Marilyn Manson Denies Video Has Columbine Link…
Anyone drawing parallels between the new Marilyn Manson video for “The Fight Song” and the Columbine High School shootings is simply trying to create scandal, the oft-targeted rocker says.

Could you imagine a world without music?!?
The last story I posted made me start thinking about Music and how important it has been in my life. Could you imagine living in a country that censored your music to the point that you could only get 1 or 2 rock albums every 3 years?!? That has to be the most fucked up thing I think I have ever heard. It makes you think really hard about censorship and how far it could go.

Baldurs Gate II Review
What do you expect from a RPG? Do you buy a game claiming to have tons of roleplaying capabilities only to find that their idea of roleplaying is having a different face on each character? When is the last time you tossed a game out the window in sheer boredom? Well, let me tell you about a new game on the market: Balders Gate II. This game has everything that youve been looking for. There is no lack of strategy, quests, and even enough hack and slash to carry over even the biggest of brawlers. I have never found a game with the amount of balance between those three elements. I spent several 2-3 day long stints and there are many more yet to come. I, for one, was tired of spending countless amounts of money and hours on a disappointing game that ended with cds in the trash, money in someone elses hand, and alot of frustration from wasted time. You will not be disappointed.
