Chaos

Fresh, MattOPersonaliT. I literally am at the very beginning. I struggled beating Knuckledragger. The only reason I finally beat him was because he got his fist stuck in the ice and all he could do was throw at me.

Why are you apologizing, man? We have a standard open invite for DVDVR dudes to jump into our party, even if it is just to say, "Whaddap?" I knew that. I just knew it was kind of awkward because I kind of went "what's up, guys" a couple times before I realized that "I don't think my headset works."

This is a reminder that I need to pick back up playing the first game. J.T. and Rippa, I am sorry to randomly hop in on your party session the other night. I think my headset wasn't working. I was starting Borderlands 2 and was seeking guidance.

Zero claims another victim. I think my save game for this on my Xbox is still stuck at this mission. I think that's part of the reason why I never played it again. I am on this mission and the mission where you have to drive for fucking ever to take pictures of I forget the guys that betray you. I guess I'm probably best off just replaying this game from the beginning eventually.

I got in some quality time with GTA IV this weekend. I guess I finally finished Act I: I forgot how much I really despised chase/follow and stalk missions. I also am not sure that I have had an insanely fun mission yet in this game. Granted, I vaguely remember the parts I played two year sago.

What did you decide to reset the date to submit? I could turn in a '90s list, but I have not watched much in preparation (I have not watched much film at all the last year or so), and I know my list would be drastically different if I watched stuff that I've missed.

Very much disagree with this (though Stay On My Side Tonight is very overlooked). Futures could be considered that, but was also a lot harder over-all than Bleed American. I thought Chase This Light was a direct continuation of that as well and probably the least of the three albums following Bleed American to try and sound like Bleed American. Invented, I think you could make a case for trying to copy Bleed American, but in my opinion again, a lot harder and more diverse. Bleed American, to me, is a great power pop album with two or three hard alt-rock songs (Sweetness, Bleed American, and perchance Get It Faster). Futures, Chase This Light, and Invented are all very much alt-rock/90s emo/whatever albums that may have one or two power pop songs on them (Work, Coffee & Cigarettes, etc). There is no song that has come close to The Middle in terms of writing and I don't think they have tried writing another one. I do think they have tried writing a new "Hear You Me" like four times though. I probably like Futures more than Bleed American. "23" is just a really good attempt at an epic from the band. I also adore "Stay on my Side Tonight." "Disintegration" might be my favorite Jimmy Eat World song. I have not been huge fans of their last few albums and have genuinely ignored "Damage." The only song that I really cared for off Invented was "Coffee and Cigarettes" and the acoustic bonus version was the stronger effort for that. I also really liked the cover of "You and I" that came as a bonus track.

I don't feel like this is worth starting a thread over just yet. Is PWG worth following these days? I was thinking about grabbing some clearance DVDs from ROH's sale and saw they started carrying PWG shows, so I was thinking of either getting the final show of 2012 (Mystery Vortex) or the first show of 2013 (DDT4 2013). From a "buy their stuff" standpoint, they seem like a fairly inexpensive promotion to follow. roughly 12 shows a year for $15 a piece isn't awful.

I doubt there's too many people that care for John Mayer around these parts, but I really love "Continuum" as an album. With that said, I do not know if there is a more awful, out of place song on a good record than "Waiting on the World to Change." It just doesn't fit with the album for me. I normally start the album on "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)"

Please don't remind me that the dark days are about to be upon my sports radio airwaves in a couple weeks.I have enjoyed Paul's sabbatical from talk radio... because it means I haven't had my IQ lowered by five minutes of his show.

I don't know where this belongs, but this series is a critical part of my tween-teen-early adult years, so I am going to have to let out a big Vader NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! to this: http://www.pastapadre.com/2013/07/17/ncaa-not-renewing-contract-with-ea-sports-may-bring-an-end-to-college-video-games
