My daughter really likes Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio right now, but it's not that bad, she likes it cause it sounds like Amish Paradise which is one of her favorite songs :-)
Also she's 11, they have the weirdest taste in music:-D
I know when I was 11 my three favorite bands were Moody Blues, Fishbone and C+C Music Factory (shut up! The chick was hot and the dude was named Freedom, what's a prepubescent hippy kid to do:-D)

Eleven?
<Does quick math> Oh dear.
That would be Don McLean, Olivia Newton-John, and two soundtracks. Saturday Night Fever and the complete soundtrack (ie not just the songs) to the Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit. All on vinyl.

I couldn't tell you which of my music I was listening to back at 11 - I think that predates our CD player.
Weird Al and Garth Brooks (on cassette tape). Queen and Dr. Demento's Delights (on vinyl). And my mother's old mixtape... including a selection of songs from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Good times

The first music that I was interested in was orchestral soundtracks: The original Star Wars (before all the episode specificity), Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Superman The Movie. Well, you get the idea. John Williams was a strong influence...

Stuff I was listening to when I was 11?
AC/DC, Blondie, Cheap Trick, the Cars, Supertramp, Styx, Queen. Lots of good albums around 1979-80.

Alright, another confessional time....
I.... Actually liked the first D&D live action movie with Jeremy Irons.
Of course, I don't watch that one expecting it to be an actual tale of Ismyr. I watch it like it's a movie of an actual, honest to goodness game session(s?). You got the hammy GM who REALLY gets into his character (Jeremy Irons's over-acting), the thief that rolled horribly and was there for comic relief (Snails), the thief that happened to roll VERY well (Ridley), the newbie girl who decided to play a mage (Mirina of "Pretendsa"), and the pair of veteran players who know exactly who and what they're doing (the Dwarf fighter and the Elf ranger).
Watch it like that, and it's pretty hilarious, actually. Mainly because I'm sure many of us have been in a group with some similarities to it at some point or another.
All of this.
Plus, the actress for Mirina is insanely cute.
I confess that I tried thinking about adapting the pathfinder rpg to my setting Eotenhām/Jǫtunheimr, and realized that with a world that is ruled by agrarian shapeshifting giants ranging 7-10 meters in height, with humans living as either literal livestock or as mesolithic huntergatherer tribes in the wilderness, I'd have a hell of a time accomplishing that.
For example, on the occasion that a party made up of both giants and humans actually forms, how do the giants not outshine the humans utterly?
I'd thought up the idea (that was sitting around unformed anyway on basis of the fact that giants have utterly no spirituality or tendency towards personification whatsoever, their religion being based entirely on ancestor veneration) that giants cannot access magic while humans (and the æsir and vanir) can, but I don't know how well that turns the tables.
But then I realized that conceptualization of magic is entirely different than what is used in pathfinder and wondered if the idea is even possible.
The idea of how to adapt the classes to societies that don't really think in terms of that kind of classes (having no such thing as a military and thus no such thing as career soldiers) also raised more questions, and ble fart anthropologybleble

This plus Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, KISS.
Come to think of it, it's pretty much what I'm still listening to today.
Beach Boys, Beatles, Elvis....

I am a Carpathian, one rather popular writer thinks we're not human....<g>Are you absolutely certain everyone you meet is human, for instance?No one even knows what race they are themselves????? You're hardcore dude!
I want to play just one game where NOBODY (except the GM) knows what class or race any one is, and has to figure it out based upon physical description and actions taken.
Hasn't happened yet.
My homeland is directly north of those mountains. This amuses me.
I saw Tom and Huck starring Jonathan Taylor-Thomas in the theater, twice.
However in my defense I was going out with this girl at the time that was into fooling around in movie theaters and there was only two screens at the theater in my town, coincidentally I saw Broken Arrow three times that summer/fall :-)

I'd check that one out, but I'm in the middle of the 19th repeat for this song. :Þ
EDIT: great song! I was feeling pretty awful and this helped to make me feel better.

I find the CR for Skyrim to be incredibly annoying, it's either they fall before the awesomeness of my rampage or it's Hulk vs Loki, with me being Loki, it's frustrating:-(
A beautiful game tho that's for sure :-)
CR? crit range?
Would you like me to link to Shiny Happy People or are you more of a Who Let The Dogs Out kind of person?

challenge rating, I know they don't use that terminology in the game, just going with what people know around here:-)
yeah, short abbreviations like that cross wires in my head.

It's all about perspective i guess, i'm almost forty so i don't really talk to or hang out with my brothers, and my love of building shit and driving heavy equipment insulates me from the harshest of yelling (plus i'm really f#%$ing good at it:-D) yelling in construction is part of the scenery.

Yeah, I'm 22 and don't have much of a control over my financial position as of yet.
Also any money that I cant count in my hands distresses me.
I miss the days when owing someone was literally just cutting some runes on a stick and slicing it in half.
Also dang pretty photos especially that second one c:

Not sure what I should be jealous more of in that album of yours: your beard or your pathfinder collection c:
Incidentally, through serendipity I noticed that there was someone on this board named Hrút! ! ! ! !! !!!! !! !!! !! ! it was such an odd coincidence because one of my protagonists is named Hrūt
It's the anglo-saxon for "female hart", as in the story Heorot, "male hart", is named after her.

Today? Everything from Mettalica to Mozart.My confession: I liked Metallica better before a bus fell on the most/only talented member of the band.
I don't know if that qualifies as a confession so much as objective fact.

A beautiful game tho that's for sure :-)
Really? I've found the only way for me to truly hulk out is to break the system. (Like using the Resto loop or Telekinesis trick)
But for a good challenge that's not absurd I usually go Sword and Board on Expert mode with my smithing maxed out for Dragon Plate.
Of course once you put the time into enchanting all bets are off. Just like 3.PF, Magic > Everything Else.

How to break the system in Skyrim.
Option AStep 1. Get a High Stealth Skill.
Step 2. There is no Step 2.
Bonus points for mixing it with Archery.
Option B
Step 1. Get a high Enchanting skill.
Step 2. There is no Step 2
Bonus points for using that exploit to get arbitrarily high alchemy/enchanting and crafting infinity+1 gear
Option C
Step 1. Use items to drop Destruction spell mana costs to very low numbers (ideally 0%).
Step 2. Get that Destruction unlock that staggers(It's called "High Impact" or something)
Step 3. There is no step 3.
Bonus points for using really piddly spells against high level creatures that are unable to do anything against you because stagger lock. Double if you stop dragons from ever harming you the same way (you can't lock them, but you can interrupt all their attacks).
Option D
Step 1. Same as option C, but possibly with a different school
Step 2. Pick your spammable gamebreaker of choice
Step 3. There is no step 3
I think I might be missing a couple of options. I vaguely remember shield bash being able to do unpleasant things as well.
Yeah...Skyrim isn't that hard to break. I stumbled on option C first, myself, but any one of those will do it. Stealth is particularly egregious. I will never forget the time I was sneaking through a corridor wearing demonic looking spikey fullplate (full daedric gear), passed by a large pile of rubble, noticed my stealth indicator was starting to move(meaning I was a little too close to someone), turned to the side and noticed a witch 2 feet away facing directly towards me. And she was dropped by a single dagger tap before she even realized the demonic doom warrior was crouching inches away from her. And archery is even worse.
Good stuff:-)
