I had a much stronger reaction to 1000 gecs than 10,000 gecs, think it had both higher highs and lower lows. I found this to be mostly fine and kind of funny, with a couple of tracks I could do without (Billy Knows Jamie and One Million Dollars)

I'll try and get my track ranking in tomorrow morning

Saving Private Ryan
Grave of the Fireflies
Inglourious Basterds
Schindler's List

Mario

I will give Mario the powerups he needs to win (starmen, dual slingers, star spirits, lightning bolts, 1up mushrooms) while depriving DK of any that would balance it out

LSU is also attempting to say that he hadn't been fired yet and that Woodward did not have the authority to fire him. It sounds like LSU had been trying to negotiate a lower buyout for weeks and after Kelly didn't bite, they are trying this desperate nonsense.

Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Dollars
Cornetto

Dark Souls

gravy, you'll be missed

My votes:
Mobb Deep - The Infamous
D'Angelo - Voodoo
Sly & the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On
American Football - American Football
KISS - Destroyer

HM to Boston which just missed the cut

M1 chewed me up and spat me out so quickly I don't think it left much of an impression on me.

For the people on the fence who are considering the emotional toll of Mercs, I think the test run is a perfect opportunity to dip your toes back in. Low stress, low stakes, relatively brief time commitment. We've been having test matches on the Discord and it's been very peaceful and collegial.

I happened to be listening to this during the last nomination cycle. Revisiting it, I dig it a lot. Great production and mood. If I had to knock it a bit, Willoughby's Interlude isn't interesting enough to justify it's running time and Frig Me Eyes doesn't vibe with the rest of the record. (Not a bad song tho)

I nominate:
D'Angelo - Voodoo
a neo-soul masterpiece, influenced in part by Sly's There's a Riot Goin' On

and for the sample track, the big obvious pick:

Hugh Freeze as the HC, D.J. Durkin as the DC, who does Auburn have as their OC? Art Briles?

I think it's just how people in Philly pronounce joint

Newman
Frank Costanza
Uncle Leo
Estelle Costanza

Mass Effect 3

I will go ahead and formally nominate D'Angelo Voodoo tomorrow. I'm open to anybody who wants to advocate for Brown Sugar or Black Messiah instead, but I feel like Voodoo is the best representative pick.

On that note, even though I'm not new to quietly following along with Mercs, I still wonder - how much does it matter to have experience (whether by playing, watching, or both) with many games? Have frequently felt like my lacking breadth leaves me too uninformed to vote even after arguments or otherwise to understand characters' capabilities. Sorry if this is an unsuitable place to ask...

Personally I'm going to try to stick to being familiar with a majority of the Mercs I purchase, but that doesn't mean I'd avoid buying a couple I'm unfamiliar with if I love the build. I hadn't played SMTIV when I bought Flynn last time, but it wasn't too much homework to pick it up and run through it. Plus, you can glean a lot from wikis/FAQs/YouTube.

I also think there's some responsibility on leaders for educating voters on their Mercs. If you buy Pamela Ibis or Jacqli you are going to have to be able to summarize what their deals are, multiple times. There's not going to be enough voters if the pool is limited to just people intimately familiar with every Merc in the match. I think voters just need to be willing to learn about the Mercs they are less familiar with and keep an open mind about them.

I'm down and I have several dumb ideas for teams, although if the admins need to cut vets to make space for newbies I think I'd have a lot of fun as a spectator/voter as well.

Through The Fire And The Flames, Guitar Hero 3
Wrong Side Of The Tracks, San Andreas

The Z series is much more consistent, but only one of them really knocks it out of the park (Z3). It's pretty distinct from the X games as well.

It's over. The prep wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and it was a pretty smooth process. The doctor did mention they had a bit of trouble because my colon is very large. They found two polyps and removed them, one 3 mm and one 7 mm. The doctor said these are usually not cancerous, he will have more details at our follow-up nest week, which I'm looking forward to because I've just been consulting the esteemed Drs. Google and Reddit since then.

Thanks, I avoided jello today and I've been feeling fine so far. Just broth, pulp free juice and Gatorade.

Just took my first dose of Suflave, the flavor enchancing packets seemed to help it go down. My doctor also gave me some Ondansetron to head off any nausea, so I'm feeling cautiously optimistic that this won't be a nightmare.

I think I had also forgotten about 4 Degrees, which is great and the best thing here, honestly about half the album is successful in my eyes. But the artless (or unpoetic if you prefer) lyrics bring a lot of the tracks down.

Hey azuarc, how do you feel about the jello looking back? Did it help give an impression of having eaten food? I'm trying to decide if I should do jello and popsicles or just stick to strictly liquids.

I did the sulflave prep which just basically gets it all over with quicker, although it tastes awful after so many swigs. I had trouble not puking it was making me gag so much.

I've got the Suflave to look forward to tomorrow night. Does seem like it is quicker, I just start the evening before.

I remember hating this when it came out, except for Drone Bomb Me. Thought the lyrics were too artless and on-the-nose. Interested to see if I feel differently now.

Best of luck, I'll be doing the same prep next week.

1. Blackbird
2. Pink Moon
3. Cigarettes
4. Salvation
5. Seed (Intro)
6. Seven
7. Big Smoke
8. Murder to the Mind

10. Free Mind
11. Mystik
12. Outro
13. Mellow Marmalade

I didn't feel strongly about this album one way or another on a first listen, and not much changed when I gave it a second chance. I think I was expecting something "headier" or more adventurous from the album art. Blackbird is the choice track here and I think I would've preferred more instrumental pieces.

Not even mad about the Bengals keeping me from going 15-0, happy for Old Man Flacco
