That would be like judging Yes on the basis of "Owner of a Lonely Heart."
And by the way, why is "Carry On Wayward Son" crapped on? When else do you get to hear kick ass organ soloing, quasi-religious lyrics, and stunning riffs on FM radio?
I agree, you should judge an entire band's career by one song, but seriously, "Carry On" is a great song. He only likes classic rock that is on games that he has played. And also the songs that mention balls.
No offense, but your might need to take your brother to a therapist along with a wheelbarrow full of cash.
He also just defended his listening to rap by saying "I don't even pay attention to it", my rebuttal was "What's the point of listening to something you won't pay full attention to?" No answer.

Personally, I have always liked Carry On Wayward Son and Dust In The Wind, but with my tastes that probably comes as absolutely no surprise to anyone. i.e. as stated by Captain Obvious.

Nope. My sister was listening to "Carry on My Wayward Son" because it was once on a show she likes (Supernatural) because she likes to stare at one of the actors. His taste in music is something to be desired.
Listened to Epignosis's album today. I must say, it was pretty good. It made me want to write my own Prog whenever I get the chance.
I am pleased you liked it.
Yeah, I can see why it's so popular around here. You seem to be getting really good reviews on it, so congratulations. I'm surprised that Bird and Alex gave it 5 stars after listening to their music (their music is Avant-prog, while yours was definitely Symphonic.) Still, great work, and I'm looking forward to your next release.
Well, Alex and David have some extremely eclectic tastes. Alex goes on these kicks where he listens to nothing but one kind of music for months, and then all of a sudden that kind of music loses its appeal and its onto something else.
David pretty consistently likes metal, but likes most anything else too.

Headache from yesterday gone, now DOMS (is that what you call "muscular fever"?) in my right arm's elbow joint, either an unexplainable reaction out of doing nothing out of the ordinary the day before, either a psychological trigger due to hearing that tomorrow's I'll spend 6 hours in supermarkets shopping with my father.
Also thinking of taking a break from PA until 2010, but that probably won't happen.

Hmm, only thing I've stuck with integrated so far on my PC is the sound card, which is supposedly a high-def 7.1 surround compatible card. I've had no complaints with it so far, but I still want to get a sound card. I'm not sure if the integrated card would affect games that much or not, depends on the card, as you said.

One time I surfed a GYBE song. Throughout the entire song there was one little gray box, and nothing else, all uphill too.
Why can't you play it, doesn't the game like Windows 7 or something?
I got this pc with integrated graphics, just like my old pc, but this one for some reason can't handle it. I don't know if it's because I'm running Windows 7 that it is like that, or if it is just that bad of a graphics chip. I am looking for a new one, anything would do really. I have tried running a game that I could on my old one, but it lags so bad it is unplayable. It is really annoying, but it is kind of a good thing, because there is data on my old hard drive that I want to save, but I don't care to get it. If I set up my old pc, I won't have an excuse. The downside to that is that it is terribly slow. I honestly don't know how I put up with it for so long without kicking it.
