Nice, what's your username?

I find it interesting how Corrian shuns the classics in favor of music from the last 15 years, and how Cadonica automatically loves anything released in the 1980s :p


Here are mine, just cuz:

Also thought this was interesting:

Anyone more RYM-obsessed than me? 10,000 visits...


Musictron (pretty lame name, but I couldn't think of anything). Also, I find it funny how other than 2010s and 2000s, 1980s is my lowest (Cadonica will be mad :p ).

Also, what's the one album from the 1960s?

The only other albums from the 1960s I rated other than The Beatles' are by The Who, I think.

To be honest, I'm actually surprised 80s is my highest ranking decade. Even when you consider my 80s obsession :p

EDIT:

Number of visits to Sisuberserk's RYM page*: 288

And my 4th RYM anniversary was 6 days ago :p

Furthermore, here's my owned statistics:
1960s - 1 (0.25%)
1970s - 30 (7.73%)
1980s - 72 (18.5%)
1990s - 49 (12.6%)
2000s - 88 (22.6%)
2010s - 148 (38.1%)

2010s is bloated because of huge number of singles/digital albums by various retro wave artists (Perturbator/FM Attack/Cluster Buster/Flash Arnold/Mitch Murder etc). It'd be cool if it allowed you to click on the decade to see the breakdown by release type (cd/vinyl/cassette)

So I've been messing around with this thing called the Akinator, which is something that pretty much is "20 Questions" but for fictional characters and real people for you to make it guess, and it is expanded widely by the community. But...I've been honestly REALLY impressed with how well it does. unsurprisingly, it guesses Game of Thrones characters in like 15 questions or less. And it also guessed the Xenomorph Alien of, well, Alien...

Anyway, I just did it for Justin K Broadrick, and at first it guessed Steven Wilson, then the 2nd try (Which is it asking more questions kinda like 20 questions does), and it got it right...Like dayum.

Just...be warned that it is weirdly addicting to challenge it. At least for me.

Edit: it got Varg right on the first try...

Akinator couldn't guess that I was thinking of Alexander Krull, the vocalist of the German band Atrocity, despite asking me dozens of questions.

Well, this Akinator thing is fun. Without using an unreasonably obscure character (*cough* Hurd! *cough*), I can't get it past a second guess so far. It took it two tries to get Chuck Schuldiner and Romana from Classic Doctor Who.

Akinator sure is fun. I tried to make it guess Elton John - it got it right after 24 questions.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.

My sister even did one of her own RP characters and it guessed, on the first try, that is was "Your OC (Own character)"...

And it even guessed specific Doctor's for me. I had the 10th Doctor in my head and it was like "The Tenth Doctor"...

Apparently Logic's latest album came out today. I guess I'll listen to it when I get home.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Not the most overly obscure reference I used, actually. Granted, your definition of obscure may vary.

NationStates General is a strange and frightening place. If you want to have the true horror experience, try participating in NSG while listening to the depraved dark ambient/death industrial of Brighter Death Now.
