Nowadays people are more interested in technology , gadgets over religion . Young generation hardly interested in religion nowadays , they more interested in mobile texting , ipod tunes , and computers ( gaming , internet ) . Include fast cars .

Is it good or bad OT ?

P.S

I care as i'm a religious person myself .

I'd say bad. It's sad to see that people have moved so far away from belief and religion just because of the corruption in the institutions. I'm a Christian because of the beliefs involved, not because of loyalty to a church. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy going to church, but I always saw belief (in the Christian sense) as a relationship with God, which I believe can only do good, while the faulty people within the institutions are one of the causes of making people move away from it (such as Westboro Baptist Church and all of the Catholic Church shenanigans).

Just because no one else has said it yet... The Library from Halo: Combat Evolved. It's okay at first, but on harder settings is too tough, too boring looking, and wayyy too repetitive to stay interesting for long.

Advent Rising's many technical hitches and KOTOR 2's "non-ending" are close runner ups.

Paramore!!

Haha, so yeah:

1) Halo 2 (XBOX) I just love co-op mode!

2) Advent Rising (XBOX) Very underrated game, great story, inventive controls, and possibly the best game soundtrack ever!

3) Star Wars: KOTOR (XBOX) Reminds me of Mass Effect, I love the story and thr moral choices!

4) Morrowind (XBOX) 250 hours and counting...

5) StarCraft 64 (N64) I don't even know how many hours I spent playing split screen with my brother in 2v6 comp matches. Played this so much more than StarCraft PC!

6) Conker: Live and Reloaded/Bad Fur Day (XBOX/N64) Love this game, never fails to make me laugh!

7) Pokemon Yellow (GBC) Haven't bought a game past Gold version yet, but Yellow was the first game I ever bought... And I still find myself reseting and replaying it when I beat it!

8) Mario Kart 64 (N64) Battle mode is still played in my dorm room to this day, and I still enjoy it! Block Fort all the way :)

9) Perfect Dark (N64/XBLA) Been playing it for the first time on XBLA, and it's still quite fun! Very dated by today's standards, but fast and furious!

10) Super Smash Bros. (N64) I still like playing this game more than the newer entries, still furious but much more reasonably paced!

This band is pretty dang deep for a metal band. I highly recommend them to anybody!

Foolz3h

If you surgest that metal in general aren't deep, than I must disagree with you. Metal is much deeper than genres such as pop, rock, hip hop, r&b etc, etc, etc. And as the others have mentioned, I think this topic should be prouf of that.

I do agree with you. I was just saying that from the metal bands Ive heard (slipknot, soilwork, etc.) they usually seem to have lyrics that are depressing, violent or both. Some bands like ATR and killswitch engage are very thoughtful, and metal is much deeper than rap, r&b and pop.I didnt mean to insult a whole genre, so sry bout that. My bad :P

Metal is my favorite genre anyway.

But the highlighted insults a few. :P

Very truefoolz3h, very true ;) But I dont mind insulting those genres because I hate them (no offense). Sixpence none the richer is the only pop stuff I really like atm. I dont like any r&b or rap (unless you count POD as rap).

...and this is Do Not Obey from the same band.

Never one to be held back or held down
I'd write my name so the king could see
I will follow the true declaration
And find some hope in what mankind could be

I've worked so hard
Let my deeds be my witness
And let my words flow through everyone
When free men stand
Against what would bind them
No hope for tyrants
We will over come

Do not obey
No masters now
Do not obey
Not subjects
We have held on for so long
Do not obey

Talking heads tell the masses the story
They shape the lie in the schools and the TV
Our fathers work and intent is unwritten
By the lazy who don't know they're free

I hear the story and it makes me determined
To spread the word that we can't just lay down
What we read and we see drawn before us
Is a lie and we must hold our ground

It's found in you
It's found in me
From birth to stone
We remain free as always

This band is pretty dang deep for a metal band. I highly recommend them to anybody!

These lyrics are from a song called Undone by All That Remains, my all-time favorite band!

Well hot d***!!

It's hard to tame the passion
That leads me here
No better choice no stronger voice
I'll sacrifice not fear

I've pushed through hesitation
I've seen through doubt
I'm better now within her eyes
Than I'll ever be without

We can push through
We are one in this
We are not undone

I know my limitations
I've learned from life
This great reward I'm honor bound
Not sacrifice not price

I've found my inspiration
Held in both hands
I'm fully whole in trust and care
I'm stronger

[QUOTE="waZelda"]Personally, I don't watch many movies and sadly I have watched none of those.Foolz3h

Same here. :P I heard about the Sixth Sense, and have seen parts of it, but I never sat down to watch it all the way through.

I also never knew this guy was a writer. Can someone give a poor fellow some info on any of his books?

Whoops, my bad :P I forgot to mention that he wrote the scripts for the movies, not actually writing books :? Sry bout that.

I thought The Lady in the Water was based on a children's book he wrote?

I should have known not to believe American morning shows!

I dont think he wrote it as a book, but Lady in the Water waws a story he made up and told his children. But he kept revising over time and ended up with the plot in the movie. I agree that it was nowhere near as good as his other movies, which are in a totally different league. But what I admired about the movie, and Shyamalan, is how Lady in the water still had very deep messages and themes that give you something to think about as you watch the movie. When a somewhat poor movie still can give you something deep and thought provoking while you watch it, thats a sign of talent.

Even still, if you watch one movie from M Night, dont choose Lady In The Water unless you have to. Its deep, but The sixth Sense and Signs are exponentially more well done and entertaining than that movie.

I fall in with the most recent crowd in not having seen any of the mentioned movies, lol. I certainly heard about Signs and the Sixth Sense, but I've never really been a suspense/horror fan; I'm always more fantasy/adventure/sci-fi. But in regards to "hero movies" (you mentioned Fantastic Four in your post, which, I agree, wasn't very good) I've been hard pressed to think of any that bested the Dark Knight. While I prefer Iron Man as a hero to Batman, The Dark Knight really was a masterpiece.EndlessGame

Agreed :) Iron Man is tied with Unbreakable for second place as best superhero movie, but The Dark Knight wins by a hair. That movie really is a masterpiece.

If you like hero movies, you should give Unbreakable a try. Its much slower than other superhero mmovies, but its a lot deeper than most movies as well. The basic plot (only the beginning since i dont want to spoil the movie):

The main character is David Dunn, a security guard who works at a football stadium. On a train ride, the train derails and kills everyone inside, except David. He becomes the only survivor of the other 300+ passengers and he returns home to his wife and son. He has been very distant with his wife for a while now, and she feels that his survival is no coincidence and that they ccould start over and try to work on their relationship together.

Meanwhile, David receives a note under the hood of his car from a man named Elijah Price. He is theowner of a comic book artwork store who believes that Davids survival was no coincidence as well. Except he believes that Daivd survived due to superhuman strength. He is intent on having David develop his abilities, but David is reluctant and tries to avoid Elijah. But as the movie advances, David begins to wonder if Elijah really is telling the truth.

I could put in more, but its a movie you really should see for yourself. Even if you find you dislike it, you've got to admire Shyamalan for his originality.

Unbreakable was alright; I didn't mind it, but it wasn't for me. The Village is on my list to view, so I suppose I can't judge. :P

I understand your view on Unbreakable. everyone I know hates it for being slow paced and lacking on action, and they're right, but I enjoy it simply for its atmosphere and being much different than the traditional superhero film.

I personally love The Village, but the twist may or may not be enjoyable to you. I thought it was cool, but once you know the twist, the film loses a lot of its magic and atmosphere. I guarantee you'll love the movie after you see it the first time, but you might hate it quite a bit the second time around. I stil think its pretty cool though.
