I just wanted to say that people have sent me PMs and asked me in threads on /r/metal if I'm part of the band. I'm glad you guys actually have an account on here now so that people will stop asking me. I met Nick in 2010 after the NYC show where you guys opened for HammerFall. He was the first musician I had met and I was really excited. My personalized signed copy of Metal Kombat is still one of my prized possessions six years later! I also saw you guys when you opened for Firewind in 2010 in NYC and I think Nick remembered me from the previous show. I just wanted to share those memories with you (also the fact that I derived my username from listening to you guys).
Do you guys feel like video game music has become, in a way, like the Great American Songbook of rock and metal? So many different musicians (mostly solo or doujinshi-esque musicians) have recorded whole albums influenced by it, in a number of different styles. Albums like Cory Johnson's The Legend of Zelda, the OneUp's Intergalactic Redux, Minibosses' Brass, and your own Metal Kombat for the Mortal Man are all in vastly different styles, but derived from the same source material. What's your take on this?
