It's gotten so that even I enjoy it, turning "into full-on electro-pop" is a warning sign for a lack of ideas and resignation to anonymity.

Yeah! They're dumb because they of their birth circumstances, education, and choosing to be in an awful band that draws attention from the many, many top-tier Russian musicians, some of which, like Nina Kraviz and 813, are actually draws internationally.

Also, their early EP, with the unfortunate title of In Pursuit Of Pooh!

I think that song is surely the best on the album, but, man, you don't know how weird he was BEFORE that album. Making Mirrors had a couple of traditional pop hits mixed with some art pop, Like Drawing Blood was as straightforward trip hop as it gets, and then Boardface didn't have him singing, as he stuck behind the…

I really appreciated the focus on subject matter (William Hughes loses it sometimes, so I really do), but, yeah, now bring the focus on the outcomes. What do you want readers to know, since it's hopefully not just a chance for people to blow off political steam in the comments? As suggested, 1 path is not just saying,…

There are hundreds of awesome 7-minute shorts. I just don't think they work if they are 15 seconds and every scene requires some kind of entrance and exist.

Same for me, but the origin happened 8(?) years ago! I ended up getting it after talking last week, and it's very, very re-readable. It's not just a glorified coffee table art book.

Yup, I did. I actually would love to see a remake of this for the same reason. If you have 2 cases that make viewers uncomfortable with "their side" and the "other side," you have a real chance for some drama and beauty. I think the lack of certainty Americans feel about our country could be directly channeled into…

I don't sit with the pop superfans (give me Tricot and Boris, Tenniscoats and Shugo Tokumaru, Akira Kosemura and Haruka Nakamura, Jealousguy and Noah, Cokiyu and Cuushe before anyone except Kyary Pamyu Pamyu), but I'm pretty sure there aren't many Americans who know or care about her music, and those who do know her…

I know that various j-pop and k-pop mega-groups try their best to inflict their wares on America, but it doesn't seem to happen to often in non-Anglophone Europe. I never got to let my inner goth kid out growing up, and so I have a weakness for terrible heavy music.

Also, rest in peace, Terry Wogan, a.k.a. T-Wog$ a.k.a. the best thing Peter Serafinowicz has ever done in an amazing career. Bless up, mah selecta. Don worry, bruv. Ah see yuh.

(No, no! You probably have more experience than I do, at least from Xbox 360 generation on!) See Girard and Merlin the Tuna . It was an expectations game.

Aw, yes! I have definitely figured out Ace Attorney puzzles outside of the game. That's the sign it's good enough to have its hooks in you.

It is an interestingly argued article, but I thought we agreed over the last decade that Houston was all chops, no taste. That's not to say she wasn't a good arranger for what she was trying to do. "The curse: Whitney was regarded as all instinct and natural gifts, whereas Mariah, arranger and songwriter, had a…

Yeah, I don't want to be a jerk, and I'd love Eduard Artemiev (Solaris, Siberiade, Stalker, Wearied By The Sun), Mogwai, or Johann Johannsson to stuff, but who would pick a movie soundtrack over a video game soundtrack?

This is so well-put. I think there is a pure joy of gameplay that we have come to value in stuff like Contra or Battle Garegga that is an admiration of the brain of the developer and the matching brain of the player, coming together to create something pure and beautiful. It's like chess: a blank slate that can create…

"…but in general, those ideas all have a few things in common about what is fun and interesting and what you can expect a player to do. And older-style adventure games don't meet any of those criteria - when you go back and look at any of the adventure games from that era they don't hold up today."

I HATE Braid and I HATE(d) Blow, as it was a symbol of mediocre indie puzzle games with half-baked "meaning" and minimal aesthetics of which there is still a glut but which used to be everywhere. He was a symbol of Western decadence in art, not just video games.

Eh, let me try to dissuade you from the cool premise, cast, and more positive review.

And it was on Sky in the U.K., I think.
