Me, too. They're fun.

I buy these Feiyue shoes a couple times a year off Amazon. They're as minimal as it gets and cost half as much as Converse. Had to get some gel insoles when I started working on my feet all the time, though.

IT'S ME, HARDWICK! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG, HARDWICK!

It really isn't. I'm a dude. I was sexually abused as a child. This has, as you might expect, created some challenges. Respecting victims has never been one of them.

Check out Eddie's solo in Roger Waters' "Lost Boys Calling." I think he could always play that way—it's just that Van Halen's music never really called for it. I'm sure there's more of it in the Van Hagar-era power ballads, but I ain't about that life.

It's truly a shame that Dave's assholishness has crept slowly but surely into his lyrics. "The Threat Is Real" is absolute fire as metal tracks go, but goddamn if it doesn't read like Alex Jones trying out poetry.

As a squeamish little weenie boy, I'll cop to using 'torture porn' in the past to describe movies I would never watch. It really is a stupid term.

The fanatical devotion that Maiden inspires in fans literally everywhere is on full display in the Flight 666 doc, and it is truly heartwarming. If you've got that kind of love, who needs the mainstream?

The La-li-lu-le-lo?

I thought about telling my mom, but I figure why spoil it for her?

Never liked this band at all really, but that's a great song.

He's gonna get off scot-fuckin'-free.

For a while I felt I 'should' start with DS2, but Bloodborne just looks so much more interesting—I love the atmosphere and aesthetic. There's also the fact that DS2 was missing some key personnel from DS1, and from what my friends have said about it, it showed. I can report back after I've spent some time with…

Only thing I've spoiled so far in my months of hemming and hawing is an outline of Eileen's quest line (I saw some of her dialogue watching someone else play and found her too rad for words). I will be following a guide to see her plot through, but otherwise I'm going to go blind until I really get stuck.

Finally bought Bloodborne. I've long been intrigued yet terrified of Souls games, but I can no longer resist diving in and trying them out for myself. Here goes nothin'.

This guy is an asshole and the more attention the AV Club gives him the less I want to continue reading the AV Club.

It taught me how to approach women. It's not going super well so far, but I just need to try harder.

I'd never seen that and it is really fucking good.

"Wounded" was certainly not a hit, but it's a lovely song. And utterly wasted on an audience full of assholes.

Silverchair is good. "Emotion Sickness" is a beautiful song. That is all.
