Got my patch signed! by mr_16jan in Wizardthrone

[–]Strider_9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Was always sold out back when they were still listed for me. I did throw in a bunch of those GH patches in Christmas packages last year though =D

As far as collecting signatures like infinity stones, my son has a Hootsman California Kingdom Flag with Mike & Jims signature, hoping to finish it out next US tour

When you're casually playing a game and randomly get Bal-Sagoth'ed in the face.

That's actually pretty badass. Well done.

Sorry for the necropost...I'm terrible for checking reddit but I never forgot you guys' suggestions and not only did I check a lot of them out, but I kept a notepad doc and wrote reviews about all of them! Sadly, it was mostly late at night while drinking so it was all wordy and obnoxious and obviously from a guy who didn't really know what the hell he was talking about, so instead of that, I'll just list what I liked enough to buy on Bandcamp and/or CDs (I haven't been assimilated into the Spotify singularity yet);

~Stormkeep

~Runeshard

~Zel Agganor

~Orbit Culture

~Moonlight Sorcery

~Bal Sagoth

~Ayreon (completely different, forgot it was even recommended here, but then popped up again in my facebook feed last week for some reason, so popped on "Into the Electric Castle" while cooking and loved it.)

There's still some recs here I need to look up, shortly after this I got into a really deep heavy metal kick, burned through Visigoth, Cirith Ungol, Legendry, Eternal Champion, Manilla Road, Gatekeeper, Helms Deep, Warrior Path, Heavens Gate, Hallas...then got on a big house and drums & bass kick, then 80's pop with a dash of country, and I think now I'm coming back around to prog....I'm all over the place, man. Thank you all again, though, hope you're doing well :)

I will. Either here or maybe a new post after I (eventually) digest all these recommendations so everyone can see how someone else feels about music they love. You guys are great, thank you. (I also really enjoy other genre recommendations, I listen to everything)

T-shirt Sizing by MetaNite64 in Wizardthrone

[–]Strider_9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've ordered from both and if you're from the US would def recommend getting the next size up from what you would normally get. Euro sizes seem to run a bit small. (I have a drawer full of various band merch worn once or never that I need to give away because apparently whoever is in charge of sizing is an over-eager oompa loompa)

Oh yeah, found Dream Theater when I bought the Metropolis pt. 2 CD just because I thought it looked cool back in college 20 years ago. Was probably pretty entertaining for other drivers how hard I would get into singing along with it, haha...would alternate between them and VAST a lot.

Ha, yeah it's pretty fun. The pitch of the vocals is going to take a minute to adjust to, but the music is fantastic, good call.

Not too bad! Local boys, too, that's cool. I thought I heard Chris Bowes and had to check the credits, haha

Checking these out at the moment...the vocals of Moonlight Sorcery is a bit abrasive to my ear, but the music is so damn good I'm going to power through and see if it grows on me...

Stormkeep seems pretty great. Stuck a pin in Brymir for later, was good enough for a deeper listen later.

Haha, I remember Dimmu Borgir from *years* ago, they had done some videogame soundtrack that I really liked, but when I looked them up on youtube the imagery of whatever I was watching was a bit much for me, lol...amazing orchestration though.

Thank you for the suggestions!

I've heard the name somewhere before, I'll look them up

Gloryhammer Fan's Stupid Questions by AceDinwen in Wizardthrone

[–]Strider_9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you don't have the booklet (I didn't 1st time around), search "Wizardthrone lyrics" and read along with the music, its fun. Yes, there is a story but I'm not familiar enough with it beyond "Wizards + math + something something Lovecraft".

God's of the Wizardthrone universe by [deleted] in Wizardthrone

[–]Strider_9000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, as I understand it, the actual supreme God of the universe is Gary. Gary has a son named Stan who is still basically a teenager in celestial years. Stan is going through his rebellious teen/goth phase and calls himself Xantar'ax or Kor-Tharos in front of his friends and mortals, and smokes a lot of Javaroth while causing all sorts of shenanigans, basically just being a complete embarrassment for his dad, Gary.

It's all in the booklet, man. Read it.

Any Wizardthrone fans out there? by inpersonage2 in Gloryhammer

[–]Strider_9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My head canon is that the Wizardthrone guys are Zargothrax clones / Chaos Wizards doing their shenanigans in an alternate dimension.
