Not that I ever really have the time/energy to participate myself, but I do enjoy reading through the ranking topics.

I watched Nightmare Alley tonight (it was okay), and it got me thinking, man, I bet you could make a list from those 3 Mexican directors who won all those Oscars a few years back. Well, I tried, and I got it to 24, at least from films they've directed. So not quite the 30 you're looking for but I'm sure it could be supplemented with ones they were the Writers on, maybe.

Anyway, not sure if this is a decent idea or if it's been done previously. But I'll throw it out there in case it piques anyone's interest.

As you might expect, I enjoyed this quite a bit. Lots of fun little grooves.

My immediate comparison point was to Bloc Party. Because Brits. So I need to revisit Silent Alarm but I think this is maybe a little more funky and dance-y.

Xenoblade progress:

Chapter 11 - ~37.5 hours - Level 47

Story has opened up a bit in the last few chapters. Got some plot points I kind of expected since they were alluded to earlier, but still interesting to see. I believe I looked up that the game has 17 chapters, so I'm on the back half at this point. Easy enough to tell too in that I've just reached Sword Valley on the Mechonis. I assume I will continue to traverse that in most of the last 7 chapters.

I'd recommend to always buy the books (to be able to upgrade a character's Arts) from any vendor that you see. They're the only real important thing to buy. I have bought weapons/armor occasionally but just doing the quests is usually enough to keep you in good shape.

It's so hard to rank an album like this compared to most other genres because you don't really have a "main part" of each song to latch onto, like a chorus or a leitmotif. You really have to consider every song as a beginning-to-end entity. And then Ad Lib on Nippon was the hardest song to rank because it's so many different things at once.

Quoting this in agreement.

As far as ranking these pieces go, I feel like this could go in any order - I really prefer this as a full work.

After all the hype I've heard about Xenoblade here for the past decade, I have found the first hour or so very underwhelming. Plenty of systems I don't care about, a battle system/structure that seems like an awkward amalgamation of FFXII, Dragon Age: Origins, and Tales of/Okami, and the "Definitive Edition" graphical update/overhaul only seems to extend to primary character models because everything else looks very rough.

I'm 25 hours in and still trying to figure that out.

I'm on Chapter 8 at the moment and I kind of hate this area. It's fucking enormous in that empty, cavernous MMO kind of way. There's a bunch of islands that are a pain to navigate. Then there's the city with the, at this point, rote NPC quest givers and random items just spread all the fuck over the place, in a manner that takes just forever to go from one side to another.

At least the story bits have opened up quite a lot in this chapter?

I've also realized how stupid doing the combat is unless you're going to get quest rewards from doing it. I swear, you get more XP from just discovering new locations than you do a dozen random battles.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles somehow isn't on any of the Sega/Genesis collections I have (really annoying when I have four of them!) so I might pass on that.

Yeah, seems like there was a new Sonic only collection just released, Sonic Origins, that has it. But $40 is a little steep. Even with the upcoming Steam sale thats not going to get hugely discounted unfortunately.

Gotten some new characters joining the group, though I've stuck with the first 3 in my active party.

Did a slightly better job of not getting bogged down in the endless side quests these last few hours. Most of the quests aren't time limited, so I can always go back to do them later, should I need to grind, though I'm thinking that won't be necessary.

I was once on the side that affirmative action was wrong. Not because I didn't agree that diversity was a good thing, but because I viewed it as a reverse racism.

Thankfully, I've gotten somewhat smarter and wiser of the years and I learned why there is a need for affirmative action. The playing field isn't equal, so how can you judge all by the same standards.

Chapter 6 - ~20 hours - Level 34

Did I stop doing all the stupid side quests? Nooooo, no I did not... Sigh... I literally can't fucking stop myself! I had a random Colony 9 quest to finish and when I went back there, I was inundated with even more quests. Like, how the fuck does this town still have all this shit for me to do?!?

I'm kind of amused by the fact that the villain is, at least up to this point, called Metal Face.

I mean, basically this game plays like an MMORPG. Go into new area, get all the quests which involve collecting x items and killing y mobs. Go between NPCs to deliver items. Beat named boss.

It does a good job of keeping things moving by letting you change the time of day, quick travel, auto heal, etc. At the same time, I'm not sure if the overall game is good or I'm just being a slave to the constant dopamine hits of finishing a quest, upgrading your afffinity, etc.. I assume this game is held in high regard, especially since it's got multiple sequels. But I'm not really seeing what makes it "special".

This is a set of pop songs that are somehow catchy yet non-infectious - despite the title, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is a perfect anti-ear worm. It commands attention as it plays, but is just mellow enough not to stick around and annoy. The full album largely sustains that perfect balance.

It's funny you say that!

When I finally decided to listen to a Kylie album, it was her recent one, Disco, since it had that song Real Groove that I posted a remix of during Dua Lipa's week. I thought about nominating that, but wanted to listen to her most popular album, Fever, first, since I like to err on the side of the big hit. I saw that it had "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which is one of those quintessential "oh yeah, THAT SONG" songs. Started listening and took about 5 seconds into "Love At First Sight" before I was overwhelmed by a very specific nostalgia that might just be jamais vu.

I'm dating myself a bit here, but do any of you remember when they'd advertise CDs like "Now That's What I'd Call Music" on TV? You'd hear 5-10 seconds of basically every song on the album, which was just a cavalcade of recent pop hits of all stripes. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" certainly would have been on one of those albums but "Love At First Sight" must have been too. They're the type of songs that I would listen to a 90 second commercial just to hear 10 seconds of, then go about my day and promptly forget about until the next time the commercial aired.

Anyway, that's a long winded way of saying that I agree with the ephemeral nature of a lot of these songs and the overall album. To be fair though, I think that's true of a lot of pop songs/albums/artists. It's just the nature of the genre.

So yeah, despite this being my nomination, I can't say I love this album. There's quite a bit of good stuff here, of course! But I've never been a big fan of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (which will probably run away with the top spot because it's the big recognizable hit). It just suffers from being maybe 30-45 seconds longer than it needs to be, which is a criticism I feel like I could level at quite a few of the songs here; I'm often ready to move on before the song is finished. I also think that 3 song stretch of Fever/Give it to Me/Fragile is completely skippable, which sucks because it's right in the middle of the album.

I'm not sure I like this specific idea, but I have been trying to conceptualize weeks with unrelated songs. Like, instead of an album, everyone in the user cycle chooses 1 song each and we rank them. That way, we can share our individual favorites. Maybe it could be a bonus round to end the full cycles with or something.

Id imagine that would suffer from tonal shift too! I think taking a break week to do something different would be fun. Maybe during the week we do the Rank the Albums results. I think wed just need a theme of some sort like Favorite Song or Song that brings back good childhood memories or something like that. Hell maybe just Favorite song from this cycle which would make it easier.

GB is still pretty solid.

  • Dan can be great but at the same time super fucking annoying, like when hes completely off topic into his psychosis while a game is being played.
  • Grubb is a great addition; lots of rally good energy and plays well off the rest of the staff
  • Jan is still a low key MVP.
  • Jess is good because shes got a different background than the rest. More intellectual. Self aware, sometimes to her own detriment.
  • Jeff Bhes good as the straight man/host but not who I come to GB for. And I say that as someone whos been listening to him for 15+ years on various podcasts.

We should do a one off week sometime where rather than rank an album we rank 10-15 songs with the same title.

Just thinking about this because In You Eyes is on this album but its also a Peter Gabriel song that weve covered on So. Its also on Jessie Wares Whats Your Pleasure

To be fair, this is probably more difficult than I make it out to be but, I dont know, could be fun?

Constantly something new getting unlocked, whether it's arts or skill links or gem crafting or whatever. And then, right after they tell you about it, they give you more tutorial stuff to read through. I've been trying to not get bogged down in the menus and have been limiting my equipment/gem changes to every few hours. It hasn't seemed to make too much of a difference so far.

And the side quests just never stop! I'm trying to maintain forward progress but I get distracted chasing after the !s on the map. At least some of them resolve automatically and there's fast travel to make my life easier.

Sounds like the Nazi is better at explaining his stances and points then. Lol. Maybe you should learn how to engage and have discussion like that Nazi then. Converting 10 different people of other ideologies to their stance is actually quite impressive.

Almost everyone has somewhere they are coming from in their stances. It's seeing where they are coming from and trying to make them see why another way is better that is the winning ticket. Just because you feel your way is better does not mean you actually do or they will agree your way is better

oh god

Has it been your choice all three times? Maybe that's a good reason to do two a month, gives more chances to pull a variety.

it has, which I chalk up to lower participation meaning I simply had a greater percentage chance.

I think of this as secondary to the regular GotM. You could up it to 2 games, though that means itd be a total of 5 between the two which is a lot of a month. Then again, most people (myself included) dont do every game in a month

I dont know, maybe just limit the number of times someone can have their game selected either to a per year max or not allow multiple months in a row.

Just a reminder that Kylie's first hit was all the way back in 1988 with The Loco-motion, which is simply crazy to think about:

I just imagined someone naming their dog that and yelling it out in a public park and it made me giggle.
