I haven't even installed Diablo 2 on this laptop.  I have so many better games to play (which I don't).

I think that I have only heard the epic from that one, and I didn't really like it too much.  Too Krautrocky for my tastes.  But I do have a few of their lesser albums now and I quite like them.

By the epic do you mean the title track?  It's definitely the most "out there" song on the album, by a very long shot.

I'm on my laptop, which only has an Nvidia 7400 though
I rarely use my PC for gaming anymore. I already ordered Baldur's Gate 1&2 + the expansions on your recommendation, though

Shadow Circus' Willoughby is such a cool song.  Heart Based on an episode of the Twilight Zone.  One of their fans put the song to the episode and put it on YouTube, and it really works well.

Yes, I believe so.  It was a few years ago when I checked it out.

I want to play through the Metroid Prime series again, although I don't have a Wii so I can't play the third one.

Yeah, that song's definitely Close to the Edge (of Sanity).

I think I saw a friend playing a Metroid game once.  Looked quite fun.

I've played the original SNES game.  I got stuck.

Incredible, I can't get enough.

Wow, I never noticed the Music Quiz game on my iPod.  It is so fun, although I can usually recognize the song in one second.

How did it work with the visuals for you?

And what band was Kihlstedt in, my brain's gone dead.

Oh yes, Charming Hostess.

But there's two versions of that band.  One is avant-prog and the other isn't.

Joel, are you familiar with Pineapple Thief?  I think that you would like them.

The Metroid Prime games that I have played are fun, but IIRC, there are some annoying collection quest type parts towards the end of each, but they are worth it for the boss battles.
