i'm indifferent, does this make me half human

(i wouldn't know where to begin, link me to a song and i'll listen to it)

What's this Tommy Heavenly song? Starts at about the 50 minute mark.

It's a really pretty game. And I like the explosion effects. And it's waaaaay too silly to be offensive.

e: 100% with Jeff, Heavenly doesn't do it for me like February does

e2: except maybe this song which I like almost as much as any February song

I like a couple of songs from DIStopping, but yeah. They lost their original feel about as quickly as they could manage.

Also they seem to have deleted the old George "music video" from their Youtube channel.

Still on Niconico, though!

Magicka is like Trine to me. Where it was cool the first time, but was anyone dying for a sequel? Especially when the main thing of those was the unique mechanic?

totally, although magicka always felt more sound to me, mechanically

don't wanna play more of either series, in any case

I liked Jeff's impressions on the game on the latest Bombcast, calling the protagonist "Glenn Danzig with a goatee" etc.

Aww, I liked DIStopping way more than Ai Ai, but I also like that modern sound more. Their song with Tempura Kidz is God-tier. They've got a major debut album coming out Ina few months, I think.

I... wha? Huh. Didn't realize there were people who didn't like DIStopping. I thought it was actually better than the first album; in fact it was my favorite album of 2014. And even though the most recent single didn't do much for me, their second most recent single ("tongari young") is one of my favorite tracks they've released so far. I'm eagerly awaiting their new mini album later this summer.

To each their own, I suppose. Although they did just sign with a major label, so I'm guessing I'm not the only person who still thinks they're great. So, uh, take that, I guess?

I put DIStopping in my top 10 even though it was also a crushing disappointment. a couple of those songs are still pretty good though.

bleh

Thanks. At first, I youtubed the song and was wondering what the hell you were listening to, but then I kept listening and it eventually switched up.

Not a fan of that song? I find it pretty catchy, even the halloweenish part.

So you're saying it was the Destiny of your top ten music list?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

They said enough on the Bombcast.

dude I have all of her albums but February is just like three degrees more awesome than Heavenly to me. but my bias towards good electropop is not new news.

even that most recent album was killer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTTmYLMgyPU

she was 38 in that video. I love her so much it hurts

So you're saying it was the Destiny of your top ten music list?

basically. and like Destiny, once I put it away and stopped trying to deal with it, my quality of life improved.

Exactly. The first one was a fun thing to mess around with but I had my fill back then, no real reason to go back for more.

 

[StopMakingSense]

but LA is literally a butthole of a city. I live in San Francisco, it used to be great, but at least and I take solace in this knowledge. At least it isn't LA.

Man the unrequited salt toward LA from the Bay Area is so strong.

LA is an absolutely fabulous place to live and work. It is an absolutely terrible place to visit, unless you have a native taking you around.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I've lived in California my whole life between Northern and Southern. LA is fine. Hell, I like LA. But when I say 'LA' in this context, as many do, I actually mean Valencia/Santa Clarita.

LA city limits is a hellish landscape, but who goes to downtown LA but monsters anyway?

[EDIT] Ok not my whole life, I moved to Texas late last year.

I'm with you on Destiny, at least.

I dont know if I should be surprised that Dan asked or that Jose Canseco actually replied to him.

I imagine if that even looked like it might happen, Jeff would shut it down immediately.

 

[Volotaire]

So I did not know Jose's relevance as a celebrity (it makes sense since he participates in American sports) but it highlights Dan's incredible access to celebrities.

In May 2013, Jose Canseco provided the foreword to the novel Air Force Gator 2: Scales of Justice by Dan Ryckert.[38] In it, he claims the book about the alcoholic alligator pilot is a "weakly veiled" metaphor for his own life.[39]

.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Someone needs to go deep and try to find the video of Jeff rapping in the style of how a Japanese rapper would rap in English. Shit had me dying.

 

[stump sock]

I think a lot of the dumb reference humor in the Magicka games kind of sucks but "tiny enemy crab" kind of cracked me up

 

[Antiwhippy]

I wouldn't say access. More like constant harassment in Canesco's case.

 

[Archaix]

.

I am pretty sure that all came from Dan antagonizing Canseco on twitter, not having any sort of direct access.

Starting your game with an All your base are belong to us reference is... something.

I just don't understand why Dan brought up Dracula. Was he insinuating that Vlad is a vampire? Because if there's one thing I learned from Magicka it's that Vlad most definitely isn't a vampire.

Maybe he's talking about Vlad from MGS

 

[Megasoum]

Hey guys, I managed to use Tom Arnold's character from True Lies to make a point in a discussion I had with my bosses earlier.

Today was a good day

 

[tchocky]

I haven't watched the video or played Magicka but is it not because Dracula was inspired by Vlad the Impaler.

 

[TraBuch]

True Lies was a pretty cool movie.

If Jose wasn't such an asshat, i'd almost feel bad for him

 

[Piston Hyundai]

True Lies was a pretty cool movie.

Does anyone get shot right between their eyes, like Biggie Smalls says?

 

[santeesioux]

I want to see Leigh Alexander join the E3 stuff just because I like very uncomfortable interviews like Opie and Anthony would do with guests like Steve the whistler before Anthony went full on insane.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Dear lord. They're doing a Hatred Quick Look later today. 6PM Eastern/3PM Pacific. Their first AO rated quick look?

 

[Mowki Kowski]

Huh. I didn't think they'd cover that game in any legitimate capacity.

 

[santeesioux]

I figured at most it would be on UPF for a few minutes, like "here's a thing that exists".

 

[Myggen]

Huh. I didn't think they'd cover that game in any legitimate capacity.

They talked about impressions of the game on the Bombcast, might as well show people what it actually is. GS' video made it look like a wet fart of a game.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

If you want to save time from watching that video, basically it's not even that great of a Postal ripoff.

 

[TraBuch]

But then you'd miss some funny moments, like every time the main character says something. And some legitimately good looking explosions.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Dear lord. They're doing a Hatred Quick Look later today. 6PM Eastern/3PM Pacific. Their first AO rated quick look?

they've played plenty of unrated games on PC.

Just most of them aren't stupid attention seeking games made to appeal to the angsty 12 year old boy who thinks columbine was a cool cool thing.

 

[Fox318]

From what I've seen of hatred I agree with jeff's opinion on it.

It just seems dumb.
