Apollo 18 was my favorite for a long time, especially listening on shuffle to give Fingertips the intended playback method. But a few years ago I really got into Factory Showroom thanks to my partner. That album is has a lot of really solid songs that showcase the range of their songwriting skills.
Also, streaming services forcing Fingertips to be a single track has made listening to Apollo 18 way less fun.
Hard disagree. You just need to play it long enough for the Stockholm syndrome to kick in. Once it has its claws in you, you can’t stop playing it. Trying to figure out what makes this garbage puzzle box tick.
My current car is named Lizzie, after Tin Lizzie, despite the fact that it’s in great shape. The first car I had was a rusted out ‘93 Impreza we called Tin Lizzie. So when I got my newest car and the license plate started with LZZ, I took it as a sign to bring the name back.
Superman: The New Superman Adventures (AKA Superman 64). It’s a baffling time capsule of poor management, crunched game development, and lack of coherent vision (mostly due to the management thing). Is flying through the rings tough? Yup. Do the missions make no sense? Yup. Is there a charm in firing it up and remembering to be grateful you’ve lived to yet another day where you can play Superman 64? Yup.
Listen to your heart. No.
With how the past few Paradox releases have been, it’s hard to get excited about anything they’re promoting these days.
But do you practice trumpet every day?
I’m so torn on this comment, because Christmas Wrapping is great, but so is Wonderful Christmastime.
I think this is a problem with any sequel to a game that features multiple biomes as locations. Metroid Prime had a lot of distinct locations: a volcano, an icy ruins, abandoned villages and temples, a crashed ship/underwater section, etc. So if when making a sequel, you have to consider if reusing these types of areas will make it feel too much like the original.
I do agree that the environment of Metroid Prime 2 is kind of bland, but there are at least some distinct parts I can remember, like the swampier area, or the dessert. I prefer that to every game being a march through the same cookie cutter areas every time.
My brother always likes to say “Remember, it’s All Wheel Drive, not All Wheel Stop” when reminding people about driving in the snow.
Now have at you!
I am a huge cheekfreak, I got to see them in the spring. It was an awesome show. There’s definitely a connection between TMBG and Cheekface. (And that’s not just because of the Ana Ng cover.)
Cherkface shows a bunch of different influences. Some TMBG, some Talking Heads, some CAKE, and other things. I strongly suggest listening to basically everything they’ve released just to appreciate the lyrics. Some of the lines are weird jokes that only click after you’ve heard them a few times.
