    Russia invades Ukraine

    Please remember that propaganda is not (only) telling lies. Propaganda is also presenting facts in a selective way or framing them according to your own discretion. For example, if a country agreed to have another country's army stationed there and we present it as a negative action of the...

    35+ hours in Red Dead Redemption 2 and I'm still somewhere in middle of third act (out of 6 I think). Game is great. All praises were well earned. Game have some issues with controlls on a horse but other than that - it is a shame that I didn't played earlier.

    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    I think the biggest problem with NPFTD is that it's an album released after a few strong albums. If it was somewhere else in the discography, the perception would probably be different. On the other hand, it's hard for me to hate an album that brought Janick into the band.

    NO PRAYER FOR THE DYING - Your thoughts…

    For me - strong album. I liked how raw it was and songs (in most cases) were good. I'm not happy with the assasin (CHORUS!) or mother russia but other than that - I like it very much, title song is one the best in my mind. Solid 8/10 album.

    I'm completely fed up with the misconception that knowing how to use a program makes you an 'expert' in a given field. As if knowing Excel makes someone an accountant and knowing Word makes someone a writer. Silly, right? However, in marketing, if you know (averagely) the Google Ads panel...

    The basic problem is the definition of 'good' or 'bad'. No bad person thinks of themselves as a 'bad' person. Everyone is susceptible to propaganda, young age is not a decisive factor here. The problem is that social media distracts young people from education, actively weakening the community...

    Run For Your Lives Tour: Which Songs from No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark Are in the Setlist?

    Press release is speaking about 'first nine albums' so I will say that they will play at least one song from NPFTD.

    Baldur's Gate 3 finally clicked with me and my god it is so good. At first, the game bored me after about an hour. However, it turned out that when I got through it (4th attempt) the game incredibly captivated me with its freedom and wealth of possibilities. Are you attacked by a group of...

    But... British Lion is also Steve project and they are nowhere near the level of first maiden albums (and with Steve current experience this should be in their reach). I get credit that Steve gets (and deserve) but in all truth - band is sum of its parts. Steve gives the band an iconic sound...

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    World is full of solid drummers, that doesn't entitle any of them to be in Iron Maiden. I still don't understand the argument that a bassist (who is the decision-maker) should choose someone who learned to copy the style of a former band member instead of someone he has been playing with on...

    the only thing worse than this is when someone in the office announces that they came in sick as if it was some kind of badge of honor.

    Indiana Jones. It's interesting game. I'm a little bit on the fence with my opinion about it - game has great music, graphic, story is interesting and voice acting is superb (Troy Baker as Indiana is g-r-e-a-t). But I don't like design decisions that they made. First person with ocasional...

    What a great argument. There is nothing like using someone's decision from 30 years ago, made in completely different circumstances, as an argument in a discussion.

    Simon Dawson is the new drummer

    Well, talking about the fact that there are dozens of great drummers in the world who could play in Iron Maiden is a paradox. It is both true and false. True because they do exist and they are good. False because it doesn't work that way. Steve decides who will be in the band and we all know...

    There's difference between being sad because something in band that we love has changed and questioning band members sanity, professionalism of people that we don't know in context of the band etc. Some people here moan and groan more than my teenage son during house chores.

    Interestingly, Bruce said at the concert that Nicko wasn't leaving the band, but he was giving up playing live. So all in all - I don't know if it's worth creating a storm in a teacup because people get old and are replaced by others. Mankind has been doing this for centuries.
