Kai vs RYM metal charts: the 00's decade

Image
          Not sure why I'm doing this.  Definitely against my better judgement.  I guess just stopping on 2002 didn't feel quite right.  I guess to proper finish out the decade I changed the chart maker from a specific year to a decade.  Some of these will be repeats of course.  For the final time, let's go holy diving..... 1. System of a Down- Toxicity      Covered this already.  Best of the decade?  No.  But again, at least it ain't Blackwater Park . Should this be on a top 10 of the decade: Oh....I suppose. Would this be on my top 10 of the decade:   No. 2. Electric Wizard- Dopethrone      Wow, nothing from post 2003 is considered better than this, huh?  I can think of a few albums that do such.  And as I said, I like Dopethrone .  Would understand if lead guitar was louder in the mix. Should this be on a top 10 of the decade: Yes Would this be on my top 10 of the d...

Kai's stupid A.I. experiments: #1: Tarja Turunen blows up the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Image
     So my brief thoughts on A.I.:  I think it was forced upon us by billionaires to begin the acceleration process of human extinction.  I am all against it being used in music or any music creation form or fashion.  Album covers, music videos, music itself, if you're a metal band and you use it rather than pay someone, fuck you you drop down a peg.      However, I am 100% in favor of A.I. for the purposes of metal shit-posting!  I don't have the patience to draw.  So I decided to use it for my brain. I entered in the following text: TARJA TURUNEN AS A SKY SORCERESS USING MAGIC POWERS TO BLOW UP THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME. This is what popped out: Why a sky sorcreress you ask?  Cos I was trying to get a replication of the Destruction's The Antichrist  album.  Which as you know from me constantly talking about how it's the best album of 2001, looks like this: So I guess I wanted it to turn out like that except T...

NES 1943 Glitch "Why can't I max out special weapons?"

Image
            I don't know who needs to read this, but if you are playing the classic WWII Shmup 1943 , you may or may not have noticed that the game will not let you max out the "Special Weapon" stat right away.   Matter of fact the game skill point menu won't even let you select that row until the following requirement is met: All stats must be at a minimum of 3 points each.       Then, and only then will you be able to max out the "Special Weapon" stat and get your mittens on that cat weapon that rapid fires charge shots.  I have scoured the internet for this information and even the Strategywiki page  doesn't mention this.  I have put this here so all retro-gamers in the future will be aware of this glitch. Thank you and have a nice day. I swear I'm working on the RYM metal albums of the decades, but I'm lazy and aggravated at RYMs pleb taste.

Kai vs Loudwire (in advance): The 3 greatest metal songs from each year of the 00s

Image
     Loudwire haven't made this article yet, but you know it's coming so I figured I might as well beat them to the punch.  As with the previous article, what I feel are the three best songs from each year.  With an equal mixture of objectivity (commerciality, youth relevance) and personal opinion weighed into my decision.        Oh, and no I won't be putting a Running Wild song in every year this time.  I refuse to acknowledge people trying to hide drum machines.  If there's a song you really don't like in 2000, sub it out for "When Time Runs Out" or something.  So let's go holy diving..... 2000: 3. Nightwish- Crownless      You over-emotional weirdos can keep your Ghost Love Scores and your Elans and your Amaranths to yourselves.  THIS is peak Nightwish. Yes it's because it's speed metal, yes its because it shreds. Yes its because it proves that Stratovarius kinda sucked and sometimes the ripoff band is be...
