An absolute blindside of a loss.
Without Cronos and Venom, there is no Metallica. No Slayer.
To this day, one of the best live acts I've ever seen.
And Cronos was a fellow gamer! When off-tour, this legend ran his own Venom-themed Unreal Tournament clan!
Hail and Kill, Cronos!

This is a message I received early this morning from one of the UKās most experienced, savvy and respected financial traders. Someone I have come to know and trust for the last 25 years.
10-year bond yields are now almost 4.5pc - up some 50 basis points over the last month.
30-year yields this morning went above 6pc - a 28-year high.
Yet the UKās political and media class continues to focus on party posturing and folksy rhetoric, ignoring the slow-motion disaster that has been happening on the UKās sovereign bond markets for at least the last 18 months - a disaster that will inevitably, unless we drastically change course, turn into a fully blown market meltdown.
At that point, the UK government wonāt be able to borrow enough money to finance our already spiralling debt interest bill.
Britainās financial management will be taken over by overseas technocrats - that will be the condition of additional borrowing, to maintain the basic functions of the state, as happened in Greece and Italy back in the early 2010s and here in Britain 50 years ago this year (when we were forced in 1976 to apply to the IMF for a bailout).
The austerity then imposed on Britain would make 2010-2019 feel like a picnic - far, far worse than it would be if we took serious action now to control our public finances.
Lower-income households would suffer most - and there would be serious damage done to the UKās already rapidly-fraying social fabric ā¦.
I have been warning about these looking fiscal dangers publicly, in my newspaper columns and elsewhere, since at least early 2024.
Doing so hasnāt been easy or fun. I have been dismissed and derided by numerous economists, āeconomistsā, officials and policymakers - as well as lots of journalists.
I absolutely donāt want a disastrous 1976-style outcome - which is why Iāve taken the blows and issued the warnings.
The state is too big. Public spending is out of control. Our fiscal rules are a convenient nonsense - designed to kick the can of financial reality into the future. We need to get real ⦠and take bold action to tame the growth of spending, push back a now totally over-bearing state and snap the British economy out of todayās high-tax-high-borrowing-low-growth doom loop - the result of myopic, counter-productive policy-making by successive governments for the last decade and more ā¦
Other prominent economists who agree with me - ie who are financially-literate, can read a yield curve, have a passing interest in economic history and who understand the dangers of some 80pc of UK government borrowing going on debt interest as it currently is - need to chuck ācareer riskā in the bin, and start saying publicly what so many of them have, for quite a while now, only had the bottle to say to me in private ā¦

Silly line from Burnham on "taking back control" being synonymous with nationalisation. Do ordinary people have more control of their NHS options or how they can buy a car and insurance for it? A market economy is much more democratising than state power.
The propaganda for the mass mārdering communist Khmer Rouge shares a striking visual similarity with Antifa propaganda.
We should view all of these with the same shock and disgust as we do for Nazi symbols.
Why don't we?
Labour's plan to end democracy:
1.) Move to the extreme Left to appease Green voters.
2.) Open up "safe routes" to import millions of loyal voters.
3.) Give full voting rights to migrants and non-citizens.
4.) Replace FPTP with PR.
5.) Secure a de facto one-party system.
Followed his advice today.
I bought 50 tins of Alphabetti Spaghetti. So when the Electro magnetic pulse from a 1000 Megatonnes of nuclear weapons turns the power off, I can still write Wes Streeting is a cunt.
If the Right does (by some miracle) win the next election, it must come to a cross-party agreement to proscribe the Labour Party and the Fabian Society as a subversive authoritarian Communist terror group.
