Hello,
My names Rook. Thanks to my older brother, I've been playing video games since before I can remember. I've played a bit of everything and have a long list of favorites, but if I had to pick a few in no particular order I would go with Mass Effect 3, Splinter Cell Blacklist, The Last of Us, Halo Reach, and Half-Life 2. I tend to play most on Xbox now, and lately its been a lot of Destiny 2 and Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
I've been following the Allies since their GT days. Looking forward to some solid discussions here with everyone.

The latest Gorillaz single is pretty hype, like the two before it. I'm really excited for whatever they have in store next, the songs has been really good so far. I like that all of them sound distinct enough from one another, but also feel similar in terms of vibes (a bit "darker" and more patient than their previous outputs).

For a background, there’s another community that I’m a part of that has rather similar rules. The thing about it is that, rather than games, that site focuses on psychology.
Anyways, random banter and chit-chat wasn’t allowed, because... well... it was random. Threads would be locked, comments hidden,, that sort of thing. Eventually, a new moderator came in and made a “MegaThread” that was specifically designed for the random banter and chit-chat.
Every now and then the thread would have to be locked because it was simply so big that the site couldn’t handle it, so they made a new “generation” of the MegaThread.
Long story short, I think that there should be a place for that, similar to the MegaThread. It works, it’s brilliant, and everyone on that site is all for it. Please consider the request, make one of these. Thanks :)

The music is Smile.dk - Boys (Euro Mix), from Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix. YouTube blocks the lyrics because they're from the original version of the song, but the instrumental sections are DDR exclusive.
The song is actually what inspired me to make the video. It has this super-intense buildup, and is all about boys (the Allies) and their girls (in cameo appearances).
It took 19 long days to put together, largely due to my slow computer/slow internet. The hardest part was shaving off the clips to sync to the music (which got messed up in the Showcase anyway...), and the biggest help was TubeNinja.net to download the videos, which worked much smoother than the other YouTube download sites I tried.
Special thanks are in the descriptions, and links to some ultimately unused clips are in the comment sections. :-)
Btw, I totally forgot but this thread was talked about on the March Community Showcase, so I'm putting the link here for those who missed it:
