Clint Mansell & Sam Hulick - An End, Once And For All (Extended Cut)[^]
I've been playing the Mass Effect Legendary Edition for the past few months.
I've played the first two when they first came out, but never got around to playing the third.
Last week, I finished the third, after playing the first two again.
What an awesome series, absolutely brilliant!
Now that it's over it's going to leave a hole in my heart and my soul.
The title of this song says it all, it plays during the ending movie of Mass Effect 3.
It's so beautiful and epic at the same time, or maybe that's just me being indoctrinated by the game.
Sam Hulick wrote the most of the Mass Effect soundtracks.
Clint Mansell, who is also credited for this track, is known for one of the most epic soundtracks ever, Requiem for a Tower (from Requiem for a Dream).
This track is, without a doubt, sound of the week!

Well, maybe not so sweet, except in the 'cool' meaning of the word.
EDIT: following the rabbit hole, here's more face mapping: Omote : Nobumichi Asai
That's pretty cool, didn't realize it was real-time projection until you posted the update though

Also wondering how you got there from searching for a dance track

Yes, that's almost how I dance too 
Pretty cool track and pretty versatile I guess.

It isn't really my cup of tea, either, but it is something different, and interesting for a bit.Sander Rossel wrote: Also wondering how you got there from searching for a dance track
I searched for Ongakushitsu Inc, since it was listed for the music. Couldn't find anything else by them in a similar style, though.

Great track ...  , worth to remember. I also found a long version, about 1 hour, very nice ...

My Sr. Partner has a real knack for taking simple things and complicating the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) out of them!  Today, it's adding 10 columns to a report that already has 12 columns.  The first column is a name field that often exceeds 20 chars. 6 columns must handle 9 digits, the other 15 are ratios < 999.99. The data for a row might look like this:
veryshortname|888,888,888|888,888,888|200.00|200.00|200.00|888,888,888|200.00|200.00|200.00|888,888,888|200.00|200.00|200.00|888,888,888|200.00|200.00|200.00|888,888,888|200.00|200.00|200.00
Hmmm I see, .02 side margins, 6pt narrow font, abb. col. hdrs., and truncat... names in my future!
Oh yeah, she also needs it yesterday! 
Yes, I did offer other solutions but was assured that 'there's plenty of room'. 
This is the same person who had the genius idea of moving her washer and dryer into the garage to make space for a desk. 'How hard could it be??? Just roll them out the door and plug them up. Duh!!!'
I need a drink!  
Edit: So 6 hours later, I managed to get it done (at least the layout) using 8pt arial narrow and getting the column widths down to the pixel.  ...now for the even more boring task of setting conditional formatting on 5 cols x 3 report levels.

Well, here it's...
Them: Process X is failing on input Y.
Me: Well, input Y is correct, so process X must be wrong.
Them: Yes, process X is wrong, but we don't have time to fix it now, so break input Y to compensate.
Me: Yeah, no.
