Dreamcast 4, yo. Digi's choice of music.

Something that WON'T make me scared to turn out the lights XD

It would be a monumental moment, duncha know.

Come on, DiGi, man. Do it for the fans, eh?

I believe it's unanimous! The people have spoken and DiGi must sing!

XDD

Looks like arguments abound no matter what forum you hit.

Anyway. I only read the comic as far as what Trip has- and oi.... I haven't even played the game but the dialog's cliche, the art works is like... dead... and oi... >_< I think DiGi would do a wonderful at ranting about Archie and their terrible 'comic'.

Ask Trip. We all know how well Digi can actually sing XD; He can rap like no ones business, but singing? Well, maybe. But at least we know for sure that Trip has a lovely singing voice. So, I say, Yay!

You know it's ok that you can't do an American accent cause most Americans butcher both the Scottish (yes, I noticed you say it much differently then we do XD) accent and the British one. This might be long so I apologize ahead of time.

Shoutout: Shoutout to Peng, even though none of you know her cause I can't drag her on the forums. Peng. Get over here you orange Penguin you. And dun tell me you dun have time cause I know ya do! Also thanks to Trippy for not only introducing me to NiGHTS, but also, due to that, getting me more connected with my own dreams and imagination and giving Chris (alter-ego. Dun ask...) a chance to get through to me. Oh the last few years have been so crazy mad... Well. That's about it. Thanks to you all and Peng, I expect to see you on the NiD.forums.

Yeah, but that's Europe. We in America just kinda chuckle and smile to those in the UK ^_^

Either way, more time for development and polishing is ALWAYS a plus. And, really, there's no point in worrying too much over something we can't really control. Or, say, making more worries then needed.

I've always said Ree-alah. Like reality, only.. not? XD

You know... That tongue twister idea is interesting... Not that you have to, I mean. But you know ;D

Right then, I'll shut up lest I incur the wrath of the bunnyman.

*snort* Oh God... I'm listening to this thing as I type, and Digi... Don't try that Scottish accent again XDDD I think I died a little bit, from shear laughter. I think Salem gets major points for that one. And Purg was awesome, and so was everyone else, and, well, I shouldn't be allowed to listen to this stuff at 4AM. Well, I could go on as I listen, but I should stop before sleep dep. starts making me jabber too much.

Ahhh~ I need sugar now. Cheers you guys XD


Edit: Oh, and Trippy... I do believe your choice in song is gonna give me nightmares ._. *shivers* I'm only a little afraid to turn the lights out now...

And a horrible story at that.

Anyway; my thoughts are pretty much the same as those who've said it's just for decoration, and maybe a visible sign of courage. Really though, I've always just seen it has a NiGHTS thing, just like the other Nightmaren have their own thing. Jackal with his mantle, Reala with... himself, and so on so. No need for a deep meaning or anything.

Loved the Podcast. Course, I did that thing again where I listen to while trying to sleep, and end up not actually sleeping cause I'm LAUGHING. I have a job now. This could be bad? XD

I have a question, but it's real related to the cast itself, so I'll drop you, DiGi, a PM on it. Overall, nice job. Very amusing, informative (seeing as how I dun actively search for it), and all around well done. Cheers to the both of you. Now, I'm off to bed, as it's 7AM and I have to work at 12PM.

In order:
Skillet

And many, many more from all different genres. I really don't pay much attention to a bands/songs genre. If I like the music and lyrics, or lack of lyrics for instrumental, then I'll listen.

I mainly buy the CD's/use a friends and burn it onto my computer. But I also get songs from my net friends through the magic of IM. Limewire is like, virus haven. I don't touch it. Even if I get a lot of my music from the net, I always buy the CDs of my favorite bands, if only to support them in some way.

Besides. I don't have an MP3 player. CD player = need for CDs.

I'm usually a mix. Sometimes I see me as if it's a movie, and other times I see it from my pov. Sometimes I'm not even there and it's Chris. Or it's me and Chris and it's movie-like. My best dreams that I remember clearly have me as if it's a movie and it's always realistic, except Chris cause he always appears in anime form no matter what. As far as talking goes, it's always English (thank God). But really there's never much talking. Maybe mouth movement but no sound.

Dream: I was walking with Ross in the fields behind his house (he lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere pretty much) and we were talking. We must have been around 11 or 12, is my guess, and it was a cloudy day and real windy. We were talking about monsters (like Godzilla) and Star Trek and all that cause we're cool and then the wind picks up. I'm almost blown over but manage to stay up and Ross is having some trouble too (but he's always been strong and such) and we look behind us and BAM- there's Lillian. At this time we thought Lillian (Ross' older sister) to be this invincible being that could like, survive a nuke.

We were weird. Still are. Anyway.

So Lilly was like OMGRAGINGMAD and it was like she was the reason the clouds were all thundery and stormy. We look at each other, screamed, and ran. Lilly started chasing us (a common event back in rl) and we came to a some random woods. Even though at that age, and still even now, we were good at moving through thicks woods, we got even better. And it was weird. Now I can say it was ninja like but at the time it was before ninjas were so big. So we were dashing and jumping and Lilly's on our tail and suddenly I trip- of course- and just before Lillian gets me Ross pulls her hair (a common defense maneuver we used back in the day) and we Double Teamed her.

Eventually we lost and I woke up all weired out, but now I can look back at it and enjoy it.

Why was it special to you?:
It was something that we really did, yet had twists that gave it a surreal feel. I got to hang out with Ross, and we had an adventure and fought for all that was right and good by fighting the evil Lillian. I don't get dreams that make that much sense (or have a real plot you could say) anymore. Now mine are just weird XD - fun though.

How long did it last roughly?:
I couldn't tell you. How long in real time it lasted. Dream time, if there IS such a thing, it probably lasted about 15 minutes. Cause Ross and I didn't run very long, and the fight was fairly short. Maybe 20 minutes.

Were you lucid?:
No. Most assuredly not. I had this dream when I was around 11 or 12; before I cared much for dreams. My interest in dreams, and art, has come in the last 2-3 years.

Did parts of it confuse you?:
Not really. The dream was pretty straight forward and probably the result of not only what frequently happened when awake but also the combined exaggerations of Ross' and my own imaginations. Yay for wild imaginations <3

If you could see it again would you want to and why?:
I'm not sure XD Considering that Lilly and I are 'sisters' (at some point I was unofficially adopted into the family XD) it wouldn't fit anymore. Would certainly be funny to tell though- and maybe try for some lucidity.

I believe I've had that Lucidity where you know you're in a dream but can't quite do anything about it. I actually had it a few weeks ago. I realized I was in a dream. I mean I knew it for a fact. I looked at a clock, then away, then back, and the clock wasn't there anymore. And I'm all "Hmm. This is a dream." I also pinched myself but felt pain, and so ignored that. So I began walking, I was in my school, and everything began getting all warped and I'm like wondering what's going on and I decide this is getting a little to weird, and wake up. It's a bit hazy because though it was perfectly clear for a few weeks I have terrible memory. I just do.

Oh please. Do you really think you're making hits?
You keep yapping away but continue to miss
Maybe in the new game you'll have better aim
Too bad it can't improve your rhyme score the same

You can laugh and point at the lack of center
But I can mess with your mind no matter your gender
Or lack thereof as the case here would be
But what does it matter to a Maren like me?

Try again NiGHTS cause your loosin' your sheen
You might wanna hurry before my rhymes slice your being
You can't twirl forever and expect to win
In fact in the sequel you need kids yet again

Can't do anything on your own can you?
You depend on dreamers like a machine needs the screw
You're useless without them and you know it's a fact
Stop trying to act tough cause you're spittin' out crap

Come then jester man
What's your plan?
Let round two begin
Though I know I'll win

Oh ho ho the girls got spunk
She just took that pian and made a slam dunk
You're pretty smart, for a dreamer that is
But lets make it clear you're no rhyming whiz

You laugh at the mantle but I laugh at YOU
Just wait till you sleep and we'll see what's new
You're all this talk and badmouthing the Jackle
But in reality your little poems make me cackle

You're threatening to punch us right out cold
Blah, blah, blah your talk is old
Without that purple jester you're nothing but normal
You're not special, not strong, and that's just being formal

I give props to you for messing with NiGHTS
I'll laugh it up when you smack the pian from sight
But if there's one thing I know it's with me you're lost
Don't try and act tough cause you're not the boss

I'm still number one
I'm still top gun
The girls got some brains
But the pians insane

Your little gang here makes me cackle
A traitor and a little girl is easy to tackle
But now some Nightopian wants to play?
That little fairy food has nothing to say!

Little NiGHTS here decided to rebel
He was beat up bad and placed in a cell
Then comes some dreamers who save his ass
He's proven to all Mares he's got no class

And you little girl with your long pink hair
You act all sway only when NiGHTS is there
They call me a joker but it's gotta be off
Your terrible rhymes and words make me scoff

But oh now the real laugh is comin' in
The little fairy lunch thinks it can win
Come a little closer you delicious snack
We'll play a game where I stuff ya in a sack

The jesters old news
The girl's lost a few screws
The pian's just a snack
But hey, Jackle's back

I hope you know you're not one to speak
NiGHTS got lucky but you just went squeak
The clown and dreamers at least played the game
You just went fishing and acted all tame

The cards don't lie and you're in trouble
Now Reala's here and he'll hurt you double
You have no right to talk all big
If you had fought you'd have snapped like a twig!

I eat pians like you for lunch and dinner
I'm a pro at the game and you're not even beginner
You say I haven't a middle and call it a shot?
I say read the manual again cause flames need to be hot

Your little 'insult' was ice cold and shattered
By the time the Mares are through you'll be in tatters
It's a new game now and the rules are my style
They won't be very nice but certainly vile

With a slight of hand
You'll be crushed as sand
The Master's gonna rule
So stop fighting like a fool

You're in the sequel that I'll admit
But you look like a ballerina you idiot
Fluffy frills and nice pearly gloves
They're really trying to un-Maren you cuz

But maybe the new frilly look can work
Hermaphrodites can wear anything from ties to skirts
All flying around like the dancer you are
Trying to look pretty and be the big star

I have a new game for you NiGHTS
It involves rolling the dice and you loosing twice
Gotta make up for the past mistake, right?
We'll see who' still looping to ungodly heights

You were owned in the ass and had to be saved
By dreamers no less who now won't behave
The little girl here is stepping on your hat
And you're sitting here just watching the attack

Couldn't find the rhyme?
Getting lost with time?
You don't belong here
So get moving square

I'm a new kind of reaper you could say
I'm a little bit loony and love to play
Grim and dark death is boring and dull
Get with this game, NiGHTS, before you fall

I really don't care what you think of my place
I'm still the Mare and you're still the disgrace
Mr. Oo looky me I can fly and spin
I would think of all people you know fun ain't a sin

You see you're mister hero
And the rest of us called zero
But go on ahead and let the girl from your sight
I'll take the Ideya and all shall be right

We're all still here. Gone only in the game
To think Marens can really die is just insane
We're the darkest fears and inner black
Let down any wall and we'll be there to attack

It's a bit quiet though
Battles just a little slow
Can't the others take this heat?
Are you the only being to beat?

So now that the cat's here you come back?
Where were you girl when I was on the attack?
It's been weeks so dun be snide
You ran off awhile ago to hide

And as for the lyrics- or attempt at least
You're worse then the crazy feline beast!
There was NO rhythm there at all
You started out fast but went down to a crawl

Between Clawz and me we could eat you three
NiGHTS, dreamer, and the Pian with a cup o' tea
We'll sit right down for a game of cards
After the craze cat rips you to shards

Face it, girl, you've lost your beat
You don't have the rhyme to play with elite
Dreamers shouldn't mess with the Marens of night
So go back to your own realm and fly a kite

You've been gone too long
Haven't got a song
Can't play the game
When you all say the same

Wisconsin wins- just so all you Cali's know ;D

Sorry, had to. My other friends from California and I always go at it. But anyway. Welcome! As you obviously know now I'm from the more northern part of Wisconsin and on the net you can just call me Lunar. Cya around the forums.
