Debut, Post and Homogenic are all amazing and easy listens from start to finish (with Homogenic being particularly epic overall I think). I purchased a few of her albums after those, but as you said, they require a level of “effort” to enjoy that I don’t have. I think she’s a spectacular artist but once she strayed… Read more

UGH, this is like Little Big Planet on PSP and Mod Nation Racers on Vita ... why do companies keep releasing titles with such crucial ties to online databases of levels and content and stripping them entirely of that content for portable releases? Read more

Also: “It’s all gotten a little tiresome.” and “At one point, you kinda just get tired of being taken for a ride (ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ) by Sony and Microsoft.” both sound like they’re coming from a place of legitimate anger/frustration to me. Read more

I guess it’s a wait and see in this generation with the mid-cycle refreshes actually having extra features opened up to developers (with the caveat that they’re not going to alienate the earlier model hardware), but personally I’ll continue to prefer the plug-and-play guarantee of console gaming over the wildly… Read more

You’re angry about a 5 year console refresh cycle so your solution is buying into the platform with the statistically highest number of annual software and hardware upgrades available. PC graphics card refreshes usually occur every six months. Sure, you don’t HAVE to buy them but there’s no evidence supporting that… Read more

I loved Gravity Rush on Vita, but I’ve been reluctant to purchase the remaster on PS4 based on it’s high potential to wind up on PLUS in the upcoming months. Fingers crossed that we see it soon or before the sequel drops. Read more

Not even remotely true. The level of personal likability/excellence/confidence that you project is all far more important than just being attractive. I’m a 6 on a good day and I’ve never had any major difficulties engaging in/initiating romantic relationships. I’ve always been myself, went out of my way to be a… Read more

Cool but not as cool as The Cybertronic Spree. http://rock.thecybertronicspree.com/ Read more

So many cocktail table cabinets. I love a cocktail cabinets, there’s just something so classy about them. I have (what was once) a Nichibutsu Dangar UFO Robo cocktail converted to run the excellent 60 in 1 iCade board and it’s a centerpiece in my arcade collection. Read more

These people watch WAY too much Mr. Robot. Read more

Of course the’ll be buggy as hell. It’s a Telltale game series. ;) Read more

Why would they cancel a game so close to release? Even with a delay, it’s likely finished at this point. (Unless you mean the PS3 and 360 versions are the only ones potentially being scrapped because they’re not as profitable as the other platforms). Read more

I can confirm that the Windows 10 install nag tray icon is gone automatically as of today, so there’s no point in installing or uninstalling anything.
Read more

I right clicked and hid the optional update in Windows Update but the damn tray icon never went away. It’s had a yellow alert exclamation/triangle for the past two weeks, I assume based on the impending free status going away. I never installed any 3rd party software to make the update go away as I was afraid it would… Read more

Well, sure that’s totally the gold standard for Starscream, but I was just talking about MP Primes. Read more

Now if only Petra Hayden could get Matt Sharp to reform the original lineup of The Rentals and record another album as good as the first ... because man, that second Rentals album was hot garbage. Read more

MP-01 and MP-10 are still the gold standards IMO. Read more

Awesome, I’ll keep an eye out for that. I know they had a few live reunion shows a year or so back. There’s footage out there on YouTube. They still sounded great. Can’t wait for new material. Read more

Yeah, I had seen something about that too. I’m a Muffs super-fan and I know Kim Shattuck and Nina Gordon have always been close friends, I think Kim might have mentioned or tweeted that Veruca Salt were on tour at some point when that initially happened. Read more

One of the best shows I’ve ever seen live was Weezer OPENING for That Dog and Veruca Salt in 1993 at Maxwell’s in Hoboken NJ (which was a legendary restaurant/music venue with a tiny tiny stage, so everybody was within spitting distance) . And, yes, you read that correctly, Weezer was the opening act, The Blue Album… Read more
