Irony, so sweet.

I agree. Being a slut never is a good idea anyway, since it increases the risk for STD's and accidental pregnancies if you happen to do unprotected sex. And sex is ALWAYS more enjoyable when it's emotional and special, at least for me.

Banned for banning me for my past sins

Obviously not, but let's get back on the topic of MLP?

We are generally too busy discussing Freeman and Ponies to miss anyone. Besides, it was a short period.

Same here, but I don't mind Pinkie.

With gas prices these days, living in a car can't be cheap.

A CGI trailer usually is just there to build hype and work as a "proof of concept" in a way. I think it looks interesting but I'm gonna wait until I see the game itself before I judge it. The story does seem intriguing though.

Banned for changing your name

Let's get back on topic, indeed.

Trying to wake up...

Blame the trailer for giving a false impression then, I suppose.

Sorry, I don't. Mainly because, as you might see upon closer inspection, I'm not all THAT good: Sorry, but your image just makes me think you're even better.

Banned because I don't give a flying ****.

10. THE PRODIGY - The Fat of the Land (XL Recordings, 1997) Prodigy are one of the few bands in the world you can really call cyberpunk. As I like to say, Liam Howlett is the cyber, the electronic backbone of the entire project, and Keith Flint and Maxim Reality are the punks that complete the edgy image. This album is my favourite for many reasons. One being that it has a lot of styles and still manages to sound cohesive, ranging from hiphop, breakbeat, rock, techno to even industrial, and it's an album that always gets me pumped up and ready for anything, a must-have when I'm out exercising as it seems to always energize me as much as a sixpack of Red Bull. You should also check out their latest album "Invaders Must Die" which pretty much is on par with this album. wmin5WkOuPw Favourite tracks: Serial Thrilla, Mindfields, Narayan Other recommended albums by this band: Music for the Jilted Generation, Invaders Must Die 9. TANGERINE DREAM - Hyperborea (Virgin Records, 1983) Tangerine Dream is a band that is very hard to describe. You have to experience them yourself to understand what they are about. Being largely instrumental, this album was released in their prime, when they even were doing movie soundtracks (most notably in the movies Firestarter and Legend). It can be described as a sort of Eastern feeling ambient electronica album that to this day has remained almost timeless and I find myself never being tired of it as it's always interesting to listen to it. Especially the title track is a song that will forever live on in my soul as it has touched me deeply for a reason I don't even know as it doesn't have any words. But it doesn't need any. Obukg_6thhE Favourite tracks: Hyperborea, Sphinx Lightning Other recommended albums by this band: Exit, Stratosfear 8. FAUNTS - M4 (Friendly Fire Recordings, 2006) Though technically an EP and not an album, this is a really new addition to my favourite albums ever, the biggest reason being that M4 Part II was featured as the ending theme in Mass Effect, and I am sure that is how most people have found out about these Canadians. The shere emotional power of this track alone brought me to tears, and the futuristic use of synthesizers and the reverberating guitar play resonated deeply with me and I felt it wasn't just a good track for Mass Effect, it was a rare instance where I actually bought the EP because of that track. The rest of the EP pretty much follows the same formula and this is one of my favourite mood albums to put on as it is very quiet at times and really works great as background music. To anyone who loved M4 Part II, I strongly recommend getting this EP, it's a great introduction to the band. gISlB1IdUjI Favourite tracks: M4 Part I, M4 Part II, Of Nature 7. DEPECHE MODE - Black Celebration (Mute Records, 1986) There are few pop albums that have as much emotional power as this album for me and to this day I consider it this band's greatest achievement next to their Violator album which comes a close second mostly due to its track "Enjoy the Silence". Black Celebration has a very reverby sound to it that for the time was almost unique and it gives the whole album the feeling of being a concert just for you. The lyrics are harsh at times, heartbreaking at others, but they do it with such elegance that you can't help but admire it, despite the dark gothic feeling to it all. I find more and more that this album resonates with my life and for me it's simply timeless, and a very good combination of Martin Gore's writing, Dave Gahan's voice and Alan Wilder's production skills. Highly recommended if you like good pop music. 27yErWOeJ-o Favourite tracks: Black Celebration, A Question of Lust, Stripped, But Not Tonight (bonus track) Other recommended albums by this band: Violator, Some Great Reward 6. COVENANT - United States of Mind (SubSpace Communications, 2000) Not to be confused with the Norwegian death metal band Kovenant (who changed their name after losing a court battle with this band), the Swedish trio of synthesizer heads have pretty much ruled the industrial charts since their inception in the late 80's. This was the first album I heard by them and in many ways I consider it their magnus opus. It blends powerful intense basslines and kick sounds with deep insightful and constantly poetic lyrics that will ring in your head for the rest of your life. Especially the last song "Still Life", which lyrics are made up of fragments of poetry, is one of the finest pieces of electronic music I have heard in this century. The final track "You can make your own music" is a little nod to John Cage's "4'33''" as it has the exact same running time and features only pure silence. A must have if you like dark and incredibly elegant electronic dance music. vJEe9yIs2ZE Favourite tracks: Like Tears In Rain, One World One Sky, Still Life Other recommended albums by this band: Skyshaper, Modern Ruin 5. PINK FLOYD - A Momentary Lapse of Reason (EMI, 1987) Pink Floyd has without a doubt had one of the most extensive and interesting careers of any rock band in the world, but in my opinon, the last two albums that were made under David Gilmour's direction will always be close to me as they were the first ones I listened to before I listened to their older stuff and in many ways, I prefer this album to their "The Wall" and "Dark Side of the Moon" albums which I have always felt were good, but insanely overrated and this one always has been a bit underrated to me for that. What makes this album for me is the way Gilmour blends electronic synthesizers with a big and powerful rock sound that has huge emotional depth and the melodies all go straight for your heart and never lets go. Especially the final track Sorrow is in my opinion one of the best rock tracks ever and it starts with a guitar solo that will guaranteed make anyone fond of good guitar sounds go quiet as a mouse as it is insanely powerful despite its use of synthesizers and drum machines. Pink Floyd have largely shaped my earlier taste in music and David Gilmour remains one of my guitar idols, and his open attitude towards the music will always inspire me. Y5EDqQtnRrc Favourite tracks: Learning to Fly, Terminal Frost, Sorrow Other recommended albums by this band: Wish You Were Here, The Division Bell 4. KRAFTWERK - The Man-Machine (Capitol Records, 1978) Kraftwerk to me are bigger than The Beatles, bigger than Elvis. They've shaped pretty much the entire genre of house music and techno alone, and it is impossible to imagine modern electronic music without them. This album to me personifies what they are all about. Cold driving electro beats, defined melodies that sound perfectly in sync with the themes they are conveying and sparse but to the point lyrics that sound almost simplistic, but this might be why they are so popular all over the world too. And in a way, the album has remained timeless as it almost describes how our modern world is, and how we ourselves are turning into man-machines, making this one of the few albums I consider truly cyberpunk. 3T65NpyfPkQ Favourite tracks: The Robots, Spacelab, The Man-Machine Other recommended albums by this band: Computer World, Electric Café/Techno Pop 3. SEABOUND - Double-Crosser (Dependent Records, 2006) It is hard to find albums that can touch you so deeply and almost frighten you so much at your own demons like Double-Crosser by the German industrial pop band Seabound can. With a very distinct sound that is harsh yet harmonic, dark yet touching and inspiring as hell, this album is one of the few albums that have managed to become incredibly personal to me. The lyrics always seem to mysteriously apply to my life and this is always hard to do when they also seem to tell a story or two on their own. After having released two similarily great albums, this final piece in their trilogy of albums is also their finest and I recommend it to anyone who are fond of emotionally deep music that can also make you dance. n-6xU0b6Hks Favourite tracks: The Promise, Castaway, October Song Other recommended albums by this band: No Sleep Demon, Beyond Flatline 2. MIND.IN.A.BOX - Crossroads (Dependent Records, 2007) Mind.In.A.Box is a couple of guys from Austria that after listening to this album became one of my favourite projects and I've kept a close eye on them since. Not just this album but their music in general attempts to do more than just be good music, they are telling a cohesive story that spans their entire catalogue and that makes it very fun to collect the previous two albums and the latest one as well in addition to this one. The music in general is really dark and intensely emotional, and I've found myself being brought to tears almost every time I listen to them as the music can be downright heartbreaking at times in its sadness and honesty, but there are always little glimpses of hope in there that makes it all worthwhile. What I love about this band is their sound, and if you played any of their songs I would instantly be able to recognize it. It's a very dark and analogue feeling that reminds me of a mix of the Blade Runner soundtrack and tracker music from the early 90's demo scene. Not surprising since these guys have started their career using tracker software. 1KPzoRaqaNM Favourite tracks: Amnesia, Identity, The Place Other recommended albums by this band: Lost Alone, Dreamweb, R.E.T.R.O 1. APOPTYGMA BERZERK - Welcome to Earth (Tatra Records, 2000) It doesn't happen often, but once or twice in a lifetime you hear an album that completely and utterly destroys any previous musical taste and sets an entirely new route and destination for you, even changing and shaping who you are and how your life is spent in the process. When I more or less stumbled upon this one-man project by Stephan L. Groth from Fredrikstad in Norway, it was like a revelation to me, and this album utterly blew my mind upon the first listen. To put it simply, the album blends clubby trance beats and melodies with vocals, and it has a very premanent industrial edge to it. It was the first time I had heard someone who actually did something like what we'd know call vocal trance, but it was more than that. The lyrics were deep, speaking of issues that I never knew I felt deep inside me. It reflected my feeling of alienation with the world, and completely resonated with me on a deeper level. And it wasn't just trance beats, a lot of the songs were more experimental and it even has a hidden chiptune track, introducing me to the entire world of 8bit music pretty much that made me connect so much with my technological childhood and keep in touch with it. This album was the first one I heard from this project, and ever since, he has been my number one favourite artist. In 2005, APB dropped their electro sound in favour of a more indie rock direction, although they still do use a lot of synthesizers. This album introduced me to EBM, chiptunes, industrial, futurepop, everything mixed into one package and since then it has been my number one inspiration whenever I make music of my own, so the importance of this album cannot be understated. KaxxXT1sUOc Favourite tracks: Starsign, Eclipse, Kathy's Song Other recommended albums by this artist: Harmonizer, 7

U RUL3!!!

Banned because that fits me, except the blonde hair.

I would but by then I would've eated them.

That was excellent!

I think it's kinda cool that Ross has inspired others to do this style of "acting while playing", including myself. Though I wouldn't exactly call most of these series Machinima since they involve no actual animation, only playing the game and making a voice for an otherwise silent protagonist.

I still hold to the theory that ponies are like crack. Seems legit.
