The Black Mages

In correspondence to my previous post, I’ll reveal another one of my favorite bands. Because of my huge obession with video games (especially roleplaying), I’ve taken a liking to a band named “The Black Mages”.

All the music they have covered were songs from various Final Fantasy games. All of which are brilliantly well done. I greatly recommend checking out this band if you have any interest in the Final Fantasy series as I’m sure you will reminisce of old events while listening to this music.

Currently they have two cd’s released: “The Black Mages” and “From the skies above: The Black Mages”. Both are extreamly well done, though I prefer the music from the second cd more. Below is a torrent for both cds.

• Black Mages I and II

If you already have the cd’s and you’re looking for something else of enjoyment you can check this out:

• The Black Mages Live – Divx (.avi) Torrent
• From the skies above: The Black Mages Live – Divx (.avi) Torrent

Well I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Well the music….The actual people playing are pretty goofy looking as my friend pointed out to me, but atleast the music is good….

Sounds of Muse’ic

Everyone has there own favorite music so I figured I should post my own. I listen to alot of music, and by alot I can tell you that my older computers hard disk drive has about 20 gigs of random music stored on it. To me, one particular band always stood out from that big 20 gig music folder. Although I would listen to alot of music, I always drift back to one band named “Muse“.

This was never the ordinary band. I’ve followed along all there albums and each one has been completely different, aswell as every song ranging in style. It seems that every song has a unique feel aswell as a catchy undertone. This is what I love about them so much. The key songs that I like the most tend to fall more towards the heavy genre: Suppermassive Black Hole, Citizen Erased, Time is running out, and Muscle Museum. If you like any heavy music with a more poetic feel, you’ll definitely enjoy Muse.

Below is a link to a torrent where you can download the music collection.

Anterior Monitor Problem

So alot of people coming from final fantasy ask me computer related questions because I’m supposidly jesus or something (I don’t blame them, I really am). But I’ve never quite had a computer question like this one. It was later at night so all I could do is laugh and not think of a logical solution.

The Daryl: question,,, what do i do if an ant is walking inside my monitor?
Avanarius: what the fuck
The Daryl: like inside the screen
Avanarius: crt monitor?
The Daryl: crt?
The Daryl: idk it’s a flat screen
Avanarius: aka big box monitor
The Daryl: nah it’s flat
The Daryl: plasma or lcd idk which two its hd though
The Daryl: so one or the other i guess
Avanarius: hmmm thats a dilly of a pickle
The Daryl: it’s like inside the actual screen but i can see it on the image
Avanarius: thats like the oddest computer question anyones asked me lol
The Daryl: walking all over my itunes lol
The Daryl: lmao
Avanarius: surprized it hasnt got electricuted
The Daryl: i try to squish it but no result
Avanarius: lmao
Avanarius: thats so awesome
Avanarius: well from my point of view
The Daryl: fuckin bullet ant
Avanarius: how the hell did it get in there?
The Daryl: no idea
The Daryl: i noticed it a while ago
The Daryl: but i thought it was like dust or some shit
The Daryl: but now it’s walking around
Avanarius: lmao
Avanarius: might have to take monitor apart….but I’ve never done that before
Avanarius: I dont even know if its possible, I’d assume it is
The Daryl: i wouldn’t be able to do that
The Daryl: i don’t think it’s that serious
The Daryl: hopefully it dies on a corner or something so i don’t have to look at it
Avanarius: try some of that ant lure poison stuff at any openings and tip the monitor on its front side at night or something
The Daryl: i’ll have to buy some

I formally apologize for the joke in the title.

Pwned

So yesterday I got bored and decided to take a look at the razor-gator website after reading over my last post. Apparently I could get a free razor-gator if I linked my site to there’s. Well, look I already did. So I figured I could just do what they say and they would send me a free razor.

After filling out the email and sending it in, I got a reply this morning saying that the terms used to describe the razor on my site were not accurate, so needless to say I was quite dissapointed. I wrote them back saying I would correct the terms and email them back, but not before posting this link:

Man Killed Over Razor-Gator

Pwned bitches, now time to write that email.

Uncharmable?

So I may not be Bill Nye the Science Guy, but it doesn’t take a scientist to figure out what Square Enix is trying to do to Beastmaster. But before I get ahead on that, I’ll let you know that I’ve happily charmed scorpions my entire god damn life leveling beastmaster, and I was damn well enjoying it until an expansion called Aht Urghan came along.

Basically here’s the story – I was going to Halvung to take a look around like I would do in any newly released zone as Beastmaster. I would normally go Beastmaster because it’s generally the safest route for exploring new areas but today seems it was not the case. I get into Halvung, and run all the way through zoning into Mount Zhayolm which I also run all the way through to only zone back into Halvung; but a harder part of the zone. Like normal, I sneak up, and head out. This is where things got nasty. Part way into the zone I see an Impossible to Gauge Troll which I assumed would be true sight, so I decide to call a pet and see if it was true sight because at this point I could run back to zone if it was. Turns out these mobs were not true sight but the Trolls which checked Very Tough were! So after running past the Impossible to Gauge ones towards the Very Tough ones I get aggro by one of these things. I thought it would be smart to charm a near by Scorpion which conned Tough. This was a very bad idea. These Scorpions were infact “Uncharmable”.

So basically I ended up dying on my Beastmaster and deleveled to 74 because Square Enix thought it would be funny to make these scorpions uncharmable. I think I can quote somewhere that they would not change the playability of Beastmaster solo, but this is clearly not the case. Looking back on this is moderately funny, but at the time it was not.

I kinda hope Square Enix lightens up on the nerf stick for Beastmaster and lets them solo a little longer. Until then, I’m going to have to get out my Razor-Gator and start cutting some bitches.

I am your god

Your lord, savior, and beastmaster: Avanarius. That is all.

YTMND Soundtracks

In my previous post I mentioned something called the YTMND (You’re the man now dog) Soundtrack. Well I thought I’d share a few songs from the soundtrack aswell as a list with all the songs on the entire collection (It’s alot of music). I also promised to upload River Side by Joe Hisaishi so here it is:

• River Side – Joe Hisaishi

Here is a few songs from the ytmnd soundtrack that I thought would be suitible for my website. To listen to them, change the .twv extention to .zip and then extract the songs and enjoy!

• Take me out – Franz Ferdinand (PSP Commerical song)
• Dragostea din tei – O-Zone (It’s the mia mia song)
• Ding Dong Song – Gunther (In case you haven’t heard it…..)

Below is the song list to the ytmnd soundtrack and also a torrent to download it.

• Soundtrack Song List
• Volume 1-9 Torrent
• Volume 10 Torrent
• Volume 11 Torrent
• Volume 12 Torrent

Sorry for the typos on the soundtrack list aswell as the poor seed/leacher ratios on the torrents. I couldn’t find any other better ones; can search for them on google if you want to or ask me in a comment and I’ll send them over AIM.

Studio Ghibli

These are the masterpieces of movies. What I concider the godfather of animes, but you’re probably wondering what they are. Well they are the Studio Ghibli anime films. Studio Ghibli you’ve probably never heard of but you may have seen the movie “Spirited Away“.

I saw the movie “Spirited Away” when it was first released in North American theaters. This was back in 2001 and I had forgotten about this brilliant film up until recently. I rediscoved it when I downloaded a ytmnd.com soundtrack which had a song from Joe Hisaishi called River Side (I will upload it later) which actually reminded me of this long forgotten movie. So I did some research and it turned out that Joe Hisaishi did the music composition for “Spirited Away” aswell as numerous other films which all belonged to the Studio Ghibli collection.

This alone was enough to encourge me to buy “Spirited Away” as well as the newer 2005 movie “Howl’s Moving Castle“. Both of these movies deserve proper recognition from me! Howl’s is a mysterious film where a young girl loses faith in herself and is later turned into a 90 year old women in which she learns to build faith in herself through the curse placed on her. Spirited Away is a more straight forward film where a young girl’s world is turned upside down where spirits and other creatures roam the bathwaters of a forbidden amusement park.

The director of both these movies, Hayao Miyazaki, is a legend in my books and I greatly recommend watching all his films. Later this month I plan to buy more of the Studio Ghibli films including: Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa, and Totoro.

Top three pictures are Spirited Away, and last three are Howl’s Moving Castle.

Salt Slug Maze

I had to post this, I found it very entertaining but very cruel =( That salt could be used on tasty french fries.
