It makes me wonder if they even have QUALIFICATIONS in music to try to denounce an entire form of media just because they don't like it! Hell, I learned in my first year of my diploma course just how incredible music is! From ALL walks of life!

Now these pricks, silver spoon in ever orifice, DARE to ridicule an entire form of media! Their job is to EMBRACE music! There's music out there I don't like! It doesn't mean I try to dismiss it as not being music!

Unless it's rap.

Windwaker is one of my most favourite Actiony games I've played. A good combination of Graphic Style, Combat, Music, World Depth and Story. Story is Zeldaish but it was interesting.

I like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXGGvsHq6iA.
But probably because I adore folk music. It IS folk music, for people in the Andies. It's a strange Spanish meets Patagonia fusion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujEZQbBi ... re=related for the dark twist on the main theme.

Oh yes, that's a really lovely song, and fits the Island and it's people really well.

The staff credits is great too. I always wanted to hear this one live.

Geez, stop being so butthurts guys.

I like how it sums up the game very well. You think at the start it's just a Sea Shanty. Then after completion you hear the elements from each bit: The leaf things singing, the Song of Wind and Song of Earth. Very well done. I admire the Japanese for being so poetic in thinking.

All I can think of when I hear this song is torqouisARGHCANTSPELLYUSPELLCHCKERFAILME.

The fact that game music is discriminated against as being a lower kind of music is a valid thing to be annoyed about.

That said, barring the first few posts I don't see how us sharing links of music we like is being butthurt.

Okay, I like my landlord and landlady, but there's one thing that really aggravates me: they insist on using the microwave as a timer for something they're cooking in the oven. Even when the oven itself has a perfectly working timer.

So while they roast their Easter ham, we can't cook anything...until maybe 8pm. This is one instance where having a lesser rent due to technically boarding and just sharing a kitchen is a definite downside.

I just want to add that, in many cases particularly with older microwaves, this is a really good way to break a microwave. That energy needs to go somewhere and if there isn't some water inside to vibrate, other unexpected things might.

I thought Metacarfre was being ironic. Damn my good nature.

[Deedles]

He could be being ironic, and my reaction is currently making me look like a total twat, and extremely butthurt.

These will always be my two favourite video game music tracks. But I might be biased due to nostalgia and a love of Myst.

[JustAName]

Myst. Myyyyyyyyyyst. <3

[LogicSword]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv_iShnmYKU I think this is probably my favourite piece of orchestrated game music. I will no doubt think of something else in about five minutes' time.

And never take Met seriously.

I dislike the Britain/UK=ENGLAND association.
There are three other countries in the UK/Great Britain. Plz rmbr.

Just was in a long debate about if Negative Rep should be added too, and the main argument why it should be was "Because the forum should be mature enough to handle it." and basically started taking pot-shots at people who didn't agree with adding the Negative Rep system by saying things like "You have no faith in the community" "Do you think the community is immature?", which is besides the point. But they became so stubborn because all of a sudden it was a point to prove that the forum was mature enough to handle the Negative Rep system, but mature people don't click a button to give negative rep to someone when they disagree, mature people give constructive criticism!

Ravelry (a knitting/crocheting/spinning community site) has buttons like these on each msg board post - educational, interesting, funny, agree, disagree, love - and the phenomenon of the 'phantom disagree-er' (or Ph.D.) is one that causes a lot of message board wank. In some situations, it has resulted in passive aggressive cyber stalking/bullying, where one member follows another around the message boards disagreeing with all of their posts, regardless of content. The site eventually added the option for users to turn their button view off on their profile to try and cut down on the number of complaints from easily offended members. In the more mature groups there is a tendency to 'own your disagree' and explain it in a post if you think it merits explanation, but sometimes all you want to do is disagree and move on. Unfortunately, not everyone handles that well...

^ On a HoN suggestion I gave a reason why I thought a Teabag taunt would be a bad addition to the game. The author of the suggestion disliked me disagreeing with him and went to the effort of finding all suggestions I have ever made, even ones that should have stayed dead and voted against them. Saying something about equalibrium or whatever. (you need a certain #of Yes and a ratio of Yes:No before the game developers even look at your idea).
Yes, I agree, internet people generally are poop.

(Since stating the association of Teabagging is to rape/necrophillia the suggestion funnily stopped gaining support)

[theDreamer]

Great.

Can't work, feel like vomitting.

I have to stop being like this.

I don't know why I'm writing this on a public forum but fuck it. I figure I'm not painting you as the bad guy unlike some forumites you happen to dislike. This is all me.

I'm a bitch.

I've been an idiot the past few weeks. I've been all confused about what it is I actually want and have spent time hiding in Minecraft where people are nice to me and I don't have to think about real life. I'm sure you can relate, you've told me on a number of occasions that you are prone to escapism.

I've been all confused about... stuff. I looked into my future again and saw nothing. Not that I was without you, but rather that there was nothing. At all. I don't even know what I'm doing. I wasn't expecting to be here.

I would've contemplated suicide but the thought took too much effort. Why plan something when you can achieve it through inaction? Though now that I'm feeling a little better contemplating such things is easier.

A number of weeks ago you saw how completely filthy my room had become and had expressed concern about me possibly being depressed. I seemed to have improved but maybe that's not actually the case.

I couldn't even bother to clean when you came over. I didn't care whether or not you showed up and I didn't care if you were mad at me, because I didn't care about anything. Nothing was of consequence to me. This exam I have tomorrow that I have done no reading for still doesn't concern me.

It's not that I didn't feel for you. It's that I didn't feel for anything and it's wreaked havoc on my life.

Well now I've started to feel some stuff again and I've come to realize how stupid and cold and bullshitty I've been the past few weeks. I just wanted everything and everyone to go away, including you. Just leave me to the mess piling up in my room and my descent into apathy. I haven't even been able to take care of myself properly.

I've been really stupid. And now I think I've just fucked things up beyond repair. But I really shouldn't be making this about me, it's no excuse for my behaviour.

I've been selfish and cruel and I doubt I'll ever be able to make up for what I've done. I mean... you compared me to Cassidy.

I want you in my future. But I don't know if that'll ever happen now. All I do is fuck shit up. Everything was fine and then I got all weird and I'm liable to do it again. I suggest you leave now before I do any further damage. I really am just a crazy bitch.

I just hope someday you can be happy again.

I'm sure I'll worry all the forumites like I bloody always do and I'm sorry for causing them distress. I don't mean to. But I don't see how this can be fixed. We've tried so many things. You'd have to be willing to forgive me.
