UPDATE: The run is currently scheduled for Sunday July 22nd at 9:00PM Eastern, with "The Battle" by Allen-Lande as the Featured Album.
I love listening to metal while gaming, so I am happy to introduce Shinboy's Half-Hour Heavy Metal Dungeon Hour!* I figured I would roll it out in the upcoming BWE so I can get my streaming set up working before the game goes live. Anyway, basically this is a dungeon run accompanied by a music bot (run by yours truly) that blasts intense metal throughout the run in Mumble to spice things up. I did this sort of thing periodically with my Guild Wars 1 guild, and they were good fun. Most of the metal that I will be playing is of the power metal and progressive metal subgenres, but I am posting this now so you guys can throw in any requests you may have. Just wanted to gauge interest in this kind of thing, seeing as I would not mind doing it weekly once the game is live. We will probably be doing Story Mode for the Catacombs because it's quicker and easier, and that way more people are able to join.
The only requirements are that you can do the dungeon (obviously), that you can be on Mumble for the run, and that you have an open mind about the music I will be playing. It's not fun for anyone if someone is just complaining about the music the whole time. If you really don't like it, you can always mute it, I won't be offended. Also, since I know he is such a huge fan of the genre (obviously sarcrastic, he called me misguided for listening to it :P), I am personally inviting
on this test run, assuming he is the right level. The rest of the spots are first come first serve.Anyway, for those who are curious about this and are wondering what exactly I will be playing, here are a few songs that will probably be on the playlist for this run. I plan on doing a "Featured Album" for each run where I play 5-6-if not more-tracks from one album, but I have yet to decide what album to pick for this run.
*The run will not actually be a half-hour. Kudos to you if you get the reference. If you do not, watch this.
