Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Flipz]

Correct! I believe that I've also had Sorrow hum/whistle it on occasion.

Though I prefer this version:

I was first introduced to the song through the Adam Lambert rendition, as performed on General Hospital:

I will always associate this song with James Franco because of this.

[Pyrovisionary]

There are pirates in Duplovia. Funny thing really. My last Quest Idea was going to have something Just like this!

Battle 1/4 (Hopefully) /Check

[Scorpiox]

Just what I was thinking!

Although the version in Donnie Darko is better.

Though I prefer this version:

Damn, should have known this would happen. For this reason, I shan't risk posting Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World, lest you exclaim your life-long love for Nirvana.

[Scubacarrot]

I like Nirvana's version better.

[Scorpiox]

I like Nirvana's version better.

Throws grenade.

[Endgame]

4. Partial Success: The ticking grenade lands soundly at Scubacarrot's feet.

I don't listen to music much - almost never, so I can't offer a good opinion on this one.

Also, Legonater - 1 page into your first quest and suddenly pirates. Awesome!

Another Coincidence.. I like Nirvana.

Should have gotten Mizuki.

[Scubacarrot]

Well you can't argue about taste, really. That said, I am not at all bashing Bowie, I listen to him as well, but for some reasons, many of his songs I like better as covers. (Star One's Space oddity, this one for example).

Also, people need to get over their irrational hatred towards covers. Pro tip, if you're even remotely into Power Metal, listen to Northern Kings' two albums, your opinions on covers will be forever positive.

[Flipz]

many of his songs I like better as covers.

I feel the same way about Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.

[Scubacarrot]

I feel the same way about Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift.

I wouldn't know any artists that cover those two, and I don't listen to them, so I can't say.

[Pyrovisionary]

I still prefer the cover version of still alive

Encrypted in this message is the answer to all of your musical problems.

(Encrypted in the encryption message is the answer to life the meaning and everything)

Back to heroica! I like pirates.

I'm only joking, I have no real aversion to musical opinions. That said, bashing Bowie should be made an act of international treason.

Behold:

The second cover will actually take on some storyline significance eventually.

To keep on the musical side of things, and a resurrection of the random question of the unspecified time period, what would your Character's Entrance Music be (in an over the top action flick)?

I think for Guts it could be:

Or:

Going more for a feel and sound of the song than actual lyrics.

Still not my cup of tea.

I am afraid sarge gets an entire trailer.

[/url]

But If it must be a song.

It's have to Be Black Math by the white stripes. Or Still Alive just for the lyrics.

For this, I'm going for the lyrics, sound and feel of this song, plus the fact that it is literally about viking raiders coming west. Seriously, it's practically written for Haldor.

[Endgame]

Time to go completely over the top for no discernable reason!

In any normal scenario where everything is not made out of Explodium, it probably would be Mad World.

But hey, it is still pretty fitting in terms of lyrics (and the fact the singer is just an incredibly lost swordsman)

[Scubacarrot]

While absolutely a cool song (and trailer, and game) I think this fits Sarge more, what do you think?

Great choice, I think.

God I have got to listen to them more. I Never go to the depths of my spotify Starred list. Yeah, It's pretty much perfect!

[Flipz]

For Arthur it would have to be this:

Or else this:

[Pyrovisionary]

We have discussed this alot, But, If Heroica was a TV show, Who would play your Character? For me, It'd Have to be Billy Connolly.

[The Legonater]

This song would notably for the older more angsty Dyric with all the lyrics of subjugation and such. Can't find any good songs that would fit him as he is right now, though. Edited April 19, 2013 by The Legonater

[Flipz]

Costy, that is an awesome stat build for a starting Berserker, and great representation in the new picture as well. Well done!

[Endgame]

Agreed, Costy - you've been min-maxing right under our noses!
