We’re arguing cemantics now so it’s not a big deal, but not every battle has to be a freestyle either. Battling on wax as Nas and Jay-z or many others did is perfectly fine - you can write up your rhymes and do as much touch-ups as you want. What counts is when everybody else hears it. It’s not a 1v1 in the club.
I…

Well, it’s so obscure and the requirements to making it happen to you are all down to luck. I only play in human mode when I do pvp or want to kill the NPC invaders in each area. If I played as non-hollow all the time I guess chances of someone else online dying with humanity near me would be a bit higher. Most…

This will never get old.

The corporate drama itself was boring, but the Meachums almost made me like parts of that show. Everything else around them and Coleen Wing was terrible. Tom Pelphrey was MVP of that wretched series as Ward. Too bad the series stunk overall, but he still came out smelling or roses IMO.

I am mostly pissed I’ve never seen a Vagrant. I randomly found about it while fucking around on the Souls wiki. Accomplished almost everything I care for in these games, but never ever met one of those. Also never been gravelorded, another big miss for me.

Still great if you loved it before and if you’re not turned off by how dated it looks (or the camera). I replay them occasionally every few years.

What makes a truly good game? For a platformer it was very charming, had a great hook with the TV genre parody levels and everything was great fun except the camera. :) Not sure why it didn’t become more popular - could have been a bit more polished, but still a very fun game, which makes it great IMO.

I love that game, I loved even the crap camera which killed you on numerous occasions. Learning to control it or switching directions on the fly to maintain course when it tried to screw you over seemed like a skill in itself. It’s not the most popular platformer, but for me it’s close to the Crashes and Jak & Daxters…

I’m not even from the US and I know a freestyle is just spitting spontaneous bars over a beat, in the moment. It doesn’t have to be a battle rap, they can just bring you up on the radio for album promotion or an interview and ask you to freestyle. It can be any topic, it can be just boastful rhymes with clever…

Let’s hope he didn’t. It was the most entertaining thing in rap in the last few years and I personally wish to see how much deeper can Pusha bury him in case he fires back a (very late) reply.

Nas worked with him, Kudi too, not to mention all the people he’ll keep making beats for. Kanye is a bipolar asshole who has no idea/doesn’t care what he’s saying most of the time - you can shit on him all you want, but people will keep working with him until he does worse. I don’t think he’s mentioned anything…

Wow, I never expected an article from nickel-nine here.
Royce, in the off-chance you read this:

Has anyone ever given a shit about Oprah after her show went off the air? It’s not like she’s a popular actress or showrunner. What’s she gonna do? The only option I see is some sort of talk show again. And god forbid she features hacks like Dr Phil or Dr Oz again.

First season was amazing, but it also felt like it knew where it was going. I started watching season 2 and dropped it 2 episodes in. A bunch of nonsense, people with baskets on their head and android girls with mustaches for no reason. Also, slow, unfocused, headed nowhere. I will finish the season, but at least the…

It is on game mode. Issues were caused by reworking the entire game with a different engine and the hitboxes being rounder around the edges. If before you could make a series of perfect precise jumps and landed on Crash’s shoe, it would still count and he will stand on the damn edge by his damn shoe. Now all it takes…

Not mad, but extremely disappointed? Haven’t picked it up again after noticing the issues (and then reading about them everywhere, so I’m not the only one turned off by it) - maybe someday. Tried pushing through to see if I get used to it, but that shit just breaks up my flow. On an emulator I can still go through…

Ouch. Haven’t had the ‘pleasure’. That sounds almost unplayable.

But will it have absolutely garbage hitboxes and frequent unintended sliding off edges? Crash was such a disappointment I am pissed at giving them my money. I’d rather play it on an emulator. Never buying a remaster blindly until I know what they fucked up first. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Spyro anyway (great games…

Right? When it comes to respect from the hardcore scene he is dead and buried. The diss track was barely registered among his casual fans, so his corny ass won’t lose much. He will always be radio-friendly, with being biracial and having what they call ‘sensitive and introspective’ raps. Ugh.

This will probably be my next car, I absolutely love the way it looks. The mileage numbers are not bad for AWD from their official specs. How is yours in the city and on the highway? I want to know what to expect since I’ll probably buy one with ~150K km on the clock, obviously broken in. Considering the awd TSI too…
