Yeah they're goofy. Not a big fan of their new album but Bitte Orca is great. Same with Rise Above. I'll end up picking up the new Cat Power, was just wondering what first impressions were.
Also, best show I've seen this year was Real Estate. Or Feist. Probably Real Estate though.
Also, I saw Dirty Projectors and Psychic Paramount about a week ago. Surprisingly, I didn't care for them life. Either band actually. Still a good show but not great. David's a pretty funny dude though, he's got this thing where he sticks out his lower lip when playing which makes him look ridiculous. Psychic Paramount was loud. That's about it.
Recently though I've been listening to a lot of Walk the Moon and Passion Pit. Yup...
From: OliviaTremor | #036 Also Psych is a f***ing joke. It's for people who want to go into science, but don't want to do anything scientific whatsoever. lol
Thought about answering you realistically but don't think you deserve that answer.
So I will just say lol
Neuroscience isn't a joke. Psychiatry most definitely is. If you want to have a serious discussion with me, by all means. I have a science background (molecular genetics, multiple poster presentations, fellowships, recently sent a manuscript to Nature Genetics as first author) so I think it'll be interesting.
Hmm... probably Dark Cloud. I know there's only two, but each game did what it set out to do splendidly and are pretty much unparalleled. Also, runner up would be System Shock. You can include Bioshock as well I guess for the whole Shock series.
Wait, you would rather watch Magic Mike over Ted tonight? Do you have a V? If so, that makes sense.
The insane stupidity of this comment blows my mind. Magic Mike is a Steven Soderbergh movie and should be pretty good.. Who the hell even makes a childish comments like that beyond gradeschool anyway? I know you aren't 10 anymore. Damn dude.
Please stop describing the whiners as 'fans'. I love Bioware. I've played and enjoyed all of their games, and felt the ending was a perfectly valid, if odd, way to end the series. I am a fan. Once you declare your undying loathing of a company and swear never to buy their products ever again, but make sure to respond to every single topic that references them in order to reaffirm your hatred, you're a troll to be counted among the company's enemies, not their allies.
Is this in reference to my post? Cause this is literally the only topic I've ever posted in regarding Bioware. Hell I have like 3 active posts on B8. Just thought I'd add my opinion on the matter, didn't know I wasn't allowed to have a dissenting opinion.
I disagree. ME3 should have been released as a finished coherent product, and for many fans it wasn't. What we saw was damage control, trying to win back Bioware fans.
Now, something that really is a victory for all gamers would be something like Valve's Pyromania update. New game mode, maps, weapons, etc to a game which has always been great. It was unnecessary, but it was done anyway. My two cents.
Nope, of course not. The ammo system was sorta messed up though due to enemies dropping infinitely more ammo for the weapons you had equipped at the moment, but universal ammo is just insane.
Just saw it, came out of the theater pretty confused as to whether I thought it was okay or good. After thinking about it for a while, I think it may actually be great. I couldn't quite grasp the whole scope of the story as I was watching it but upon reflecting on the movie this is what I got.
The humanoid aliens create a biological weapon like the captain of Prometheus claims. This biological weapon has the capacity to either create or destroy life as Fassbender's character hints towards. The central question of the movie is, 'why did these humanoids create human life and then seek to destroy it?' What I gather is the humanoid in the beginning of the movie steals a biological weapon and sets off to Earth. He consumes it which causes his DNA to break into smaller pieces providing the template for life. Life on Earth arises. Fast forward however many years and you have the crew of the Prometheus coming into contact with the humanoid species responsible for their existance-- however, unbeknownst to them this species as a whole never wanted their existence and as such the last survivor of the Xenomorph attack (under analyzing the gravity of their biological weapons) sets out to destroy the humans.
I dunno, that just seems like a really really cool story. It's kinda like when I saw The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I didn't particularly care for it as I watched it, but when I thought about the story I really enjoyed it. Prometheus is kinda like that, but it's made in such a way that people can draw their own interpretations which is something I greatly appreciate.
Not quite sure, haven't played PSII in like 7 years (damn, long time ago). I just figure if you keep dying you may as well try leveling up a bit. Also, I personally didn't use Rudo until a little after Climatrol-- that's when he becomes really really useful.
EDIT- Actually I meant Kain, I had to go back and double check who it was who did the best damage against robots. If my memory serves me well Rudo is pretty great.
I guess just level up a bit? Climatrol is a real pain in the ass, the first real 'goddammit where do I go' type map. But, when you get to the end of it you'll know.
God this game was fun... then it became impossible in the second half. Even with maps from the phantasy star website it's still impossible to make heads or tails of where you are.
Favorite of mine would be Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami. Not a mystery in the traditional sense per say, but essentially it's two vastly different stories and in each story you have the main character trying to figure out what the f*** is going on. One story involves a man finding himself shuffling (encrypting...) data for a man who knows how to eliminate sound and soon everyone is after him and he has to figure out what was so important about the data. The second story involves a man waking up with no memories in a gated town where he is assigned the task of dream reader, his shadow is ripped from him, and no one is allowed leaving the town or changing their task. Essentially he has to figure out what's going on with the town, the significance of his shadow, etc.
Very surreal stuff, but it may be my favorite book.
Got my email and the keys. The bundle is amazing needless to say, and to make things better they typically add ridiculous perks such as previous bundle games at later dates. If I hadn't just quit my lab job I would have gladly paid more than I did. Every single game is top notch (except LIMBO, I really don't care for LIMBO and already bought it).
Oh and if you guys haven't seen the trailer for the bundle, check it out!
Whatever People Say I am is a great album and I'm honestly surprised that it's on their list. There are a lot better albums from the 00s needless to say, but I really do enjoy the Arctic Monkeys. It'll be interesting to what else from the 00s make it onto the list. It'd be sweet if we see Up the Bracket on the list, but I'm not really holding out hope.
This is super annoying. Bought the bundle about 40 minutes ago, haven't received the bundle, and since I bought it the average has gone over what I paid in the last 10 minutes or so. To make things worse Bastion is the only game I don't have. F*** Humble Bundle if I don't get Bastion.
Here's what I want you to do. First, you'll need to acquire some black baggy jeans, black boots, a black coat, black gloves, and a black ski mask where the only opening is for the eyes. You will also need a yellow and black camouflage vest and a yellow and black camouflage bag Then, contact Kirk Anderson about a day or two before E3, he's a beekeeper in the LA area and is willing to lend you bees. Obtain a bee hive and the day of E3 dress up in the aforementioned wardrobe and place the bee hive with the live bees into your camouflage bag. During Kojima's presentation I want you to get up, do some cool yet unnecessary backflips and yell 'I am the Pain!' followed immediately by 'Your face is Bees!' at which point you will proceed to throw your beehive at Mr. Kojima's face. As you are being subdued by the security guards I want you to say calmly, 'The pain... the pain...' and then yell 'THE PAIN!' at which point you will detonate the explosive belt you have on thus exploding in a fiery inferno while you somehow manage to say 'the pain' one more time before dying.
