Answering Owen: Full song... For some reason, it's actually difficult to answer, because the first song I learnt was Enter Sandman (Metallica), but I couldn't play the solo then... But yeah, Enter Sandman would be the better answer to that.

(i really need to find questions to ask too)

Quite a story, Jimmy. Glad it turned out well for you.

dbngaa : I began drums because last Christmas, my brother brought back at my parents' house his electronic drum kit, which he wasn't using much. Since then I've been playing a bit of it, so yeah, no lessons, I just try to learn songs I like, and since I'm a prog dude, I pretty much work on Mike Portnoy tracks only (for the last weeks, I've been working on Sola Scriptura, one of Neal Morse's solo albums, with Portnoy at the drums). I've always been good with rhythm, so it's going pretty well. I don't have any idea what a drums lesson would be like, I just try to play that shit until it works. Having fun with it so far!

(trying to come up with questions for the dudes above)

This name has given me sweet dreams for years, probably even before Team Fortress 2 was out (2007). I can't begin to describe how frakking excited I am that this thing is finally being released.

What they're showing in that little introduction video is even beyond what I hoped it would be. Character posing, animating, facial animations, camera motion. There's everything in there to make videos as awesome as the Meet the Team ones (okay, the baby Heavy is gonna be hard to top).

I won't have time to test the beta in July or August, but I guess the final version should be out by September, and I'm gonna have fun. There's so much potential in there, and Team Fortress 2 offers everything to make crazy shorts. If they eventually make it usable for any Source based game (which they are apparently planning to do), I will feel like a God.

Sigh. Valve. These people are incredible.

The longer you stare, the harder it is to look away.

Dude, it's 2089 and Internet Explorer still exists. We're screwed, man.

I so don't want to see that movie anymore. I guess I will, eventually, but if I am to go to the theatre, let it be another movie.

Hah, didn't know you had a Flickr account. Imma add you.

I have a very, very bad memory of Quantum of Solace, while I loved Casino Royale. All I can remember of it is "MORE SHAKY CAM!!1!1". So yeah, we'll see about Skyfall.

Awesome.

Representing the French in this community, I will say that... yeah I have no idea.

I'm just glad Sarkozy got kicked out. Let's all have foie gras and a Pinot Noir.

How many posts have I got anyway?

EDIT : Ah... Well... Everyone has to start from scratch.

I wonder how many posts BDA would have by now if chat messages were counted as posts. Something like over 9000, probably.
