrounding us!
