Yes. I listened to them. Kinda like them, too. :D
I love She Wants Revenge... somehow, though... I think that the bands that they take their cues from are better. ;)

Second... is The Dark Tower awesome or what? :D

Yeah, Dark Tower is awesome.

Alright, alright. Not trying to come down hard, just fooling around with ya. :lol:

And... yeah. I finally started the Dark Tower series today and... wow. I love it. :shock:

Also... best Stephen King book? I'm not talking favorites so much as quality writing. Like. Which King novel would you consider is the best in terms of writing?

That's easy, actually. Either The Shining or Hearts in Atlantis.

Besides Demon Hunter and Underoath, are there any other Christian metal bands you can recommend?

I going to buy quite a few albums pretty soon, so I want a few people's opinions.

The man swallows the explosion, then stretches his arm the fifteen feet to grab you by your shirt, jerking you forward he pulls your ear close to his mouth. "Don't try and kill me you fool! Put the Lime in the coconut and shake it all together!" Then he lets go, and disappears in Obi-wan-esque fashion. Leaving you sitting on the floor. The party obviously over, you stand up and walk out the door, but you notice your pocket is heavy. You reach inside and find your knife, and something else: a shiny black object, with a big red button on it. Unintelligible words are written over the front of the device.

What do you do?

I'll give you the name of a band along with the name of the album that I know or is their most solid.

Haste the Day--"When Everything Falls"
He Is Legend (they aren't all Christians, but they are signed to Solid State, so...)--"I Am Hollywood"
Norma Jean--"The Anti Mother," "Redeemer," "O God, The Aftermath"
Becoming the Archetype--"Dichotomy"
The Chariot--"Everything Is Alive, Everything Is Breathing, Nothing Is Dead, and Nothing Is Bleeding," "The Fiancee"
Zao--"Liberate Te Ex Inferis," "The Funeral of God," "The Fear is What Keeps Us Here"
Inhale/Exhale--"I Swear"
The Devil Wears Prada--"Plagues"
Oh, Sleeper--"When I Am God"
Embodyment--"Hold Your Breath"
The Famine--"The Raven and The Reaping"

That enough for ya? ;) Of those, Zao is probably my favorite (and yeah, they have an album called "The Funeral of God"; I promise, they're Christian. That's a concept album about God disappearing because humanity doesn't listen anymore). The Famine I just heard about... they're... Christian death metal, of all things.

You really like doing these to me, don't you?

I would assume that the words are actually the numbers from Lost, and I would press the button, sure at that point that something either amazing or frightening or deadly or all three would happen. And it totally would.

I've been recalling those old books that you played through, recently. You know, create a character, pick some random items, then go through the quest picking different choices then flipping to different pages based upon them. Ever happen to get your hands on one? :D

Upon pressing the button, you find yourself in a world bright and colorful. Trees are blue, grass is red. You realize your pants are gone, replaced by the dress the strange man had been wearing. A floating green light appears in front of you and you realize it wants you to follow. It heads down a path that is dark and spooky, yet to your right is a paved road. What do you do?

Yeah that's plenty... thank you. :wink:

Also, I kinda figure that "The Funeral of God" was referring to the world basically forgetting about God, so...

I don't if somebody's asked this or not... but anyway, what's your favorite genre of music?

Yeah, I had one or two when I was a kid.

Well, of course I follow the light.

Yes... The Famine is Christian death metal. And yeah, go buy their album. It's nothing spectacular, mind you, but it's pretty solid.

My favorite genre of music is probably indie rock. That's pretty all-encompassing, though, so it's probably close to the new wave of new wave, post-punk, synth-pop and late-80s/early-90s alt rock, followed by grunge and then prog-metal/prog-rock.

The light leads you down the path, which is getting darker by the moment. You find yourself squishing through something smelly, the light turns out to be a lure on the head of a horrible cave monster, and you've just walked down its throat.

Flip back to page 2 and start again?

Think strongly about throwing the book down... then flip back to page 2.

Drat. >_< That brings back memories where I had to repeat the same paths over and over for like eight times.

Also, would you give me some advice on how to write reviews?

I go down the paved road.

And... yes, I can give you advice... but I'd rather do it through PM with a piece of your work to work with. If that makes sense.
