1122. I love the Call Boy song, it's si much fun!

@Reed Rothchild you are just figuring that out now?!

#18 Sonata Arctica- San Sebastian Sonata Arctica set a tone for what power metal could be. Toni Kakko is a heavy synth driver as well as the owner of a vocal range I am very jealous of. I really enjoy the early works too where their lyrics contained lots of melodrama, which was very unique for power metal at the time. All in all, great band with extremely high highs, "San Sebastián" being tops.

Good

Not quite catchy enough. I propose BoRing SekS

That's the Grammys for you.

I've done this. Not as Christmas presents per se, but my kids do enjoy having their own thing. My son was stoked when I gave him an extra wii I had laying around and Wii Fit+ to go with it!

Only seen 2. Not my cup of tea.

#19 The Gathering- Strange Machines There was a doom and gloom metal scene for a bit in the early to mid 90s. Lots of bands shunned the aggressive riffage in favor of a very mellow sound. The Gathering was just another mediocre band in that scene... till they had the sense to hire an extremely talented female vocalist to lead the way. And their sound was found! While The Gathering has drifted away from metal over the years and abandoning it entirely towards the end, "Strange Machines" remains a classic and solidly in my top 20.

The target audience for this movie was litterally everyone I'm thinking. And it was campy and well written enough to pull it off.

Okay... Back on topic, Kaboom for 5200 is pretty spectacular. Almost bought a CIB for the laughs a little while back.

I've always wondered why the FFC version is so hated. The modest load times here and there?

If you don't want to wait and are looking for a non illegal rom... It's how I first played it.

Paninis are just glorified grilled cheese sandwiches anyway! Load em up!

#20 Aghora- Atmas Heave These are starting to be the songs absolutely closest to my heart now. Many of us reading this are familiar with Cynic. They entered the Florida death metal scene and really transformed what metal could be by adding jazz fusion and progressive notes to it with lyrics that explored spirituality instead of the usual piling up of corpses. They made one amazing album that is now considered a classic and disbanded shortly after. Well, shortly after they disbanded, the Seans hooked up with another jazz fusion guitar player, Santiago Dobles, and a new band with a new but similar sound was born. I love these guys almost as much as I do Cynic and the album Formless in patucular. After this album, the Sean's left, probably because that much songwriting talent and technical skill can't just stay bottled up in an otherwise niche band forever. Also, here is appearance of another one of my top 5 metal drummers of all time, Sean Reinert.

Grilled cheese month? Making grilled cheeses my kids eat has been a challenge for a while. They are pretty grilled cheesed out. This will be a fun challenge!

Let's do it. I'm curious what my kids will eat if we start getting really creative! @Gloves

I still havent realized how bad most movies I like are!

Same. It's nice getting ideas for new meals and whatnot either way.

Just checked my master list and noticed the numbering is all fucked up. All fixed now!

#21 Evergrey- The Great Deceiver From the moment I first heard this song it became one of my favorites. It lead into the album perfectly and is prog and power metal near perfection. I have a fun little story somewhat related to this song. When this came out back in 03 it was basically on repeat for several weeks I was enjoying the album so much. My go to hobby at the time was Magic: The Gathering and the current set at the time was Champions of Kamigawa which featured little creatures called "Deceivers". Now there wasn't anyone nearly as metal as myself in my playgroup, so nobody understood the reference every time I played a deceiver. Because I had to SING deceiver everything I played one. One by one, despite nobody ever having heard an Evergrey song in their life, they began to sing when casting their deceiver until half the playgroup began doing it too! If anyone here has ever played MTG, you understand that there are some players that took the game way too seriously. I drove them mad when my goofiness became infectious! "It's a Cruel Deceiver!!!"

One of my favorite comedies ever. Pure classic! 10/10!

Link speaking absolutely could work. I've been reading the Twilight Princess manga lately and it's very good. Part of that is seeing Link's character develop through dialogue. I think it could very well work in a movie. Now I wonder if it's going to be an adaptation or original story.

I've been digging into the rest of their library after heathenreel while making this list. I must say I'm enjoying their more recent stuff. I did not enjoy The Scythe and kinda gave up on them.

Never played it, though it's said to be the best one ever made. One day I'll get around to it, though immersive open world games outside of Zelda really aren't my thing.
