    S4 League

    Station 1 has the same problem. Both of them are fun maps with small rooms. 6 is ideal for Station 1, 8 for Station 2. Too much more than that, on the other hand, and they get too crowded with people using the cheapest tricks to score.

    My computer hates Highway. I can't get a good framerate on it. On most maps, I get about 30-36 FPS, on highway, I get about 20-24.

    Xaris3514, I'm usually in English/Speed/Free. I tend to get more even matches there that aren't 5-1 Touchdown matches with allies that don't know what defense means.

    S4 League

    http://s4.en.alaplaya.eu/

    Here's the gist of things. Fast paced team based shooter similar to a hybrid of GunZ (minus blatant hacking and "advandced" techniques that consist entirely of glitch abuse) and Team Fortress 2. The only problems are that people have a tendency to lag spike (AKA, forcing yourself to lag to make it hard for people to kill you, people make it obvious if you watch their ping) and, for those who are in the States or Canada, most players are in Europe.

    Surprisingly good game for freeware. Anyone who wants to play, I can set up a room sometime as it beats playing against random lagging mooks.

    I grew up on Mario and Sonic games for the NES, SNES and Genesis. The first system that I gave a ridiculous amount of time to, though, was the Gameboy (Pocket) with Pokemon, a series I still play to this day (I believe I got my copy of Pokemon Red in late 98 or early 99, so that's about 10 years of being a fan of the same series.) Since then, I've had the Gameboy Color, Playstation, PS2, Gameboy Advance, GBA SP, Gamecube, XBox, DS, Wii, PSP and XBox 360 with plans to eventually get a PS3.

    The final boss of Megaman X. The rest of the game is relatively easy, but I have yet to defeat Sigma after all these years.

    It sounds just like any other generic pop punk voice.

    As for the band themselves, put the word "quality" at the end of their name and they describe themselves.

    I've heard metalcore songs that don't use screams. Vocal style isn't what makes a band completely. There are death metal bands such as In Flames and Between the Buried and Me that have been known to use clean vocals as well as death vocals and power metal (a genre that generally avoids death vocals) that uses death vocals. Nor is screaming an element only found in metalcore. 3 Inches of Blood, a power/thrash band uses a combination of high pitched "clean" vocals and screams for vocals. Because of this, some people have mistakenly called them metalcore when thrash metal and power metal are much better descriptions of their sound.

    As for a metalcore band being referred to as alternative, well, nu-metal and alternative metal bands such as KoRn (bleh) and System of a Down have used elements that metalcore thrives on long before metalcore gained the popularity it has. Of course, I could be dead wrong here because, as exemplified by 3 Inches of Blood, people mistake genres all the time.

    And here we have the million dollar answer. Thank you. I wholly agree.

    Yes, but the way I interpreted your post suggested it. However, I never said metalcore isn't metal. In fact, it is and it would stupid of anyone to try to claim otherwise. It is also a fusion of metal and hardcore punk. All the "core" sub-genres are this way, whether its metalcore, grindcore or deathcore.

    I personally dislike the vast majority of metalcore, but that's just me.

    However, this post is suggesting that calm music isn't metal. While metal is usually pretty turbulent, many power, progressive and neo-classical metal bands can get pretty calm.

    Neither Bullet for My Valentine or Underoath are death metal. Quite the contrary, the more violent and extreme death metal fans would literally beat you for associating metalcore bands with death metal. I personally think that's an immature and counterproductive solution, but then, I'm not an excessively violent person. I do have to point out that you are mistaken on calling metalcore bands death metal, though.

    From early bands such Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden to modern bands such as Black Label Society and Iced Earth, and from early innovating musicians such as Tony Iommi and Geddy Lee to modern masters such as Yngwie Malmsteen, metal is a huge and very important genre, so lets all gather together and throw up the horns to appreciate and talk about an important piece of musical history.

    To start, what form of metal do you folks think better represents metal as a whole? The light, speedy power metal with bands such as Blind Guardian and Kamelot, the thinking man's progressive metal with Dream Theater and Symphony X, the heavy, often imposing death metal with Amon Amarth and Job for a Cowboy, or something other than what I present here? Come on folks, there is no wrong answer here.

    They are meh. I can tolerate them, but really, they're just like any other metalcore band out there.

    OK, first, you don't have to put lines between each sentence. Second, play Ninja Gaiden, THEN try to say that Smash is the hardest game you've ever played.

    OK, A on the Wiimote alone, Z on the Nunchuck (My prefered controls) and L or R on the Gamecube or Classic controllers.

    When you're in Guitar Hero, you're not "up and coming." As for the band themselves, I really dislike metalcore, especially when it gets into the generic screamo territory that Underoath and Bullet for My Valentine are in. Why people eat them up is beyond me when they don't even do anything note-worthy.

    While the banning was unecessary and her harrassers should have been banned instead, it would have been a non issue if she wasn't blatantly advertising her orientation.

    I've said this before, but there is no such genre as "j-pop." Just because its Japanese doesn't mean its a different genre. Its like calling a British rock band "b-rock." Stylisticly, there is no major difference.
