I also detect some similarities, ever briefly, of Peter Gabriel's "Up" album. The song, "The Drop" could almost fit on this. Or they could do a helluva cover of it.

I do think it's interesting how I can see the same album being viewed as "well, this is where I get off" for some fans, and other fans claiming it's their best, or at least among their best. I think I tend to view it closer to the latter, currently, or at least a much-needed uptick after KoL. But I can't fault…

I really didn't like AMOK, and I mostly enjoyed Eraser. I thought they might be of a piece, but while Eraser sounded enjoyably like Thom just futzing around with his laptop and coming up with stuff, AMOK didn't sound like anything at all.

It's remarkable how the same song used to sound—well, sweet. I was lucky enough to see them perform it the first time I saw them, on the Kid A tour, and it was lovely, and seemed like a nod to the simpler times/arrangements of their early/mid-90's stuff. The sentiment was there, but it didn't seem any sadder than…

I'm still processing this, after my first listen.

Oh yeah, I was enjoying those, too. The scene of Darth Vader realizing who Luke is was phenomenal.

There's a part of me that knows this, and I've recently enjoyed certain runs on the MU app. (Thor, Daredevil, etc.) That said, I was also finding the sheer convenience of the MU app made everything less impactful. Kind of like how having a music streaming service made music seem disposable, for me. I'm sure I'll…

That was certainly my take as well. Reading the comparison to gun control above surprised me. Maybe there are analogies that work, but it definitely seemed more of a post 9/11 commentary. Particularly considering when it was written.

I don't know if Civil War II has any relationship to the whole recent Secret Wars thing, but reading what little I did of that, it finally seemed like I was reading corporate mandates regarding what "realities" to promote and use, in-universe. In that regard, seeing another "Civil War" title seems to fall into the…

Just checked. First appearance was in '89, so.

It all reminds me of a conversation a friend of mine and I had, about how Nirvana are still this band that symbolizes rebellion for teens today. It's weird, because it seems like there should be a current artist that the punk/weirdo kids would rally behind, but it's like Kurt Cobain is still the poster child from 20+…

The Tyrion/dragons thing didn't bother me. They made a point of saying the dragons were intelligent. I could see them sparing Tyrion, who walked into their lair specifically to free them. (I could also have seen them toasting him afterwards, but maybe they were feeling magnanimous…)

People are young enough to have gotten into Green Day through their PARENTS now?

I think it's obvious when he starts doing his occasionally more partisan political bits, it becomes a better show.

I'd say that timeline is "Optimistic", but I agree with everything else here.

What's wrong with being sexy?

Yeah, it doesn't seem like there were any differences in TP's case that made the Wii version better, other than maybe having a 16:9 screen. As long as it's still coming out for Wii U, I'm happy enough.

This is a bummer. Zelda Wii U is a significant reason I bought the system. Foolish, maybe, but I have enjoyed the Zelda HD games, and Hyrule Warriors. I'm a casual gamer at best, so having a handful of games I really enjoy is preferable, for me, than a vast catalog of stuff I'm not terribly interested in.

You know, I should be, but I've enjoyed it. I'm a casual gamer at best, so being able to play through the HD Zelda games and a few others are fine for me.

De! Troit!
