Also about the moderating a fan fic forum, Buch... well I've heard somewhere, that more guys moderate forums that were more geeky/wierd than this. As far as fanfic forums about science fiction video games with simulated alien sex goes. This forum is pretty normal. The only weird thing about it is just how normal it seems. There must be more going on then we're all aware of.

Uhh... I watch Cinema Snob. That's insane enough I guess.
You know what's funny? This forum seemed to be more level headed than the guys at the BioWare Social Network site. Even after countless of rants from us, we haven't gone that far as them.

Watching the Cinema Snob is cool. i mean, your watching obscure horror films that suck in a awesome way. Where else can you say 'I watched parts of Et: the porn.'

Even after countless of rants from us, we haven't gone that far as them. Well the community there is huge. We probably have the same percentage of crazy here *raises hand* as there but with the smaller group here there is not quite enough critical mass of crazy to make the reaction needed for the crazy to take over like there. It quite possibly really can be broken down to simple physics.

And this is what keeps bringing me back here. We all have the super-human ability to accept the fact that others might have a different opinion then ourselves. And no one ever blows up on some one else because of a difference of opinion. Maybe we even reflect on our own opinions upon reading those of others. Its like a healthy, well mannered intellectual collection of level head people who all happen to be Mass Effect fans. Easily one of the best forums in existence. And the only forum in which I proof read my posts to spot typos and grammatical errors. Also I kind of like Lady GaGa. Which is strange for me because I hate pop music. Shes just so... weird. Its memorizing.

Someone's fishing for Karma Actually I've been in a lot of internet forums over the years and usually get banned over something stupid (like proving one of the mods/admins is an idiot with facts). This is one of the few good forums that isn't full of drama and stupidity. And every one's ego is under control. Its so awesome.

Lady Gaga is cool, but then I like pop. Or rather, in particular synth pop. It's such a shame it practically died out in the 80s, to be replaced by cheap boy band pop, so I see Gaga as a sort of glorious ressurection of that

It's such a shame it practically died out in the 80s, to be replaced by cheap boy band pop, so I see Gaga as a sort of glorious ressurection of that I just like her because she's crazy. I can't see her going the route of Britney Spears. If Lady GaGa shaved her head every one else would too. Yet she too nuts to realize the pop culture power she has. Its wonderful. The era of 80's synth pop, unfortunately, can't ever happen again. There was some sort of cosmic alignment that sparked that particular genre. A unique set of perfect circumstances that simply cannot be recreated. Some might call it magic. I call it a steady stream of cocaine and the birth of digital technology. Combined with talent and the desire to make good music. Rather then just good money. As well as and entire generation raised on the music and culture of the 60s and 70s. I'm sure there were dozens of other factors but these seem to be the catalyst. Or at least the active ingredients.

I'm with renegade here. The combination of being raised by influences of the 60s and 70s, probably fewer drugs than we think and the advent of synthesizers became 80s pop. It gave us Cyndi Lauper, Men Without Hats, Huey Lewis and the News and God only knows how many other fine examples of good quality fluff pop. The industry was not yet threatened much by tape swapping and certainly not by downloading so the labels were more willing to take chances.
Sadly the internet may have had a role in killing this as making music became far more risky to produce. There will never be quite another set of artist like there were in the 80s. There was much very much to hate about the 80s but more to love. This is coming from someone who lived the golden age of his childhood in those days.

I honestly think they should just have a Obsidian/CDProjeckt game burning demonstration instead of a rally...
