Mandatory Megadeth #9 · 2:02am Nov 2nd, 2018
I was going to talk a bit about the story this week, specifically on its setting, but I'll be honest: I've been sick as a dog all week, and I'm just not feelin' it.

One of the coolest album covers ever.
Date Of Release: September 2, 2022
Lineup for The Sick, The Dying... And The Dead!:
Well, here we are at the eleventh and final track of ‘Countdown to Extinction.’ I hope you folks enjoyed this series as much as Coffee Minion and I did.
Y’know, it occurred to me a day after posting MM#1 that if any of you wanted to, you literally could have just followed the ‘similar videos’ feed on YouTube and listened to this whole album by now. It’s not like I’m holding any keys or have the ability to guard access to this album, so really, me posting them every week like this is kind of moot.
So yeah, I’m a dumbass. But hey, I said I was gonna do it, so here it goes.
Architecture of Aggression
I gotta do this one on my lunch hour this week; I have things to do tonight so I won’t have time for this later—which is too bad cuz this is my favourite track on the album and I wish I had time to say more about it.
High Speed Dirt
Date Of Release: September 19, 1986
You guys know Metallica right? Dave Mustaine certainly does, originally being Metallica's guitarist before being fired for being a drunk asshole. He's responsible for writing the riffs for almost all of the songs on Metallica's debut album Kill'em All, as well as one riff for Ride the Lightning.
One of my very favourite bands is Megadeth. I’ve been listening to them for years, since about 2001—the year I graduated from high school.
Their first album debuted in 1985, with their second the following year, all the way up to their fifteenth and most recent release, which came out in early 2016.
So, uh... why the fuck am I talking about this?
Note: in a cheap move to generate views, I’ve added a sexy picture to this blog. Just being honest.
Anyway...
Sweating Bullets
Well I was hoping I would feel better by now, but I don’t. In fact, I took today off from work because I actually feel shittier than ever, but I said last week I was gonna talk about the story, and since I have all day to pick away at it, I will.
So, why did I set my story on Earth?
So yeah, I had like 90% of this blog written out —and it was pretty good— but then something glitched-out on me and the page refreshed and I lost it all. It's late, and I'm not typing it all out again so here's this week’s song, goddammit.
Foreclosure of a Dream
Yep, that's right, the songs for the upcoming final battle with King Grogar the Necromancer have been chosen. I won't give away the songs exactly, but expect music from Megadeth, the Police, Sabaton and more!
IN WHICH I CONSIDER A MAJOR RETCON
So much music, so little time. Here's something a little different, courtesy of this dude… except kinda not. Enjoy?
Now that I've blown your mind, onto what I planned to talk about.
OK, so. I kinda have to rush this one out quicker than I wanted to cuz it’s pretty late. I had to stay after work to attend a meeting for like three hours, and I didn’t get home until just a little while ago.
So I hope those of you following my story enjoyed last night's chapter. It definitely strayed from what/who I was used to writing; Pinkie and especially Sonata are characters that I haven't spent a lot of time with. Before writing this chapter, I watched some 'best of Sonata' videos on YouTube to try to get a feel for her and some of her expressions, and I was quite surprised to find that ALL of her dialogue time adds up to barely two minutes. I could've sworn she had more than that, but
Goddammit, is it September already!? Welp, so much for that summer.
Anyway, it's hard to believe its been over a year since I put 'MLP EG Forever' on hiatus. I feel like I haven't accomplished much since I started back up in January, and compared to last year, I really didn't. From January 11th to August 10th, 2017, I published 79 chapters, but this year, from January 28th to now, I've published only 23.
Crap, I almost forgot about Mandatory Megadeth this week! I was just sitting down to proof-read when I realised it was Thursday. Speaking of writing, I’m actually ahead of the game right now; I’m deep into the main plot of MLP EG Forever, and like the first half, it’s gotten quite dark--if not more so--and it’s been a little more interesting to write lately.
