It did really confuse me for a long time.

I mean I've seen a LOT of UK bands wearing them. I guess I didn't specify that in the first place.

I've never seen a single one in any UK charity shop I've ever been in. Obviously this is because all the bands get there first, I guess.

In every DIY punk or synth-based indie band I've seen since 2006, there's been at least one D.A.R.E. shirt in the tour party. I don't know what this has to do with anything.

Mar-A-Lagate, surely?

In the UK, we blame the party who was in power last time! Everything's the last Labour government's fault so we can't vote for them again! Even if the biggest critics of the last Labour government are the current Labour party leaders.

aah! i did ok with them in tos too - the hinoxes caught me off guard more if i wasn't being careful enough.

The first Talus destroyed me when I was naught but a novice - fortunately knowing how to handle them made it pretty easy to beat even in Master Mode. Knowing where it is is a good start - jumping down onto it so you're ready to swing with the sledgehammer from the stasis shrine (and having stasis ready to freeze it

I've got to the point where EVERYTHING left to upgrade needs star pieces. From the looks of it, a lot of the Zelda Amiibo give star piece drops so hopefully I'll get consistently lucky! Farming them naturally is just… not fun.

Ha! I think there's the diamond circlet in there, which was a constant in my gear set until I could afford the guardian armour. Now it's mostly champion tunic, amber earrings and guardian greaves for defence (swap the earrings for the korok mask while exploring), or full barbarian set for the attack boost.

I love the open-endedness of it - though I'm dying for the supposed new story quest in the next DLC, my favourite thing is just wandering through that world.

Yeah going down to get the Travel Medallion in my Tingle gear was a big mistake. The stupid thing is I'd been down there before and should have known what to expect. That was probably about a hundred hours ago though! Master Mode is an absolute bastard, battles on the plateau are tougher than the final set of Sword

Already got stuck into the BOTW DLC last weekend - breezed through the first two stages of the Trial of the Sword, but the last one was ridiculously tough. Top tip: use your guardian arrows on Lynels and you'll save yourself some hassle.

Though they did also have P.O.D. at one point so that does my argument no favours.

Ha! I forgot they used to be on Tooth & Nail. That's part of it, but not the only reason they get tagged with it - a general misunderstanding of their lyrics is, I think, the main thing. Not everyone on T&N was a Christian band.

Interesting point on mewithoutYou there - they often get tagged with the Christian label, because that's a much bigger part of the post-hardcore scene they come from than it is in indie rock. Christcore is totally a thing - and much-loved bands like Underoath (can't stand 'em) and Thrice (they have some pretty good

Very much looking forward to this. When I saw them after Forgiveness Rock Record came out they sounded a little bit tired (I really like that record just btw) - but since coming back off this not-quite-hiatus they sound so fucking energised and vital live that it just knocks everything out of you. It's incredible to

Rightly so?

See also the overlap with their gloomier post-rock counterparts - Godspeed, Mt. Zion, Set Fire To Flames, Do Make Say Think, Valley of the Giants, etc. You can bump it up to an even half when you include that lot.

This totally reminds me of Paul Who Is A Ghost from Pictures For Sad Children and for that reason alone I want to watch it.
