A weekly album spotlight would be cool. Please don't drop indie rock, though.

lol just go read Team 1's story. It's way better.

Yeah, those writers are really doing a great job.

Hey, wait a minute...

I know this is an old entry, but I wanted to return to it now that I'm in a pre-cal 2 class and see if my newborn trig knowledge would help me understand the post better. Considering today's class covered vectors, I understand the majority of this entry now.

Happy birthday!

To my surprise, I actually found some inspiration to write the first chapter within twenty-four hours.

What shall our team name be? Team Shakespeare? Team Mozart? Team Doomsday?

Insanity and genius go hand-in-hand... at least, I really hope they do, because if they don't, we're doomed.

(Go team!)

You indeed have greater smiting powers. I suppose I'll see them again in a week.

I've got a license to smite and I ain't afraid to use it.

My condolences to your family. At least you can be proud she lived to such a ripe age.

A pity the topic has been dead for so long; maybe MI will repost it. In regards to your picture: Good job!

Yes, we need many more entrants.

Try extracting the files to their current directory, then either manually moving the files to the Fonts folder or copy-pasting them. It works for me.

You know, a friend of mine recommended them to me, but I've still never gotten around to checking them out. What tracks would you recommend for a good cross-sampling?

Considering their catalogue is rather varied, that's a tough question to answer. The best I can do is list several songs.

"New Born" and "Hysteria" are two of their most recognized songs, both alternative rock with emphasized basslines, the former having more of a progressive quality than the latter. "Knights of Cydonia" is another staple of their discography; it has a very western feel to it. If you want to hear more guitar work, try listening to "Invincible", which has a great guitar solo in the bridge.

"United States of Eurasia (+Collateral Damage)" borrows some cues from Queen and Chopin. The three parts of "Exogenesis Symphony" also take inspiration from classical music and together could be comfortably considered progressive rock.

In contrast, "Sunburn" and "Muscle Museum" are basic alternative rock -- they and the rest of the album Showbiz sound similar to Radiohead's earlier output.

It's worth noting that Matthew Bellamy's voice is hit-and-miss; he can be melodramatic in his singing.

What do you think of the band Muse?

I'm actually asking something serious in an ask entry. I never thought this was possible.

You play guitar, correct? Did you have to seriously buckle down to learn how to play, or were you able to (more or less) accustom yourself to the guitar over time? Which method of learning would you recommend?

Such a varied array of facial expressions.

I may create a character to interact with the Daedra. I don't know, though.

Haha, I remember Raknar's Daedra-related shenanigans like they happened yesterday...

Ctrl+F would be useful; Ctrl+Z would be more so.

I definitely agree that completing a story is very important to gaining experience, and that criticism should be taken in stride. The latter I have followed throughout my tenure posting stories online, and it has helped me improve greatly.

I've only written one epic before (and it was rather bad in hindsight), but because I completed it, I have hope I can write something longer and better in the future. I think if you can't prove to yourself that you can complete a project, you won't gain the mindset necessary to improve. Giving up hurts after a while.

^ That was one of the best moments in the entire game.

I remember Arthur, but I don't remember this episode.

I agree that knowing one's limits is very important whilst writing.

AW YEAH.

Considering titles of sexuality are applied to individuals rather than through instinctive knowledge, it's impossible to know exactly what sexuality anyone truly possesses (at least, at our current state of technology). You may have not yet met someone right for you, or you may be, as you say, asexual.

Alternate sexuality is a tricky subject, though, so I hope you haven't labelled yourself hastily.
