Some Old Some New Influences
on November 26, 2015
Posted by: musicmaniax
from NJ
It's definitely worth getting the deluxe edition as "I Apologize" is one of my favorite tracks..plus you get a free t-shirt (code which you use to order online, s+h is extra). This album is definitely a step in the right direction for the band as I feel the last couple releases sounded a bit more complacent. I like the fact that they are shaking it up a bit more, adding some flavor from "The Way Of The Fist" but still keeping a lighter side and showcasing Ivan Moody's amazing vocal talents. Interested to hear where they go from here.

Ethnocentrism - What Dooms Us All
on November 26, 2015
Posted by: musicmaniax
from NJ
Cannibal Holocaust is one of the most controversial films ever made. To truly understand it, you need to look at it from an anthropological point of view. In order to do that, you need to at least understand the meaning of ETHNOCENTRISM.
ethnocentrism eth·no·cen·trism (ěth'nō-sěn'trĭz'əm)
noun
The tendency to evaluate other groups according to the values and standards of one's own ethnic group, especially with the conviction that one's own ethnic group is superior to the other groups.
For those that have not seen the film. I am not going to spoil anything, but this definition...this very meaning, is so very key.
Yes, Cannibal Holocaust has extremely violent and brutal scenes, including the animal violence that so many refer to. It is certainly not an easy watch, or easy to sit through...at all. Then again, it is not intended to be. Cannibal Holocaust was created to make a point. It was filmed to shed light on a dark, ugly part of our society that us as a people do not like nor want to see. All the gore and ferociousness behind Cannibal Holocaust is there for that purpose. We are not meant to enjoy it, at least I hope you are not enjoying it. It is not meant to make us smile and go, "yeah, I want to see more of that!" It is meant to disgust us, heighten those senses, just as the story it tells does.
Everybody has different beliefs, and to them, that is how the world and life itself works. To them, they may know nothing else, and even if they do, their culture sometimes helps define who they are and how they see the rest of the world. With that in mind, Cannibal Holocaust portrays that if we judge harshly onto others, how extremely we are judged back. The brilliance behind Cannibal Holocaust is not just the message or bringing ethnocentrism to the general public, it's also that it shows how cyclical it all really is. Does it ever stop? It begs the question: why do we keep going forward with something even if we ourselves know how amoral or immoral it may be? You've heard this phrase before: History repeats itself.
This is probably one of the best films ever made for fans of horror flicks, but Cannibal Holocaust broke a major genre boundary: It managed to teach those willing to listen.
Cannibal Holocaust is well worth the price of admission for those who dare.

Got a laptop has a gift for a family member. They did not want a bulky-type case for it and they claimed that this fit it perfectly and was more in tune with their needs. My family member has taken it on planes and put it in suitcases with no damage whatsoever to the laptop.

Los Santos: a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities, once the envy of the Western world, now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV. Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score. Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious game Rockstar Games has yet created and takes full advantage of every ounce of processing power available in the current generation of consoles. In order to provide the best possible experience for such a massive and detailed world, the game will have installation requirements on the PlayStation 3 system. Grand Theft Auto V ships on one disc and will install content as soon as you insert the game. The install is roughly 8GB, and players will be able to play as soon as the install is complete.

GTA V is thus far the pinnacle of the series.

GTA V is definitely the best game thus far in the GTA series. If you enjoyed IV or any other of the iterations of the game, there's no reason you would not want to play V. So far it is the most open, giving you the most freedom of all the games. It also has an interesting way of telling its story by giving you the perspective of three different characters from different walks of life.
The only downside is I feel that letting you skip parts and the default auto-aim features "hold your hand" a bit while completing the game.

Can't been this sound, especially for the price!

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Sennheiser HD428s are definitely headphones to be reckoned with. As a music engineer or just music enthusiast, you can not match the sound quality, especially for the price. Great balance, great sound, comfortable feel. If you like over the ear types, there's are the ones to go with that rival the sound quality of $200+ headphones.
