14:59 - BoxCar Willy I don't have anything to play the first two fallouts with. Nor can I find them anywhere.
14:52 - Seafood The fallout discussion still going? Saw it here like 15hours ago :D
14:40 - .starrk @scapeplan, BoxCar implied that he was/has played 3 and New Vegas, so there was no need to ask about them. No need to get your panties in a bunch
13:53 - scapeplan >IMPLYING THAT THERE ARE ONLY TWO FALLOUT GAMES. Pffft. Freaking casuals.
12:48 - Zaphod People were looking for closure, not a happy ending. Also, the ending was absolutely terrible though they did fix a good deal of it with the extended cut.
09:39 - Jaeryd17 Are you kidding? I loved the ending to Mass Effect 3. I think everyone was just looking for a happy ending and threw a toddler-fit because they didn't get it. Also, Boxcar, have you played Fallout 1 or 2 yet?

The Wretch, the new album from US doom metal band The Gates Of Slumber, will be released on May 10th through Rise Above Records/Metal Blade.
One of the new songs on the album, called "Coven of Cain", has been made available for streaming exclusively at Decibel Magazine.
Recorded during the cold British winter of 2010 at London's Orgone Studios and produced by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Angel Witch), The Wretch sees The Gates Of Slumber pushing its trademark blend of skull-crushing riffs and pounding rhythms to new heights and marks a return to the slower all-out doom tempos of the group's early albums combined with "true doom metal" lyrical themes.
Commented frontman and founding member Karl Simon: "This record is frustration and disappointment put to music. No heroics this time, no swords; no sorcery. No fantasy. That stuff is OK; it's fun... whatever, but we don't feel it these days. This one is all about others let you down almost as much as you let yourself down. It might not make sense to you, but then you probably only have the last two records as a digital download. That, or your world is summed up by someone else's soundbite."

Two of doom metal's most acclaimed acts will team up for a two week U.S. tour this winter as the legendary Pentagram joins forces with celebrated "True Heavy Metal" band The Gates Of Slumber. The 11 city tour will launch on January 15, 2010 in Springfield, VA.
The pairing of Pentagram and The Gates Of Slumber aligns 2 generations of doom metal majesty and will undoubtedly be a tremendous treat for both long time loyalists and wide-eyed newcomers alike. Formed in 1971, Pentagram has a long and storied history that continues to play out almost 40 years later. Let by wildly charismatic vocalist Bobby Liebling, the band has forged an indelible mark in the "Heavy Metal Rock and Roll" pantheon and continues to influence scores of modern day acts. The Gates Of Slumber has emerged as one of modern day metal's most critically acclaimed bands whose decidedly throwback sound both pays homage to and builds upon "Heavy Metal" in its truest form. The band has been hailed as "a breath of fresh air within the doom/true metal underground" and its latest studio album Hymns of Blood & Thunder (Rise Above) is in stores now.
Below you can watch a video for The Gates Of Slumber's "Ice Worm". The clip was created by Doggysmile Pictures (known from "Heavy Metal Zombies" and "Metal Man"), and directed, shot and edited by Martin Piwek. The video features images from this year's Keep It True festival.

The Gates Of Slumber has completed work on its new studio album, "Hymns Of Blood & Thunder". The album is slated to drop in North America on September 13, 2009 via Rise Above Records.
The band's hotly anticipated new album, "Hymns of Blood & Thunder", drops on the heels of the brightest and busiest year in the respected power trio's history; one that saw The Gates Of Slumber pack clubs during its first U.S. headlining tour and land atop many year-end media polls with "Conqueror", an album that was hailed as "a breath of fresh air within the doom/true metal underground." The record placed at the #5 position in Decibel's "Top 40 Albums of 2008" and made Village Voice Media's "Top 10 Metal Albums of 2008", joining an impressive list of some of the genre's finest including AC/DC, Judas Priest and Metallica.
The Gates Of Slumber will be going on a month long U.S. tour in support of the epic "Conqueror" release (and following the success of their "Trapped In The Web" video, a video in which people are finally giving props to MTV for actually playing true metal for once) with comrades Demiricous on what is being dubbed as the Conquest Of Poverty Tour. The tour flyer can be found here. Sponsored by Metal Maniacs, the trio will be hitting up pretty much the major markets within the U.S. on this pillage in the name of Crom through the mire of a crippled economy. So support true metal. The routing goes as follows:
11/9/08 Denver, CO @ Funhouse
11/10/08 Boise, ID @ The Gusto Bar w/ Cast Into Eternity (ex-Arsis)
