Why the Drake hate? Dude is wildly popular, has plenty of critical accolades to back up his sales, and makes some pretty stellar tunes.

Nah, live he's dancy af. He puts on an incredibly vibrant and fun show.

But Age of Adz and Carrie and Lowell are his best records.

Hey. Life of Pablo was the best pop record Kanye's ever put out.

Nah, Untitled Unmastered is still amazing. Only track on there that isn't a total win is the Cee-Lo one, everything else is fantastic.

I don't understand this at all. The record opens with Kendrick being shot by Lady Justice who's lost her scales—why would you immediately assume after that the record is just dope beats and killer hooks? I thought this record was a lot less digestible than the infinitely more groovy and hooky TPAB, even if it's easier

Untitled Unmastered isn't an album though. And it's also stellar.

Brother, have you heard the good word of Danny Brown?

But this is a concept record about Kendrick reflecting on his character and vices after he's shot on a walk one day.

Yeah, The Old Hunters is pretty remarkable. Fantastic gameplay, some of the best set pieces in the series, and a conclusion that completely wraps up the story in a way I didn't think I needed at all but am happy to have.

It depends. DS1 combat is pretty slow, you can definitely beat it by just tanking through enemies with a shield. For more nimble bosses (Artorias, Ornstein and Smough, Capra Demon, etc) it might be a real pain, though.

I understand all that—I just don't find any of it compelling in the slightest.

Your brother's so very wrong. One of my favorite horror movies ever—even without the marketing gimmick, it's incredibly unnerving and features some truly beautiful camerawork.

Yikes, that really IS a hot take. The DS2 DLCs were definitely better than the vanilla, but they all have the same bland video-gamey feel as the base game and artificial difficulty by way of mobs with too much health/gank fests.

She looks like a crossbreed like Yorshka and Priscilla, so she's probably got some dragon in her, explaining why she's locked in a painting as well.

The herald knights leading to the swamp can be a nightmare, but a plunge attack from above instant kills them. That should make the run to the swamp much much easier.

Yup. Yuria's dying words in the Japanese translation mention Kaathe's dying wish. Both Frampt and Kaathe are long dead.

That's not true. Frampt is aligned with the gods, Kaathe with the humans/Londor. One wanted to extend the age of Fire, one wanted to hand the reigns over to humanity/the pygmies. We don't get a rich backstory for either, but we know they're basically biblical serpent figures (imperfect dragons, as the game calls them)

It's hard, but not unfair. Once you learn how to play the game you'll cruise through it. My first Dark Souls playthrough took about 60 hours, my second took about 10.

Alternative take: this DLC is just behind The Old Hunters for the best piece of content From has ever put out.
