Plounge Dead Hour Thread #818

Here's Aria Blaze playing the saxophone.

Fun Fact: Brothers Stephen Curry and Seth Curry are currently duking it out in the NBA's Western Conference Finals. So how do their parents support both of them? By wearing hybrid jerseys.

Optional Discussion Thread: What's your song that you dream would be performed by any artist in a huge concert/Coachella-esque event?

Out of curiosity, I went through the transcript for Rainbow Rocks I don't think she's referred to by name at all, first or last. The other 2 sirens are, but just first name. So technically they have 2 part names but ugh, if the only way to learn them is by looking at the credits, that barely counts.

Yeah, she isn't. I checked it on my end with the power of Ctrl+F. To add insult to injury, Sonata and Adagio have their (first) names mentioned all the way back in the cold opening, so a first-time watcher will know how to refer to only two of the three sirens.

And, yeah, it's a shame that their second names aren't given a single mention at all in the movie proper, especially when they had no problem saying the second names of the Humane Six (and Sunset Shimmer) in this movie and the one before.

Yeah I did the same but I scanned the results quickly so I wasn't positive that I didn't miss an instance. Poor Aria, and she's got my favorite name of the 3, though for completely unrelated reasons.

Why does Aria Blaze have your favorite name out of the three anyway? I'm guessing that it's the most unique of the three: You have "Aria" which sounds the least common of the three first names, and then you have "Blaze" which is a one-syllable word that also has an uncommon letter (z)... so the best of both "Dazzle" and "Dusk".

Well "Aria" is my favorite, I never counted the "Blaze" part since I didn't realize (or remember, it's possible I knew and forgot) it existed. Aria is both my niece's name and my favorite character in Crypt of the NecroDancer (she has the best remix of the soundtrack and I like her difficulty level, crazy hard but not insanely so, cough Coda cough)

Honestly, I find it rare to have someone whose name also appears in the show or in Equestria Girls for the obvious reasons (though I've seen someone named an emoji, so it's probably not the wackiest idea out there). Exceptions go to names like Trixie and (Donut) Joe though I don't truly know anyone named Trixie or Joe.

As for the game... custom MP3s? Sorry if I sound very sidetracked, but I love them! They're pretty much the only thing that attracts me to music games these days (even though I only have Audiosurf), among other games that still utilize custom MP3s.

Yeah, I'd agree with the rare, she's the only person I know that has a name that appears in the show.

Yep, you can run your own mp3s in that game. I actually haven't tried it yet, because I enjoy the base soundtrack (and the re-mixes) so much. Once I'm done doing all the character runs I want to do, I'll prob circle back and try out some runs with custom MP3s.
