I need to listen to songs not written by Dragonforce

Lock up your daughters, lock up your wives.
Lock up your locks then run for your lives.
For the Devil's in the detail and the detail's always there.
You better bet your life to venture in the Devil's lair.

None can return from the edge you know.
Once you take that last step there's a path that's shown.
To the eye of the storm and the cusp of death.
Can you save our souls in time?

While the Lord of Pain has his minions fly.
We shall hide in the shade our deceptions lie.
With his back turned to nothing he will praise the sky.
We shall kill a God you and I.

A blade forged of life that has yet been spent.
Courage forged from tears we are yet to shed.
If we aim for freedom can you see our mark.
We aim beyond the sky.

Turn it up!

The days of sitting huddled under blankets late at night so I could play Pokemon with the sound on, nowadays I'm an adult and can do that kind of stuff during the day (cause I have working headphones now)and it's only been recently that I actually heard the full soundtrack of a handheld game. Normally I listen to the first 4-5 tracks (equal to about 3-4 hours: Title theme, town theme, battle theme, dramatic cutscene theme, boss theme) before I finished the first session of play then don't bother with the volume from then on. The exception being Golden Sun: The Lost Age, where I had working headphones, a somewhat rare commodity in my life (I tended to buy very cheep ones which don't last long), since then it's been a steady succession of more and more titles, from one or two GBA games, to a dozen DS titles, to pretty much every 3DS game I've played to date.

There are many games which have great songs in them that I just missed out on cause I didn't have the gear and someday (with help probably from speed runs and pirated OSTs) I'll hear them.

Duck Tales has such a beautiful soundtrack ;-;

Rehashing

I was recently informed, and by informed I mean: read on the internet, that James Masters played the villan in the live action Dragonball movie. Which, while a terrible movie, I might be tempted to watch ut again, if only to mourn the passing of James Masters' acting career.

Something else that might make me watch this tripe again would be a thing called a riff track (in short a re-dubbing of a film that in most cases is done for comedic effect or just ti mae it bearable) the only one of this movie I know is done by the group Team Four Star (also known for their abridged series of the Dragonball anime).

So that movie I might watch again, but nothing could ever make me watch Remember the Titans evrr again.

P.S. I watched that movie 4-5 times through out high school career, never again.

Dr Arc

My special talent, if it can be thought of as one, and as long as no one else has it, is that I can remember pretty much any story, mainly of TV shows I've watched. Stargate SG1 for instance, in my head I have several overlapping graphs: Earths technology over time, the over arching story points of each season and the series at large, and where each episode falls on each season's general story arc.

The story arc graph I've noticed is actually something almost every TV series from that time did. Drop hints or reasons to go do things this season then have very little on those hints for 5-7 episodes, then something is found that leads to something major that re-exemplifies the hints/reasons from the beginning of the season and gives them an end goal.

This goal won't be pursued constantly, normally the next episode is a search that turns up nothing. Wait another 5-6 episodes and have a few mentions but never find much. Then find something big. Act on it. Have the finale where it's resolved then rinse and repeat until all Goa'uld have been eradicated from the galaxy and the Jafa are free.

Supernatural follows this guide to a T, with much of the later seasons main plot arcs happening around Sam and Dean who only manage to step in at the end once they find a place to stand and fight. It's part of what makes it a great show. Have a few episodes of the Winchesters tooning about vanquishing demons then they either get told or find the magic bullet, then it's right back to tooning about until the climax. If you have a weekly show you don't want to have all the plot in one episode, because if anyone misses it they won't be able to keep up with the story (except for the finale, go nuts there).

A show not following this (and I think suffering because of it (as well as a few other reasons (bad directing, poor story telling, hand holding the audience and telling them everything rather than believing the audience can follow their story and pick up on subtle things))) is Doctor Who, who's most recent seasons have increasingly been trying to appeal to a broader audience and reduce the barrier of entry (by blatantly stating absolutely every single character development and story beat (last season's inclusion on the short intro to each episode with Amy's voice explaining specifically who the Doctor is is an example of this)).

But now I'm just off topic, my point was I can tell you the plot of any episode of many good TV shows just from the episode title and the first few seconds. Neat huh?


P.S. You may think I'm abusing those brackets, but no, that's just how I roll

P.P.S. It's either nested brackets or nested footnotes, pick your poison
