1. Fargo
2. ???
3. Wargames 
(I really wanna watch that one again - Cold War stuff aside, I wonder if it still stands up as a decent movie.)

What's this about shitty packaging? One of those cardboard things? Damn, I hate those. Mine was in a regular jewel-case, with foldout booklet and everything. Guess living in Japan still has 1 or 2 benefits.

Thats my account at Hell deleted. The "Mistakes in Slashs Book" thread was a complete joke.
No kidding! I read through that whole thread and was feeling embarrassed for some of the posts over there. Sad.
#265 Re: The Garden » Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating! » 918 weeks ago
From now until about mid-January is definitely my most homesick time of the year. 
When you guys are all chowing down, think of your little American friend over in Japan and have an extra helping for me. 
Happy Thanksgiving!

I'll center align the forum tomorrow but will make it a seperate skin called evolution2 or something. I'll post up here when its available for you to change in your profile
Are you saying that only one skin will be able to be center-aligned? Or will you be able to center-align with that then use whatever skin you want? I'd say just make the whole thing always centered (if possible), that way it'll look good on whatever screen.
Though now that I say that, you do have the graphics and page turn thingy on the right, so maybe that wouldn't work so well. 
I'd like to seem some cool forum skins to go with th existing ones, like a duff one, or a slash one.
I have some time off from work in December and am really hoping to put together some new skins during that break. It's still a little ways off, but that's my plan. I'll definitely concentrate on members and such that haven't been represented so far.
In fact, if anyone's got cool photos or artwork you'd like to see worked into a new skin, feel free to PM me. 
#267 Re: Guns N' Roses » Angel Down Released Today » 918 weeks ago
I posted this in the other thread, but I picked up a CD copy of this today at Tower Records here in Tokyo. I'll be listening to it on the way home from work, so I'll have to wait until later to post my impression of it.
Japan Edition has one bonus track: (Love Is) A Bitchslap (George Marino Master), which not having heard yet, I'm guessing is the Axl-less version.

I'm surprised they still sell mp3s online. Sure, they're small and good for emailing/trading, but why anyone would want to pay money for compressed music is beyond my comprehension.
Well, at least things are moving towards higher bit rates and eventually lossless I hope. But Amazon is a better deal than iTunes. No tax, no DRM, and lower prices. 89 cents if you want to just buy songs by themselves.
Well good point on the no DRM, low price, etc. I'm just saying that I wouldn't want to pay for lossy and I also hope that eventually it'll all be lossless. With the size of hard drives and the speed of downloads these days, there's really no excuse for lossy music sales. Sure mp3s are great for portability (at the moment), I prefer to have a CD-quality lossless version to listen to at home. (Actually, I have everything on my ipod in FLAC at the moment, but that's another story.)
...And karma for the kick-ass av!
As far as CD goes, I'll definitely buy it in physical form. At least a CD and hopefully a vinyl if they put one out.
Anyways.... usually I don't care about artwork with mp3s, but if someone turns up a good place I can download high quality artwork for this album, I'd appreciate it. I just made my purchase!
How "high-quality" are you looking for?

Well, I just picked up a copy of the CD. They didn't have it filed under Sebastian Bach, so it took my awhile to find it. Turned out that had it on special display at one of those listening booths. The blurb they had written above it stressed that Axl is on some of the tracks. Anyway, they had plenty of them at the Tower Records here in Tokyo.
I probably won't get a chance to listen to it here at work, but I'm ripping it to listen to on the train ride home.
Oh, and the Japan bonus track is (Love Is) A Bitchslap (George Marino Master).
