I don't think I've picked up a Sun Kil Moon album since, um… Admiral Fell Promises. Alesund was a great opening track. loaned my copy to an ex, never got it back, and I guess that kinda signaled a fadeout for me, personally.

possibly stupid question, but do you buy your kimchi ready to go from a grocery store?

the only industries more corrupt that I can think of off the top of my head are the maple syrup cartel (seriously) and some of the sleaze that happens with regards to the construction industries.

it has never occurred to me to freeze milk, and when I was buying milk as a single person, 4 litres was way too much (unless I ate truly stupid amounts of cereal, which I definitely did not need to do)

god, hydro (electricity) bills in Ontario are fucking insane.

honestly, if I could get Hormel Black Label Bacon here, I'd at least try it.

it can be two things, etc.

every time his special(s) veered into discussion of gender and orientation, it felt like he was seriously missing the mark. I actively cringed a number of times, even if much of it is fairly unrelatable to my direct experience as a white dude.

perhaps I should do the same. people on the internet can be terrible in ways that would get them thoroughly glassed if they were to attempt such things in person…

yeah that's… fucking insane, to say the least.

also true :)

Halo had well-crafted AI and I think did a good job of introducing a new generation of console players to LAN play (via link cables) and online gaming in general, via Xbox Live.

Pac Man, maybe?

early 3D adventure, codifying some aspects of moving and exploration in a 3D space?

I haven't looked at Cracked articles in at least four or five years. I imagine they hit diminishing returns pretty hard, if they started to hemorrhage staff like crazy.

the part where Susan (the love interest) is turned into a vampire was excellent. particularly the way in which it twists their interactions afterwards.

I think they only really click as a pop earworm type of thing if you first come across their stuff at a certain age, with sensibilities primed for something slightly different, but still very much pop music. I like some of their stuff, and Going Away to College is probably their best song.

it's inoffensive and kinda hits a demographic sweet spot for radio play.

stratification in societies is pretty normal, it's just not always so obvious.

you might've had more success if you went for something more melodic as a gateway to better music. just sayin'
