  1. Did either of you see Mastadon and Opeth a couple years back? I missed it... still kicking myself... if I had to choose only one metal band to listen to the rest of my life, it would be Opeth... and it's not even close.

    I saw that Mastodon / Opeth show. Went mainly for Mastodon, I own a couple Opeth albums but wouldn't call myself a fan.

    Mastodon was good as always, but Opeth blew me away. They were touring their super mellow Heritage album so I was expecting a lot of people in the crowd to be yelling at them to play their older, heavy ****. But the dude had the crowd spellbound with the beautiful and haunting new material, cranking up the tension and expectation ... and then, towards the end of the show when he did get around to playing some old favorites, the place went absolutely bananas. One of the best metal shows I've ever seen. Hell, one of the best shows period.

    Still not a fan of Opeth's recordings, for some reason they don't satisfy, but I'd definitely go see them live again.

  2. Thinking of upgrading to a PS4 or XBox one over the holidays. I'm mulling which way I want to go.

     

    What games are you looking foward to?

     

    Asking because I haven't yet seen any compelling reasons to upgrade to a next generation console.  Seems like the games just aren't there yet, it's just more of the same, albeit prettier.

  3. Who plays video games?  What are you playing?

     

    I just got a PS3 and am working through all the best games from that console.  Have played through God of War 3 (incredible), Killzone 3 (just another shooter, albeit a pretty one), and am just starting the Uncharted series.

     

    My absolute favourite thing of the last console generation was the Mass Effect series.  Have played the whole series through twice, will probably play it again soon.

     

    Don't play online much, I'm mostly a single-player game guy.
