    Blind Guardian are also the one band I've ever called my "favourite", nothing beats the experience of a crowd of BG fans singing along to every word of every song of a gig.

    The one with Clint and every one with Jon continue to be the best podcasts to date. They really need to get Clint back on.

    Blind Guardian IS amazing, ESPECIALLY live!
    Oh and thank you for doing these Ask Anything videos. They are awesome.

    I'll vouch for this. ENB is extremely entertaining, but more importantly his content is extremely educational. He also cites other channels that can offer more information.

    I'd say keep the Podcast as it is. I love having new people there. Even when some are horrible guests, the ones that are not totally make up for the bad ones. It also makes every podcast very different and fresh.

    TB, I enjoy your videos. I like your voice, your personality, and the open-minded, logical way you present games.

    TB.. you are an awesome human.. no matter what people say YOU started something (an empire) that the kids that shout bs could never dream of..
    I hope your job gets more stable.. you of all people deserve it..
    hope the youtube hall of fame will forever remember your name.. else your community will.

    Soilwork - The Panic Broadcast is indeed an awesome album. It's got everything that's good about Soilwork. From groovy to straight forward, from experimental to basic, from fast to slow, from harsh to melodic.
    Amon Amarth also awesome, they stick to their formula for 90% on each album, yet still keep almost everyone happy, because that's what everyone wants. They bring JUST enough new experiment on every album not to sound like a copy, and they bring solid quality, well written songs, every time

    TB, for the podcasts consider having segments where you bring in certain hosts. For example, an indie game segment will focus the discussion on indie games, and you can bring in the hosts that are best versed in that area. Then you can move on to a new segment 30 min later (or however long) and change the hosts around to match that segment.

    I assume you don't mean it's a joke. I mean, if you had a criticism to make, you'd have provided evidence and reasoning like a regular person.
    My doctor is telling me to assume the best in people otherwise I may want to club them over the head with a brick, so that is what I am trying to do right now. I am going to assume that I just misunderstood you :)

    The first Melo-Death band I found was Insomnium around about 2009 , which have stayed as i my favourite band. I then quickly found Dark Tranquillity, Kalmah, Hypocrisy, Amon Amarth and at the gates. Recently I also found Amorphis, Be'lakor and Omnium Gatherum. I found that even though there is the expected general theme within the genre, each band seems to give their own touch on the genre. And se because of this, every new band i find seems to refresh the genre for me, not that it ever needs to

    Podcast 25 was probably the best one...seriously that one was amazing. And the Crendor ones were great too.
    Dungeonland with yogscast sounds absolutely awesome. Fingers crossed!

  • @SinisterSkip
    @SinisterSkip 12 років тому

    TB, I don't wanna sound judgemental or supressing, but being in shape, having low bodyfat, having not many insuline spikes or even insuline resistance, also causes your cortisol (stress hormone) levels to lower hence might aid you with your allergies or even make your medicine unneeded, which all would say, is the best way to go. Working out 1 hour, 2 or 3 times a week and cleaning the diet up a bit can make a significant difference in these issues.

  • @nroe1337
    @nroe1337 12 років тому

    I loved hearing about the music TB, Blue Plz in 2004 was how I discovered the vast majority of the metal I love today. I'll never forget you singing Sonata Arctica's Don't Say A Word live on the air... :D

  • @PabloLomez
    @PabloLomez 12 років тому

    Actually I find that Jesse does a reasonably good job at keeping the podcast in check when you're not there. He tries to steer the podcast in the direction in the should be going and succeeds most of the time. Jesse definitely deserves some credit for that.

  • @ainumahtar
    @ainumahtar 12 років тому

    Oldschool Gothenburgh is great! The newer stuff all sounds very similar, and they (imo) mostly seem to imitate In Flames at their peak. At the Gates and Dark Tranquility are still my absolute favorites to this day

  • @yanks9725
    @yanks9725 12 років тому

    I would love more podcasts with Josh, Clint and Jon. I think them 3 are by far the best guest hosts. Josh is one of the most intelligent people on the gamestation and Jon and Clint are probably two of the funniest

  • @Snejlet
    @Snejlet 12 років тому

    It is a rather strange experience to hear TB talking about music. I'm quite heavily into music myself, and it's nice to hear him talk about something other than gaming with such confidence. That it coincides with my interests is something of a bonus.
    This leads me to think that TB doing a show like WTF is... for something other than gaming might be interesting to hear. He could wind up being the gaming community's equivalent to Morgan Freeman.

  • @cynicalbrit
    @cynicalbrit  12 років тому

    By which you mean "probably the best, most talkative and knowledgeable guest we've ever had on the show". I assume that's what you meant, after all if you had meant otherwise you'd have given reasoning behind your opinion like a regular person.

  • @SanderPastoor
    @SanderPastoor 12 років тому

    On Meshuggah: Most of their songs are actually in a very regular time signature, but they place the accents in very weird places which makes it feel so odd. If you just keep headbanging in normal 4/4 it'll eventually feel normal again. The bandmembers do it too. It's part of the challenge of seeing them live, haha

    Oh man, can't believe you're into this type of music. First 5 In Flames albums are just awesome! And Dark tranquility, at the gates of course. TB, PLEASE listen to Disarmonia Mundi, I think you'd love them, quite a few of their songs have Bjorn from Soilwork on vocals.

  • @redelton
    @redelton 12 років тому

    Almost buttclenched there for a while after listening to your In Flames opinion, but then i remembered that people have different tastes and i'm totally ok with that. Their oldest stuff is some of my least favorite while "Reroute", "Come clarity" and "Soundtrack" are my top 3. I love their choruses and prefer that Anders sings more than growls these days. Anyhow, despite me not agreeing with you on that particular point, i loved hearing you analyzing the crap out of swedish metal. Rock on man!

  • @rwest0
    @rwest0 12 років тому

    That's fair enough. I'm only hold off to try and figure out exactly what I want to work on. Up in the air as to whether or not to just do the games I'm playing right onw (FTL, Borderlands, etc), to do classics and retro games people may have missed (Betrayal at Krondor, Vagrant Story...), or to try something else. I guess the best idea would be to just pick a game I feel like playing (Like Dark Souls) and just dive in.

  • @tehphones
    @tehphones 12 років тому

    Simon Lewis and Jesse for Dungeonland, TB that would be so awesome. I know its probably harder to organize the schedules but it would probably be the sweetest 3(or a number divisible by 3) part video ever. I say 3 parts cuz one for you one for Jesse one for Simon and Lewis. This way you promote two tgs channels that you recruited. Plus I'm sure you want to do something with Jesse that isn't 'garbage' (as you say) like Terraria. You guys could even make it a double perspective/comentary video.

  • @DanoLefourbe
    @DanoLefourbe 12 років тому

    Concerning the Podcast question:
    Felicia Day and StephenPlays were fantastic. Maybe the 2 best episodes for me, seriously.
    And I also agree that Josh from IndieStatik would be really nice to see from time to time since he has good knowledge of gaming history, and is involved in the indie scene, like you.
    My dumb oppinion.

  • @Dwarfurious
    @Dwarfurious 12 років тому

    Their Magicka play through was amazing ! And it might be done through perspectives since TB would be their enemy, they wouldnt want to really talk amongst themselves with his evil ears around, so we could get one video for each sides perspective, AND THEY'LL MAKE TWICE THE MONEY!

    I get Hives, it's the most irritating thing ever (probably isn't but it feels like it). Stress induced as well. The most annoying thing is the come and go with no trace, so you go to a doctor and it feels weird saying "I'm covered in itchy lumps... but they've gone atm". People look at you like you're loosing it. Still haven't found anything that works for me other than waiting for the stress and ergo, the hives, to cease, so I feel your pain... or itch rather.

    ENB is the absolute best for Dark Souls content. I cannot vouch for him hard enough. Covers everything - indepth lore, gameplay, guides, great commentary, pure love for the game. That said his Souls content isn't really too much of a LP, as I said his playthrough of Dark/Demons souls are more of guides and walkthroughs, though he does do LPs (YS Origin, Cave Story atm), I wouldn't really through his souls content in there with it.

  • @BlakeFaeMorton
    @BlakeFaeMorton 12 років тому

    Honestly, for a Dungeon Master Game I think the dynamic between Simon, Lewis, and Sijn would be best. I feel Hannah and Duncan have their own styles which are great, but Hannah apparently doesn't have good commentating synergy with Lewis. Meanwhile, Duncan just seems better as the teacher or with Hannah. Sijn, however, did really well with Lewis and Simon on Tekkit and that's probably why they did extra episodes with him at Honeydew Inc.

    Hey TB,
    In regards to your first answer to question about stress.
    I work in a high stress job also, but my stress breaks out into anxiety and lack of sleep, so its a little different to yours. But
    Have you tried acupuncture?
    I was skeptic at the start, but for stress management the Chinese herbs and relaxing treatments really do help allot. If you have not tried this yet, try it out, make sure you can find someone that likes to specialize in the area of stress/anxiety or depression.

    Haha, I would've never guessed that TB has the same music taste as me.

    He's been in a band, worked for radio and music was a big part of his podcast. The average person just listens to music. No need to feel ignorant when he's really into music and has been in the industry of it a little bit.

    I love your comment on Swedish Death Metal. Could not agree more.
    I do however like In Flames, most of the CDs. The oldest CDs are a bit.. mjeh, not really my style. Reroute is definitly one of my favs of they're releases.
    You might want to check out Raubtier. Not sure if it's your style, and their lyrics are in Swedish, but their first album, Kamphund, is wicked.
