Themed Mixtape Game

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Go on without me, I've got a lot under my plate right now.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

You must be a messy eater if it's under your plate.

Let me count these up.

 

[no country for old wainds]

technically having things under your plate makes things easier because it makes the plate closer to your mouth.

@HamburgerBoy for getting the Mark of the Beast as his average rating.

@Talos of Atmora for having my favorite song of the round and introducing me to a new band.

@Internally Deformed for complaining about the theme, rating like a shithead and clearly not knowing the author that inspired the theme.

Oh and here are my ratings.

[Elric of Melniboné]

COME ON POMPEY WHERES THE NEW THEME FOR FUCKS SAKE

 

[Phylactery]

Crypt of Kerberos - Stormbringer @Internally Deformed 6.38

Crypt of Kerberos – Stormbringer: Pretty good shit. The riffs are a little repetitive for my liking, but it's made up for by some neat lead work and a dark atmosphere. Whoever submitted this obviously has pretty good taste, so I'm guessing they'd have submitted something even better had the theme been a little less restrictive. 8/10

Hahaha. I was actually wondering who picked this song. I didn't think it would be him after reading the review so I thought it might've been CIG. Anyway you should all be ashamed that it came last.

 

[CiG]

In our defense this was a pretty Godly playlist.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I feel a bit bad winning with such an obvious song, especially over such a good pick as that Apollo Ra. But I had a theme in mind that I wanted to try, so I was feeling competitive.

Since my previous theme was a bit abstract and gave many players difficulty, this one's more "concrete". The new theme is BUILDINGS. You know, walls, temples, castles, monuments, etc. Songs about cities or towns probably don't fit unless there is an especial emphasis on the buildings themselves.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Ah, that's a good one. A theme limited to just castles would have yielded plenty of results, and I know just what I'd pick for such a theme. But, since it's broader than that, I'll have to look through other possibilities as well.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Uuugh...I can't think of anything yet.

 

[Elric of Melniboné]

My anticipation for this round is building.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

My anticipation for this round is building.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

How many submissions do we have so far? This was a tough pick for me but I found something.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

six

 

[Krow]

I'll throw my hat in the ring once again.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Trying to come up with a Saint Vitus song might be difficult this time.

 

[CiG]

I'll submit something in the next hour.
