Backloggd has a nicer social aspect and the visual element is satisfying.

Backloggery is a more simplified, cleaner design that I find easier to keep track of.

Haven't tried Infinite Backlog.

I could go Sigur Rs, but I'll go with

dEUS - The Ideal Crash

Belgian art-rock band. The Ideal Crash isn't as experimental or artsy as predecessor 'In a Bar, Under the Sea', but the creativity and art is still there, it's just interwoven into the music more subtly. The band at its peak, an album with amazing consistency and quality throughout.

Sample track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0hPLvWPvac

It started in Paris 06. Then they took Henry. Then in 2011, the Van Persie red card robbed us during a tie we were superior in.

Then they spent two years tapping up and taking Cesc Fabregas from us.

I can't really hold the various Messi demolitions against them, but what I do hold against them is the way they financially mismanaged their dominant position at the top of world football. HOW could you let that fall apart. You had the best team arguably ever for most of a decade. That should've been a platform to set you up financially to succeed FOREVER, and now they're selling the rights to their stadium just to make ends meet? Shambles.

I despise Barca for a lot of the same reasons, but I don't really get 'taking Henry from us'. We were clearly at the end of a cycle, Henry was like 30 and wanted/needed a CL win, and I doubt he would've gotten it with us (but hey, that 08 team!!!). He'd won everything else with us, so I felt it was a somewhat logical step? It's why, out of all the mercs that left us, the only one I can kind of accept at this point is Cole; he was an invincible, had won everything (save that CL),...

Much better than scum like Nasri or RvP who we babied for years in medbays and then he has one amazing season where he's not injured and he goes off.

It's like you his are saying Saving Private Ryan couldn't be a good movie because it wasn't "fun" enough.

A well made war movie is fantastic. To me it was not only a good war movie, but it existed in a universe I already enjoy.

I didn't need Rogue One to be fun, but I needed it to be at the very least interesting, which it never hits. Solo, opposed to Rogue One, should be fun, and very clearly tries to be, and it hits it well at times too.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Metroid
Final Fantasy VI
Super Mario Kart

First 3 are a lock imo, although FF VI could be swapped with IV considering IV is the prototype. After that it's a wildfire. Super Mario Kart is basically the OG Mario spin-off which paved the way for every kart, sport, and party game that came after in the Mario franchise. Yoshi's Island is pretty much the first succesful Mario spin-off if I'm not mistaken. Street Fighter II is Street Fighter II, probably equivalent to GoldenEye on the N64. Star Fox is Mode 7 crazies.

Have fun with it. I made a completely mixed build, alternating my points in every stat. I think that was mostly only possible in the old version however, as going off of PL it throws more stat checks your way and the game just seems a bit tougher in general, but I had a lot of fun with it that way, just by having the options of going stealth or guns blazing.

Someone above mentioned throwing knives, and while those are cool, most of the guns are pretty satisfying in this game.

Harry Kane has scored plenty of goals against us, but he also has lost plenty games against us as well.

I want revenge, and most of all I just want a team that will play football with us.

It's the last 8 of the champions league, bro. The games aren't gonna be easy, let's let them be fun.

Sure, but I still would've preferred to spank Xavi's 'Barca DNA' ass. Bayern were always simply better than us. Barca had the RvP red card, the whole Fabregas saga,...

These two arcs are so completely incomparable I do not know why you would even make the comparison in the first place.

One is the finale to one part of the story, the other is the start of the second part of the story. They deal with completely different things and perspectives and you could almost argue they're barely the same anime!
