Support NeoGAF

[Incontinentia Buttocks]

Did you know there's a forthcoming movie roughly based on Chris Sievey's life? It's written by Jon Ronson (who used to be a member of his Frank's big band.)

It's Michael Fassbender wearing the head.

Only just saw this somehow but yes, I'm looking forward to it.

Fake edit: Woohoo, Frank Sidebottom at the top of two pages of BritGAF.

Only for you chumps that don't care about search results being bollocksed.

huh?

 

[Incontinentia Buttocks]

huh?

Exactly.

 

[Chinner]

after looking, they've ruined the look of the original WW. rest of it is decent first party support if you still like Nintendo.

 

[Hot Coldman]

after looking, they've ruined the look of the original WW.

Yep. Not sure if I'd say "ruined", but looks like an unnecessary adjustment to me.

Just 1080p the original, ffs.

 

[SteveWD40]

Nah thats too far south

Stalybridge AKA Staly Vegas (not idea how it god that name)

Small world, my gf is from Greenfield and we know some folks from Staly. That pub on the station is awesome.

 

[BGBW]

It's an experiment they decided to release rather than keep on their HDs.

But yeah, I though we were over the whole HD = Bloom era. At least it's not brown (though his sleeves are)

 

[Mikeside]

There must be some cool kids somewhere. probably in their bedrooms!

True story - my headphones broke last year and this little spotty work experience kid told me to go buy some Beats headphones and I laughed in his face. "But they're cool!" he said. "That," I replied "is the problem"

It's all about finding your own niche. There are probably tons of great venues down your way (in fact I saw Naked and Famous at some awesome club a couple of years back in Pompey and it was great). Go see some shitty bands and dance like a twat. It rocks. There will always be affluent shiny people ho want to borrow a taste of the authentic, us greebs need to find our own dark holes to hang out in and get the cool stuff before they ruin it :)

This is exactly the problem I have right now.

I don't know any decent venues around here anymore, and NONE of my friends like the same music I do anymore.

 

[SKINNER!]

Probably I know I'm gonna regret it but I'll give that Louis CK gig a pass. Especially since a good few Britgaffers will be attending. Really wished he came up north :/

 

[Suairyu]

New WW artstyle (lighting) is shit.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

A little bloom makes it shit now?

 

[Chinner]

'a little''?

 

[Rubbish King]

Exactly.

Whaa? Im on 100ppp..whats wraaang with that?

I was once tempted to go to Glastonbury, not for the music, but to see if I could camp there without losing half my stuff to the mud.

I've been to Glastonbury twice (2008 and 2009) and it got a bit muddy - but camping was fine & they put walkways all over the place everywhere else, so it wasn't that bad at all.


I can't believe it's been so long since I went to Glastonbury. Such a great festival.

Whaa? Im on 100ppp..whats wraaang with that?

I'm sure we've all had this discussion to death, but music do you listen to?
Top 10 bands, go.

 

[Kentpaul]

Nintendo systems and games..

Sure i loved the systems till the N64. Then i grew pubes and moved on to real consoles.

 

[Suairyu]

A little bloom makes it shit now?

"A little bloom"? It's a completely different lighting style that significantly changes the look of the 3D models and textures.

 

[daviyoung]

"real consoles"

Cool story, bro

 

[Hystzen]

Meh Nintendo games hold no interest over me anymore bored of Marios and Skyward Sword bored me of Zelda games heck if use Dolphin WW is in HD already

 

[SmokyDave]

KP keepin' it real.

The fact that so many people are happy to rebuy their Nintendo ROMs is hurting my head. They honestly don't seem to realise they're being fucked over.

Well there's not much in ash seeing as its a black hole of nothingness, but there's the westy in aldershot and boileroom in Guildford and there's usually a few interesting looking bands playing in a given week. Plus you can drive, the south is your oyster man!

If you fancy going to see something hit me up, I should leave my house a bit more.

Is there a summary of everything they announced?

This is true - I need to just get out there and get into a scene.
I'll be up for pretty much any local gigs anytime from next payday

I'll give you a shout if I'm going to anything.

Likelihood of uncovering some quirky act like a Tegan & Sara, except one of them is not a lesbian and into me? I've always wanted to date a musician.

 

[Hot Coldman]

-3D Mario/Mario Kart/Smash will be at E3 (shock)
-Virtual Console coming to Wii U, reduced prices on games you already bought on Wii (still ugh, I'll just keep my Wii)
-New Yoshi game; 2D, looks identical to Kirby's Epic Yarn
-New Monolithsoft game; looks like Xenoblade with obvious graphical upgrade and some sort of multiplayer. Insane scale, mechs.
-Fire Emblem crossing over with Shin Megami Tensei (not Persona)
-Wind Waker HD this year, looks weird
-Miiverse/OS updates forthcoming

And, most importantly of all, Kamiya is back. I don't give a fuck what you think about Nintendo's games, but if you aren't interested in what Platinum are bringing, I don't want to know you.

The only thing i care about but not enough to spend on another door stop like the Wii is at moment. I want my Bayonetta 2 but not crazy enough to buy console for it plus I still waiting for the day it gets a super turbo edition port the meltdown in the threads will be glorious.

Nintendo is helping to fund this game. It will never ever be ported.

Ever.

Top 10 bands, go.

I know you asked Tash but I'm gonna answer this too since I don't think I've ever tried to list my favourite bands. As a compulsive fan of the new, I find it a hard question to answer - do I choose the evergreen classics that I always return to? Do I choose acts where, even though I only have one record, it affected me profoundly? Do I include new bands where I don't know if they'll have staying power??

Questions questions. Here goes:

Los Campesinos!
Slow Club
Smashing Pumpkins
Nirvana
Radiohead
Conor Oberst (Bright eyes, Desaparecidos, Monsters of Folk)
Jonah Matranga (Far, Onelinedrawing, New End Original... maybe not Gratitude though)
Reuben
Titus Andronicus
Neutral Milk Hotel

Godamn that was hard! Quite a conventional indie boy list really. It's maybe more revealing to choose 10 more bands after that. Nothing really heavy in there, only a couple of girls, and some like Radiohead, Nirvana and the Pumpkins are givens because they've stayed with me my whole life, even though their relevance might wax and wane over time.

I've had an idea in my head for ages about putting together a best-of compilation for every year in my collection, I will have to get to it one day. Love making mixtapes...

oh actually as I typed that last sentence I had an idea. How would you guys feel about doing a mixtape exchange? We did it a few years back and it was awesome fun, and I think there's enough of us here with similar tastes that it could work really well. Last time we made physical disks and sent them out but tbh it was a bit of a pain in the arse, but sharing some zip files could be fun.

Any takers?

 

[Hystzen]

Ever.

Nintendo helped produce NG3 that already been ported

Then again im a pessimist over Bayo2 i really don't think they can do better then the first or replicate the feeling of the game. It one game never really wanted a sequel too the meltdown was funny but people championing the game as the second coming of jesus when they talk about Wii U is getting old

 

[Hot Coldman]

Nah, they just published the port, that's different. Bayonetta 2's very existence relies on Nintendo.

Last time we did lists you started doing psychoanalysis shit on everyone. And I pissed Meadows off.

This weeks Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents chick is fineeeee. Dudes a waster but he seems alright.

It is pretty ridiculous that they have to re-buy all their Roms but apart from that it's quite a good announcement. I'm curious to see the new Smash Bros. turns out as Brawl was such a dissapointment for me.

 

[Rubbish King]

Top 10 bands, go.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
-Incubus(Current Favourite)
-Red Hot Chili Peppers
-Foo Fighters
-Avenged Sevenfold
-Radiohead
-Five Finger Death Punch
-Audioslave
-Deftones(Love the new album)
-Pearl Jam
-Porcupine Tree


Some are frowned upon by many GAFers, but it's what i like

I also like Hendrix quite alot, that's just what I've had on my phone for the past couple weeks or so..oh and kudos on Smashing Pumpkins Jed!

You've got a lot of great stuff in there and I like most if not all of those bands. But personally I feel like Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Neutral Milk Hotel and Conor Oberst would be relegated my 'Nostalgia' category. Don't get me wrong, they were amazing and their initial work still is but they are either non-existent in modern day (Nirviana), undeserving of their name (looking @ SP here, billy is a cunt and I feel everything post Adore has been a complete divorce from their roots and sounds like garbage) or haven't really ever reclaimed the heights of their initial greatness to my ears (NMH + Conor).

 

[Hystzen]

I'm impressed how many gaming sites are jumping on the Prince Harry quote about playing games trained his thumbs making him pilot choppers better. They also getting the complete wrong end of the stick with the quote also making it sound worse then it is


(could be my prince harry bias though)

Fuck it, if you're doing it, I get to too.

Radiohead
Tegan & Sara
The Shins
Jimmy Eat World
Death Cab for Cutie
Say Anything (essentially just for their early, angsty stuff and "Is A Real Boy". All the later stuff after In Defense of the Genre turns me off like genital warts)
Bright Eyes (I'm not cheating like Jedeye - just one band.)
Brand New
Sigur Rós
Jack's Mannequin/Something Corporate (OK, cheating a little - they're both Andrew McMahon bands)




I'd be incredibly up for a mixtape swap. If we're doing it with digital files, then we might as well just have a pool of them and all take everybody's?

I think custom artwork should be mandatory, just for the fuck of it.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Yeah that's a good idea. How would we exchange them?
Last time we did lists you started doing psychoanalysis shit on everyone. And I pissed Meadows off.

Last time we just zipped the MP3s up and stuck them on a filesharing site like dropbox or similar.

And learning about an individual through their mixtapes is half the fun I already feel I know a great deal about Subliminal and Charmicarmicat from their mixes last time.

And y'all can analyse me as much as you like, I won't get upset. Much.

Also on a related note to the WiiU stuff I love when GAF goes crazy over a Japanese game with a utterly long winded title, the image of someone saying it out loud with enthusiasm amuses me. I'm sure there's a scene in the Simpsons like this.
