Happy Hump Day Survey!

I have a playlist of 163 songs, I'll try not to post all of them.

(also my ringtone)

(typically sung in my car at the top of my lungs - don't judge me)
One more, one more!

And if someone posts "I Gotta Feeling", I'll hit you. [size=8](kidding)[/size] [size=5](kinda)[/size]

Mine are weird...

Currently it is the opening music for Pillars of Eternity. Because that's how I start my day these days!

<3 La Roux - Demiurge turned me on to her when he made a playlist for Elysium a ways back.

Used to be rock, but it's invariably electronic music for me these days.

From my Energize iTunes playlist...

Now in a YouTube playlist for your listening pleasure!

(okay, maybe a little rock...)

SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!

I am disappointed by the lack of game music from you so-called gamers. :p

I don't listen to game music outside of games. Sort of in the same way I don't listen to movie scores outside of movies. I think they are better suited to the context for which they are created.

The Black Mages is appropriate for almost every occasion.

oooh, I should play a round of Vib Ribbon with The Black Mages...

Challenge accepted!

This album is fantastic and has been eating my brain lately. This track is one of the most moving.

And here's the title track by Jeremy Soule himself... which is a badass version of the Morrowind soundtrack.

In my Gamer Nation, this will be the national anthem

Okay, I tried to give this some thought, because my preferred style of music is basically "get pumped" music. But music that fills me with energy for going out, for waking up, for being social, and in some surprising cases, getting me out of depression, is what I ultimately tried to narrow it down by.

It's still a surprisingly lengthy list. So I'll just hyperlink them instead of embedding them.

Land of the Dead by Orden Ogan

Natural High by Hammerfall

I'm Alive by Helloween

Icarus (Borne on Wings of Steel) by Kansas

Tyranny of Steel by Iron Savior

The Loser by Elvenking

Loneliness by Mercenary (don't judge me)

Under the Ice by Blind Guardian

Glad it's not just me!

Point taken!

And this is for PaladinTom, because this is also a baddass version of the Morrowind theme. Same went for the Skyrim theme, they're both variations on the Morrowind Theme (which is pure awesomeness, but softer and doesn't go in a "pumped" playlist IMHO).

Little disappointed no one posted this.

In case you guys don't know what all he's refering to, Chris listens to a lot of power metal. Power metal is fast and explosive and best exemplified by the song below:

Garion, if that's Dragonforce I swear I'm going to force you to choke down on the PSP you gifted me while the theme song to Tactics Ogre plays at full volume.

I feel like I am missing an inside joke here...

Yes, it's Dragonforce. And yes, it's Through The Fire And The Flames.

And what's so wrong with it? It's a great song!

This is my Power Song on my Ipod

Followed by this:

and this has somehow made it into my list:

I've got one to top you all:

HAPPY HUMP DAY!

What are the best movie scenes that contain either a bird, reptile, or insect?

Dunno, I'm still too busy shaking it like like Otis told me to!

The first two that come to mind...

(Rodan and Mothra are also in that scene, but the only clip I could find was of terrible quality).

Godzilla's "kiss of death" from the 2014 movie:

The first thing I thought of:
