Experimental Math Metal is what gets me pumped. Especially when it is Meshuggah turned up to full blast but pretty much any metal gets me pumped.

Whilst I have taken a liking to alot of music, I was never really interested in music until my ears were graced with the magic that was Power Metal. I'd have to admit Dragonforce are probably the sole reason I even discovered heavy metal in the first place. So I pretty much enjoy every genre of rock/metal now, and don't listen to so much power metal anymore, but it is still the genre of music that I go back to when I want to listen to purely awesome fast paced music, so probably deserves the title of my favourite genre.

I got this game free with PC Gamer magazine a few weeks ago, and I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I love strategy games so I sort of already knew what sort of game it was going to be from another Paradox game, Crusader Kings. I built my epic Scottish Empire by conquering most of Africa, Oceania and North America, whilst being fought by Spain and France, so it really does pose a good challenge. It is not the most welcoming game for newcomers, but having a look at the tutorials can help. And, in terms of AI going off the rails, my game has the grand empire of Oman ruling over most of the Middle East and India, as well as the Kazakh empire ruling over most of Northern Asia. And also a strange case in the Byzantine empire fighting back against the Ottomans and defeating them. And yeah, I'd love to try multiplayer some time if I ever have any spare time.

I am not convinced until there is a proper F-zero game. The Nintendo Land mini game does not really count, since its not really a proper game and nor is it a sequel to GX.

Where I live (Scotland) the school uniform rules are incredibly strict. I got in trouble for having my collar undone and once I got in trouble for wearing boots instead of shoes because the only path to the school was muddy >_< . Maybe its just my perspective, but it seems really unfair when I watch a TV show centered around American schools in which people seem to wear whatever they want, as opposed to heavily enforced school uniform. Is that a thing across America, or is that just a misguided impression those shows give me?

Kinda agree with what you are saying, the costs involved in making an MMO are incredibly high compared to other games. Also MMO's are massive games, most commercial MMO's are made up of teams with 50+ devs, and whilst I think it certainly would be possible for an indie dev to make a MMO, the amount of capital required to make one would almost certainly outweigh the tag of 'indie'.

Fair to Midland, awesome alternative-prog band I discovered recently. Awesome singer and very well composed proggy music.

I'd say Gen 4. I loved Sinnoh and the new pokemon from that gen were definitely my favourites. Most notably Electivire and Glaceon. Gen 3 isn't far behind, but it had zigzagoon, which to this day is still the worst pokemon ever to exist.

Just got reminded how awesome the Super Smash Bros. Brawl soundtrack was. It was one of the most consistently superb and well done soundtracks ever done in a game.
