A bit late on this one, but hopefully the guy is still around. Nice, Squee. You handled this one brilliantly. Your going out and assembling (within a matter of days, probably) all you would need to replace their half-assed care was most likely the last thing they expected, given the spineless...

"Closing Time" - Leonard Cohen 4:00 AM, and I am feeling an apathy so intense that it almost breaks the boundary of word's definition. Mind is wandering, but is snagging on the lyrics "I just don't care what happens next / Looks like freedom, but it feels like death / It's something in between...

You continually mention this song, but I have almost no memory of it . . . Reviewing. Right; got it now. Interesting. Some significant influence from (or perhaps on) "Ghost Love Score" is evident in the first half, rendering "Ghost" somewhat less of an unprecedented track as I had first...

You know, if you are a buff for the newer style, and you have no absolute stance on whether the old incarnation is "terrible" or "great", I suspect that you may find the song "The Siren" to be right up your alley. One of their most overtly cool songs as far as solid guitars and creative...

They do rule, yeah. ^ _ ^ What has gained and held my favour is their ability to handle such a simple concept as key change and use it as a profound vehicle for the music. "Nemo" and "Ever Dream" are the prime examples here, and they basically operate on the same principle of investing 3/4 of...

Holy frigging hell, guy. :ohshit:

Why does that remind me of South Park? I definitely remember a similar gag involving Cartman . . . More ambitious than I; I've assembled a stack of lawn chairs in front of a roommate's door, but it was nothing that could not simply be lifted and transplanted in front of mine. :huh:

Leave him alone! :yell: Although, they could do some pretty hilarious things playing on Snake's age. Ability to change the in-game model for your Metal Gear sidekick to a wheelchair, standing by; a camo set with a hospital gown and a portable IV . . . :P Currently working through Devil May...

One more for Jimmeh's camp, and, to a lesser extent, L's. From a rational perspective (which, granted, may not have been the one the woman was using when she castrated her father <_<), Brigitte was in a situation that the justice system was ill-equipped to handle. Jimmeh? Agreed. For the...

Holy hell, that just blew my mind. :wacky: That would be a less frighteningly huge field of possibility if the instrument were known, at least. "H2 Exploration" - Hitman: Silent Assassin Was never absolutely certain what the "H2" in this soundtrack's title's was intended to signify, but...

Nice; this is something I have thought about often. I would have to go with remix of Chrono Trigger's "Battle with Magus" theme, by the name of "Devil Castle of Confusion" (depending on where you look, it seems <_<). Youtube's version is ugly in the bassline, but it gets the point across...

Alright, so hypothetically speaking, human civilization is coming to a close. It is not that difficult to imagine; perhaps fossil fuels drop entirely out of existence while the demand is still high, there is a brief period of chaos and whole countries' abilities to provide basic resources fail...

"Father & Son" -- Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Another place where Gregson-Williams contrasts his enormous orchestra with that lone acoustic guitar. He also does it in "Old Snake" . . . Works wonderfully in this case; one of the most emotional things on the soundtrack ("Here's To...

Right; I don't know whether this subject is about to broach much debate, but it seemed a tad . . . risqué for the general forums. :huh: Anyway, my interest lies specifically in the presence of elements in my own writing compositions that, while not overtly sexual (nothing so blatant as...

Bit of a bump here. Apologies, but at least it is relevant. Somewhat similar situation in Canada at the moment. It was unseasonably warm for a while, but as all spikes do, it dropped sharply around December, locking into a -45 Celsius average (windchill included) before leveling off to the...

"The Clandestine Dark Suits" -- Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII CC is most assuredly not the spiritual equal to Uematsu's original score for FFVII, but this track is a pretty decent remix of a piece that was originally quite stolid. That "follow the leader" effect running between the electric...

Nice. :smartass: That really does seem to be the most useful way to handle it; I too find it quite fulfilling when I am able to treat something our society takes extremely seriously with irreverence, particularly if the issue in question is as misguided as racism. Provided all the victimized...

Any topical enthusiasm I have for the holiday season emanates from childhood, and the way trivial toys and objects became profoundly special because of the ritual of anticipation surrounding their receipt. I certainly have none for the raging commercial psychopath called "The Christmas Season"...

Well, a remarkable number of people have already pinned the basic question of the thread, so additional input is pretty unnecessary. However, some of the analogies posted in the process were classic. :funnyface: A bit analogous to the Chrono Trigger situation, actually, in which one...

Sounds like you could talk about war veterans here, as well. In their case, this "merging into one" takes place without their approval, and this must sometimes lead to racist attitudes. I imagine that, among the company of confidants, there are more than a few Vietnam vets who express hate and a...
