I'm desperately hoping they release Destiny for PC, but I have a 360 so if they don't I guess I'll be okay... for the first game in the series, anyway. Still haven't played Mirror's Edge, but it sounds like my kind of game.

At least playing fallout or battlefield is better than playing new call of duty games.

All I play is fallout, with the occasional bout of grand theft auto and battle field.

@Lit. It has to be, that game was the shit.

@Maco Don't care much for MK, but Mirror's Edge is taking the position for my most anticipated game.

The album starts off like an endless void which builds into harsh Black Metal with a touch of depression and agony which is the reputed trademark of a Burzum album. From start to finish, this album is a roller coaster of emotions and raw music which will take you to a place deep into Middle Earth if you're a Tolkien fan. If not, it really doesn't matter as this album's depressive and aggressive combination will blow your mind towards the outer realms of Saturn. "Det Som Engang Var" (''What Once Was'') is medieval and transcends humanity and all links with the present world you live in.

The best song of this album is ''Lost Wisdom''.Also it is one of the Burzum's best songs.

Probably their best album with songs under ten minutes long. I listen to this album to get me to sleep.its that hypnotic...

Lost Wisdom, 2.53 - one of my best moments in music ever.

I love this so much, but i have to be careful how much i listen because i only have it on vinyl and i gotta keep it forever so yeah... Anyways this is old school burzum at its best (tied with filosofem), this has the perfect blend of ambiance and aggression that fucks with your brain!
