So what does everyone do when they're not making music?

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

They tilt back and forth so I can go over bumps and stuff, And I have no idea but I took them off a snowskate that I owned. I can't wait to test it out!

Hmmm, I will give both of those a read once I catch up on the episodes. Thanks man.

Oh man, I haven't played TF2 in forever, Once I get a new rig I'm definitely going to install that first thing. Along with Gmod.

Heh, yeah. It had been a while for me too. Finally got a friend of mine to cave and download it, so I wound up playing again myself. I never got GMOD, though I've seen some hilarious and horrific things people have made with it. Is it worth picking up?

I'd say so. I've logged over 120 hours and never actually got bored with it. I just lost my machine that could play it, otherwise I'd have even more hours. A lot more hours :P

That's hard to say without knowing what kind of stories you like to read.

Octavia Takes the Bus, Transcendence and Background Pony are excellent if you're okay with sad.

If you're into adventure: Unmarked, The Ballad of Echo the Diamond Dog (one of the very few good Human-in-Equestria fics), Moonstone Cup, Tales of the Winter Magic Academy (LOOONG).

One-shots: Super Amazing Rocket Sled of Awesome is one of the absolute funniest things I've ever read. If you're going to read any of these, I would suggest that one. Short, and I guarantee you'll get a good laugh out of it. Wingmares is pretty long but if you have the time it's another good one-shot, though more heartwarming than anything else.

These are just my personal favorites. Like I said, it's hard to suggest stories when I don't know what genres you like.

Also, wow. I read more than I thought.

I like comedies mostly. I'll read anything (except horror, not a fan.)

Link it! I'd like to listen. I tried at least 4 times, but about 20 minutes into each session my laptop overheated or LMMS would crash.

I'll have it up tomorrow! I have the art done, but I always have my friend take a look at the art and give me advice before I publish them. I have no clue why haha.

It's a Fluttershy song. Piano/Strings ;)
