Sorry for the mispronunciation, and thanks for the correction! Want to make sure I get that right in the future. :) @Thattagen: Yes, and I have before, I've had my music on Canadian national radio, CBC (and some other stations).

Oh, and my internet name is pronounced with a hard G, as in "that again". I have another question…Have you ever tried to get your music on a local radio station?

I missed BT hosting AMP, I used to watch that until the show stagnated and showed too many repeat clips. :\ I used to watch Senor Moby's House of Music... which was "OK". And re: Sagan, hahah yes... the plosive "BBillions!" What a unique enunciation. @Renji: Got a recording? I'll answer some questions right here because I apologize in advance — I'm so sorry — I may not get to another Torrants for awhile but I did want to reply! @Brickman1444: I'd: (1) Encourage greater emphasis on artistic creativity in combination with sciences; sometimes "drama class" and "creative writing" are looked down on unfairly but being intuitive goes hand-in-hand with being logical. But look at all the poor use of grammar on the Internet to the point where it's, well, uncommunicatable. And science fair projects are a lot more fun when you can present them in an aesthetically amazing way! (2) More emphasis on special classes focused on productivity and life efficiency. I know there's "home ec" and various domestic courses, but they really need to dig more into the nitty-gritty of investing and being wise about resources, whether it's time, money, gas, power, etc. Our youth doesn't learn this enough and it's a shame, because their future suffers for it. (3) I wonder how much editing Yahtzee does, and how much is improv as opposed to reading from a script. Either way, I like it and think it's cool he's actually made games himself. You're welcome. @Alexander: Ha, I just came up with that on the spot! I should repeat that more, it sounds like a catchy fighting game combo. @Bishop: Oh, it'd have to be the same thing as what's in the trunk of Repo Man... alien bodies and a little extraterrestrial civilization! Only they can glow so luminously! =) DVNO... FOUR CAPITAL LETTERS ROCK ON!!!! Hahaha thanx for watching!

"Tertiary triple-punch pack" is simply great too. :) Oh, Torley, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who repeats DVNO. :) In fact, I'm about to go pick up ✝ on vinyl in just a few hours.

You both can talk fast that's for sure. =P (And some people complain you talk too fast in tutorials, tut! Hehe) The funny thing was I knew of him and didn't even know! I had played "5 Days A Stranger" and "7 Days A Skeptic" and then I went to his personal site after I watched all rants and ... it's his work! That was interesting to find out. I went for playing "6 Days A Sacrifice" right away then hehe. I have a thing for watching video game reviews for entertainment so every good reviewer I find is some more to keep me busy. I probably would have checked him out now after your mention if I hadn't found him already. So thank you if I hadn't. ^.~ I actually had just come across Yahtzee's "Zero Punctuation" reviews for the first time a few days ago. You both can talk fast that's for sure. =P

Carl Sagan is everywhere–one could probably go up to someone you'd never met and just go "billions and billions" at them and they'd get it.
