Well, I finally beat Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin. I felt some ambivalence along the way about some of its departures from the first game, but with all said and done, I think it was an excellent and deeply engaging game. It does have a certain unevenness about it compared to the original, but I think a lot…

#NotAllGhosts

Or a boss on Dark Souls.

Don't get me wrong, this song sucks, but I kind of feel like, you know what, just let her do it. Nobody gives a shit about Blind Melon, they had one hit twenty years ago and they were lucky to have that. If anything, this girl is doing them a favor. Just go with it.

They weren't even good! I don't know why they were so prominent at one point. They probably didn't cost very much.

Easily one of the best metal albums ever made. I don't know that a heavier song than "Locust Star" has been written.

I knew they couldn't stay retired. I really hope the new stuff is good, though…they were the rare band to break up after a basically impeccable career without ever putting out anything shitty or inessential, and that always makes me nervous for a reunion situation with new material. It would pretty lame if the new…

I don't think that really solves it, because that could still leave musicians financially liable to other artists for ambiguous reasons. Litigious folks like the Gaye estate are still going to want their money, and saying "This song was inspired my Marvin Gaye" is only going to help them make a stronger case that they…

Nah, my drunk typing abilities are just really solid.

As a person who is currently quite drunk, I feel pretty confident that he's drunk as shit in that video. At least he'd better be…if this is sober talk, there's less hope for him than I thought.

Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons!

Ice Cube will swarm on any motherfucker in a "Make America Great Again" uniform.

Once I had my car broken into while I was at a show in Greensboro, NC, a couple of hours from where I lived at the time. They got my CD player, my trunk speakers, all my CDs, and the fucking sandwich I had in the car that I was going to eat on the way home. Naturally, I called the cops to make a report. A little while…

In addition to the reasons other people have said, it was probably easier in the early days to get your career off the ground if you teamed up with a couple of other guys and pooled your resources. Now, the barrier to creating rap music is so low that being harnessed to a group is more of a hindrance than a help. It…

Have you seen how much weight Gucci Mane lost since getting sober? He looks about ten years younger.

Probably figuring out that you can return to the Undead Asylum in Dark Souls. It's never indicated that you can return to the starting area later in the game, and the path back to it is cleverly hidden, but players who learn to read Dark Souls' visual language will see the signposts clear as day: the fact that you can…

That's the Shrine of Amana.

I think I'm finally coming down the home stretch on Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin? I know I said a while back that this game seems a lot easier than the first Dark Souls, but I might finally be running up against a wall. I completed both the Shulva and Brume Tower sections (both extremely excellent) and am…

Didn't know about this but it looks great. I'm a big fan of mind-melting puzzles in video games; I know a lot of people find games like this frustrating, but I find it super relaxing to go through my mental process and figure out solutions.

For the express purpose of undermining it.
