Dreamwidth

At the urging of premchaia_pre4 and after davidn had already followed along, I'm on Dreamwidth now! From what I see so far, it's basically The Other LiveJournal, only supposedly with less stupidity on the management side. I guess. All I see at this level so far is that it has a subtly better collection of toys to play with (such as the cross-posting feature that allows me to only have to write this once and have the LiveJournal side covered as well) and the fact that my page is beautiful. (Not that it has to be for anyone else considering DW, of course; Prem's and David's pages are already much more respectable, for example. But you know me. <3)

Anyway, I was going to make this big old thing about whether I should be officially moving or whatever (especially since the Hatoful community at least used to watch my journal for "streaming now" updates before the Tumblr came along) but if the cross-posting feature works, then I guess never mind!

Edit: I've posted and then edited this entry about a bazillion times because I keep noticing tiny little typos and such, and not only did the LJ cross-post successfully go through, but so did all the edits. Awesome.

Attention, readers who've played lots of RPGs and stuff in their day: what would you consider to be among the best epic emotional battle themes of all time? I'm talking, like, a fight with enough drama behind it to be memorable. Maybe it's the time you finally get to face off against the bastard who's been causing you grief for the entire game, or maybe it's a tragic battle against an old friend who turned evil or something. Just some battle theme for a moment that says "I swear I will kill you where you stand, just as soon as I stop shaking/crying long enough to be able to raise my sword."

I ask because I'm playing Tactics Ogre's PSP remake, and I'm thinking this one is pretty hard to beat:

(Note that it's especially perfect for the setting; much like the rest of the Ogre Series, Tactics Ogre's world is a Game of Thrones-esque bloodbath with more upheaval and suffering than whimsical adventuring, and the plot-important showdowns tend to have a "so, it has come to this..." feel as a result, which I believe this song captures very well.)

However, I feel like I should be remembering something else that I'm not, like there's some other extremely obvious example that is slipping my mind and will make me feel like an idiot when someone replies with a link to it. However, I did at least remember Antipyretic, Guardians of the Sorrowful Ice, Dragon Asymmetry, and this song whose title I don't know how to translate (and that I primarily know from a source other than Higurashi, obviously.)
