I didn't know Steel almost at all, just the occasional random post here and there or something Paragon would tell me he did back in the day. In my brief time(s) on the community writing staff, I came upon some stuff he had been working on about going to college. Needless to say, even those little tidbits of knowledge he had laid out were helpful to a confused high-school dropout trying to figure out what the fuck to do with his life. The guy I saw in those comparatively scant words was a brilliant mind who spoke what he felt and had the rhetoric to back his convictions.

I didn't know Steel like you guys did, and hearing of his demise and reading your responses makes me feel envious and sad that I did not.

I hate The Sun but this is fucking uncomfortable. Now that I know that this happens all the time in the UK though I think I'll go back to refreshing Facebook. Moral crisis averted.

That's not exactly what I'm looking for but it is awesome.

I guess just any sort of flowing chanting style like that, yeah. A lot of Bollywood songs seem to do it, but I have no idea where to even begin on that front. I'd look for more Shlomit Levi but this is all I can find.

Edit: Sorry I am terrible at describing music.

I'm looking for music in the languages above or similar languages, preferably with a prominent female singer. Flowing, chanting style of singing. Bollywood singers do it all the time, but there are about forty million Bollywood films and soundtracks so I don't even know where to begin there.

Something like this?

Shlomit Levi, doing some Yemenite chanting for Orphaned Land

I don't think you guys understand. Star Wars. BioWare. Knights of the Old Republic. A persistent world where I can show off my lightsaber to the ladies. Togruta. TOGRUTA. It would have to blow hard to deter me.

People will argue that the Xbox 360 is the fratboy-Halo-beer console or whatever. And I get that.

What Dreams May Come, fucking yes.

If you're looking for visually stimulating, Zhang Yimou's stuff is really impressive.

Hero
(This trailer doesn't really do it justice, also fan made)

House of Flying Daggers

Curse of the Golden Flower
(I couldn't stand this movie, and it gave me a headache. There's not as much fighting in it but it is visually impressive)

I can't wait. I will play anything Star Wars if it doesn't suck complete ball.

Today my brother and I were in his car going to pick up some chicken, and he played this Nickelback song:


And I had this weird nagging thought that I'd heard this somewhere bef-OH YEAH:


It's the same song! Not exactly of course, but when I start singing "How You Remind Me" by accident while listening to a song from, what, two albums later? There's a problem. Their song "Someday" is noticeably similar to "How You Remind Me" as well. What the hell is this?

Do any other bands do this shit so blatantly? I mean recycling riffs or whathaveyou on a minor scale isn't so bad, but this is just embarrassing.

Requiem for a Tower (orchestral version of Clint Mansell's "Lux Aeterna")

I'm sorry I don't do the favorites thing like, ever, but I seriously think this is the best piece of music ever made.

I've seen the trailer, and the facial animations seem kind of stiff. Overall though, really impressive stuff. The quick time events at least have small white symbols instead of GIGAN GOOFY BUTTONS so it meshes a bit more and is more subtle.

Wish I had a PS3...

Ah. Well that's an odd coincidence, and a good one I guess. My DVR is doing this thing where it's recording a mysterious "Unavailable" program that I can't stop recording and also it doesn't even go anywhere.

I was about to go into a rage, gotta have my Star Wars...

Mario Bros.

I know this movie is terrible, let me get that out of the way. Godawful. Would not pay for it in any form.

But it misses the mark so fucking widely that I have to give it credit. I realize RUN LEFT TO RIGHT 32 TIMES doesn't translate well onto screen, but making it a cyberpunk-ish science-fiction action comedy? That enters some brave new world of fucking-it-uppery.

If people got up in arms about it they'd probably lower the cost. Maybe.
