    Pretty fun, @Grimmace! $:^ J
    Before "Amish Paradise" was ever released, I wrote a "Sega's Paradise," and I'm kind of done with the Paradise methinks. $E^ P
    However, I'll give a tip, change "pistol smoke" to "bomb of smoke" (or even "bombing smoke" or "bomber's smoke"). You can see why I bet. $:^ }

    I see your point Bob,
    however since the addition of the citadel items there is the 'smoking pistol'
    so i kept it as is cause sometimes for synergy there is no replacement for the
    original lyrics.

    I did feel guilty for doing this one, knowing full well of Amish paradise, i don't usually
    like to tread over old ground, but to me its a bit of fun on the way to work, the songs
    i listen to, if there's one i feel i can adapt, ill have a crack at it.

    Well, no real need to change the lyrics. This is part of a 16 minutes suite from The Alan Parsons Project same titled album (1980).

    "Turn Of A Friendly Card"

    There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
    And a wheel in perpetual motion
    And they follow the races and pay out the gains
    With no show of an outward emotion

    And they think it will make their lives easier
    For God knows up till now it's been hard
    But the game never ends when your whole world depends
    On the turn of a friendly card
    No the game never ends when your whole world depends
    On the turn of a friendly card

    There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
    Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
    And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
    Have prevented the fall of the unwise

    And they think it will make their lives easier
    For God knows up till now it's been hard
    But the game never ends when your whole world depends
    On the turn of a friendly card
    No the game never ends when your whole world depends
    On the turn of a friendly card

    But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
    As he enters inside the cathedral...

    This is a little tune I wrote* while reminiscing about starting the game as a fresh-faced newb and how bad I was back then. When every module filled me with fear.
    Well, at least the level 18 ones.

    Yes, I am aware that I'm still not very good now. Thanks for bringing that up.

    All apologies to Gloria Gaynor.


    At first I was afraid
    I was petrified
    Didn't know to Firestorm
    And run Resistant Hide
    But then I kept on doing runs
    Although my builds were all quite wrong
    And I grew strong
    And I learned how to get along

    And now I'm back
    from "outer space"
    But soon gave in, and saw Melvin
    With that smug look upon his face
    I should have changed that stupid block
    I should have used a different shield
    If I had known back during setup
    what this Scouting Run's revealed

    So back I go
    Got two more tries
    I've seen his blocks now
    I'm more equipped for the reprise
    Weren't you the one who tried to bite me with those jaws?
    Did you think I'd Fumble?
    Did you think I'd Trip, halt and pause?

    Oh no, not I
    I will survive
    Oh as long as I have nimbus
    Well, I know I'll stay alive
    I've got 3 HP to live
    And some big damage to give
    And I'll survive
    I will survive (hey, hey)

    -instrumental bridge-

    It took all the moves I had
    To dodge your line of sight
    While I'm safe behind a wall
    This makes it hard to fight
    And I spent oh-so-many rounds
    Just feeling sorry for myself
    I used to cry
    But my new elf will get me by

    And you see me now
    I'm dashing in
    I purged off that encumber
    I can move again
    And so you break out that O. Hack
    And just expect me to go down
    But I made sure I had Parry
    And I drew Mimetic Crown!

    But a fatal flaw shows up once more
    Blackhammer heals him
    And Blitzy's not red anymore
    Isn't he the one that tried to kill me with that breath?
    Did you think I'd give up?
    Did you think I'd accept my death?

    Oh no, not I
    I will survive
    Oh, as long I can sunder off
    that Alabaster Hide
    I've got all my life to rest
    but tonight I'll claim that chest
    once more I'll try
    try to survive....

    "AA Rage"

    When I need Inspiration,
    My solution is the wiki,
    Elven Maneuvers,
    The best,
    Always drawing me step attacks,
    Right there when I need them,
    All these other cards are tempting,
    Retaliatory Mutation,
    ...Flaxative,

    Do you pick me?
    Do you like these booties?
    I'm not actually cheating,
    Hey Flax, no, not really 'cause,

    Flax, I think that my item would really kick their butts,
    Much better that item with Festering Guts,
    Flax, I think that my item would really kick their butts,
    Much better that item with Festering Guts,

    Perfect Block, Perfect Block,
    It's not that OP,
    Got six Fireballs for that burst,
    Hey, you
    I'm the dwarf wizard of Burfft,
    The new, improved Searing Pain,
    All these other cards are tempting,
    Retaliatory Mutation,
    ...Flaxative,

    Choose my entry!
    Better pick these booties!
    I'm not actually cheating,
    Hey Flax, no, not really 'cause,

    Flax, I think that my item would really kick their butts,
    Much better that item with Festering Guts,
    Flax, I think that my item would really kick their butts,
    Much better that item with Festering Guts,

    Why did you pick the Tasty, Tasty Staff?!
    With the five monster cards,
    That breaks the rules of AA!
    No, I don't like Muscle Through,
    No bending the rules!
    You really made the wrong selection,
    Now all that's left to do,
    Is just for me to rage on the thread,

    Flax, I think that my item would really kick their butts,
    Really hate that item with Festering Guts,
    Flax, I think that my item would really kick their butts,
    Really hate that item with Festering Guts.
    [End]


    Now... don't get salty. This is completely satirical and I apologize if anyone is offended. Don't take this seriously please!

    This song is so versatile... Anyone want to make a parody on "Cheerleader" called "Party Leader" about co-op :p:p:p:p

    There was, a staff, with arcane beams,

    which no sane man would run,

    and it was, in hindsight, a very strange choice,

    I dont, know how, I won,


    my warrior used a laser,

    on all his enemies,

    my wizard used that crazy staff,

    full of arcane beams,


    now the only thing a basher needs,

    is a hammer and a club,

    and the only time, he'll be satisfied,

    is when he's seeing blood,


    oh Melvin, tell your children,

    not to choose that rifle gun,

    spend your time doing far weirder things,

    with a staff that no man would run,


    lost one game against a smoke bomb,

    the other burned with flames,

    im going back to arcane beams,

    at least for one more game,

    Good one, Grim! Even that scary part about Melvin having children. *shudders uncontrollably*
