It occured to me, just now as I was pondering what midi to use this week, that there's a severe lack of Metroid music in the archive. Although not consistantly great (can we say, "Fusion"?), the series' music remains some of my favorite. I doubt I'll ever forget tunes like the original Brinstar theme, Super Metroid's west Brinstar theme, the original Kraid area theme, Ridley's theme, or the south Norfair theme from Super Metroid. Plus the Prime subseries has provided a lot of awesome tracks, such as the Credits, Phendrana Drifts, and VS. Hive Totem themes from Prime -- unfortunately, I haven't yet played Prime 2 enough to pick out favorites, but so far the music has all been great.
Expect to see more Metroid midis popping up in the coming weeks.
Moving on to other subjects, I managed to get into that intermediate algebra class out at Butte College. The professor signed my add card on Friday and I turned it in to the admissions and records office shortly thereafter, so I'm in. Yay for looking smart because of being a high school student taking a college math class (and doing well in it). Though apparently everyone thinks I'm 20+ years old just by looking at me, so no one really notices unless I tell them my age.
Other than that ... not much happened last week. Unless you count getting Battle Rank 18 in PlanetSide. Yay for being able to get a third implant -- I no longer fear cloakers nearly as much, now that I have Darklight Vision and can see them with it again. Last night some guy came up and tried to knife me to death, so I flipped on Darklight, turned around, and shot him at point-blank with my sniper rifle -- twice. Oh, how sweet it is.
Now I'm focusing on getting Command Rank 3. Getting command experience points (CEP) is dang hard, however, when your empire is not only always outnumbered, but also getting doubleteamed by the other two empires. Since the only way to get a decent amount of CEP is to be part of an assault that captures an enemy base while you're leading a squad, and that barely ever seems to happen under the present conditions. I swear the Terrans and Vanu are working together on the Markov server. I've led a squad for 3+ hours and only gotten about 500 CEP, simply because it was impossible for us to do anything but defend from the other two empires. WTF, mates? ^^
Edit:
liek OMG i have teh 4000 visits i r teh popular!!!1!1!11!1!111 ... And I'm still wondering when we're going to get a revised, unexploitable popularity ranking system.
