-The best way to describe the issue of Harmonix Employees posting reviews of their own game is "faux pax". It's embarassing, but in the long run, ultimately harmless. The "IT'S ABOUT ETHICS IN GAME JOURNALISM" crowd showed up a bit, but like we mentioned before, the issue died down within the day.
-YOU KIDS LIKE WEEEEEEEED? *smashes bong on floor* *glass shatters*
STONER COLD STEEEVE AUSTIN and vince is the DEA read my fanfiction here
-CORRECTION: Morning show DJs are more chill than these over the top doofiness of the Guitar Hero Live DJs. Elvis Duran making Dad jokes would be less groan worthy than this shit.
-Guitar Hero TV in general has everything I'd LOVE to see in Rock Band: Random songs playing in the background, and the ability to "rent" the entire DLC library. Main question is though: are the microtransactions working out for GHTV? Secondary question: How often and how many songs are they going to add to the DLC rotation. I remember in an interview the way their protocol is set up is that they can add a song once it gets popular on YouTube the same day.
-Girls and Boys Music Video:
Ah, 2000-era mall punk.
-Murder Burger
-Take ground beef, add Reese's Pieces, roll into a donut shape, and deep fry it. Add four patties, with a layer on bacon, egg and cheese on each. Shove a double down in between the second and third patty. Cover in marinara sauce.
So, for those chumps who don't know about Taskmaster, LEMME SSSSSSSPELL IT OUT FOR YOU!
Taskmaster is a villain within the Marvel Universe, typically hired as a mercenary. Blessed with the power of "photographic reflexes", he can imitate the movements of anyone he sees. He can throw his shield like Captian America, have the sick Kung Fu skills of Iron Fist, and can shoot arrow like Hawkeye. He then uses these skills to teach people how to be better henchmen so his pretty skull face doesn't get hurt.
In addition to that, he's also been known to use his skills for personal reasons (learning how to cook, play guitar, etc.) for macking on the fly honeys. So, he could have used his gift to be in a great rock n' roll band, or win dance competitions, but instead he's like "FUCK THAT NOISE, I'MA PUT ON TIGHTS AND BEAT UP SUPERHEROES"
-The missing songs from Pachabel Rant are: "Graduation" by Vitamin C "One Tin Soldier" by Coven "Hook" by Blues Traveler "Push" by Matchbox 20 "Good" by Better Than Ezra "With Or Without You" by U2 |"Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia "Sk8R Boi" by Avril Lavigne "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister
Remember when songs used to be one hit wonders?
Remember when songs used to be weird as fuuuuuuck?
Lady Gaga comes close I guess, but her songs are relatively normal in subject matter.
Game Day was today (short, went 1-2 with Atarka Red) and finishing up work on my Battle for Zendikar Song. Shot some footage for a long over due con recap and
HOLY SHIT DEL RIO'S AT HELL IN A CELL?
AND BEAT JOHN CENA?
Right, right, back on topic.
Now, a lot of my time is spent juggling different projects, delicately balancing between writing, streaming and practicing, and sometimes I have a lot of stuff backed up because I'm working on getting one thing started, because otherwise, I'll have nothing for the week. I have a whiteboard (it came with me in the move!) that's filled with different song ideas, a notebook slowly being filled with lyrics for future songs, and a To-Do list that never seems to dwindle.
It's paralyzing. Like, I have 7 tabs open, each with a different thing, and I can't commit to one. "Oh shit, I have to send an e-mail to this person, and I actually could be doing this but...and so on. For example, right now I'm editing a e-mail to send in one window, finishing up this, putting together my desk, trying to write guitar parts for one song AND putting up Status Quo Radio on Youtube.
I get stuck in these patterns where I don't have the time to finish one thing, so I half start others.
HOLY SHIT BROCK LESNAR BEAT TAKER? AND NOW THE WYATT FAM-
See what I mean? So here's the plan for this week:
1. New Con Recap Video
2. New SONG video
3. Status Quo Radio on YouTube
4. Podcast Recap for Echo Chamber
5. Reposting "Slayers of Decadence"
-So we talked about Millenial Stuff later, and I'm going to bring this up at the beginning of the article: Don't let old men yelling at clouds get you down. What will make the old generation even more angry is if we persevere.
Here's the thing that scares boomers the most: When our generation comes to power, we'll have to undo the mess they made, and it will almost be like they never existed.
So share, clean up the environment and question the status quo.
Every time you take a selfie of you twerking on fleek for your bae, this happens:
-Going back to the top of the podcast. A Flavor House Atlantic would have the following items on the menu: Blood Red Steakmer Welcome Homefries Ten Wings (Of Gods Blood And Burial) The Wishing Well of Beer (Unlimited Beer for only $15!) Junesong Provolone Grilled Cheese Sandwich In The Flame of Burger Neverender Nachos Elf Tower New Mexican Tacos
However from the descriptions, it seems that Last Year seems to be taking more of its cues from Evolve with different characters as different classes, where as the 13th, will be more on just surviving.
-The Angry Video Game Nerd has certainly mellowed out since the early days, with James Rolfe moving away from the character. However, the reason why the original AVGN managed to survive as opposed to all the Johnny-Come-Latelys and the PISSED OFF GAMESMASHERS of the world is that his love of making movies shines through. Like look at this:
So all the rip-off AVGNs and Zero Punctuations is that, really, without the anger and the funny curse words, they don't have anything to say. Words come of their mouth, but there's no passion behind any of it, it's just bitching.
-Game Grumps Mickeymousecapades aka DANNY SEXBANG LOSES IT:
And that led us to Douchebag Youtube, which is white guys sitting in front of stuff bitching about feminism and black people or whatever.
-That is the polar opposite of Black Vine, seen here:
-Nobody knows what Fuckboy is. I'm not going to parse what it means because all I remember is the meme with the skeleton saying Engarde Fuckboy. I can't find it so I can only assume Fuckboys are people without skeletons.
-Mark Mothersbaugh's Soundtrack Listing. Some notable examples: Rugrats Theme Rocket Power Theme Pee-Wee's Playhouse Theme Super Mario World Cartoon Theme Beakman's World Theme Dumb and Dumber Crash Bandicoot Series Regular Show Jax and Daxter Series
-Last but not least, I'm really sorry Jeff, this is the meatball sub incident:
A couple years ago I was part of a DnD group with some friends and it was fun, but then once I played a game of Eclipse Phase with Ryan, I had to get good at improv and role playing, and it's a weird space to get into, especially when there's so much riding on the face that dice rolls need to come out a certain way, but then again, that's where Rag-Nerd-Rok showed me some next level GMing. A good GM will let you fail. A good GM has a plan for if and when you fail. A good GM will not let you fail.
It's midnight Sunday when I wrote this so I have content for the rest of the week, but you get my drift.
The FATE system has a lot of back and forth to it, and makes for a cinematic style of play, where you have to occupy this odd headspace between what your character would do and what you would do as a third party watching it on a movie screen like so many horror movie buffs yelling "Don't go in there!".
So, question, when Part 2 comes up, should it be its own thing, or should I lump it in with the podcast recaps?
