"Standopoing". Is... that a real word?

Ooh, metal. Can't pass this thread up. Though I'm not a huge Pokemon fan, I do like Powerglove, and I love Tony Kakko.

Only one thing needs to be said about Brazil:

The unidentified corpse was found totally drained of fluids in front of their computer. The only clue was the website open on said computer, which one officer commented was "Off the hizzie," before he, too, spontaneous exploded in joygasm. Included in the brief is a dramatization of the event.

An early love of RPGs got me reading at a very young age, kindling a life-long love of literature.

Hawkwind was number 33.

For the fallen.

Ayreon was in the 71-100 list.

I imagine that the only reason that Star One isn't anywhere on this list (let alone in the top 10) is that Ayreon was on it earlier, and they're both projects from the same man. I can't imagine any other reason that such an amazing project showcasing cornerstones of science fiction in every single song wouldn't have…

I came to post exactly that.

I'm sorry, but when I see Johnny Depp like that, all I see is Richmond from The IT Crowd.

In Soviet Russia, G-Spot finds you! Or maybe it doesn't.

I have to admit that every time one of these articles is posted, I'm always pleasantly surprised by the amount of metal fans that show up. Good show, io9ers.

That one or Iconoclast. Both have very heavy sci-fi elements.

I foresee a lot of Arjen Anthony Lucassen in this list, but I'm calling it now that Star One is somewhere in the top 20... it'd better be. *shakes fist*

Seconded on Ayreon, but as far as metal opera's go, there's always Avantasia's Metal Opera parts I and II. Worth a listen.

Faught?

The only reason I can see to hate Capcom is because they haven't given us another Breath of Fire in almost a decade (and a decent one in 12 years).

Hmm, would My Name is Bruce fit in here?

"What about my penis, doc?"
