Lone

ninXeno426

Hi Lone!!!That's awesome!!!

Washington state US. Our apples cannot be beat. How do you like those apples?! Home of Microsoft and Valve Software if you're into that.

Neomorph

Greetings from Sweden!! :D (if you ever wondered why the Neomorph is so pale)

ninXeno426

I'm not sure if we are known for anything special in SoCal(except for thinking SoCal is a state lol)

Neomorph- Ghost and some other pre/post Ghost music is happening over there and noticed here. Say hi to Pa Pa for me if you see him.

ninXeno426

Cool! Have you listened to Cult of Luna? Another big Swedish rock group. And if you like video games, I used to work for Machine Games who made Wolfenstein The New Order and The Old Blood.

Now work in the airline industry as a cabin crew for short/and longhaul flights so I've been to Chicago like 15-20 times, LA (Martina Del Rey, love Venice Beach) 6 times. 

Neomorph

I will dk lol

dk

Neomorph- I thought you might like Ghost especially after some of the threads that were heavy on religion.

Neomorph

I have to listen to more tracks from them and overall more thoroughly. A friend of mine speaks about the sense of high production values when listening to them. 

ninXeno426

Oh,I know Cult of Luna!Also In Flames,Opeth to name a few others.I didn't know you worked at Machine Games!That's pretty cool. Dice is Swedish,I think Starbreeze is too.Oh,can't forget At The Gates!Also the home of Alicia Vikander!

dk

I didn't expect to like Ghost but I am all in. Fantastic band. I had to warm up to it a bit initially.

Neomorph

Yeah DICE is the major game studio here behind titles such as the recent SW Battlefront and Battlefield 1 (both utilizing the frostbite engine which Mass Effect Andromeda runs on. 

Starbreeze is another studio behind Chronicles of Riddick EFBB and AoDA, The Darkness and Brothers: a tale of two sons.

Vikander is our most recent international actress and Academy Award winner (Danish Girl) haven't seen her act but she's super hot lol. Currently in a relationship with Fassbender btw. 

ninXeno426

Yep.For Vikander,I highly recommend Ex Machina.

Minimum Safe Distance

Houston , Texas .

Ex Machina was really good and unexpected- I am way behind in scifi movies.

Necronom IV

Here's another one from Sweden :)

Neomorph, where in Sweden are you located? I'm from the westcoast.

ninXeno426

An instant classic!Welcome Minimum safe distance!One of my best friends lives in Texas!

ninXeno426

Ah Necronom IV.I believe I've been neglecting to say the Late Great H.R. Giger is Swedish.

Necronom IV

Nah, Giger was from Switzerland :) We are famous for Volvo and Ikea. Would have been cool tough if Giger was Swedish :)

ninXeno426

Oh duuuh lol.I'm so embarrassed now lol!

Necronom IV

Haha dont be. It's a commom mistake :)

dk

nin- I share that- I was almost going to say The Human Centipede was Swedish before I found it was Danish. Honestly, I appreciate those movies because they are so unlike typical American films. Sorry if I am treading on thin ice here. Hopefully skins are thicker than ice.

Necronom IV

Noomi aka Elisabeth Shaw is Swedish. One of the reasons I cant stand her is because of the crappy accent.

ninXeno426

I was going to mention that,but I've already started that debate lol.

Goddamn Tropics in here

Another great post nin

Hello to all Alien fans from around the globe....

Im from just north of Birmingham in the U.K, not far from Big Dave I think ( Don't worry I won't steal your washing!)

Lone - My wife went to uni in Sterling and my company has offices in Scotland so I have many friends there

Neo - I've visited Stockholm many times, great city....

chli

Hello from Sweden (Stenungsund - west coast).

ninXeno426

Thanks Goddamn Tropics!It's great to see so many nationalities here.chli,you've got a few Swedish brothers here too!

chli

Yes, so I noticed. Sweden has relatively few inhabitants (10 milj.) but we seem to be well represented in this forum. Perhaps we are a scified country? :)
