[Sharae]

Cool!

[gunslinger]

what genre of music do they play? with the look i would assume gothic/industrial or gothic/reignfaire

[Pr0fane]

Excellent...I'm need of something new & different.

@gunslinger...not so. Nothing gothic about their music. It's more celtic meets enya meets Loreena McKennit (sp?).

ok i get the celtic, i have heard enya, not familiar with loreena mckennit.. i will have to check it out.. celtic can be cool sometimes..

they don't look very celtic.. unless this is a new celtic goth.. lol

[Pr0fane]

Well, having said that somewhat categorization above, this is definitely a new look for the Baebes...perhaps this CD is a change in sound for them too.

And Slayer have just gone into the studio too... :wink:

I suppose I should let that drop before anyone takes me seriously.

Joking aside though, this should be good.

[witchfire]

not familiar with loreena mckennit.. i will have to check it out..

her best album is "the visit"

it contains the song from highlander 3 (bonny portmore)

she's got the voice on an angel

[Shinobi]

Still haven't been able to hear these gurlz, so still no idea wot they sound like!


And Slayer have just gone into the studio too...

Now, THIS would be good news :twisted:



Edit: Just downloaded a sample of their stuff......... errrrrr.......... not my kinda thang *shudder*

[Artemis Black]

If they were just called the 'Medieval Babes' I might have thought about downloading something to try out but they are clearly morons who think adding letters to words looks 'kewl' so I won't.

Hi Witchfire. Ive got all of Loreena McKennitt's albums, and love them dearly. The Visit is great! Another favorite of mine is "Live In Paris and Toronto"...a double CD set of live performance. The set includes the whole of "The Book Of Secrets" album on it.

Artemis: The spelling of the Baebes isnt some newfangled hip thing. Its tied to Old English spellings. And since the Mediaeval Baebes are doing ...well...medieval music, its quite applicable.

I didn't say it was new, I said it was stupid.

[DarkHost]

Yawn....

Just another attempt to market to my gonads. Someone wake me when they put out some worth spending my time on -- like a Viennese Oyster or DVDA themed poster.

[Shinobi]

LOL :D

This place is getting more like FU-UK every day :P

[DA_Magpie]

And Slayer have just gone into the studio too...

Now, THIS would be good news :twisted:



They went off to start recording earlier this month. To the best of my knowledge the Baebes didn't go with them. :wink:

Oddly enough the miss-spelling names thing normally annoys me no end, but I just didn't notice in their case until now so I'll let them away with it.

Now now, don't be so judgemental *Pats Aertaemis on the head* There there. Book. Cover.

isn't that like judging a book by it's cover? i mean you may like it you may not.. this way you will never know.. i find that a bit short sighted.. oh well, to each his own..

[Stunke]

Misspelling this and misspelling that.
I'll have all of you know that this is no trend.

[DA_Grafter]

Let alone use the metric system...

Hey, I think Dark Age is one of the few U.S. games that use the metric system, does that make us uber kool :)

[Stunke]

It does indeed. In fact, me playing darkage has nothing to do with a nice staff, cool minies, or rules that makes sense. It's all about using centimeters.

There, I said it.

[DA_Magpie]

You too eh? Inches just confuse me.

[witchfire]

i was raised on the metric system yet i have problemes
with games in centimetres instead of inches

[gunslinger]

i draft and design buildings and freeways all day long .. so measurements are just units to me.. 1 inch is one unit.. and 1 cm is one unit.. one just happens to be smaller than the other.. no worries there..

[Sharae]

hmm, i will just leave this one alone.. way to easy to nail you stunke..

it is just as easy for us english speakers to nail the non-native speakers as well..

Your first language is English? I wouldn't have guessed. No really, I wouldn't have. *Chuckles*

[DA_Grafter]

Your first language is English? I wouldn't have guessed. No really, I wouldn't have. *Chuckles*

LOL @ Sharae... or shall I say LOL @ Gun :lol:

actually it wasn't.. but thanks for playing.. my first language was American.. nothing at all like English.. nothing like it.. At least that is what those on the other side of the pond tell me.. I could be wrong..

[Vaxillus]

Ah, the great English vs. American discussion. Really just depends on whether you like 'grey' or 'gray,' 'zee' or 'zed.' Unless you live in Canada, Canadian is just a half-breed :P .

[witchfire]

'zee' or 'zed.' Unless you live in Canada, Canadian is just a half-breed :P .

it is pronouced "zed" not "zee" !!! "ZED"

and I AM CANADIAN

[Pyrrhus]

I prefer the term "hybrid" - we've taken the best of both ( 99% English, 1 % American), then added a little french :D

[Sharae]

Go Canada! :D

I'm part Canadian myself, my mother is from there, and my father is English.

[witchfire]

- we've taken the best of both ( 99% English, 1 % American), then added a little french :D

who are you calling little :x

[Pyrrhus]

who are you calling little

My apologies to the purist from la belle provance :oops:

I stand corrected. Ironically though, English was already French-ified back un England, old English sounds far more Germanic.

[DA_Magpie]

I stand corrected. Ironically though, English was already French-ified back un England, old English sounds far more Germanic.

Looks like we're back to the Medieval then. Old English evolved from Anglo-Saxon, very definitely Germanic. Then there's old Scots, which is also a Germanic language, and shouldn't be confused with modern Scots which is actually a dialect of English.
Neither of them should be confused with Gaelic, which comes in Scottish and Irish varieties. And that's all without being invaded by the Norse.
Confused? I am.

This is just too funny!!!

Good old US vs UK arguments, and now we're even bringing in the French!!! *sigh*

[gunslinger]

oh, i was speaking of americans.. sorry i didn't make that clear did i?

[steeldragon]

Since I live in a metric system country I've found easier to understand inches, as a quarter of the number (inches) multiplied ten, the result in centimeters... I don't know if it can work for other people, but I'm math inclined in everyday's life... (like mental calculations of how much I'm spending in the supermarket).

explaining this in formulae :P

X inches/4*10 = Y cm

Andr

[Stunke]

See here's the interesting part. Inches are different from one side of the pond to the other.

4 british inches equals 10 cm, but 4 american inches are 10,24 cm. (Or was it the other way around)
Makes a difference in the end, but for wargaing, its fine.

[DA_Magpie]

That is unnecessarily evil. Especially for those who

That's because Americans have bigger feet, and you know what they say about people with bigger feet...

[Stunke]

Yeah. They've got big ears too!

Why do you ask?

[Sharae]

Mag's feet are size 13! Hehe! *Giggles*

[gunslinger]

Mag's feet are size 13! Hehe! *Giggles*

looks like mag's awinner.. or not.. it all depends.. lol

[Vaxillus]

Aren't the sizes different from country to country? My shoes say UK size 50 :shock: . In America it's 15 though (I'm 6'4" so goes to figure).


Well, this topic is derailed, who's next?

[witchfire]

i'm 5'11" & i wear size 9 shoes


i'm also balding :oops:

[Wayne Rogers]

They oughta use this forum as a test study in the randomness of human discourse. :insane:

[punkrabbitt]

And I haven't even been here to help the process along...

[Stunke]

Were an odd forum that's for sure. We don't even say Hitler a lot, so we actually break a lot of the laws-of-internet-discussion here.

Rock on Garth!

[DA_Magpie]

Are we supposed to? I can start throwing him into conversation if it would be helpful at all.
