I've started a new game of SMS multiple times since it was released, each time telling myself "Okay, THIS is the time I play through and finally complete this game" and each time I get up to around the third world before giving it up. I can't do it.

Saw a double feature of the original version of The Beguiled with 1978's Girlfriends (could be Girl Friends with a space) last night. The first half of The Beguiled was kind of a snoozefest, but I perked up in the second half with things get a little wonky for everyone. I'm actually curious to see the remake now…

I just want to say I thoroughly enjoyed Honeymoon, maybe even enough to say it's one of the best horrors I've seen in recent years. Something about it really affected me and I still think about it after I first saw it three years ago. Be warned: it is potentially a divisive movie and if you need full closure in your…

I've seen Murder by Death probably about 6 or 7 times now. We're going to try to get tickets to one of their Stanley Hotel shows for early next year!

Just gonna throw this out there and hope for the best: thinking about driving up to Cleveland next week while I'm on vacation. Any recommendations on stuff to do? I could ask Google, but it's just going to give me touristy stuff. I'm looking for some off-the-beaten-path type places, nerd crap, pop culture…

My ranking follows the release of the movies. First one is obviously the best, and just diminishing returns with each release. It's Beneath's weirdness that makes me like it so much, and WHAT an ending. Also what I really like about those first three is how they got creative in continuing it, especially after Beneath…

He stepped down from everything and kind of disappeared.

The Canon is still going? I thought that died with Faraci's career.

Ms 45. Don't have much to say about it, just that was enjoyable. A brisk hour and 20 minutes, which is always appreciated.

Best thing about all this is getting to see the word butthole in the news and headlines everywhere.

So I got my rank 7 100% in the Age of Triumph record book in Destiny. Ordered the shirt, and after two nights this week of staying up until around 2-3am playing the game (and accomplishing… not really a whole lot?) and getting up for work a few hours later, I want to be done with this game for awhile. On one hand I'm…

I've been revisiting the first Tony Hawk's Pro Skater soundtrack off and on since this past weekend. That game came out when I was 16 and pretty much shaped my taste in music forever. I mean, I liked The Offspring when Smash was released and I delved into their back catalog, but that was about my only exposure to…

Followup question: and why does anyone continue to care about them?

I got my 100% rank 7 achievement in the Age of Triumph record book in Destiny sometime last week. I just ordered my shirt this morning. Somehow getting 100% just refueled me and I want to keep completing more nodes in the book despite there being really NO point at all. Damn this game straight to hell.

Update: I achieved rank 7 last week and just ordered my shirt. Somehow achieving 100% on the book just refueled me and I want to complete even MORE nodes despite there really being no point.

I'm okay with this.

Personally I'm hoping that new Lana Del Rey sounds more like Ultraviolence than the rest of what she's done. Didn't care at all about Born to Die and Honeymoon. But for some Ultraviolence gave me an immediate reaction and I can put it on any time.

I always like to spam "I'm using title controls!" on the course select screen when playing online, when I in fact do not use tilt controls.

The Witcher gear from the treasure hunts are great. I spend a bit of time hunting down the griffin, cat and bear school stuff before I realized I was just kind of sick of playing the whole game with the same sets of weapons and armor, so I dumped the Witcher gear in my stash and went back to picking up stuff hoping it…

I'm three nodes away from rank 7 in my Age of Triumph record book in Destiny. Just need to knock out a couple of the simpler tasks, then I can order a t-shirt and display to the world how much of a Destiny nerd I am.
