  1. "The writer" pfft such metal blasphemy The only Stream of Passion songs I ever liked were on the live DVD, and those were covers of Ayreon and Star One songs Like this
  2. Best of luck to everybody involved with this. Golden Sun has needed the album treatment, and it's about time it got some. Thanks for organizing everything and making such beautiful artwork for it already, TheMaverickk.
  3. I'm eager to also see who got mine. o_o When they post who is remixing what, does it also say who requested it? And rerolls tomorrow (Wednesday) really? I guess I can wait.. I'm just so excited now to see what I'm gonna end up with.
  4. Was that a typo? o.O Sure, I'll pop in in a bit. \ I popped in. Woweee, that's a lot of wips.
  5. Hubcap... lol... that's not even creative. You know Hubbard rhymes with so many things, cupboard, blubber, rubber... what genius in elementary school called you Hubcap?
  6. For some crazy reason, I thought the currently approved projects like Wild Arms were going to get private forums at OCR.
  7. Agreed about Sisters, but I liked the album a ton after how disappointing I thought Scarsick and the Linoleum EP were. It's 70s rock, you can't expect it to be the most fresh thing evar!
  8. Melbu.... Melbu Frah-ma, Melbu..... Sang to the tune of Welcome back
  9. Oh snap, I did take them all off at once. o_o So they're unbalanced now, even though I've got 6 out of the 7 strings on there? Putting something under the bridge to hold it up while I restring would put it back in balance? How would that work if it just goes back to normal after I take the wood out? And that would get the whammy action back to normal too, and make the strings stay in tune better -- or is that just the way the strings are on these until you lock them down? I've at least figured out that changing the screws way at the bottom changes how far each string bends. x_x Setting that right also seems to have gotten rid of the "grind" that I was hearing/feeling when using the whammy. x_x
  10. I only got the 2, but then I wrote lyrics for it and plan to do some of my own. You work wit what you got. :-)

  11. Eh it wasn't really that dumb. It's got a wacky 7-string tremolo and it's fairly new so I've never changed the strings before and didn't know how. I took half the tremolo off before I found out you just needed to use an Allen wrench on a hole at the back of the... string-holding mechanism things. Yeah, maybe it was a little dumb.
  12. And I broke my guitar through stupidity so I needed a delay of some kind... until I can find out how to get it fixed.
  13. I hope someone like you got the one I requested. It needs some blackmetal treatment. With a guitar
  14. Hi! I am an idiot. (pause) I tried to change my strings on the Ibanez S7320 last night, and I epic failed... which caused my double's dash with bjkmenu to have to restart with only 50 minutes left, and I think I messed up the tremolo beyond my comprehension for fixing it. I wobbled it a good bit and I think I got everything back to where it goes, but now when I press the whammy bar, it has a little type of grind as if it is catching on something, or it's not as tight as it should be? It's also bending the note faster than it used to but also not bending as far. So like it'll drop a whole step really fast but beyond that, not as much. I've got all the screws conbiobulated, which is my word for messed up and I don't know how to set it right. I tried to replace the strings, which included chopping off the bottoms and pinching them into the holes. The high E string popped out twice, and just would not stay in that hole to save its life. I spent a good 10 minutes trying to tune it, but the strings will not stay in tune. I tried to get them as close as I could then lock them down with the lockers near the headstock. But it's not good enough. I also re-screwed the tremolo in the body after this to get the strings to the correct height off of the fretboard so that they don't buzz when I play them. Of course the low B buzzes a little but it did that before. Now they're all out of tune again. If anyone knows what I did to completely destroy this guitar, please let me know. I'm starting to think I will have to take it to a professional to get it fixed.
  15. I loved Triumph or Agony, hehe... I gotta be honest, the CDs released by bands I like have well exceeded my expectations. They involve but aren't limited to: Pain of Salvation - Road Salt Avantasia - The Wicked Symphony Ihsahn - After Nevermore - The Obsidian Conspiracy Wuthering Heights - Salt As for the new Rhapsody of Fire.. I've only really listened to the first few songs, but I liked them. I haven't done a proper full listen yet.
  16. Yeaaah... I am much more wimpy though. Sorry. The game in question, I don't think I can mention it, but I wasn't particularly a fan of the series anyway. I did reply to the email -- to anyone wondering, you either reply YES or REROLL to lock in your decision.
  17. I rerolled. I'm sorry. I just have no knowledge of the song that it gave me, so I'm hoping the reroll is a little more familiar. If not, I'll do it anyway to the best of my abilities.
  18. Hahah, mod-blammed.. that's the first time I've heard blam used in that context here.. I thought it was funny. Well, I'll help out with recruitment if I can. Not sure what all I could do. Maybe troll on youtube a little, to spread the word on various LoD videos.
  19. I claimed Jesters of the Moon, but then I ended claiming something else, and then something else further. Right now I have "finished" Mistaken Love and started a WIP for Passing Sorrow. If nobody claims Jesters again by the time I am done with this, then I will probably do that. And if nobody claims Battle 2 in the long run, I might as well do that too.I'm not claiming them NOW so that other people can come by and do them, I'm just saying that if they end up not being done that I will definitely throw my tiny hat into the ring. I've been having issues with hardware and software though so I'm hoping someone steps up for these.
  20. Sowwy bubs... I guess you'll just have to sub it and have it be #8, hehe!
  21. Hey....! How close is this project to done? Almost all of the songs are WIP'd but it's not that specific on how far along the WIPs are.. Are there a lot of very substantial ones? December 1st... It would be nice if this could come out before the end of winter.
  22. Did someone mention lyrics? I was too busy being blown away by CHRISTOPHER (expletive) LEE.
  23. Greetings, Cain! DragNBreth made a really awesome orchestral version of "You are not alone!" It's already claimed on FF9, but you're not against having some doubles are you? Besides, we need moar orchestral and his is very nice :-P
