The Owl

Who's played this game yet? It's amazing...not yet finished with the story.. roughly 3/4 the way through.. The game is so massive...the (Skyrim with guns) description.. isnt far off.

around....dont post as much, but still come to the site a couple times a day.

:hail:

I got a ticket for the Coheed/BtBaM show in Austin on March 1st for Christmas!!! Anyone else gonna be at that show?

As much as I love PT, I have to say it seems that PT has become SW's side project.. and his solo career is now his "main gig". I don't think Porcupine Tree is over, nor do I think PT's future is in any jeopardy.. BUT Wilson seems more musically motivated by the stuff he's doing solo right now.... I personally don't mind too much, I am really digging his solo stuff..though I would love a new Porcupine Tree album.

I really wish they'd quit running the whole "Doctor Who" (as a question) in the ground.. It was really cool at the end of the 6th season finale, and kind of got old when they kept doing it during the first half of season 7... but it got annoying on last night's special.

It will be about Clockwork Angels! :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel: It could be! Wilson is a big time RUSH fanatic! :haz: Haha! It wouldn't surprise me at all!! When will Steven Wilson produce a Rush record? He's probably licking his chops! He should have produced CWA, as much as I loved the album CWA sound like you're listening to it through a brick wall.... That would not happen with SW at the helm

I know alot here did not like Benoit David, but I truly did not mind him, and thought he did the best he could... and I still recommend his other band "Mystery" to anyone... he was good, but not really there to step into Anderson's shoes.. From the little I've seen though I say Jon Davison is a major step up though... still not Anderson...but an improvement nonetheless....and I have to recommend his other band "Glass Hammer" as well.

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!

Martin Freeman is owning that role, I agree.

SPOILER WARNING: FOR WHOLE THREAD Well, I just got back from seeing The Hobbit : An Unexpected Journey, and I have to say I really enjoyed the film... Or should the film be titled "The Hobbit:AUJ+ LOTR appendices" ? If you are a Tolkienite there is alot to enjoy.. and the "+Appendicies " is welcome.... and on that. When the Hobbit was decided to be a trilogy I admit the idea kind of confused me, in how they were gonna make a novel not much longer than any one of the LOTR installments into three films of it's own.. I assumed they would be drawing from the LOTR appendices when it was just 2 films, but The Hobbit:AUJ draws heavily from that material as well, and is integrated nicely into the film... doing such does slow the pacing down a bit, especially early on, but it entertaining nonetheless.... That being said, I enjoyed that as someone who has read these novels several times and enjoy seeing the flashbacks of the Dwarf War, Rhadagast the Brown, and the takeover of Erebor...etc was great, but could be construed as flashbacks that slow the pace down to the general filmgoer.... but screw them, I say bring it on! One complaint I did have, and one that many have had is the overuse of CGI, whereas LOTR had mostly practical effects, especially with the Orcs/Goblins, were mostly real stuntmen in costume, The Hobbit is almost exclusively CGI... but for CGI it is top knotch though... Oh and the Riddles in the Dark scene........... PERFECT!

The ceremony is gonna be in LA I think, the museum's in Cleveland.

As happy as I am that Rush is (finally) in, I can help notice and be soured by the usual WTFery of the Hall agin this year... What body in their right mind controlling the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of Fame passes over Deep Purple for Public Enemy! I'm ecstatic for Rush, but my opinion of the Hall itself has not changed.. As far as Im concerned the governing body there can (fittingly) .... BURN!

I am if course glad Rush got in (finally), but still cannot fail to notice that Deep Purple was passed over and Public Enemy gets in.... What a f***ing joke.

This is probably my song of the year

Rush- Clockwork Angels Joe Bonamassa- Driving Towards the Daylight Flying Colors - Flying Colors Astra - The Black Chord Anathema - Weather Systems

Happy Repeal Day!!

Getting close to season 3.... HBO just released a small "In Production" featurette for season 3!!!! I watched it, some minor spoilers...but nothing more than you would get with a trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yj0e0r_yLI I envy alot of you... "A Storm of Swords" is the best novel in the series and Season 3 is going to start adapting that material, this season (as well as season 4, which will cover the last 3rd or so of A Storm of Swords) is going to be remarkable.

The intro and outro were alright, missed the intro going into the second set, Just made it back to my seat when the music came back... (T-shirt line was long)

I know we've been posting our individual photos and videos in individual threads here in the tour subforum, but I have not seen a collabrative thread where we can all share what we've captured personally at our individual shows..so here's the place to do so. This should serve as a good record of the CWA tour now that the NA leg is just about over Share the Photos and videos YOU have captured along the tour.. do preface which show you attended though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From The show last night I attended San Antonio Tx, 11/30/12) (AT&T Center) First the Two videos I took ...

I can't be the only person who thinks they should take the momentum off a well received album, a major tour where they are selling out arenas more often than not, and are likely to be inducted into the hall of fame, and head back into the studio?

I guess it's lucky that my iPhone has a better picture quality than my point-and-shoot then
