16:33 - !J.O.O.E.! I don't think any FPS had topped HL2 for me.
15:52 - Lit. @ANGEL I am obligated to agree. About Half-Life ruling, I mean. Half Life 2 to this day remains one of the best games I've ever played.
15:32 - ANGEL REAPER HALF LIFE RULES! now in other news "I am the god of tits and wine" :D
15:21 - Zaphod Fallout 1 and 2 were pretty good though
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

Songs For Singles, the latest from Sludgesters Torche blows by in nearly the blink of an eye... Compressed into under 25 minutes we find eight infectious songs with more hooks than a deep sea fishing vessel. Torche are heavy, like other sludge acts, with a tendency to keep the tempos upbeat, but there is a joyful quality to their music that really separates them from the pack. Tracks like "U.F.O." and "Cast Into Unknown" can put a smile on your face... even if you don't want them to.
The human Torches have a tendency to make The Ramones seem long-winded. The first six pack of ditties in Songs For Singles barely crack 12 minutes. Whereas some bands go on and on and on milking a good riff until heaven becomes hell, these guys get to the point and get out fast. The last two songs are slower paced, basically half speed and give the album some length.
While the album might be half over and done between the time you start the car and finish backing out of the driveway, it's fine. It's so infectious you'll be happy to just play it again.
So seeing as the band are really into the whole brevity thing, I think it shouldn't take longer to write (or read) this review than to listen to the album.
Haha, just listened to their self titled album today for the first time (before reading this review). 10 tracks under 30 minutes is pretty brief, but it's definitely the right length
So I loved this review when I first read it and then it took me for damn ever to get around to listening to the album. Finally I have listened, and loved. Even though it's an EP it has definitely earned itself a place on my Best of 2010 list.
I love how they're doing something different with the genre, something a little counter-intuitive actually. That's refreshing. And, of course, it's damn fun.
