Hey everyone! I wanted to create a thread to keep everyone posted on where I am at with sending out the donation prizes. I've been super busy catching up with work / family / life after the marathon, so I haven't had a chance to start mailing anything out yet - but I will be doing so shortly. After writing this post I'm off to acquire tubes for the posters (something I tried to do yesterday, but all three post offices near me were out of them). Anyway, here are the recipients of the prizes and the corresponding status, which I will be keeping up to date:

Please let me know if you think there are any errors here and I'll be sure to correct them!

So the topic here is Winecraft style: why am I the only user online?! If you are the only person online, this is where you should post. Join me. Drunkenly. Winecraftly. This is our space. Welcome.

TBH, I love MDB. They are special and Ryan has done something amazing. MDB forever! MHQ forever!

@eliasthompson This is becoming increasingly necessary.

But I love you all, what even do you mean?!

Uuuuuuhg. So anyone who knows, and I mean TRULY knows Elias, knows he doesn't get hype about things unless they are truly amazing.

So I can't wait. All my life has been a culmination to this moment. All my life has been a lead up to this event. I can't even. I ... can't ... even.

This is accurate.

Love it. I'd like to see more.

What about a heckpost filter

What even is that?

@gendreavus said in Favorite Music Track From The Series?:

For me, the best track in the series is Kraid's Lair, hands down.

Hard for me to pick one singular favorite. I love the music for Kraid's Lair in Metroid, Red Brinstar from Super Metroid, both tracks from Sector 4 (AQA) in Fusion, Underwater Frigate Reactor Core from Metroid Prime, Quadraxis from Prime 2, Bryyo from Prime 3, and basically everything from AM2R.

If I had to pick which (official) game in the series has the best music though, I'd probably go with Prime 2. Pretty much every area has great music (maybe except Agon), every (non guardian) boss has a great track, and the entire OST has thematic structure that matches the atmosphere of the game.
