The Hard Road

why can't Nick or Disney make more shows... that ACTUALLY deal w/ teenage life instead of making them secret pop stars or living in some stupid hotel?
Random insight found on the internet

These long nights are the death of me,
But its alright, Its my legacy.
What a Great Night by Hilltop Hoods

Didn't do much for Bridge today. Was sorting out nominations for this:

Like last year, I (or possibly one of my friends) will be making a compilation video showing off the creative products of GZF's community. It's basically an extended trailer of the stuff we have done in here. If you're lost, here are links to part 1 and part 2 of last year's GunZ Frag Movie Compilation.
This year, however, I'm expanding my scope... I will also include compilations of OTHER GunZ movies we have made, including tutorials and storylined features.

It's a bit like making extended commercials, only the aim here is to entertain and pay tribute rather than make money. It's nice; a little record of the little legacy left behind by the players of a game that was never intended to be as imaginative as it turned out to be.

Legacy. Because the great and famous are never remembered for the kinds of people they are.

Speaking of legacies, Australian Hip Hop group Hilltop Hoods have managed to successfully combine hip hop music with orchestra. Check out The Hard Road Restrung and What a Great Night Restrung. Second one is pretty catchy, both are a bit hard to follow at first (lyrics provided in youtube descriptions), but the thing I really like about The Hard Road is that it doesn't skimp on lyrics like a lot of other pop songs I've heard. And the lyrics are good.

We used to thrash boosted cars till the engine would fail,
If I never had bailed maybe I'd be dead or in jail,
And man I got no one else to blame,
I thank my family and music for keeping me sane,
But that's the breaks right, Started working late nights,
Never seein daylight, gettin paid like a slave might,
And I've done too many years to miss this for my missus,
To have to tell my son he nearly never existed.
The Hard Road Restrung
