Song lyric quote thread - would people play it?

[Aerich]

Well, I'd play (lyrics and games) if I knew any answers. I've looked at both of them before, and was shut out in both cases.

I could deal with having it narrowed down to one (or a few) genres - I need a hint or a direction. I'm not good at pulling things out of the ether.

I don't play nearly enough games to be a worthy competitor. Haven't finished a single game in at least two years, either... Hardly played any, for that matter. Makes you wonder what the heck I'm doing here, spending my time at a games forum.

Same here, sorry Hiero.
As for the people who would like to participate in the Song Quotes thread but never have because they didn't know any of the quotes posted so far.. well if it is a genre problem I'm all for giving them a chance to post a "free" quote of their own and see if we can get it. The more people participating, the better. Say Aerich, SecretMaster and Timber each post a new quote as a sort of welcome (back) gift....

Bad idea? Good idea? I wouldn't mind personally if it means more people can join!

Terrible, terrible idea [img]tongue.gif[/img] That's like giving out prizes for sucking the hardest.... mmmmm, actually, yeah, sucking hard is quite prizeworthy, in the right context.....

[Melusine]

Haha. But you're wrong [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It has nothing to do with sucking (shut up - I can think of all the greasy puns you could make myself, thank you)(AND I think I'll take that prize.. thank you [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] ) but with the fact that almost all quotes that were posted in the last couple of threads were from modern metal or indie bands. And if they simply don't listen to that type of music, how are they ever going to be able to participate?

By broadening their music taste dear [img]smile.gif[/img]

And as for the prize-giving, well, I'll have to put your through a rigorous judging process first of course. If you train hard, and put in an exceptional effort on the day, you might just make the grade

edit: No, wait, how presumptuous of me! All of us here at IW will have to put you to the test, in order to judge whether your degree of suction truly is the hardest! Although I've got dibs on 'judging' you first!!!

Sure honey, dream on. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Ah well, I'll send you my credentials and references then, I think you'll find I'm the only suitable candidate for this award. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

BTW I disagree with you, still. Being forced to listen to metal is not a broadening of taste. [img]tongue.gif[/img] But all right, why don't we broaden our own tastes and post something different for once? I know I will try, I've guessed two of the new quotes.
All I'm saying is we should encourage new people joining. And Xen got lots of "free" quotes because he used Google all the time - I think it pleads for SecretMaster and Aerich that they never have.

*sigh* Look, Sarah, one of these days you're just going to have to swallow that bitter little pill and just agree with me unconditionally. None of this 'self-determination' stuff.... just complete and utter concurrence... it is unavoidable, it is your destiny.

Fine, throw them their consolation prizes! They can all rejoice and celebrate their ignorance should they be spineless enough to accept them!

Yes, Master.
