I'll pay back my debt to you next voting session. I have to repay a bit of quid-pro-quo with Czechanada first. I like to be known for honouring such arrangements.

This election is getting intense.

I propose that Meritocratic States alter the post declaring the election to have some awesome fighting game music.

Flatout 2 had this choppy laggy and then would run smooth...other then maybe derbies, it used to run perfectly fine. It is from 2006?

Midtown MADNESS 2, the game from like 2002, was lagging like crap and not running smooth at all. I barely ever remember lag existing in that game even BEFORE I upgraded my graphics card.

What the hell? Clearly it isn't just my Firefox that is causing my computer weird problems.

Is there any updated news of GTA V for PC other than the codes found in the game?

I agree, AC4 had an amazing soundtrack.

My all time favorite is the final boss theme for Dark Souls. The game gives you all these themes during the epic boss fights that put you in suspense, but Gwyns theme is something different. It's a peaceful melody played on the piano, as you're facing down a fallen God. There's no Latin chanting, no grand orchestra, just the peaceful tranquility as you come to the apex of your pilgrimage.

My favorite game soundtrack is APB: Reloaded, but only on a technicality; you can import your own music into the game. :p

For an actual soundtrack, I'd go with Doom.
