Stop tuning into rap then. I don't know what music you're talking about, but you probably just keep falling into the wrong music.

Well, it's enough to make me hate it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

And as you can see here, I'm a very stubborn person who hates to rethink things. So I hate music.

[TalHex]

please don't throw music in with trash like rap... its just well... plain insulting... its like saying the background music for pong is the same as some of the pieces for Final Fantasy 12

[Randomness]

Art is a wonderful thing. People do all kinds of things, call it art, and delude themselves that someday others will agree, just because it happened a few times in history over a span of a decade or two

[TalHex]

rap is in my opinion compared to real music what would happen if you a ten year old who just started to learn the violin that day in a competition against someone who had been playing for around 50 years

[Randomness]

I'm assuming said 10-year old doesn't know how to collect forgotten (or not so forgotten, thats just harder) memories and use them... *imagines and winces*

EDIT:*points up at top of post* Post of the year.

That wouldn't help him at all, you're just making Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles references. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[TalHex]

it would be like trying to use somebody else's fingers for the same thing even if they could, so it would still sound incredibly bad

[Nitro Vordex]

I dunno, worked pretty well in FMA.

What with Ed's arm and leg. ;/

[TalHex]

why would the 10 year playing the violin have a mechanical arm and leg?

[Nitro Vordex]

No, the homonculus that had his arm and leg.

[Sord]

Randomness, if there were a large door from the basement to the first floor, there would be zombies in the basement.

If you want to save some of the goodies, you can try dragging a crate of parts into the elevator with you.

It appears as though Random got post-haxed.

It would seem so.

Zombies+FKL=?

Finish it.

[Nai_Calus]

Well, it's entirely possible to have a vocal cord injury that doesn't destroy one's ability to speak. Hell, most people already are at a stage where they can speak but can't sing for fuck.

And eh, my eyesight sucks as it is. Sure, I'd more or less have to give up the internet if I went blind, but eh. It'd probably be good for me. XP

Man, I need to start taking voice lessons again, my upper range has gone to fucking hell from not being used for so long. And I know better than to force it and just start trying to get up there haphazardly, great way to do exactly what I don't want to do and hurt myself.

Nitro: Well, guitar wins right now since we no longer have a keyboard, but we do still have a guitar. Piano/keyboard is my preference since it's good for learning melodies from sheet music, since I can't quite sight read. It's a skill I need to cultivate, but it would be best done with a piano so I can get the pitches in my head right. Just work at it until I get to the point where if I see, say, an F sharp, I can just sing it straight off without having to try to find the pitch somehow. Shouldn't be too hard, I pick up on music really quickly.

Tact: Holy Rati, man, stop judging all music by one genre.

Try some opera, some trance, old standards from the first half of the 20th century, classical, stuff from musicals, some jazz, church music, traditional folk tunes from various cultures... Light, man, there's an entire universe of music out there that does not centre on how hot some guy/chick is and how much the singer wants to get into his pants/up her skirt!

Songs of anger, of hate, of triumph, of despair, of endless undying love... The thrilling heights of an aria sung by a well-trained soprano, the glorious depths of a basso profundo, all the ranges inbetween... The incredible level of skill and training on display in opera, the simple lovlieness of a simple tune sung plainly, the swelling of an orchestra, the tinkling of a single harp... Come on, man, there's an entire universe of music out there that has nothing to do with how hot someone is!

Here, you want something that's not how hot someone is? Go watch that video I linked earlier. Pure seething rage, and a hellishly difficult piece of music. Glorious.

But yeah, man, expand your horizons, music is too wide and beautiful a landscape to sit there focusing only a piece of trash on the ground. Pick up the piece of trash, toss it in a bin and look at everything else around you.

[Nitro Vordex]

I like Rock because it challenges my vocals. I love singing.

As for your upper range, Ian, do you mean falsetto or sorprano(sp)?

[Tact]

Nitro, it's "soprano" with no R. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

*pours out some more GOD*

[Out_Kast]

Never heard of Trenor or Arlto? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Nai_Calus]

*holds tact hostage and sings to him* You will learn the joys and magic of music if it kills both of us!

I used to be able to hit High D easily and High E with a minimum of fuss, with some screechy flitting up into Fs and Gs and even just barely the A above High C. Now it's a struggle to even reach High C. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif Too many years of mostly pop/rock singing, or even worse, not singing at all, rather than proper classical singing. Though, full-on classical training and singing only in that style has its own drawbacks, ever hear an opera singer try to sing Amazing Grace? Reminds me of this girl in my Chorus class in high school who sang something by Whitney Houston at the Baccalaureate when we graduated and she sounded fucking godawful because she'd been taking voice lessons since she was little, in the classical style, and her voice had developed that way and the poppy schmaltz was an utter mismatch for her voice. She sang the solo part at the beginning of the Sister Act 2 version of Joyful, Joyful as well, which is supposed to be done in a very R&B-y, soul-y style that she simply couldn't do. (Teacher's pets, ahh, isn't that always a double-edged sword? She got all the solos, but... Well, even then half the time it was to her detriment, sadly, due to the teacher's inability to realise that her talents did not lie in certain forms of music)

On the bright side, using the lower end of my range has devloped *that*, so I can now go lower than I used to be able to...

But yes, Tact, we must see about broadening those horizons of yours. Any particular requests? *launches into Greensleeves*

[TalHex]

[Randomness]

*teleports Tact free to behind the B4R counter*

Sorry, but it ain't art if you force it down their throat.

[Tact]

Well, if it helps you any, I'm making a song about halogens to the tune of "Still Alive."

[Out_Kast]

I was singing a song about the GTA: San Andreas protagonist to the tune of a Boyzone song.

Thank god Boyzone fell apart. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Nai_Calus]

Randomness: Sure it is, but who even said this was art? This is torture. We'll sing to him until he cracks and learns to like it. Or something.

Out_Kast: Agh, that's almost enough to make *me* hate music.

[Out_Kast]

Not to mention I was singing it at the top of my voice, so people walking by could hear too.
I'm sure no guys liked Boyzone.
No guy guys, anyway. ._.

[Nai_Calus]

Such crimes are unforgivable. D<

*crushes you under a full-sized pipe organ* *starts playing it like the bad guy in some cheesy old movie*

[Nai_Calus]

Hell yeah.

[Out_Kast]

*trembles in fear under the organ*

[Nai_Calus]

*laughs maniacally*

[Out_Kast]

Just wait. Some superhero'll come round the corner and smash the grin off your face.
They probably wouldn't think twice about looking under an organ, though. So I'm pretty screwed http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Nai_Calus]

Yes, even if I should be defeated, I have accomplished my goal! You're too late, fools!

*puts away the organ and goes back to normal, such as it is*

[Out_Kast]

Breathe. Breathe.
Hi, Ian. (:

[Nai_Calus]

Hello, Out_Kast.

*sits in a comfy chair and leans back against the wall and resumes singing*

Here's a better version. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQb4Dkjl1hs)

With zombies, "killing" isn't technically correct, its just the easiest to use. Technically its more "slice them up into harmless pieces"

Pfft, amateur.

guess I know what to do with all of them now, just kept stocking them for some later use.

I have around...15 d6's, if I remember correctly.

Pitiful compared to Ian's collection, but probably more than the average person has.

Not more than me... I've got board games with nearly that many in the one game alone, to say nothing of other sources of em. Dice other than d6, though, I have very few of.

i have far more than 12 d6

2 sets of yazzi - 10 dice
1 set of Risk - 5 dice
2 versions of monopoly - 4 dice
shitloads of other boardgames we have involving dice: xxxx

[Nai_Calus]

I have 34 d6.

d6 are a little boring though.

Wonder how many people realise though, that in addition to being cubes, d6s are also a special case of the type of shape d10s and d14s and the like are.

But seriously, Randomness, I wish to learn all about this 'reality' thing. It sounds like a truly fascinating subject.

Religious Education.
Catholic schools are supposed to teach it, but my school's the only one in the area that does.

I'm Christian, though I don't heavily practice my religion much...

[Out_Kast]

Me neither.
My mum tries to drag me out to church about once a year, but...
Most of the time, I just can't really be bothered.

[Tessu]

My dad's always trying to drag us to Church. Sometimes I go, but that's only because my friend is there at the 10:30 mass. << Most of the time, though, I spend my Sundays moping about Monday.

[Out_Kast]

None of my friends go to Church.
Hence, neither do I. Simple, yet effective rule, don't you think? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[TalHex]

i only go to church to help out with stuff (my dad's church) never actually prayed at one though... they always make me feel extremely uncomfortable when people are praying there...

[Anduril]

I only need to read the Bible becuase of the fact that so much British and American literature has heavy reference to biblical happenings. So I'm really readin it more as a piece of literature than as a Holy document. I'm "Christian", but not a fully-practicing one.

[Tessu]

It should be law.
-imagines-

I sometimes pray. Well, never at Church. I do better in private. Even then it's kind of scarce. I feel guilty... 'xD

I find praying very uncomfortable.
I also find the Bible to be very hard reading.

Completely changing the topic, someone told me I looked good in girls sunglasses today when I tried them on.
Just thought I'd share that with you ;3

Yes, thank you. I always feel awkward when people talk about religion.

[Tessu]

I'm sometimes tempted to read it, just because so many people I know challenge it. I haven't read it enough to be well equipped for defending it, so...
Also, I hear about all this weird crap in there, and I'm like, "What? That's in the bible?"

i'm prouda you son I can't stand wearing sunglasses. Too dark...
but at the same time, I hate the sun getting in my eyes. T_T

I"m a no sunglasses person. I have uneven ears... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I'm sure it might look a little awkward depending on the color of the sunglasses, but what's the real difference? It's just a pair of darkened lenses in front of your eyes.

[Out_Kast]

Girl's sunglasses over here are much larger and rounder than guys.
I guess it's just the fashion.

[Tact]

A lot larger? Would you care to find some pictures for comparison? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Over here, I don't see much of a difference between men's and women's sunglasses.

[Out_Kast]

http://sunglasses.lovetoknow.com/images/Sunglasses/thumb/8/88/GiorgioArmaniSensualModern_.jpg/230px-GiorgioArmaniSensualModern_.jpg

These are evidently female.
Whereas the male are usually more, uhh.. 'compact'. If you know what I mean. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Tessu]

When I was shopping for new glasses, we saw these Gucci glasses that took up more than half my face. I kinda wanted them, but they were EXPENSIVE.

Target has pretty sunglasses.

I want a pair of red aviators, that would look cool.

When I was in fourth grade, our teacher would read Choose Your Own Adventure books to us. Once, when we died, there was a scene that graphically described breaking your neck on a log and bleeding to death from your eyes.

She never read us another one. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

[Randomness]

Oh. First is good. To be honest, I'm happy they removed the Medic's Immunize ability. At level 10, it reduced hits that would do 200ish damage to hits of at most half that. Boosted (adds five levels, replaced in 2), it was godly defense. This is in addition to anything else I used.

*whole heartedly agrees* it's hot and stormy here right now, similar situation. thank god for air conditioning.

OK, now less violence, guys, or I bash your fucking skulls in. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Randomness]

Etrian odyssey is a dungeon crawl. Basically you make a party of up to 5 people from several classes, then go kill stuff. To be more accurate at lower levels... You try to kill stuff and build up some money while running back to town repeatedly to heal. Or you find some flowers, take a nap, and get ambushed by a group of enemies from the next floor who proceed to slaughter half your party before you get to move. (This happened to me, actually)

Whole game is basically a town and a giant dungeon (First was 30 floors seperated into six strata).

It's a DS game, not an MMORPG. I said I would name my party after FKLers because I know the names won't be taken. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Randomness, have you been doing research on the skill trees or something? Without Immunize, how are we going to get our elemental defense? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

[Randomness]

Immunize wasn't elemental defense, it boosted defense against ALL attacks.

Troubador's shelter raises defense, Protectors can give elemental resistance/immunity/absorbtion. I haven't looked too much at the trees, but its there. Its just not in a convenient one-spell package.

[Tact]

Ah, so Immunize was the overpowered defense spell. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

No, no, I mean I'm naming my Medic "Tact." http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Sord's definitely a Dark Hunter and Ronin will be...well...a Ronin. I have no idea what I'm naming my other characters though.

[Randomness]

Dibs on alchemist. I actually name mine after myself in the first.

Something you should know, is to make good use of the rest (or retire) option. Early on you'll need more points in the lower stuff than you will later. So eventually the option to sacrifice 10 levels to respend skill points is very attractive. (Like moving all points beyond pre-reqs in cure I+II and salve I into cure II and salve II, plus other areas)

[Tact]

Alright, fine, you can be the Alchemist. You can hang out in the back row with me while Sord, Ronin, and someone else do all of the frontline fighting. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Randomness]

Right now, if I had to make an all-purpose adventuring party... well, theres so many options. Troubador's Relaxing is a godsend, with that, you can kill all but one enemy, then sit there defending for a while as your TP refills.

Something to note, is that (at least in 1), normal buffs wear off after 5 turns, but Troubador songs last until death or the end of the battle.

I'll be a frontman if necessary.

There are five characters per party. Alchemists are basically the wizards of the game. Instead of spells, they just chuck potions imbued with elemental powers.

Edit: As well as those five characters in your party, you can have other characters wait at the Guild Center. So I could theoretically name all of my characters after FKLers. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Five to a party, but theres like 10-12 classes. You can make more characters, you can just only have five with you at once.

Plus the myriad ways to make said characters.

Actually... Front and Back guards aren't that great in the long run, since they tie your protector up. I believe protectors now have a pair of skills for elemental and physical damage that are similar to Immunize... Also, Protectors do have some nice beatdown in Smite.

I had to give some examples. I also did see some videos of Protectors doing rather good damage with Smite. There's a video of a Protector soloing the tenth-floor boss (I think it was the tenth floor) and another of the same Protector soloing something else.

Yeah, Protectors are good solo since they have Cure II, all sorts of defenses, and Smite.

[Tact]

Though, in a party I don't think a Protector should have Cure II. A Medic can heal pretty well enough, provided they're kept up. If your Medic dies, the rest of the party is pretty much toast even if the Protector has some healing.

Nectar ftw.

Does Nectar revive people? I didn't see anything about it in what I've read.

Heh, Sonic Rush. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I'm gravitating away from Sonic games because they're beginning to...you know...
