I'll fully acknowledge that this game is a different, and a black sheep, but this game is the tightest Mario has ever been in a 3d setting. 64 controls well, and has a wide movepool, but every single thing that Mario can do controls perfectly in this game imo, at least in the non-FLUDD department. Even FLUDD, I would

Really glad Shannon Hoon is mentioned though, Blind Melon are so underrated. Both their debut and Soup are incredible. And the song Soup from the b-sides record is one of the best songs of the 90s imo. What a unique voice.

Why is pretty much everyone so far bemoaning this article? I thought it was a pretty fun interview-thing. The writer person got in a few clever lines and was entertaining throughout, so where's the harm in interviewing a not-real thing?

Both of those versions are off base imo. Furries are fans of anthropomorphic animals, period. A lot of people try to downplay the sexual element, but that's also wrong, because a lot of people are introduced through that. But its specifically the "fucking with costumes" that I hate people spreading. Most people

I never thought I'd see Dan Rykert's name mentioned around here. He's a living legend.

Except White album was great.

If we want to get really specific, I would say the earliest and biggest band who released something online for free would be The Smashing Pumpkins' Machina II. That was in 2000, 7 years before Radiohead. But I guess it didn't make waves like Radiohead's In Rainbows did, and the band was past its general relevancy

I had heard of the Shins before this summer, but this summer was the first time I actually listened to them. And holy hell are they good. Mercer has made some incredible pop songs, and their album run has been so consistent. Super psyched that they're putting out a new album soon.

Well, the new Weezer is pretty damn good, so I'm glad either way. And now I'm moderately excited for GD. And 90s nostalgia is at an all time high. Whatever it is, if you like guitar pop like me, you just want more stuff to listen to.

Yeah, they don't give me the raw emotional response I got when I was a teenager, but I can respect them for what they were. And they put on a damn good live show, so there's that, too.

Alright, I'll bite. I've always thought GD was a solid power pop band that makes tightly constructed pop with a punk aesthetic. I think most of their albums work on some level, and for the most part their run has been extremely consistent. They only totally lost me on Uno, Dos, and Tre. All that is to say, its

Right, I agree. Colossus and Negasonic were pretty obviously representations of the two ruling idealz and stylez for super hero movies: The goody-two-shoes, triumphant type (Captain America, most Marvel films), and the brooding, angsty type (Dark Knight, most DC films), and it was Deadpool's way of flinging shit at

The more I thought about my experience watching Deadpool, the less I liked it. Its essentially a movie full of boring, reference based humor delivered so quickly that it had no time to register anyways, and the script didn't allow for the characters to breathe. There were fun aspects, such as the X-Men's

Can we just talk about how great of a song I Am A Tree is? It always struck me how GBV-esque the song was without actually being written by Pollard.

Where I live, there's a fairly big and well known public park that has several gyms in it, and I swear, HUNDREDS of people are going out every day and playing. Last night I was there at 10 at night and everyone was there for Pokemon. Including me, full disclosure.

Yeah I mean, I think that Green, Mala, and Red all have their moments, but the last two have been way more consistent IMO. I personally don't like EWBAITE as much, but it does have a higher batting average than the others I listed.

Say what you will about this song, White Album is still their best since Pinkerton. I think the Weezer cycle may be that they're only allowed to make 2 great albums every 20 years.

Yeah, it seems more ironic than anything. By itself the song wouldn't be ballsy, but because its representing NASA, its kind of subversive?

I don't get why exactly people always seem so put off by these kinds of articles. They seem like their entire point is to point out the inanity of internet culture anyways.

Now if you go in on youtube and play it at 1.5x speed, it becomes a Torche album!
