I enjoy most of Dream Theater's stuff n luuuv Summoning. becuz of them n Obsequaie's influence I added both dungeon-synth n 'medieval' metal to my avant-garde black metulz project (which was originally inspired by Ulver's 1st 3 records n the late Diabolical Masquerade's discog primarily)
I would play turn-based tactics games such as Shining Force 1, 2 & 3 with back-to-back Melvins n Buckethead records goin xD this was towards the end of the 'dark ages' so I was listenin to the (overpriced, tough to find at the time) original physical disc copies.
