American Elections '08

Man

So amazing.

Obama is a BLACK PERSON. Stop and really think about that for a minute or two.

Obama IS A BLACK.

This is one of the most historic elections in American history!

*half-black

Whoosh

EDIT: But yeah, I do understand how big of a deal this is. How long have African-Americans been fighting for their rights?
All those years of civil-rights movements have finally paid of. Incredible..

Why was Jesse Jackson crying btw? I thought he was against Obama, at least to begin with. Tears of sadness or joy, I have no idea.

Don't forget that angst doesn't simply mean the teenage pains you're probably thinking about, but any type of anxiety/anguish.

So cheer up guys and look at the bright side of life lolol

Well, Asa is really sick....

Community History

Huuuur it's been a while.

I guess I started roaming around communities at the age of 12, when I first heard of Game Maker. I came across a post in Gaming World that led me to RPG Maker, and then after messing around a bit I came across Kobra's Realm, which is basically my internet birthplace <3.
Soon KR started taking a turn for the worse and all of a sudden this site called Omengate Sanctum appeared and I joined that, leading to Township Games after a few months (or was it a year?). Then THAT died and I wandered into RPG RPG Revolution which is more or less my main RM place these days. All the while I was semi-active at GW, often making shitty posts which got me warned in total at least a dozen times (I was never banned, strangely, except for that GW Prank Day thing).

From GW I found out about this place thanks to all the hype/drama around it, so I joined and here I am.

I'm currently on a game-making hiatus and am thinking about leaving the "business" forever (or at least RPG Maker as it's not to my liking anymore - my love for RPGs is turning into a love for point-and-click adventure games). And no, I never released anything thanks to having about a billion different ideas and never being able to implement any of them.

I've just got into The Cure. They're nice. :)
(Note how I said too much)

Also, don't assume that you necessarily know the "Angst" level of bands you're not familiar with/have only heard one radio single of/don't actively listen to.

My brother listens to tons of the angsty rock bands listed so I hear those crappy songs blaring from his room all day. I don't "actively" listen to them, yeah, but it's kind of hard to ignore THOSE FUDGING LACUNA COIL AND MCR TRACKS AT FULL VOLUME :( :(

EDIT: A good 50-60% of what I listen to is mainstream or borderline-mainstream stuff, by the way. (At least here in the UK)

The Hand In Feeds is my favourite NIN song too. And yes, that's not saying much about NIN as a whole. ::)

Continuing:
Fujiya & Miyagi - Ankle Injuries: Chill-out stuff.
Gnarls Barkley - Who Cares?: ...you probably know this one.
Jaga Jazzist - Animal Chin: Awesome post-rock/jazz stuff, definitely worth a listen. Although I prefer "Lithuania", but I couldn't find a youtube vid.
Jamiroquai - Planet Home: It'd be impossible to pick out THE BEST Jamiroquai song because they're pretty much all bloody awesome; however, I tried. =)
Joy Division - Transmission: Hellz yeah, Joy Division
Klute - Phone Call: Melodic Drum & Bass.
Kyoto Jazz Massive - Stargazer: More jazz, and man this is amazing

Okay this is getting a bit tedious now so I'm going to stop linking from now on. You can search for videos yourself :<

Ladytron - Playgirl
Maximum the Hormone - Buikki Kaesu!!! (or something)
MEN WITHOUT HATS - SAFETY DANCE YES
Michael Gray - The Weekend
Moby - Porcelain
Mute Math - Chaos
Mylo - EVERY FRIGGIN SONG BY THIS GUY SERIOUSLY.
Reno Project - Same here. It's an amazing album, and the best part is how it's totally utterly FREE (yay Jamendo)
Royksopp - So Easy. I love my chill-out <3
Sam Sparro - Too Many Questions
Stereolab - Ping Pong is my favourite probably.
The Cure - In Between Days
The Little Ones - Ordinary Song
The Prodigy - Poison
The Strokes - Take It or Leave It
Tokyo Police Club - Nature of the Experiment
Yellow Magic Orchestra - Pretty much my favourite band. Same as Mylo and Reno Project.

If I were to criticize peoples' lists I'd say you guys have too much angsty rock music seriously gerroutofit

Yay lists! Couldn't you guys give descriptions or at least link to Youtube videos or something?

Ayabie - Shine: Visual-kei yay
Beck - Loser: How can you not love this one
Bloc Party - Hunting for Witches: Nothing much to say here.
Buckethead - Population Over-ride: Title-track for my favourite guitar album ever.
Calvin Harris - Vegas: When I goooo to Veegaaaaaas (tough choice between this and Love Souvenir, but this is more representative of the rest of his album while LS is just crazy-cool chill)
Cee-Lo - The Art of Noise: Soouul machine
Daft Punk - Face to Face: Really close to being my favourite non-YMO song.
Depeche Mode - Policy of Truth: Badass.
Disturbed - Stupify: I am hardly a fan of Disturbed but I have to admit this is amazing.
Earth, Wind & Fire - September: Hehehe. Guess where I first heard this song
Electric Six - Synthesizer: Lyrical favourite man it is AMAZING you must listen to this
Faith No More - Evidence: Video makes me laugh but whatever this is groovy.
Faker - This Heart Attack: Guilty pleasure.
Fatboy Slim - Santa Cruz: Simply amazing, really.

I haven't even gone through 1/4th of my whole music library so the rest can wait till later I suppose.
