Okay, uh, third time's a charm here, because I'm having issues uploading recordings directly to Elton, it keeps on literally just saying error and then throwing me back to the main page, and kicking me out of the forum, so, uh, anyways, I've changed quite a bit, as you can probably tell from my setup and everything else besides.
So, that being said, I thought I would, um, um, um, um, I thought I would kind of, excuse me, tell everybody a little bit about myself, who I am, what I like, what I do, what I don't do, what I don't like, who I'm not, etc., etc., so, uh, my real name's, uh, Gage Long, I'm from, uh, I'm from, uh, northern Pennsylvania, uh, I grew up, uh, maybe five minutes away from, uh, the town where King Benjamin was, uh,
founded in, if that gives you an idea of about where I live, that's as, uh, accurate as I'm giving you in locations, so anybody, like, you're trying to geolocate me, you're not going to find me anyway.
Uh, anyways, I'm, uh, 18 years old, I'm a criminal justice student, uh, at the moment, um, what else?
I love music, uh, I love, uh, metalcore, excuse me, uh.
Some of my favorite bands include Memphis Mayfire, um, Wage War, Eminence, uh, I like Damn Any Affliction, but I don't think I would consider them my favorite band, or, like, in that category because of the material they usually discuss, but I do like some of their songs, like, uh, Forever, uh, Past Blue and Brown Ice are both really good songs, uh, really good acoustic cover of Past Blue and Brown Ice, actually, by, uh,
What, uh, uh, what's, uh, what's his name?
Uh, Tim has her on YouTube, if anyone here loves Amity, I implore you to listen to that cover, it is very good.
Um, also, uh, Christina Rotondo has a very good acoustic cover, even though her style isn't to everybody's taste.
Um, I love Memphis Mayfire, my favorite albums from there are, uh, Unconditional and Remade in Misery.
My favorite songs are The Sinner, The Light I Hold, um.
Um, Speechless, uh, Need To Be, um, damn it, what else, uh, The Fight, uh, The Fight With Sin, and, uh, The Other Side.
Uh, also, No Ordinary Love is a very good song, Blood and Water is not the type of song you want to listen to, but some people are late to it, I like this song.
Um, uh, I like Wage War, at least prior to Sigma era.
Sigma was an objectively terrible album.
Um.
Singles that they're releasing now are bad, Song of the Swamp was genuinely disappointing, uh.
Britton Bond has really good screams, but Cody Quistad does not get enough airtime anymore, and that's sad, because he had some of the best cleans I've ever heard, uh.
Also, anybody trying to say Wage War is, uh, that Cody is, like, uh, trying to frontman the band, don't know what they're talking about.
That's an opinion, you can debate me on it if you wish.
Uh, my favorite albums.
My favorite albums from them are Blueprints and Deadweight.
Favorite songs are Blueprint, uh, from Wage War, I mean, or Blueprints, 21, uh, If Tomorrow Never Comes, Don't Let Me Fade Away, Gravity, uh, Circle the Drain.
Um.
Deadweight is a good one, uh.
I only like the acoustic of Magnetic, and that's the kind of song that sounds better live.
Uh, if you've, uh, heard the song and don't like it, I implore you to listen to one of the live, uh, performances.
I think they are much better, and involve some audience participation, which is always good.
I also like, uh, Imminence, which is a Swedish, uh, I guess I would classify it, some people call them, like, uh, orchestral deafcore.
I don't think that's an accurate descriptor of them, or they're more closer to the, uh, symphonic subgenre.
Uh, favorite songs from them are, uh, God-Fearing Man, Heaven in Hiding.
Uh.
And, uh, Alleviate, uh, and Erase.
What else, uh.
I also love some, like, uh, MLP adjacent, like, music and fan music.
Uh, Prince Whatever is a good one.
Uh, songs from them I like are, uh, Elemental, Miscommunication, Solidarity.
Uh.
What else, uh.
The Fight Inside.
I'm, like, judging for, I'm, like, tired here.
Also, uh.
Not Letting Go, Enemy Undefined, the whole, like, uh, LCND series, or Sweetie Bot, and what have you.
Uh.
That, that's a very good series right there.
Uh.
Goodbye is a good one.
Uh.
Yes.
What else, uh.
Ponyphonic, uh.
Dane Larson is, uh, very good.

Favorite books.
Include, uh, Discworld by Terry Pratchett.
I love Terry Pratchett.
I love dry British humor and sarcasm.
Uh.
I love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I've read the entire thing.
Even though it's very obvious to anybody who's read a series at least once that Douglas Adams got very sick of writing it towards the end.
But nonetheless, it's a pretty good series.
Uh.
Good Omens is a, basically, a definition of a collab that works.
Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
Very good.
Uh.
Very good, uh.
Very good novel all around.
Um.
The Case of the Toxic Spellbreaker by Harry Turtledove.
I love Harry Turtledove in general, but that's my favorite of his.
Uh.
I love his alternate history stuff because that's, uh, one of my favorite genres of fantasy is science fantasy.
And that's basically a, uh, an urban fantasy re-imagining of our, of our world in a, uh, magic, in a magical parallel universe.
I really enjoy that kind of, uh, alternate history world, uh, world building because I do a lot of world building myself and writing.
Uh.

I've just recently got back into it.
I like, uh, the, uh, Mortal Engines series.
Uh, Beginning of Pratercities.
