But Hurricane Erica was a Tropical Storm then fizzled out.
-HOW DARE YOU! How dare you not cater to my tastes exactly?
HOW DARE YOU acknowledge other people in the world?
HOW DARE YOU HAMDIX for not making the soundtrack be exclusively
Avenged Sevenfold and Dragonforce? What's with all this obscure hipster
bullshit like "The Who" and "Elvis Presley"?
HOW DARE YOU call me a faggot online! I'm not gay, I fucked your mom! You're the faggot!
HOW DARE YOU say "Black Lives Matter"! I'm not black, arer you saying
my life doesn't matter even though white people are treated with way
more respect in diginity in similar situations?
HOW DARE YOU cut
in front of me in line you old hag? You're like 90, you can fucking wait
like 20 minutes for me to argue with the cashier over a coupon.
-Mystakin's back, so cast your Five Cost Starving Buzzard and get
ready to speedrun through this podcast with your backup strats.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, it seems like a
neat little unlocking thing, but is seems to set up a bad precendent,
especially with the Amiibo scarcity. But I can see them doing somethng
where you can buy the related DLC for the same price since it unlocks
stuff among different games/systems.
-Super Mario Maker/Kaizo Mario is what happens when a Game Designer
actively hates you and wants to hide in the bushes while you play and
giggle at your failure. Most game deves passively hate you where it's
like "Eh, we could fix this, but nah" Kaizo Mario is a 72 oz, Steak Challenge of a game, only two minutes in you realize you suck at eating. Kaizo Mario is the "let's make smaller paddles!" bit from That 70's Show.
-The Consuming Shadow, while not game of the year material is still a
refreshing game, in that it goes hard on one thing (puzzle
solving/logic puzzle) while being part of another (survival horror).
What TCS reminded me the most of was this logic puzzle:
Albert Einstein once posed a brain teaser that he predicted only
2% of the worlds population would be able to solve.
FACTS:
1. There are 5 houses in 5 different colours.
2. In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
3. These 5 owners drink a certain beverage, smoke a certain brand
of cigarette and keep a certain pet.
4. No owners have the same pet, brand of cigaratte, or drink.
CLUES:
1. The Brit lives in a red house
2. The Swede keeps a dog
3. The Dane drinks tea
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The green house owner drinks coffee.
6. The person who smokes Pall Mall keeps birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
8. The man living in the house right in the center drinks milk
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10. The man who smokes Blend lives next to the one who keeps cats
11. The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
12. The owner who smokes Camel drinks beer
13. The German smokes Marlborough.
14. The Norwegian lives next to the blue house
15. The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.
The question is, who keeps the fish?
See if you can answer it in the comments!
Now, back to the main course:
-I'M MOVING?
Wait what?
-YEAH, I'M MOVING
So naturally this is going to throw a wrench in things as far as music goes (as if my normal schedule is anything to go by), so it is doubtful I'll make Umicon, as we're getting the keys late and all my stuff is in constant flux.
-NOOO!!!
That doesn't mean it's all bad, I'll just be grounded for a little bit and probably miss posting after Friday. Tomorrow's Labor Day, so I'm going to try and make a couple videos before the "real" fun starts.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THE MEANTIME? Watch me at Orlando Nerd Fest:
Play Until Dawn
-No, seriously, it's like a AAA horror game starring Agent Ward, The Cheerleader and Mr. Robot that took a look at the Telltale Game's version of The Walking Dead and went "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED MOTHERFUCKER". Even watching through LPs is fun because so far no two people have played the game quite the same.
Kickstart Status Quo Radio
-Because You Know you want to... Watch The Back Half of RPG Limit Break
-It's a speedrunning marathon for the mainline Final Fantasy Games. It's interesting to see how something that's meant to be grindy and epic be speed-ran over the course of this Labor Day weekend, but they seem to make quick work of these games, with the longest game being FFX clocking in at 10 and a half hours.

"It's a 72-oz Steak Challenge of a game"- Rhythm Bastard
It has been the hottest game to Let's Play on the YouTubes, and it's
quite the thing. It's like a Five Nights at Freddy's or P.T. where it
sets up this atmosphere where nothing can be predicted or taken for
granted, then disappears into the ether. It's not meant to be played,
it's meant to be experienced.
Granted if it cost money, there would be no value in playing it.
Unlike P.T. and FNAF, there's no challenge to keep you going, it's just a
walk through this bizarre adventure. It does take me back to the days
of "NO MY UNCLE WORKS FOR NINTENDO AND IT'S REAL"
-In this podcast, we ponder how Transformers work.
Yeah, so apparently, Transformers do need some kind of fuel. From the, ugh, Transformers Wiki:
Unlike humans who need air and water as well as food, generally the
Transformer's only major need to assure their continued functioning is
fuel (though again, even this can vary depending on the fiction).
-As promised, a cover of "Panama by Reggie Watts. While it threw a
lot of people off, it's very creative. Reggie Watts puts a looper to
good use, and it's interesting to see how another genre of music is
played as he builds the track line by line.
-Hackers, Hackers, Hackers. Looking back, it's quaint, really. It
takes place in this weird world where grownups are both absolutely
clueless about computers while simultaneously being mega geniuses.
Hacking is both a long and complicated process where system have to be
broken down and rearranged carefully over a long period of time, and a
bullshit video game that can be cracked with typing really fast.
Passwords can be obtained through the very real and regularly used
method of "social engioneering" which is nerdspeak for "lying" and at
the same time guessing "GOD" because Matthew Lillard said so.
While the ruse of "Live From The Gravel Pit" and its sister program lasted for a very long time, and still continues to this day, some individuals liked to get their entertainment elsewhere from smaller clubs that didn't cater either of the big two sponsors.
These kinds of clubs are ignored for the most part, however once they start getting popular, they don't last long, due to "changes in zoning laws", "noise complaints" and "spontaneous combustion". Afterwards, these clubs were purchased by a wealthy corporate sponsor, the acts signed to multi-year record deals, and the sponsors used both for maximum profitability.
Some clubs, through guile and secrecy, manage to stay in business unscathed, one of which being The Royal Cow.
Started by the Cinder family in 1965, after moving to the area from Kansas City, it was originally a sports bar, and did pretty OK business even though the name of the bar is a veiled reference to the Kansas City Royals. Their daughter, May, found some college friends to jam out with on occasion on slower nights, though she still learned to help her parents run the business. She also invited small bands from her university to play as well, but was under constant persuasion by her family to stop so they could keep control of the bar.
After her father fell ill and her and her mother had more control, they renovated the bar to add a secret room in the back that, according to the city is used for "storage", but is really used as a stage.
It's flown under the radar due to clever soundproofing, secret codes, and a couple bodies hidden under the floor boards. Primarily, though, the club remains untouched as it sits in between large office buildings, belonging to two rival corporations, so who have decided it more profitable to leave the small property well enough alone, instead of spending resources trying to acquire it.
