Ask the next poster a question

I know I mention it a lot, but Mordremoth from Guild Wars 2 takes the cake. The composers manage to do "epic" without falling into the same old orchestral style as so many other pieces.

Same question.

Since I'm not sure if Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE's Universe Seth Theme is the final boss theme of that game, I'll say either Love Deterrence from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, The Horizon-Devouring Serpent from Bravely Default, or Akashic Record from Devil Survivor 2, since those are the first ones that come to mind. If I could, I'd love to link them, they're all amazing songs.

Let's change things up! Favorite emotional theme from a video game?

Ohhhhhh my god, He's My Dad.

I seriously can't listen to it without bawling like a little shit. It's one of those songs that are way sadder in context, but Jesus...

Same question?

I want to say Fallen Down. Every version of it is great.

But...

You know what song gets me even more? Untamed Heart. Seriously, listen to this.

Same question, I guess.

His Theme. Just... listen to it. It makes my heart burn with feels every time.

How often do you break the rules?

edited 23rd Feb '17 6:17:56 PM by TroperNo9001

Not very often. I try to be a good example.

How long do you sleep?

Usually between six or eight hours.

What is a fictional creature that you would never want hunting you down?^* i.e. A T-1000

A xenomorph, and I don't mean the ones from Aliens, I'm talking that one single walking killing machine from the first movie and Isolation. Fun to watch, but you best believe I'd be dead in seconds if I had to see one for real.

Do you listen to any podcasts?

I try to, but they usually exceed my attention span and I just end up listening to something else

What are you doing this morning?

I'm on my phone.

What do you think of the new seven planets?

Absolutely fascinating! I love space and the like, so I think it's really cool that scientists discovered some more planets that are potentially like our own! Well, discoveries like this have been made before, but SEVEN! Wow.

Thoughts on Outer Space?

It's glorious. I remember being really into studying the planets and the stars in 7th grade.

What do you think of the recent Pinterest "galaxy" fad?

Don't use Pinterest, never heard of it.

What's this about seven new planets?

edited 24th Feb '17 5:42:11 AM by PhysicalStamina

NASA found a nearby red dwarf with 7 Earth-like planets orbiting it, three of which are in the star's habitable zone.

What would be a cool proper name for that star?

Well, there's a star called Alcyone... How about Ceyx? Anyone familiar with Greek mythology will know what I mean.

Do you play any mobile games?

I have a bunch of Angry Birds, Uno, Temple Run, Fruit Ninja, and guessing games on my Kindle, as well as some free games and Minion Rush (Think Temple Run but with minions) on my phone.

How many meals a day do you have?

edited 24th Feb '17 7:18:04 AM by Weirdguy149

Two-ish. Living on a meal plan is ruthless.

Ever tried any modern VR tech out?

Yes! We went to Best Buy one day, and they were doing demonstrations of a VR headset (I think it was the Oculus Rift, but I don't remember for sure). I got a major headache, though.

Favorite So Bad, It's Good work?

Would it be cliche if I said The Room?

If you were a video game boss, what would your boss music sound like?

Probably a cross between classical music and other video game pieces, like Yoko Shimomura's work. Maybe like this, since I'd probably be less of a standard evil villain (at least from my own perspective). Also, I'd barely put up a fight, so I doubt climactic music would be appropriate.

Same question, because it's interesting.

There's actually a thread about this in Yack Fest! Here's my answer. I just love that creepy-yet-playful style.

If you were a video game character, what would your Limit Break be?

I'd like to think that I'd be a Recurring Boss with a different variant on the same theme each encounter. Also, menacing piano if possible.

An I Shall Taunt You-style quip that is painful enough to make the enemy keel over in agony.

How much of a character can you alter with a simple dialog rewrite?

x3 Literally just license out the Oliver remix of "Conchord" by Boys Noize and Siriusmo and you've got exactly what I'd want if I were a video game villain — thumping house beats over a real sinister synth line and swelling instrumentation and stuff.

(you can probably skip to about 1:45 for where it gets real good)

I could probably really easily flip the dynamic in Tiny and Big so that Tiny was the asshole trying to steal the pants from Big (who would, in turn, simply be trying to keep himself away from his homicidal brother with a laser in self-defense). That'd be akin to sacrilege, tho.

Similar question: if you were the hero in a movie, what would you want your leitmotif to sound like?

Something like this. Calm and thoughtful, and a bit elegant

You?

edited 24th Feb '17 1:04:31 PM by Cailleach

Something like this, creepy but floaty. I'd want to be Creepy Good.

Same question.
