I love that the Black Moon sample on New Edition's Hit Me Off was actually credited. I imagine them going out to shop for some new Timbs with that sweet boy band cash.

Disagree on two counts: Premier beats don't magically make rappers sound good. By modern standards they're pretty basic, leaving a lot of room for the rapper to shine. If you don't have skills, then a song that's basically a 4 bar loop is gonna get boring real soon, no matter how good the loop is. See Reks - Say…

I know how *I* interpret it, but the fuckers still tore down my keep because apparently death rays are "code violations" now.

Look who's talking. I'm pretty sure you can't legally bear hug children either.

Apparently Community has been picked up in Germany. Maybe the non-US market can make Sony happy, like it does with the Playstation 3 and ill-conceived blockbusters. I guess someone could google that to verify it, but I think it's more fun for everyone if we leave it at "A commenter on an internet site said some guy on…

I think the bitching was mostly due to its overuse for a while, and, well, the music itself that accompanied Auto-Tune-as-an-effect. I'm pretty sure the vast, vast majority of people who complain about it can't identify pitch correction when the threshold is set to sensible levels (I mean, most people can't hear how…

The Standards department is telling me you can only say Katniss twice.

Ooh, with production by No ID, Salaam Remi and Jack Splash among others. Nas guest verse. (On the Remi track, of course. Is there some sort of package deal?) Yup, gonna have to check this one out.

Depends on where you are I guess. Protestants in Europe are typically more progressive than their Catholic counterparts. My brother's wife is a pastor's daughter and she loves all kinds of wizard-related nerd stuff and I don't think she ever got any crap for it. Most of them seem to subscribe to the "Look, just don't…

I've had the same experience. The promiscuous elf guy is always played by a girl.

I'm on the other end of sleepiness right now, and I'll somewhat agree. Every journey, similar to the last but never quite the same, seems to be both prehistoric mythogenesis and posthistoric retelling of an older myth. Success is only made possible by interacting with the shreds of writing left behind. As we progress,…

@avclub-b31df16a88ce00fed951f24b46e08649:disqus  It's probably not what you're looking for, but Legend of Grimrock is an upcoming Dungeon Master clone that looks quite decent. So maybe a Gold Box revival isn't too far away.

It's also on http://www.nbc.com/community/ for all the world's un-American socialists to see.

They are totally doing a HD remaster, with stages from 1 & 2. They'll probably ditch the licensed music though.

Get a room you 10.

Tangent: Is having to be interested in a Miku Hatsune thing as scary and confusing to you as it is to me? Curse you, AM2!

That's the reason I give my more pirate-y inclined friends when they wonder why I pay for stuff I could get for free. It's basically the "Why you should vote" argument: I like to be able to complain that everything's shit nowadays, and I don't get to do that when I just sit back and don't participate in deciding what…

Realistically speaking the privacy concerns would be laughable in today's world. Submitting my TV viewing habits in a somewhat anonymized form wouldn't be remotely as bad for my privacy as the kind of data my ISP already collects, or even my local library for what it's worth. Plus, as others pointed out, you could…

It's kind of true anyway, though, at least in the commercial sector. Oseam is a nice enough film, but in spite of its animation rather than because of it. Mari Iyagi can be visually striking, but is held back by somewhat lifeless animation as well. Plus I think most of the work they do for American shows in just doing…
