one of the most beautiful games I've ever played; unparalleled atmospheres! it's also great that in theory you can finish the game without ever fighting.

In my opinion, the X-Men series is way better than the Spider-Man one; however, the best superhero movies remain the Batman series (Burton’s and the last two); Watchmen and Kick-Ass (by the way, from what I know, the latter was never distributed in Italy, but if you know a bit of English, I suggest you get your hands on it!). Anyway, among the X-Men, I prefer the second one (the best) and the third.

A couple of notes: the bombings by the Allies were never strategic but often aimed at hitting the civilian population; just look at the most glaring cases like Dresden and Tokyo (everyone talks about Guernica, but the same happened here, if not worse, and no one is scandalized); then to those who say "under Hitler you couldn't write these things": I don't doubt it, but don't think that under Stalin (or in the USSR in general, or in Cuba or in China) you could write these things either.

I would like to add that the Russians were not there to liberate but to conquer, and that the peoples left under their dominion still suffer the consequences today (and when Hitler attacked Russia, he probably only anticipated Stalin, who would have done the same sooner or later). Furthermore, even in the USSR, there were countless antisemitic persecutions; it’s just that instead of concentration camps, there were the gulags.

Well, it's certainly not a topic that can be discussed in just a couple of lines, but I would just like to point out that there wasn't that big of a difference between the Nazis and the Communists; if we really want to look for someone a little less rotten, we could talk about the Western Allies (who, in turn, had colonial empires acquired through killing and exterminating, and that especially France would defend in the future with violence against local populations).

Megadeth Live @ Estragon (BO), 03/06/10

Well, it's true that the interaction with the audience might not be the best, but then again, even when they try to engage, international bands usually face the problem that almost no one speaks English, and to whatever people say, they just respond with "yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!" and similar things. Like in Bologna, Dave tried to get the crowd to sing along to a part, but I think 99% of them didn't understand... Anyway, a band that is spectacular live is Faith No More; Patton is a god!

beautiful concert, my first of Megadeth! And to think that apart from Killing, Rust in Peace, and Peace Sells I don't really follow them too much...

Metallica Master Of Puppets

For me, the best Metallica album remains Kill 'Em All; the others have progressively captivated me less as time went on, even though up to Master, they are still great records. Justice doesn't really appeal to me that much, and then it's better to just leave it alone.
