If you guys aren't careful we'll be invaded by popgaf and their irrelevant diva gifs.

As a fan of pop music I'd like to distance myself entirely from popgaf and the unneccesary level of praise over the wrong choice of singers, declaring of deities and inability to communicate without smarmy OH NO SHE DI-NT gifs

Is it still like that? It's still like that isn't it

Our daily art! BONUS EDITION

The amazing cover to Ziggy Stardust (in fact all of Bowie's 70s albums have amazing covers, especially Station to Station. The rest of them are some of the worst ever)

And my favouritest piece of art ever - The Large Glass or The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even by Marcel Duchamp. Duchamp generally is just incredible but I will limit it at this. Happy shitty Tuesday!

I recently decided to get the Modern English album with Melt With You on it. They were surprisingly decent, I always thought they were a one hit wonder.
On the rare occasion I got pissed off, why would I want to get more pissed off by listening to bad music?
An outlet for anger like anything else. I'll admit even I rarely listened to No Ca$h at the time. I listened to a ton of Choking Victim and Bad Religion though.

Every thread 'they' ever start or enter en masse is the same.

Ok first few games of Titanfall done.

First thoughts - ooh my it's fast and crazy. The 360 version seems to run fine to me. Looks like 60fps (well it's faster and smoother than Destiny anyway)

Really good! Heart pumping fast and doing well already!

Artsy fartsy stuff. Seeing that post ninj made me think of this image.

Couldn't find the original on his page but I have the full size thing somewhere on my computer.

I first saw it from an upload of Modeselektor - I Love You which is a tremendous song.

@Sploatee I was so excited for Titanfall for so long, played it for about a week and life happened and I drifted away from it. When I came back (PC) a couple weeks later the servers were dead. :(

I'm ashamed to admit that I've only started to listening David Bowie recently. I now recognise lot of songs from him that I didn't previously... but yeah, he owns.

The advert for it is certainly as annoying.

Did you ever see the 5 minute advert that pretends they're on a film shoot? I happened to see it as part of a cinema trailer- absolute dogshit. Not funny, not informative, you see at most 10 seconds of off-screen gameplay - I was just stunned that someone not only thought that it was a good idea but let it go on for five minutes.

That's a shame. I don't know how long it'll last me but it really makes an amazing first impression, doesn't it? It's all WHOOOOSH and BOOOOOOM!

I can do you a recommended listening list if you want!

Is that because of Metal Gear?

That's awesome. I don't know Art but I know what I like.

Absolutely. I imagine it's a nice change of gears from Souls. I hope the entertainment half life doesn't kick in for ya.

Ashes to Ashes and Heroes better be on there!

The Middle - Jimmy Eat World

Such a tune. I've been in a proper rock/pop-punk mode today, and I haven't got much work done, bar a logo I did this morning. Today has been dedicated to reading up on PHP, Ajax and MySQL. I figured I might branch out in to web design. But I'm reading shit like this...

...and I ain't a clue what any of it means. Fuck this.

Eek!

Edit - I changed my mind - I'd just say the whole of Lodger. Low and "Heroes" are more known but I always prefer Lodger.

But my favourite Bowie song was sung by Iggy Pop - Mass Production. It's so bleak! I love it. I just had a google of the lyrics. It's totally a heroin song, but it's just really churny and dramatic.

I've listened to a few of his albums already, but yeah sure.

Nope. I've been intending to listen to him for years. Just forced myself, and yeah he is a big cultural icon so it's hard not to miss him referenced somewhere!

See, this is what I need to learn.

Mate. Stop all of this reading malarkey.

Get yourself on a computer and start by actually designing shit. You'll hit a bump or two along the way but it's fairly easy to find solutions to these problems on Google. This is how I recommend you learn web design, I feel like it helps with retaining information. You'll read this book and then when it comes to applying it, you won't know where to start.

Wanna learn SQL? Get MySQL or PostgreSQL installed or something and start messing around with databases. Run queries, do joins, rip your hair out because you don't get joins.

Good luck.

Oh, Sploat. Iggy is an utter twat.

He's also one of my all-time favourite goddamn frontmen and lyricists. Raw Power is such an amazing record. Evy loves him too. Lust For Life gets her dancing. :D

Maturity, bitches.
I didn't really care for the PS4 20th anniversary edition (sorry chaps, but frankly it's ugly) but for £20 I wouldn't have complained.

But even such a bargain wouldn't convince me to go back outside in the cold.

I could live down 2 weeks of the flu for that. Shame I didn't notice the thread earlier.

I can believe it.

EDIT: To be a bit more constructive... you seem to talk about yourself a lot. Sometimes that is advantageous, other times indulgent. You can't please everybody!

I'm pretty close now.

You guys always take me for granted. Always take the piss. One day, you'll be sorry. It's better to make friends happy than piss off enemies.
