Well I can tell you where they're not... they're not going to bars or clubs to meet women. Most of the guys that do that are just looking to get laid.

Never used cdbaby... but I have quite a few sources for underground music. Pandora, the metal-observer. And wikipedia is invaluable.

Damageplan - Breathing New Life

The feeling I used to get when I would find a new band I really liked. It was almost spiritual... I've found some new acts I really like, but nothing good enough to grace the favorites list or make me feel like that again.

those are great games, but those are classics. I'm talking about games that pop up along stuff like bejeweled or Magic Ball, but aren't lame like those. Real honest to god gaming gems hidden among legions of crap. Few and far between, but they are there.

They're few and far between, but occassionally one will pop up that's worth playing. List any you know of here.

I'm contributing Jets'N'Guns gold. This is a MUST HAVE for all fans of side scrolling shooters. Bucketloads of weapons, great music, punishing difficulty and lots of secrets to find.

Roms are great and its totally worth downloading an emulator, but if you just want to play online a bunch of the classics are available here.

My personal favorite game of all time is Frequency. Got to the point where I would play through it every day after school. Classic gameplay and loads of great unknown artists. And it spawned Guitar Hero which was cool before it became a cash cow.

Well it took me a long time but I eventually figured out that she was afraid of how she felt for me. I think she was frightened by the fact that she always wanted to be with me and would do pretty much anything I asked without thinking. I know that sounds conceited but this girl, years later, will openly stare at me whenever I'm around and this is after two years of not speaking. It was very unfortunate and it hurt a lot, but I had to accept that I had no future with her and let it go.

She wanted to be friends with benefits. Things got complicated when she got back with an ex boyfriend she didn't care for out of obligation and was still trying to have a real relationship with me on the side. I tried to make it work for a while, but I wouldn't lie with her while she was officially taken and eventually it hurt too much to be around her to try and make it work any longer. The guy left eventually and she was trying to get back with me for almost two years, but losing her the first time almost destroyed me and I am not strong enough to go through that again. It also really hurt that even though I know she loved me, and she knows I loved her, she couldn't give me the validation or closure I needed by telling me how she felt.

BEING COY!!!

I hate that most of the women I've encountered would rather make me figure everything out than just coming out and saying what they need. Or dodging an honest question just to make me squirm. That kind of behavior is not fun when you're confronted with it all the time.

I was dating a girl for a while that I truly loved, and I know she loved me back. But she couldn't commit to a relationship because she'd had miserable luck with all the boys that preceeded me. Eventually I had to let her go because I knew she wasn't going to give me what I needed, no matter how much we both wanted it.

So my answer to your question is when you feel your love interest will not even attempt to meet your needs, no matter how small or great, that's when its time to throw in the towel. And that goes both ways.

Who have you heard recently that really caught your attention? Please be descriptive, name dropping doesn't tell us anything about the band's sound.

There's a UK band releasing their first album this month named Xerath. They sound like a cross between Meshuggah and Dimmu Borgir. Describe themselves as being Death Metal crossed with Film Score... Chug Score for short. Not everybody's cup of tea to be sure, but they definitely stand out.

The problem with finding good music is it depends on how much you've been exposed to and like already. The broader your listening base the better chance you have of finding something new you like. Personally, my favorite genre is death metal but there's scant few bands popping up these days I enjoy. Imitation is an unfortunate byproduct of success, and eventually it can be next to impossible to find true originals amongst the sea of replicas. My advice to you is to start poking around in other genres. Rap, jazz, blues... search all over. And check out Pandora.com if you're not aware of it already. Free internet radio based on your listening tastes. Hope that helps

how about one of the furry tit heads from the end of little nicky? Great for scaring off bible salesmen.

Dream Theater on the first Gigantour. Opening for Megadeth. Played everything perfect plus three encores. It didn't matter what came next, that performance was awe-inspiring and there was nothing that could top it.
