oh wow, the new common album really does sound like a toned down yeezus album, production wise. Interesting direction.

I got to the level cap and pretty much stopped playing. There isn't much variety in the beta. If the full game has that problem I'll be pretty disappointed.

Digable Planets? Daft Punk? Whatever could this mean?
Dick sucking contests sound more gross than anything. This is good wholesome fun.
blog I like was talking up some ATL rapper named Raury and a search said he just got this song in Besson's Lucy:
god's whisper
It's pretty terrible, making me think of a super shitty cuddy going over a lumineers song. of the other two songs sunshine has a bad chorus and mediocre beat but his verse is ok on a "look at me I'm seriously very a rapper" kick and cigarette song's giving me ricky martin vibes? Anyway this is all bad but I'm posting because I could also see it becoming popular
woah this is an awesome video.

Enzos post was me first playing it.
Cudders post is me after playing it.
Bullet sponge bosses do nothing for me, not feeling the multiplayer either. I'll pick it up on sale because the Co op is a blast
I loved multiplayer but I completely agree that the sponges are really lame to "battle"
Don't have a problem with bullet sponges really, unless they're not scaled to co-op or something (I mostly played solo, never got into an instance with others). I think the AI is pretty damn good. It's Bungie AI, which is pretty much best in the biz for FPS. I've yet to come across a boss that was anywhere near as bad as say a General RAAM or I couldn't dispatch in under a minute, doesn't really qualify as a bullet sponge for me.
My main complaint is that every mission seems to have the same structure. End with defending waves + high HP enemy, etc. Enemy respawns are finnicky as well, and I don't know why they keep spawning you in the same place every time you hit the planet surface (this creates a part of that repetitive feeling). Objectives are nicely varied though, I can't really think of many other objective types that could fit the context of the game without being repetitive in themselves (i.e. transporting crates or something).
I just find it remarkable how they managed to translate what is effectively Halo's weapon system (standard, special, power weapons) into Multiplayer via ammo and still allow variability via the loot system. But it doesn't feel like Halo or CoD, because it's primarily resource-based, as you have to manage super and grenade cooldowns on top of everything else that's in Halo (ammo/weap/vehicle spawns). I was really afraid going in, but they put method to the madness.
EDIT: Loot needs to be more visible and clear as well like Borderlands. Borderlands solved this problem in BL2, not sure why they didn't learn.
Niko Is is an Orlando-based Brazilian-Argentinian emcee who is currently affiliated with Talib Kweli, although their styles couldn't be further apart. His music features Brazilian sample heavy fast-paced beats and a rap style that is a conundrum of boastful self exultance with little tidbits of social poignance and glimpses of his personal life spread throughout.
Every single track on this album showcases the emcee spitting his lungs out. The words,"Damn he spitting!" popped into my head all throughout the project. He kind of sounds like a lot of people, but ultimately any one comparison just comes up short for accurately pinpointing his style. His flow is somewhat reminiscent of Chance the Rapper, but his slight rasp and subject matter makes him sound so much more grimey, though he does have a similar cadence.
I think the coolest thing about this dude is that he really isn't trying to be like anyone else, his influences are a melting pot, it's hard to discern just one at any given time. I heard some off-kilter rhyme schemes during a section of one of his tracks that reminded me of ODB, but even still there was only a slight resemblance. Anyway enough words ya'll need to check this out for yourselves.

I've been on a Drake binge all day now. His music has a really good vibe to it that I don't think any of the artists that imitate him have successfully replicated.
It's a shame that Nothing Was the Same was kinda disappointing compared to Take Care.

Enzo I was talking have about the strike mission. I won't detail it buy when you play it youll understand my bullet sponge comment.
Ace needs to come bless us with a couple ignant mixes. Whatever happened with his mixtape?

I actually think Nothing Was The Same is the best thing he's put out...Take Care was good though
Was randomly playing Original Sin today and I was faffing about randomly in a healer's house. Faced with the choice of saving one of two injured men with a special stone from the north of the country, I picked the younger one. The stone exploded, sent my party to the outskirts of time and space where I met several physical manifestations of processes of the universe and a nexus hub with awesome, individually themed dungeons based on the elements. I had no idea any of this shit was going to happen when I walked into that house.

Damn listening to Take Care reminds me of the massive shitstorm on KTT when it first came out about whether or not it was better than MBDTF.
i've reached a point where I have to actively resist listening to alex g cause I feel like I've played him way too much lately. normally I'll get tired of an artist when I'm playing them this frequently and take a long break, but that's not happening here
ooh, definitely grabbing. Only South American music I've even slightly peeked is from Colombia but the bands from there that I've listened to (las malas amistades, ondatropica) are fantastic.

So Far Gone makes me really nostalgic for the winter of 2008/2009, such a chill and dark mixtape.

If anybody is wondering I have already recycle binned a few albums from my huge list:
GQ - Rated Oakland, incredible sub shattering production, but it featured a sloth as a rapper who talks a lot about swag but has no charisma (Light 5)
Mike Stud - Closer, I saw someone on KTT hyping this album, and now I think he was trolling me. Shit sounds like bro-step rap. (Light 3)
Lil Durk - Signed to the Streets 2, People usually mention Durk as one of the few members of the drill scene that can actually rap, if you hear someone say that never listen to that person again. He even brings in autotone to transform his shit voice into a robotic sounding shit voice. (Strong 4)
Chris Rivers - Wonderlands of Misery 2, he sound exactly like a weird mix of Vinnie Paz and Big Pun (his father), and though it sounds good on paper it doesn't sound good on stereo. He also doesn't have a knack for making hooks nor coming up with any quotables.(Light 6)

The Dreamer/The Believer came off as a little too safe for me so I hope this album goes in a more interesting direction.

Dreamer was completely forgettable. Solid and I think it had a track or two I remember liking, but forgettable.
I've heard worse. At least he was trying something different!

Reading stories like this in regards wrpgs always excites me and then when I play them I get bored really quickly. Though I think divinity and it's coop mode may keep me engaged longer.
Actually, I think based on your previous comments about games in general I think you'd like it. Presentation and story are decent but they take a big big backseat to exploration, environment-dependent combat and quest solving. Pretty much goes all in on those and benefits from it. No hand holding. You have to pay attention quite a bit to progress. It's pretty awesome if you have the right mix of characters.

I'm really intrigued by the idea of a huge city/quest hub. I'm mainly an ARPG guy (Path of Exile, Diablo, etc) and one of my biggest gripes about the genre is the lack of a big ass city where you can chill, get quests, buy stuff, etc. Instead they tend to have little towns or camps where you get a quest from the blacksmith or the old man or a woman whose husband went missing. I long for cities like in WoW. Or more recently Skyrim, which I started playing last month.
Divinity definitely looks dope to me for this reason, among others. Alas between Skyrim, work, and Path of Exile (which has an expansion coming out next month) I know I won't have time to delve into it.

I bought this at a flea market last year and I have yet to give it a listen. I guess I should get to it lol.
Finally decided to give this a listen after hearing people shit on it my whole life, and I thought it was pretty awesome. It's like if Hendrix or the Doors made a hip-hop album, and Common is on point lyrically
