JAM OF THE WEEK: "To The Top" by Twin Shadow
Just put on some headphones, and let yourself fall into this song. I first heard it on Tales From The Borderlands Ep. 4 this weekend, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. The series has always had excellent taste in music, and while this may not fit the wild-west futurey setting of Borderlands, it really packed a punch when it was used. Episode 4 begins with your crew going into space, and the song is so good at bringing forth this sense of awe and makes you determined to get to the climax of this adventure.
Which is then subsided half an hour later by the most ridiculous sequence in a video game I've played.
Jeff: isn't it the Baba O' Reilly chords?
Shut up.
STATUS QUO STREAM: Tales From The Borderlands Ep. 4
The series continues to deliver, and revitalize the old "Teltale Genre Game". It manages to strike a balance between making me care about the decisions I'm making and keeping a light enough tone that I'm not wrecked by them as I was with Fables and The Walking Dead.

What is SUPERCON RETRO? It’s a throwback event to relive the vibe of
FLORIDA SUPERCON before it got so big. We’re returning to our old
building, the MACC (Miami Airport Convention Center), with a 3-Day RETRO
event, and we’ll handpick guests from TV & Movies, Anime, Cartoons,
Comics, and Cosplay who we know are super fun to hang out with.
THIS WEEK'S JAM: "Magic" by Mystery Skulls
Mystery Skulls's Forever was such a good album, it's like aural sex. Or at least, the kind of sex on a nice bed with clean silk sheets and surrounded by candles. The production was crisp, the instrumentation was lush and the singing sensual.
"Magic" happens to be one of those tracks that best exemplifies this. Nile Rodgers lays down a neat rhythm guitar and Brandy provides backup vocals. While her role is minimal, she is used a hell of a lot better than Janelle Monae in .fun's "We Are Young". Brandy adds that little something that takes me back to the house/R&B songs that were big in the 90's. It's a throwback jam.
I used this animatic music video because I thought the official one was kinda lame. This one obviously took some inspiration from the animated "Ghost" music video, but that's not a mark against it at all. It's rough and janky, but it manages to tell a more powerful story then "metal people fuck and make a galaxy" like the original.
GP ORLANDO RECAP
Went 4-4 after a HELL of a fight back. Ended up going with an RG Energy Deck, the only good card I pulled was an Ajani, Unyielding. It was a relief to not have to sort everything out and just show up and play. REALLY convienient! Round 1, lost to a stupid misplay. Round 2, lost to a beatdown deck.
Rounds 3-6, I was on a hot streak, pulling out all the stops, and BARELY scraping by in some matches.
Round 7, I didn't get paired up because the system thought I dropped out. However, I was able to get a match where I was paired up against a NUTS deck. Round 8. same deal.
Got some cards signed, realized that not even Eric Deschamps knows
what's going on Ral Zarek's outfit, made a shitton of money selling off
cards, and I got some new toys for my Modern Deck.
SUPERCON RETRO!
I'm playing not one but TWO shows that weekend!

More details to come! I just had a conversation with the production crew, and they seem like they're 100% on point, so I'm looking forward to that!
THIS WEEK'S JAM: "Scenario" by A Tribe Called Quest
"Why this song?" you ask. Well, ever since Harmonix showed off their recently announced game DropMix, I became intrigued with some of the lesser known songs on the setlist.
I like the song, it's one of those raps from back in the day where 7 people had verses that went on forever, but can we talk about the music video here?
No, can we? Because this takes me back to something I'm even more familiar with: Multimedia CD-ROMs. Oh, all the CD Encyclopedias and barebones video editing programs I dicked around with in school! Looking back from 2017, there's nothing crazy going on here, but there's lots of little neat cues that bring it above "thing a 10-year-old can replicate now" WHATCHA PLAYIN?
All right, here we go: Not A Hero- A side scrolling shooter I got from Chrono.GG. I only paid 5 bux for it, which is my limit for something like this. While you might feel like it's a runner and gunner, it's more of a cover shooter, where it's best to slide from cover to cover, taking shots when you have the opportunity.
You play assassins who have been tasked with cleaning up crime in the city so that Bunnylord can be elected Mayor. Bunnylord is the purple guy in the middle there.
The humor both works and doesn't work for me? Bunnylord will say things like "Shooting bad guys in the face is totes awesome sauce" which is the kind of shit that belongs in a D-Tier Deadpool comic, but I never found myself hating it too much. Primarily because I imagine Bunnylord saying it straight faced in his alien, warbled language, and I'm down for that.
Not particularly interesting otherwise, wait for a sale.
Sentinels Of The Multiverse- Another game I got for 5 bucks, but this one is the digital version of the tabletop game of the same name, like Star Realms. It's barebones, relying on online multiplayer (which I haven't tried) and the weekly "one shots" that give you a different challenge to work through. There's also a lot of microtransactions for DLC with expansions for new heroes and new scenarios.
It can get pretty costly, but when you consider how expensive the base game is, at roughly $50 for all the expansions in a more accesible form is nothing to sneeze at.
