"Maybe Black Mesa...that was a joke HA HA fat chance" makes it be Trogdor by lots
25 Feb 2008 ~ 9:37pm Zuntar I clicked on the "share" link in the video and my system friggin powered off!

No do not pass go, no do not collect $200, or nothing, powered down!

My system is not OC and has been stable for months, so linky is bad?!?!

26 Feb 2008 ~ 1:40pm rapture Portal song was very entertaining but I don't see how it will translate to a guitar piece without becoming totally unrecognisable.
26 Feb 2008 ~ 1:42pm Snarkasm What are you talking about? Those arpeggios in the background are all acoustic guitar. It's a direct translation.

That is part of the problem I think, it's boring.

The Trogdor however, comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTT.
27 Feb 2008 ~ 2:23pm Cyclonite Well, we could wait to reserve judgment until after we've played it.
27 Feb 2008 ~ 2:25pm Snarkasm Hey! There's a thought.

Also, Still Alive is about 3 billion x infinity times better than Trogdor, and it hurts me a little to say that.
27 Feb 2008 ~ 2:55pm rapture It was a very entertaining song but looking at what they were playing in that video jesus, whats fun about that?

I don't think it works.
