    Well you do go around shooting soldiers in it, but it’s ok, because their the evil Helghast from Mars *shakes fist angrily in Mars general direction*
    It’s a first person shooter (Like Doom?) the focus isn’t on violence though, the story and strategy is more important I think.

    Is there a way to have it so that the picture works as a link to spfreaks home page?
    Or is that something you’d rather avoid?

    I’m already quite addicted to it, so far it seems all very friendly.
    It moves very fast though, and I can imagine it getting a lot faster over the coming weeks.

    It took a lot of listens, but the song has grown on me, I like it a lot more now, it won’t be making my fave pumpkin songs list any time soon, but it will probably be stuck in my head for some time :)

    :(
    I guess we knew something was going to change, but I had been hoping they’d follow the NIN route, releasing albums online first (wether for free or not is up to them) and then a limited physical release a few weeks later, I felt that was the best way to move forward anyway.

    So when and were can you download FOL?[/quote:2t0f888o]

    [url:2t0f888o]http://download.hyundaigenesis.com/RegistrationPage.aspx?downloadfilename=billy.mp3[/url:2t0f888o]

    I’m not really too fond of it TBH, the vocals feel a bit passionless, but the melody is catchy *shrugs* it’s ok, I’d like to hear it live before I really make a call on it though.

    I’ve been listening to the new Eagles of Death Metal and new Franz Ferdinand all day (bought them this morning), really enjoying both :)
    Probably E0DM a bit more though.

    hehe well I had just invested (blown) €225 on the complete x-files set, so couldnt afford it.
    I saw it in a HMV store, maybe you can find it online?
    It was about €115 in the store.

    I think my friend finally cracked, she just asked me for some Pumpkins stuff after watching the trailer for the watchmen :P
    Me preaching about how much better they are than her beloved Pearl Jam never tempted her, but some guys in spandex was just the ticket :P

    Dazey mentioned them in the original post, but I thought I’d throw in a video, as their awesome, and deserve it.
