Well, first the question: Does Doug's metagift only react to a song if he understands the language it is sung in?
because I have one or two German songs wihch Doug could use. For example "Schrei nach liebe" by Die rzte. It could be used to pacify people.
"Schrei nach Liebe" Die rzte
du bist wirklich saudumm
darum gehts dir gut
hass ist deine attitde
stndig kocht dein blut
alles muss man dir erklren
weil du wirklich garnichts weisst
hchstwarscheinlich nicht einmal
was attitde heisst
deine gewalt ist nur ein stummer schrei nach liebe
deine springerstiefel sehnen sich nach zrtlichkeit
du hast nie gelernt dich zu artikulieren
und deine eltern hatten niemals fr dich zeit
oh oh oh arschloch
warum hast du angst vorm streicheln
was soll all' der terz
unterm lorbeerkranz mit eicheln
wei ich schlgt dein herz
und romantik ist fr dich
nicht blo graue theorie
zwischen strkraft und den onkelz
steht ne kuschelrock LP
deine gewalt ist nur ein stummer schrei nach liebe
deine springerstiefel sehnen sich nach zrtlichkeit
du hast nie gelernt dich zu artikulieren
und deine eltern hatten niemals fr dich zeit
oh oh oh arschloch
weil du probleme hast die keinen interessieren
weil du schi vorm schmusen hast
bist du ein faschist
du musst deinen selbsthass nicht auf andere projezieren
damit keiner merkt was fr ein lieber kerl du bist
oh oh oh
deine gewalt ist nur ein stummer schrei nach liebe
deine springerstiefel sehnen sich nach zrtlichkeit
du hast nie gelernt dich artizukulieren
und deine freundin die hat niemals fr dich zeit
oh oh oh arschloch
arschloch
arschloch

"Cry for love" Die rzte
you are really stupid
that's why you feel good
hate is your attitude
you always boil with rage
everything has to be explained to you
because you know absolutely nothing
probably not even
what attitude means
your violence is only a silent cry for love
your military boots long for tenderness
you never learned to articulate yourself
and your parents never had time for you
oh oh oh asshole
why are you afraid of caressing
what's all the fuss about
under the laurel wreath with acorns
I know beats your heart
and romantic is for you
not just dull theory
between Strkraft and the Onkelz
stands a Kuschelrock LP
your violence is only a silent cry for love
your military boots long for tenderness
you never learned to articulate yourself
and your parents never had time for you
oh oh oh asshole
because you have problems nobody cares about
because you're afraid of cuddling
you are a fascist
you don't have to project your self-hatred onto others
to conceal what a nice guy you are
oh oh oh
your violence is only a silent cry for love
your military boots long for tenderness
you never learned to articulate yourself
and your girlfriend never has time for you
oh oh oh asshole
asshole
asshole

Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth
===============================================
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
(instrumental)
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
Opens a portal to Heaven?

Well, as I said, I am speaking from almost total ignorance. After finishing the first volume of the manga yesterday, I'm still ignorant -- it bears no resemblance to what fragments of the anime I've seen. The manga version of YGO reads more like a high school version of The Twilight Zone than the TV show's Utena Plays Magic: The Gathering.

Sorry, but that other thread was getting too long. ^_^

VicBond007's Evangelion footage to Savatage's "This Isn't What We Meant".
Seriously brainfrying.Brazil has decided you're cute.

Because I get think too much while driving here's a mental picture for a song that wouldn't go away.
"Cowboy" - Kid Rock
Yes the song isn't the best but I just got a picture of Doug with his normal attire made to look like cowboy clothes. His coat looks like a dusty brown leather duster, a pair of chaps appear, a gun belt with holsters for and including two colt hand guns in it (working like the shotgun from "White Wedding"). We also can't forget a coil of rope to rope in steers and for the crowning touch a ten gallon hat fixed to his helmet. Maybe add a nice little police badge/star where the LT would normally go. Anyway I though I would pass along the picture in my head.

Shawn Earl

p.s. If this was brought up before I'm sorry for bringing it up again I couldn't find it in a search.

"I think I'm a clone now"... obviously a Doug simulacrum song. I don't think I have to tell you how fun this would be, even just to mess with people's minds.

I know it's in Doug's arsenal. I was surprised he didn't use it DWII.
What's the effect..turn him into Superman?...a Super Saiyan?...the Greatest American Hero?

AMVs done to the Bloodhound Gang's "Bad Touch"...
Mommy, make the bad man stop!
-={(Astynax)}=-

Been rereading the whole schmear, and I got to thinking about Mr. Big Bad.
Brilliant man. Totally mad, but brilliant. The Dark Geek in all of us... well, some of us. I'd admire him if he weren't so darn twisted; as it is, to some extent I pity him. (If Doug had shown up twenty or thirty years earlier... would J.D. have tried to work with him? Asked, politely, for gene donations, and gone the hero route while he had enough moral fiber left to manage it?)
There are two Big Things lurking in my head regarding the man, and I might as well address them both here.
One:
I have to wonder what the effect of "meeting" Quincy has been like for you, Bob, as well as for Doug. There's a story behind that...
Daniel Dumas, the villain of Mark Latus's BGC fics, struck a particular chord with me. Another recipient of the Stingray brain-augments, he thought the world needed more aggressive saving than Sylia was prepared to go for... and eventually killed the Sabers when he decided they were a threat to his plans.
Dumas was, and remains, the only fictional villain--fan or pro--who made me go into a towering fury to the point where I wanted to reach into the monitor and personally throttle him. It took me a while to realize just why that was.
By sheer coincidence, Mark had created a villain whose style, goals, and even name were a warped parallel of one of my own characters--from an old Champions game--and the one who was, more than any other, my self-insert: Dylan MacRoss, the Engineer, a hyperintelligent armored gadgeteer who was dedicated to making the world a better place. Dumas was exactly what MacRoss would have been had he deliberately and callously betrayed his own ideals to pursue his goals, the Engineer's mirror-universe twin, and the thought of me in his place filled me with loathing.
Now, here's James D. Quincy, presented as in some ways a dark mirror of Doug. And a gamer, to boot. And I'm wondering how much of that is really a dark mirror of Robert M. Schroeck, and if so, what was it like to write such an anti-you?
Two:
Consider Quincy, his every form and aspect.
Mad, of course, as mentioned above; but also brilliant. Sufficiently dedicated to spend fifty years in pursuit of a golden dream of heroism, and to remake himself into a megalomaniacal villain on behalf of that dream.
How proud he must have been of that young turk Mason, following in his footsteps to become a classic supervillain in his own right! And the mad Doctor Miriam, attacking the ADP building in flamboyant style... such promise.
It's important to remember that Quincy won. He got the world he'd dreamed of, even if--like a mirror-Moses--he didn't quite live to see its full flower.
Or... did he?
Consider again: this was a man who Knew The Rules, and abided by them. I'd be very surprised if, even in his Arcanum persona, he hadn't been expecting the possibility that, yes, Doug would find a way to escape and even Foil His Evil Plan.
And that would have been perfectly all right. Proper, even. (He left the helmet IN THE ROOM, for crying out loud!)
Could he even have anticipated Madigan's betrayal, as another classic trope? Welcomed it on some level?
And--let's face it--wouldn't such a proper villain have prepared for even the worst eventuality?
Quincy's body may be dead, but I do not and cannot believe that Quincy is gone. He'd have braintapes, private cloning facilities, his own version of the boomer-brain transfer process, something to allow him to pull off the classic Return from the Grave. And, Bob, if you say he didn't... well, I'll have no choice but to accuse you of lying.
And since it's fairly obvious that Largo is still around somewhere... things could get interesting down the line.
(Ian, any comments about their situations in Dead Bang?)

"An object at rest--CANNOT BE STOPPED!!!"

I was looking for a song in which Doug can summon a mecha if he has to. The opening song of The Big O by
Nagai Rui springs to mind.
Light a light in a lonely heart
Dying me with words Ye god!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Cast in the name of God
Ye not the guilty
We have came to team!
Big-O!
Swear an eternal oath
to this city that lost all of its past.
Light a light in a lonely heart
Dying me with words
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!
Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! -O! -O! Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! -O! -O! Big-O!
Big-O! Big-O! Big-O! Big-O!

Now I grant you the song is ripoff of the "Flash Gordon" song by Queen, but it's not bad.
Having an EVA sized mecha to pilot is nothing to sneeze at either.
