BF2S Forums Delicious Karmaz to anyone who can tell me where my sig/avatar is from

4 days eh? I'll be getting this for sure. And I knew it was Pendulum before I even clicked the topic. Because, HaaaaaaaaaaamiT, you had Hold Your Colour as your Avatar or w/e before. So I just knew it.

Edit: Oh dammit, it would have been SO much easier to just check the filename of your sig, but I just had to do it the hard way.

How did u figuure that out via google? I am impressed

I shall now try to retrace my ways of trial and error the google way.

The hint "performed on computer or via computer simulation" was copypasta ready to be served with google.
-> Result: The 2nd hit was a Wikipedia page.

wikipedia wrote:

In silico is an expression used to mean "performed on computer or via computer simulation." The phrase is coined from the Latin phrases in vivo and in vitro that are commonly used in biology (see also systems biology) and refer to experiments done in living organisms and outside of living organisms, respectively. Contrary to widespread belief, in silico does not mean anything in Latin.

So now I had "In silico". Had I been smart, I would have clicked the link above the article: "For the album by Pendulum, see In Silico (Pendulum album)" (that would have been end of story), but alas, I did not.

So back to google Image Search for "In Silico", but the only remotely pseudo-valid possible match was an album cover by the band "Deepsky". However, it had also circular patterns on the cover.

Next step: Google image search for "In silico cover". Nothing good. Back to Regular google, result: "Pendulum album" at wikipedia.

Winrar.

Although I phailed twice. 1) I didn't just check the sig file name. 2) I should have seen the wiki links.

I knew all that but didn't want to spoil the hunt

How the fek do you google an IMAGE????

Consiring his old avatar was the Hold Your Colour album, it didnt take Sherlock Homes to figure the new one might also be Pendulum related.

I just looked at his sig and could have finished googling in less than a minute. Too bad I was 10 hours too late.

DonFck is trying to be OH tbh.

My comment on the new album...

It's incredibly uninspiring. I know completely changing direction would be criticized just as heavily... but most of the songs on the new album sound like they were created from a 'Pendulum Paint-By-Numbers' guide. Meh, it's alright as a precursor for further excursions into drum'n'bass I suppose

From a drum and bass perspective: the way in which Pendulum insist on incessantly using the same breakbeat sample and the exact same drum loops over and over again in every song (including almost every song on Hold Your Colour) is extremely tiresome. 'Real' drum'n'bass is definitely lacking this Pendulum-esque habit for monotonous insipid rock-anthems-transferred-to-DnB. Also- the singer needs to stfu. I cannot stress this enough. It was a bold decision to become a live drum'n'bass act (sorry Pendulum - London Elektricity did it 100x better than you ever will)- and an even bolder move for that guy to force his lackluster vocals upon almost every track. It's even worse when, in order to compensate for his lack of singing ability, he simply autotunes his voice to every song-- leaving you with some boring vocoded-synth horrorpiece for the entire 50 minutes.

4/10.
