Oh, I miss those nicknames. Baroque is gone? oh noo, he was cool. Vilden was cool as well, phylactery and butt too. Ehhh the era of social media is ruining erverything man

 

[no country for old wainds]

some of them pop up from time to time. haven’t seen vilden in years though.

So true.

i'd start a new game despite the fact that there are so few of us. But since there are so few of us, we have to agree on some game framework and the band/album that we all feel in the mood of listening to again. For example, right now I am on a great Judas Priest/Motorhead kick and it has been like that for a while. I would feel no urge to listen to Blind Guardian for instance at all atm.

 

[EspaDa]

So far it's me, CIG, RT, Slayed and Espada. Pretty sure we can find a few more stragglers.

EDIT: not sure how reliable Espada is though. He might have another gypsy wedding to attend to.

EDIT: +Vegard

As I can see btw, zerostatic is also pretty active nowadays. A cool guy as far as I can remember. @zerostatic

 

[no country for old wainds]

there are quite a few other active people, like bloopy, arg, opeth17, challenge_everything, dwellerinthedark, burkhard, radicalthrasher, sophii/terasophe, probably some others i'm forgetting. at some point i might actually try recruiting some people to this board, kinda doubt it'd work too well but it's worth a try.

i'd join in with something. you can't really do anything interesting with bands like priest and motorhead that we haven't already done though. maybe some kind of full discog or multi-album song survivor, but HBB tried that with satan one time and nobody bothered. maybe an album survivor, don't think we've tried that before. i guess the results would be predictable for some bands and it's also a bit too similar to the discog ranking games. hell we could even do a riff survivor for some albums, RiB would be fun for example. i feel like i enjoy these survivor games more than most do though.

aside from that there's always the mixtape game, we could do with freshening that up somehow though. could probably do a few that are based around country rather than lyrical themes. i'd still like to see some polls for top ten albums from countries as well, and the other decade polls. depends if anyone can be bothered to run them lol.

anyone got any bright ideas for other games we haven't done before? i do want to avoid stuff where i'm forced to listen to a bunch of bad albums or tons of albums by the same band in a row, it's just too exhausting which is why i keep ending up not participating in the discog rankings.

 

[EspaDa]

im up for anything actually. the only thing is that we have to agree on some band/album that actually people will want to listen to. sometimes when I see a band I barely even know or am aware that it doesnt interest me much I just stop caring.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i mean, we literally did a democratic vote to decide the discography ranking threads, there isn't really a better way of gauging collective interest than that lol

 

[EspaDa]

let's do that again, shall we?

 

[no country for old wainds]

can do since the BG one died, but again i prob won't participate in a lot of them for the reasons i said. plus we've already done priest and motorhead

I've been listening to a lot of 90s Gotherburg/Melodic death metal

Go ahead, call me a faggot, I couldn't care less. Just makes me feel a bit nostalgic about a certain period in my life and gets me in my feelings when I'm driving to work.

I'm happy to run some more polls. Guess we're up to the 90s for decades, but anyone who missed the 70s & 80s threads could go back and see how their lists compare to the results. I'll get the Gorguts ranking started sometime too since that's a nice small discography and we were gonna do it next anyway. Should any Gorguts EPs/demos be included?

I liked the 10 Song Shuffle Game. Might bump it if nobody else does. The mixtape games never interested me, but if it was something like searching Bandcamp for obscure tracks on a theme from bands we've never heard before it might. Probably the opposite of what anyone else would enjoy though if the bands are likely to be obscure for a reason.

 

[CiG]

Honestly the main thing that interests me is a mixtape game revival. That was fun, plus you get to listen to a bunch of random shit and see what other people like etc. That was good shit until it died.

 

[EspaDa]

so lets do sth. be it a mixtape game or song survivor

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I vote for mixtape game, same format as before. Never got old for me.

 

[EspaDa]

I wish this forum were so active as it was back in the day. Good times.

All of the fucking weirdos drove away all the halfway decent folks for the most part

 

[EspaDa]

Wtf has happened to HBB btw? Thought he was never going to leave.

 

[CiG]

He's still very active on RYM, guess he just got bored with this place.
