Gambling Songs? |

Having brought up Yu-Gi-Oh! in the future steps thread, and because you never know when there will be a high-stakes poker game for the fate of the universe.....(By the by, the use of metatalents and ancient Egyptian artifacts is allowed in card games in the YGO universe.)
"The Gambler"-Kenny Rogers. Generally good for card games, especially determining how strong your hand is compared to your opponents. Or could get Doug advice from a dead gambler (there are a couple of them in the YGO manga.)
"Luck Be a Lady Tonight"-Guys and Dolls. Makes sure your hot streak continues for the length of the song. Do *not* use while playing Jonouchi/Joey Wheeler of YGO, as Lady Luck came in with *him.*
"Playing With the Queen of Hearts"-Juice Newton. Really a song about running away from a woman, so would probably invoke some sort of movement power away from female opponents. In the card game context, bad for "female" cards, good for jokers, fools and clowns.
"Jack of Hearts"-Bob Dylan. Not actually much of a gambling song, more about a thief/conman. But it's *long* so whatever effect it has will last and last.
There's the whole YGO "Music to Duel By" album, but you can't get that in the YGO universe.
Any others?

When you get around to the Sailor Moon walk or Slayers walk, are we going to see a SAS or BESM character sheet for Looney Tunes?
I know we wont see a MAGIUS character sheet when you hit EVA. ^_^

Sooo... When can we expect an estimate on release of a new Chapter 1 of the next DW step?
Well c'mon! You knew someone had to ask eventually.
We'll try not to be too much like rabid crack weasels. ^_^

... or evening, or afternoon.
At risk of making this too long, I'll try to be brief.
1.)who is this guy?
-a man of many words but comperatively little content, or as some would put it, a habitual rambler. he's trying to get better, though.
-a CS student, when he's not being a slacker.
-a lurker on the UF forum.
-one of Nate's merry bunch of misfits.
-writer of the occasional piece of text.
-avid readed of a great number of things, including DW. but then, that's pretty much a given here.
2.)how did he get here?
-I can't remember right now, but it was either via EPU forum, or during my time of obsessive searching for more good BGC fics.
3.)no, here as in the forum.
-linked DW on another forum, linked the stories from that forum to this place, then figured it'd be ne gers to not introduce myself.
4.)what now?
-I'll likely be popping up here and there in-between extended periods of lurking about.
5.)that all?
-Yes.
-Griever

We dared to ask for more
But that was long before the nights began to burn
You would have thought we'd learned
You can't make promises all based upon tomorrow
Happiness, security are words we only borrowed
For is this the answer to our prayers, is this what God has sent?
Please understand this isn't what we meant
The future couldn't last, we nailed it to the past
With every word a trap that no one can take
Back from all the architects who find their towers leaning
And every prayer we pray at night has somehow lost its meaning
For is this the answer to our prayers, is this what God has sent?
Please understand this isn't what we meant
(bridge)
A long time ago when the world was pretty
Standing right here in a different city
They're not coming back any more
They're not coming back any...
(lead break)
Is this the answer to our prayers, is this what God has sent?
Please understand this isn't what we meant
Savatage, This Isn't What We Meant
Dead Winter Dead, 1996.
(In the superhero game I play in, the Ground Zero Memorial Concert that happened on 9/11/2002 - and where the event was far more destructive than it was in our world - this was the song that began it.)Brazil has decided you're cute.

Freedom's Star |

I'd have to pull the 45 record out of storage, but I do recall parts of it. At least the first stanza:
I'm going to tie my hope to Freedom's Star.
I'm going to show the world just what we are.
Tall young man, hold your head up high.
The gift of freedom you can not buy.
It's a song that praises and encourages freedom.
A song of freedom. A song that might be able to break addictions and various forms of mind control. A song that Doug MIGHT be able to use to help the victims of Arcanum's Servant Factor virus
I know that the band who played it are gospel singers, but this song and 'Don't Let the Rain Come Down'(B side) don't deal with religion. Why was it listed as a gospel song? Oh well.
