[COLOR=DarkOrange]If I (if your willing to let me call myself that) read the letter 'I' or 'i' one more time I *shoots self* Anyway, your post is long and boring, and therefore had difficulty holding my attention. John Lennon, when I hear that name I do think of the beatles, though I am never sure >_> I never listened to the beatles. As a 21st century digital boy I prefer to leave the past in the past. Anyway, your psychological babble fills me with distraught. I wish not to partake in a talk of such proportions - think of me what you like, but these are things i prefer not to be concerned with. I am the type to mindlessly content myself with the terror of life and brush off the obvious plagues of my ways. Why? Because no matter how long I sit in a yoga position, I can't get my soul to float out of my body ;) probably cuz MTV got those songs stuck in my head ans distracted me :p In any event, thinking about it makes me cry, so i'll stay blissfully ingnorant till 2012 and laugh when we all die. :D [CENTER][B]Erode[/B] Time wearing away Ever expanding crevice Planet sifts and sinks[/CENTER][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Copycatalyst]LOL You think I want pity. That's cute. You also assume this is all I am. That's also cute. You also assume you know exactly what I am feeling or what I am saying in each line I've written. Cute deux. Well, you know, Lennon died for what he knew, as did Jesus, and so will I. No one will listen and the matrix keeps going, you see? [/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Never said you wanted pity, I'm forcing it on you. As for if I assume this is all you are - yeah, I probably do. I know that when i was doing this it was all i was. You can say you're not me - but then aren't we all one mind? i'll let you decide. As for if I know what you're feeling - no, that I don't care about. i find it funny that for the kind of person who I would have thought put communication at the forefront of importance, you could be so poor at it. BTW, I don't even know who Lennon is. don't assume i'm very educated - I am no thinker. [CENTER][B]Below Ice and Wind[/B] Somber and cold, I sank my head, For winter?s never gunna end. I saw the river of life freezing As heaven turned to icy sand And scattered all across the land.

[COLOR=DarkOrange]erm... graduation year? I'm 15 and about to become a junior. 2007 is [i]this[/i] year, pal. It means I'm [i]up to date[/i] (you know, since it was 2006 until January 1st) and yes, I'm into the young-looking anime gals (the gal in my avi is 13) but since I'm only 15 it's not much of a problem yet >_> Your image says you like Ren and Stimpy and dumb quotes >_>[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]M, I almost feel sorry for you. While I agree with you on some of these points, it feels like you simply wallow in disdain toward humanity's awry walk. I mean, it's okay to be conscious and worried, but don't drown yourself in it. If you die whining you'll never make a difference. I think you need to see the movie [B]Mind Game [/B] >_>[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]I was thinking about starting something like this, but had no chance. Anyway, I think the person above me is trying to show that they are a confident terrorist and that they are trying to scare people by bringing up the image of the infamous Kuja, one of the OB's greatest villans.[/COLOR]

[quote name='Premonition][COLOR=Navy']Me too. If I did tell them, I would also tell them that most of those anime nerds love rock music. Not poiting at anybody though. *cough2007digitalboycough*[/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange]You are full of wrong. Anime fans aren't usually into rck, they're usually into Linkin Park and Evanescence who are alone their own genre called '**** anime fans go crazy for.' Now, there are a good little slice of anime fans who are into 'rock' but i am not one of them. I am into metal and anything with the prefix prog- or post-. As for a forum being a guilty pleasure - not me. I always talk about my forum life with friends. Then again, I talk about gay sex with my friends, so I might just be crazy.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]I have a ton of journals. Almost all of them come from a period of about 1 1/2 years that ended around a year ago. The biggest one is the datalog. On my computer i was keeping a dates journal under the title of 'datalog' entries. At first, i was just using it to catalogue inportant events and record the groth of my DVD collection over time. By the 7th, thoug, I forgot about it for a long time. Later, though, I picked it up and began doing one every day or so, sometimes twice a day. Whats strange is, it feels like I had been doing them for a long time, and when you read them it gives that feeling, but it was only around 2 months. Some time later i reinitiated it under a new alias. It said 'hello friend' instead of datalog and ran around the same amount of time. I've also got a composition notebook that I used as a journal, but the biggest one is what I called my picture journal. basically, it's this huge spiral notebook labelled 'the bad book'. It's full of all sorts of random crap - rants, poems, but most of it is pictures. And most of those pictures are pornographic. Pretty much none of it is hetero porn either >_> going with whichever gender I was in the mood for. This and other books frighten me greatly, so I hide them in my closet along with other strange things from that time period.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Copycatalyst]life lumbers loud scraping aching proud killing everyone around listen love now strong valiant how kissing lying down you will not frown[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Yeah, that poem is pretty much ass, straight up. the rhymes are forced and bland and the nonsensical lyrics feel thrown together.

[quote name='Sara][color=#b0000b']"Bonus points" are just as valid when they're acquired after class and don't interfere with other people's learning.[/color][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange]>_< No one in my class was learning anything. And anyway, it wasn't about special points, it was about me being bored and trying to derail the class into meaningless conversation because I don't give a damn >_> ever (tis why I did nothing the 4th quarter lol)[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Damn you, Clurr! j/k [B]Band[/B]: Green Day [B]Song[/B]: Working Class Hero Meh. I can?t stand how they don?t have any focus on the music really, just on the lyrics. I mean, that?s what they were going for, but it?s just him saying ?oh, **** sucks for people? basically. What I don?t get it, is that the song is about the working class hero, but it?s trying to help the Darfur conflict. The hell? Anyway, it?s pretty disappointing. I like Green Day, but this is lame. [B]Band[/B]: Sum 41 [B]Song[/B]: We?re All To blame [B]Album[/B]: Chuck Here?s a message I can appreciate. The music is good, the vocal work is good, and it?s full of ferocity. If you?re going to write a song about the fallacy of society, do it like this. This is easily the best sum 41 song as well, and surprisingly heavy for them. Melikes. [B]*switches on Pandora Internet Radio for the song 1989 by MSI*[/B] [B]Band[/B]: Rosetta Stone [B]Song[/B]: Come Hell or High Water [B]Album[/B]: Adrenaline Deluxe A pretty cool eighties-style techno-industrial song. Somewhere between NIN and Bauhaus, both of which I can listen to, but only on occasion. [B]Band[/B]: Mindless Self Indulgence [B]Song[/B]: Shut Me Up [B]Album[/B]: You?ll Rebel to Anything (As Long as it Isn?t Challenging) I think I talked about this before somewhere. A fun, addictive, cool song with awesome lyrics and one of my all time favorite music videos. [B]Band[/B]: Lordi [B]Song[/B]: Rock the Hell Outta You [B]Album[/B]: Get Heavy HAHAHAHA! This is so bad. First, these guys are the biggest GWAR wannabees ever, but they will never match the awesomeness of GWAR nor ever come close to it. Not only that, but they pretend to be brutal rockers, but IT?S A TRAP! I?ve read the lyrics - they?re a ****ing Christian rock band. RUN!!!! [B]*switch to what do they know?*[/B] [B]Band[/B]: Mindless Self Indulgence [B]Song[/B]: Shut Me Up (MSV Still filthy Remix) [B]Album[/B]: Shut Me Up: Remixes Plus 3 An interesting take on the song. Not as good as the regular version, but still cool. Much more bogged-down but with added porn-beat. [B]*later*[/B] [B]Band[/B]: Amen [B]Song[/B]: Liberation For? [B]Album[/B]: Death Before Musick Intro to the album. A true intro among intros. [B]Band[/B]: The Mars Volta [B]Song[/B]: Vicarious Atonement [B]Album[/B]: Amputechture This song?s interesting. It?s by no means on e of the band?s best songs, but it has certain things about tit that are cool. For instance the first few minutes of solo are nothing like the type of solo usually present in a Mars Volta piece - actually that can be said about the whole song. It does use their usual style and tone, but it has a very different formula. I think that?s the coolest part of the album - the extensive experimentation even if it fails in some places. [B]Band[/B]: Agalloch [B]Song[/B]: Not Unlike the Waves [B]Album[/B]: Ashes Against the Grain I talk about this song so often I couldn?t possibly add onto it. [B]Band[/B]: Isis [B]Song[/B]: Syndic Calls [B]Album[/B]: Panopticon See: any other song from this album I?ve done [B]Band[/B]: System of a Down [B]Song[/B]: B.Y.O.B [B]Album[/B]: Mesmerize By no means the best from the album, but still a pretty cool song. This is ideal for head banging and screaming, and it?s always fun to play really loud while playing halo 2 with your buddies. [B]Band[/B]: The Mars Volta [B]Song[/B]: Vermicide [B]Album[/B]: Amputechture [B]Band[/B]: Opeth [B]Song[/B]: to Rid the Disease [B]Album[/B]: Damnation Another of the chilled-out but interesting tracks from the album. This is my least favorite of them though. The main reason for this is that the bass and guitar riffs get rather repetitive throughout this song. On most of this album there?s a lot of interchanging, but this song has a lot less of it. They went for a bit of an eerie vibe with this one, and it works, though it just isn?t quite as good as the rest of the amazing album. Nice solo, if brief. [B]Band[/B]: The Mars Volta [B]Song[/B]: Roulette Dares (the Haunt of) [B]Album[/B]: De-Loused in the Comatorium This is probably my all-time favorite album, meaning every song on there is completely excellent. Other than the insert songs, this is my least favorite song on the album, but it?s still a great song. I can?t say much about it since it varies at a lot of points in parts I like and parts that annoy me. This song is better when I?m in a certain mood, but otherwise I just can?t get into it as much as the rest of the album. [B]Band[/B]: Dragonforce [B]Song[/B]: Revolution Deathsquad [B]Album[/B]: Inhuman Rampage Dragonforce is infinitely excellent, and naturally this song follows suit in their awesomeness. These guys are my brother?s favorite band and he can listen to them indefinitely without getting bored. He often plays WoW or any 360 game with their first album on loop all day (sometimes just the song Valley of the Damned on constant loop >_

[quote name='Wet Cement][COLOR=DarkOrange']To get away from the trend of really bad, overlong poetry, [/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange]I've been waiting for a 5th head to pop up and say something like this for a while XD I will read your story when I have a flurry of free time. [CENTER][B]Flow [E][/B] Over rocks and through cracks The water always runs; Ever flowing on toward the end, Over the edge of the world And falling away into the void Just like life continues onward Without pause or time to think, Pulling thoughts and memories Toward the final absolution Off the surface of reason.[/CENTER] [/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Sara][color=#b0000b]Okay, yeah, that's alright. One thing you might want to put some more thought into is your speech bubbles. You switch fonts a [i]lot[/i], which is kind of disconcerting, and the placement is sometimes confusing. In the fifth panel (for example) it looks like Death is asking his question before the other guy says his bit. I do like the idea of special colors for different characters, but it's not very consistent. Death is that dark purple/red color for a while, but then he goes black again.[/color][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]yes, Death was origionally red and he switched to black right after the hour break. I can' only assume this is because he was in a blood-rage before hand >_> in any event, I agree that the speech bubbles need work. It's confusing because the origional comic is more spread out and I'e been fusing a lot of the boxes which becomes confusing.[/COLOR]

[quote name='Sara][COLOR=DarkSlateGray']and I think it's funnier than the other one (which just seems to be about mindless violence, which isn't my thing).[/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Oi, the first comic is, but the second one is completely non-violent so it is far more enjoyable, and also it shows that the first was not just a one-shot. This comic actually does get pretty damn good as it goes along... I just finished comic 2, so at least give it a look.

[COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Band[/B]: Mindless Self Indulgence [B]Song[/B]: Bed of Roses [B]Album[/B]: Mindless Self Indulgence I only just discovered most of the tracks from their first album since they aren?t as findable. They have a far more industrial, early NIN kind of vibe. In any event, I?ve quickly come to love this song. Even though it?s pretty angst lyrically, I like the tone and the music is stellar. It?s interesting seeing how this evolved into the sound they have in other albums. I think they took themselves a lot more seriously on their first album. [B]Band[/B]: Ayreon [B]Song[/B]: Day Eight: School [B]Album[/B]: The Human Equation This is the song that got me into Ayreon. It?s awesome, powerful, and fun as hell to duet with my little brother. Yes, the lyrics are pretty damn cheesy, but it gives them a charm. This is a great song to scream to and enjoy the artiness in the combination of metal and orchestra. Probably my favorite on the album. [B]Band[/B]: Coheed and Cambria [B]Song[/B]: A Favor House Atlantic [B]Album[/B]: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 Once more, the song that made me discover the band. I was young and not even into music, but this song was so awesome I couldn?t help but love it. It?s funny because this is definitely their most pop song, and the whole reason I like this band these days is for their more boogie songs, so it?s funny to think that this was my first one. The lyrics are addictive, the music is fun, and it makes you wanna dance and sing along. [B]Band[/B]: Tenacious D [B]Song[/B]: Wonderboy [B]Album[/B]: Tenacious D So? this is the greatest and best band in the world, and if you don?t like this song you have a clearly defective brain. It is rock brilliance packed into a tale of great adventure and importance. [B]Band[/B]: Isis [B]Song[/B]: Wills Dissolve [B]Album[/B]: Panopticon This song is rather interesting and one of the coolest songs on the album for every reason a song can be good - it just is. It?s all-around a cool and intriguing listen. [B]Band[/B]: Agalloch [B]Song[/B]: You Were But A Ghost In My Arms [B]Album[/B]: The Mantle This is probably my favorite song on the album. Like I Am The Wooden Doors, it is one of the heavier tracks on the release, but since I have my qualms with the other song, this one pulls ahead. Even so, while I have no doubt that this is a great song and a great album, it can?t even touch certain songs on Pale Folklore and Ashes Against the Grain. The singing in this song is kind of awkward as well. [B]Band[/B]: Opeth [B]Song[/B]: Hope Leaves [B]Album[/B]: Damnation Very calm, relaxed, comber piece. It is as the title suggests - the sound and feeling of the loss of hope. Like the rest of the album it is very pretty and a good listen. [B]Band[/B]: Type O Negative [B]Song[/B]: I Know You?re ****ing Someone Else [B]Album[/B]: Origin of the Feces I could go on and on about how disappointing this album is and how disappointing this band has become, but I won?t otherwise, this is by far the best song on the album. While I do usually enjoy Type O?s lengthier tracks, I think this one just all-around takes too damn long to get anything done. When it does get to the cool, fun part it?s, well, cool and fun, and there are parts of it that are great, but as a whole, it could have used less droning. Either way, not a terrible song, but nothing Type O has ever done compared to the Bloody Kisses album, and with the way they?re going, I doubt they?ll ever match it. [B]Band[/B]: Mastodon [B]Song[/B]: Pendulous skin [B]Album[/B]: Blood Mountain I talked about this song in pretty good detail in one of my other threads, so I won?t get into it too much here, but it is a plain awesome song. I?d love nothing more to lay on my roof in a warm summer day and listen to this through my ipod. Beautiful? [B]Band[/B]: Agalloch [B]Song[/B]: A Desolation Song [B]Album[/B]: The Mantle [B]Band[/B]: Franz Ferdinand [B]Song[/B]: Come on Home [B]Album[/B]: Franz Ferdinand What?s with all the sad, pretty songs? [B]Band[/B]: Bad Acid Trip [B]Song[/B]: Habits of Clay [B]Album[/B]: Lynch the Weirdo Ah, here we go! This band needs a lot more attention than it gets! This is also one of my favorite songs by them. The lyrical message is naturally about the fallacies of society and the human mind and such, which is always cool and the lyrics are well-written. The best part though is the dream-like guitars and acid trip feel to fit their name. [B]Band[/B]: Pearls and Brass [B]Song[/B]: Boy of the Willow Tree [B]Album[/B]: The Indian Tower This is the fastest and shortest song on the album, as well as a good old rock-out song. As always, the riffs are above average, the tempo changes and time-signature changes are brilliantly orchestrated, and the bass and guitar mesh together perfectly. This is another one that I feel awkward listening to and not standing up and moving about or playing some video games with. Another band that needs it?s dues. [B]Band[/B]: Coheed and Cambria [B]Song[/B]: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 [B]Album[/B]: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 When I bought this album, I had no idea what to expect. I?d only heard A Favor House Atlantic, and was looking at the lyrics quizzically. I was blown away immediately; this song is epic in every way and one of the best by the band/on the album. It?s got a lot placed into 8 minutes, but it never feels like it could?ve been better as separate songs and it always stays true to what it is, which a lot of longer Coheed songs don?t do. The ending is an ultimate cry of awesome. The feeling of listening to this at full volume while gaming is amazing. [B]Band[/B]: At the Drive-In [B]Song[/B]: Fahrenheit [B]Album[/B]: This Station is Non-operational It?s hard for me to decide if I like this band or not. They are post-hardcore, which means a lot of their crap is real emo sounding and annoying, but on the same coin they have quite a few cool songs. This is one of the cool songs and has been stuck in my head it?s fair share of times. Most of the songs I?ve heard from their first album are pretty cool. [/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]I've got 2 for ya. The first is a webcomic I was illustrating and had plans for, but deided that without Photoshoppiness it wasn't worth the shot... it's a webcomic about heavy metal and gaming. this is an attempt to explain the non-satanic nature of metal gone horribly wrong... [url=http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b269/MetalSonic700/comicthingy.png][B]Comic One[/B][/url] This oe is both old and new. My brother and I both have a few extremely long-running stick figure comic series that we've been drawing for years. The best of them all, though, was my brother's series abot a homicidal angel named Vash who is trying to get his halo and is roommates with death (or Jack as he is called). I will warn in advance that it is violent and bloody, but still fun. I only created the computerized version 2 days ago.

[QUOTE=Fyxe][size=1]Since my character needs to find her way to Esper Hall, I just want an idea of how she's getting there. Do we start off finding the bus? And if so, how are our characters going to know how to find it? Ah man, summer RPGs.

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Holy crap, it's been a while! Anyway, of over the course of the past 3 weeks or so I've been listening to pretty much nothing but MSI. I have become addicted to their music. I have like 35 of theirs songs on my youtube favorites and every few days theres a new group of them I listen to most. My favorites right now are probably [B]Pay For It[/B], [B]1989[/B], [B]Futures[/B], [B]Bring the Pain[/B], [B]Tight[/B], [B]What Do They Know[/B], [B]Straight to Video[/B], [B]Shut Me Up[/B], and [url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=xBiAx7h4Q5c][B][COLOR=DarkOrange]Bed of Roses[/COLOR][/B][/url]. (will update with links)[/COLOR]

[quote name='Wet Cement][COLOR=DarkOrange']Ok, I have a settings question here. What exactly is Esper Hall supposed to look like? Is it set up like a collage campus, with a main building and a series of other buildings in the same 'campus', or is it more like a little town? Or is it just one big complex? Also, what kind of architecture is it, your standard, oppressive red-brick square-buildings, or something more Victorian?[/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Well, I had a pic in the sign-up, but it wasn't too specific. The way I've been imagining it is multiple large buildings that look sort of like a modern university that would be situated in the middle of a grassy area surrounded by trees (like x-men academy if it were multiple buildings)There's one rod leading out, and it is not a very well-worn road. @ Prem: remember Prem, this rp may be onscure, but you can't just do whatever you want. I may not have erase cards or anything, but don't think I can't trap you in a black hole or suck your mind into a mental vortex if you screw around too much.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Band[/B]: Opeth [B]Song[/B]: In My Time of Need [B]Album[/B]: Damnation This is a simply beautiful and totally well-written song that I always find is very calming and mood-setting. It?s not depressing, but it does being about a self-reflection, which to me makes it a powerful song. I think just about anyone can relate to this song at the low points I your life (well, really low) but it is more a bringer of hope than a harbinger of sorrow. [B]Band[/B]: Isis [B]Song[/B]: Backlit [B]Album[/B]: Panopticon The album that inspired the rp. Interestingly enough, I?ve owned this album since like October of last year and until about a month ago I never liked it. Oceanic, the band?s album released before this is one of my favorite albums and In the Absence of Truth is also an amazing release, but I never found it in me to enjoy this album. Until I listened to it backward. Interestingly enough, I think the problem was that I always try to listen to albums all in one sitting. You can blame TMV for that. But the thing is, that isn?t necessary with Isis. Now, the first song on this album is pretty weak, so it would always leave me disgruntled for the rest of the album. Thing song is the second song, and listening to it on it?s own, it?s a damn good track that I let get overshadowed. It?s a pity, but I?m glad I managed to find out how excellent an album it is. In fact, it?s growing to become one of my favorites. [B]Band[/B]: Agalloch [B]Song[/B]: Falling Snow [B]Album[/B]: Ashes Against the Grain This is, hands down, the greatest song ever written, period. From start to finish it is powerful, moving, perfectly coordinated, brilliant in both technicality and soul, simply perfect. Even though this song is 9 minutes long, I never get sick of it. I?d consider this to be the most well-written song I?ve ever heard. [B]Band[/B]: Pearls & Brass [B]Song[/B]: The Mirror [B]Album[/B]: The Indian Tower I love this song for being a happenin? good time. This band is known for pulling off tons of sick riffs and stringing them together in a cool way. This is one of their fastest, most upbeat, psychedelic songs which is cool. The use of tambourine is awesome (if that is in fact tambourine) [B]Band[/B]: Tool [B]Song[/B]: Cold and Ugly [B]Album[/B]: Opiate The Tool EP Opiate is interesting because their future stuff is nothing like it. If you?ve heard Undertow you?ve got a pretty good idea of the style, but these songs are way shorter and probably more radio friendly. It?s still Tool, but it?s a far more angry and slightly angst Tool. I admire this song?s lyrics for admitting the singer?s weakness without sounding like a *****. Just a cool hard rock/alt-metal song. [B]Band[/B]: The Mars Volta [B]Song[/B]: Televators [B]Album[/B]: De-Loused in the Comatorium This is considered to be TMV?s ballad and it is a very interesting piece. It?s got a mellowed-out vibe that?s extremely chill while still being enough to keep your attention. It?s definitely one of the band?s less boogie songs, and yet it?s still really unique. One of Cedric?s most powerful performances, and if you ever needed further confirmation of Flea?s awesome bass skill then here it is. Awesome percussion as well. Serves as a great lead-in for Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt [B]Band[/B]: Coheed and Cambria [B]Song[/B]: Devil in Jersey City [B]Album[/B]: The Second Stage Turbine Blade Ah, my favorite overlooked prog-rock band. Even if this is one of their more? erm? ?emo? songs (stop giving me that damn look) it is still completely and thoroughly awesome. As one of the few who can accurately do Claudio?s voice (depending on throat conditions >_> he?s a squealy bastard) I naturally sing it overly loud from time to time. [B]Band[/B]: Opeth [B]Song[/B]: Ghost of Perdition [B]Album[/B]: Ghost Reveries This song is amazing in that it comes in fast, catches your attention, and carries it onward for 10 minutes without fail. The problem I?ve had with a lot of the older Opeth albums is that while they do have amazing technical ability and some of the most awesome riffs known to man, often times their song might be 10 minutes of just 4 different riffs at exchanging intervals. This song actually switches between all sorts of riffs, styles, sounds, covers the whole board, and takes less time to do things. Not only that, but unlike in many previous efforts, the transitions from heavy to soft are damn near seamless and perfect. The best part is simply that even if you do get lost in keeping track of what song you?re on, you can still have a blast. The thing I love about this whole album is that unlike the other ones which were simply black and overwhelming, this one is listenable without having to be sitting in total darkness writing angst poetry. [B]Band[/B]: Gorillaz [B]Song[/B]: Rock the House [B]Album[/B]: Gorillaz You a punk if you don?t like the Gorillaz rap songs. This is one of the sillier ones, but the rhymes are sick, and the trumpets are a cool effect. The repetitive chorus isn?t so much my style, but the piano stuff makes it for it in cool. Also if you haven?t seen the video, go to you tube and do so. Best music vid evar. [B]Band[/B]: Pearls & Brass [B]Song[/B]: I Learn the Hard Way [B]Album[/B]: The Indian Tower This is the one of the band?s two acoustic tracks on the album and both are incredibly interesting. This is the kind of song I never would?ve expected to enjoy, but I absolutely love it. The entire thing has a very eerie tone to it, which is strange because it is played very fast, but still manages to be really creepy. It gives the feeling of being in a swamp at night and just something really strange is going on. It?s a great song with a crazy vibe and really short too. [B]Band[/B]: Dream Theater [B]Song[/B]: Vacant [B]Album[/B]: Train of Thought This song is good, but there are several reason I can?t appreciate it too much. The song is cool in that it?s a piano-violin duet that sounds like a good lounge song or something and James LeBrie has a beautiful voice in it. Overall, it?s definitely a pretty song, but it?s really shallow, too. It feels like they had 3 minutes to spare and just wanted to get in a nice slow song as a sort of insert between fast songs. Io have no problem with this, since it works really well, but it?s hard to credit as a good song since it doesn?t seem like much effort was made. [B]Band[/B]: Tool [B]Song[/B]: 10,000 Days (Wings PT 2) [B]Album[/B]: 10,000 Days Meh. The more I listen to this album the more I can?t stand it - my repulsion just keeps building up. It simply isn?t very exciting or interesting. This song in particular gets points for great bass work but otherwise it?s just not very grabbing. Not to say that it isn?t a good song, just not great. [B]Band[/B]: Coheed and Cambria [B]Song[/B]: Everything Evil [B]Album[/B]: The Second Stage Turbine Blade One of Claudio?s best performances if just for the fact that the riff for the first half of the song is addicting and my favorite riff ever, if not the one that?s stuck in my head the most (all the damn time). I will just walk around just playing this thing in my head, lol. All-around great song. [B]Band[/B]: Omar A Rodriguez-Lopez [B]Song[/B]: Deus Ex Machina [B]Album[/B]: A Manual Dexterity: Soundtrack, vol. 1 From the soundtrack to Omar?s nonexistent movie. Honestly, I don?t like this album. It?s experimental and pretty cool at times, but it?s simply too experimental for my taste. There are 2 songs on here I do like, though, and this is one of them. Aside from the song title being one of my favorite terms, it is an extremely cool salsa jam with Spanish guitaring thrown in and some Spanish chanting that all forms together beautifully. I swear, I burst out laughing first time I heard it.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Rachmaninoff]Feh! I know you as a fellow RPGer and member of OB, that's good enough in my opinion. ;) Also....Meow? o_O Well that was interesting. Hehe, poor Brittany, she keeps getting picked on. Though now I suppose she'll get petted instead. lol[/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]lol, I couldn't help but imagine her as so adorable... when Delita picked her up I kept waiting for her to snuggle her ^-^ Also, I'm willing to sidestep that in my post Brittany wasn't even there :p everythings crazy in this place anyway, so it kinda fits.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Desbreko][color=#4B0082]Oh my. Geisha is looking pretty nice now. I'm really liking the black with the indigo on the front page -- more of that, please! The new sidebar background is awesome, now it just needs an updated banner to match. I'm actually liking this enough to start using it instead of OB Standard. P.S. People who post in size 1 font have no right to complain about anything being too small.[/color][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Same goes for me. I've always been repulsed by it, but looking at it now I'm seriousy considering making it permanent. So much more lively. [/COLOR]

Critique [M - L] [COLOR=DarkOrange]Prem, dude, no more of these one line poems. i thought they were t3h shit back when I was writing them, trust me, but they are really quite fruitless. My lyricless younger brother could write that crap. As for everything else, I would suggest you go over to the MT forum and read the sticky called O R G A S M. I think it would help you a ton. M, holy mother of fuckstick that is huge. I tried reading it, but honestly, I'm uninterested. All your works come across as rallying cries for deepening knowlege, and as a person already on that level, reading about how wrong myself and/or society is just has no effect on me. To some this may be ludacris or to some it may be a revelation, but to me it's just basic knowlege. [/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Premonition][B][COLOR=Navy]I tried that and it didn't work!>_O DigitalBoy, your life partner is lying![/COLOR][/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=DarkOrange]No, it's just that you are increadibly repulsive. I know for a fact that Tag works - how do you think I convinced her to marry me XD (actually, it was her idea - no kidding!)[/COLOR]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]to [B]Clurr[/B]: tis' pretty cool. It's interesting seeing you doing an easier to grasp poem. As always, I adore your prose. [B]M[/B]: much as I do love stream of conciousness, you'll have to wait till I'm insatiably bored before I'm wading through that. anywho, random rebellious nonsense...
