  1. Thanks guys! I'm in the process of listening to ALL of the suggestions, even ones I'm familiar with. And thank you for the write-ups. This really REALLY does help me out with my exploration! Once I'm done with listening through these, I'll be posting responses to each suggestion individually.

  2. Hello all. I'm doing a bit of musical and personal exploration and I need your help!

    Throughout my life, I have bounced back and forth on determining what moves me. What has been constant, however, is music. The very reason why I like VGM and VGM remixes so much is because there is always a story or a feeling attached to each song. I want to see how songs can convey the emotions of those stories or even tell a story all on their own.

    That leads to the purpose of this thread: I want to know which VGM songs really resonate with you. The songs don't have to make you cry, but rather make you feel a certain emotion and/or give you a very vivid image in your mind. When you suggest a song, please let me know briefly what it makes you feel or see. I'll be listening to each song that you suggest here with the exception of angry-ish/aggressive songs. For now I want to focus on happy, sad, nostalgic, and the like. If someone's already posted your suggestion, please second (or third!) it.

  3. @kitty: Yup. I feel ya. I don't know if you've had a doctor give you the arch test (which felt really unscientific though probably effective,) but for me, the doc could just barely fit one knuckle in my arch. My dad's feet are even flatter. He looks like a caveman. Agreed, though, running on the beach is much preferable. If I'm gonna do standard cardio, I like to ride a bike or do the elliptical, to save my knees and shins. You?

    Bikes are definitely nice. I want to get an exercise bike so I can pedal while at my desk. Though my top preference for cardio is racquetball, ultimate frisbee, or tennis.

  4. As promised, I've delivered the codes to the first two posters for the specific codes they guessed on.

    The answers! I like the drow the most in D&D because their society is fleshed out very well in the various books, unlike most other races in the game. And for Chrono Cross, my favorite character is actually Poshul.

  5. Anyone need a couple Nintendo Club codes? I have 2 I am not going to use ever, especially with Nintendo shutting down the program. They're from A Link Between Worlds and Paper Mario Sticker Star if that matters.

    In order to give people who log in at a later time a chance for the codes, I'm going to have you play a simple guessing game. You have one guess per code.

    In the likely event that no one wants to play this game with me, that Nintendo Club codes aren't that coveted, or if no one makes a correct guess then I'll give away the codes to the first two posters in the thread by 23:59 PST Friday night.

    Zelda code: What is my favorite Dungeons & Dragons race?

    Paper Mario code: Who is my favorite Chrono Cross character?

  6. Continue from last year and adding a few more.

    1. Learn guitar so I can play songs I like

    1b. Sing and play a song I like, record it, and post it on the internet

    2. Learn coding to a point I can code things on my own without following directions/hints

    3. Learn FL Studio so I can...eventually remix?

    4. Learn music theory so I can write all these musical ideas in my head onto paper

    5. Continue exercising

    6. Eat healthier

    7. Work on/continue being more open and moderate with my emotions, e.g. not getting frustrated at video games, being supportive of friends and even strangers

    8. Continue writing in my journal every day

    9. Cosplay Tibbers with someone else being Annie

    I did well with moderating my emotions and writing in my journal.

    I am exercising and eating healthy on a roughly consistent basis, though I ended the year not exercising and eating as healthy as I want to. That may be because my standards have gotten higher.

    I am slowly learning guitar, but I am learning.

    Coding is taking a back burner; I'm just procrastinating on my D&D NPC generator project.

    And I have made little progress on music theory and FL Studio and no progress on cosplay.

    What I'm happiest about this year is that I made a lot of new friends at the places I work, though most are way older than I am. MAGFest 8.5 was pretty cool too since I met some awesome new folks there in the Tabletop Room. I've also made some modest advancements in my career, but I'm unsure if I want to stay in my field.

    I'll be repeating the same goals this year!

  7. My "loot" consists of:

    Simba plush

    Gund bear with mustache plush

    Snorlax plush

    Nichijou pillow

    Graphic Sharka t-shirt from Hawaii

    A couple nice light sweaters

    A fleece jacket

    Travel sleeping kit (eye-mask + ear plugs)

    An art print

    M&Ms

    Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for 3DS

    But honestly I'm just happy that I made a lot of new friends this year and enjoyed my time with the ones I already have. Really couldn't ask for more than that.
