The fact that they call it that lets me know they're not ready.

I think that's a cute touch, maybe because I do the same thing with animals. A friend's dog evolved from Layla > Layla Cakes > L.C. > Elsie > Elsie Lately.

I’ve been watching the Best Friends let’s play of RE VII and even some of that is too scary for me, twice removed from actually playing.

Ooooh, I didn’t know that. That makes me feel better about hearing it 37364 times. They were literally telling me to lose the jacket and I never did.

But did they lose the jacket?

I’m excited for this game since I never played the Wii U version. It’s going to be one of my Four In February. Can’t wait until Friday.

Why did they bother to preface the first performance with "They usually only perform originals, but they're going to cover this song one time only as a tribute…." if all of the songs on the show are going to be covers?

Fallout 4

Not necessarily “bad” habits, but..

So I just watched 1 - 9 in one sitting. If there's a second season, I'd like a lot more Malcolm Jamal-Warner but other than that, no complaints. Did beloved character actor Margo Martindale hit someone with a truck on Bojack? She might as well have.

I really wish more companies would do this. Square Enix, Konami, Nintendo. There are hundreds of "tributes" to the various Final Fantasy and Zelda soundtracks on Spotify. Why not load the real ones and make the $$?

Roses are red

Tangentially related, a Kickstarter to afford Hans-Joachim Roedelius to tour the U.S. this year.

I’m finding more and more that the quality of the commentary is the most important factor in how enjoyable these playthroughs are. If you missed it, wait for the video of tonight’s Shovel Knight race for a great example.

There was also tons of talk that it was a one-off, and that a new Gameboy was still coming because there was no way Nintendo would just throw away a decade of goodwill/brand recognition built in the Gameboy name.

This is similar to my list except skip January add Mass Effect if it really does come out in March.

Fallout 4 (PS4) 1/17/16

Welcome to 2017 everybody! Are we gonna get a ‘what games did we beat in 2016' article? Was there already one and I missed it?

If you ain’t got Mojo Nixon then your post could use some fixin’.
