:clap: Nice!

It kinda reminds me of Implodes from last cycle.

Thanks guys!

Epic!!! How the heck do you do that? (I've always been horrible with computer stuff :lol)

I used photoshop to extract the different elements like the faces or the stick figure and I then used Flash to animate the whole thing.

Here's another (less ambitious :sadpanda:) one.

Does OSX have a paint program built in? If not, I'm sure there are free ones. As long as it's in the spirit of crappiness. :lol

I'm sure it does.  I'm just not all that creative.

Your best one so far  :lol even better than the first, although the first was more impressive in terms of tools used.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

YESSSSSS

SO MUCH LOVE FOR THESE THREADS
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Who else was hoping this album cycle, and specifically this thread, would entice Rob Webster out of retirement?

Although, having CDrice has been a huge boon this time around.  :clap:  :biggrin:
