Atec, I love the album that is your new avatar! I discovered Fight With Tools last year, and it is one of the most musically refreshing, challenging, and cohesive albums that I know.

Have you heard Survival Story (Flobots' new album)? I consider it to be almost equally as good as FWT.

I have survival story on my ipod, but I haven't taken the time to listen to it yet.

Flobots are amazing.  I agree, it is so refresing,  A very unique sound and great lyrics and delivery.  It is a very cohesive album and if flows really well and no track really seems out of place.  All of the songs are good on their own too.  The lyrics are so true and well written, from a really interesting perspective

I will give survival story a listen sometime soon.  I have heard from my friend who got me into flobots in the first place that it is just about as good as fight with tools, but I have been enjoying fight with tools so much that whenever I want flobots, I want it.

Yeah, I remember listening to FWT for a week straight when I first found it. I always kept a Wikipedia page open because it often helped to know who/what they were referencing.

Thats a good idea.  There are tons if references in like every song.  I mean usually every line is important and means something specific in their songs.

I got into them from handlebars.  I used to listen to that all the time, even though I am not the kinda person who obsesses over one song usually.  I found out that it actually had a real meaning (the first time I heard it I thought it was a joke/parody), and loved the style.  I just recently actually got/listened to the rest of the album though, and everything else is as good/better.  Normally when an album only has one popular single and it's a less popular band, I don't usually get what I hope for, but this time I did.  It's really varied, but I really enjoy the album all the way through.  Lyrically and musically.

Yeah, I think almost all of the Flobots' popularity is due to Handlebars, which is probably still my favorite song of theirs, though both FWT and SS have plenty of excellent songs. Their albums' depth is remarkable. My favorites:

FWT: Combat, The Rhythm Method, Handlebars, and Same Thing.
SS: The Effect, White Flag Warrior, Airplane Mode, Whip$ and Chain$, and Panacea for the Poison.

In short, I like everything they have released.

My stubbornness has been on my mind recently, so I changed my avatar to the source of said stubbornness.

I like it, but it's off-center. Would you mind sending me the picture so I can center it for you?

Sslaxx, I really like your avatar.
As in the current Sierra one as opposed to the Eggman logo before? Glad you do! It's from the Wikipedia entry for Sierra Entertainment, though I colourised it myself.

I've decided to try and theme the avatars I use for the forums I visit (so I'll be using this one on the SQ forums for example, maybe the AGS forums too).

Oh yes, I also liked your Eggman avatar as well. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Genesis is one my all-time favorite games.

Very much a Sonic fan too, yes! Thinking about writing a Robotnik-based adventure game, actually...

*Cue the Sierra entrance music* I like the color you chose, Sslax.
