I just bought a bunch of Vonnegut and Heller. Gonna have some fun.

There are four degrees of separation between me and Alan Moore and me and Rob Reiner.

I saw Roky Erickson live about a year ago, so fucking great, and such an important figure in the history of rock music.

Not so much listening to as watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evA-R9OS-Vo
 

No longer a thin red line.



Like the movie, The Thin Red Line.


Oh, hey everybody, and check out this movie I worked on, Take Shelter.

I was just thinking how area 51 exists as a restricted are and the guards there can use lethal force and will confiscate all your stuff if you go there but people still say that its all fake. They say "Well if its a conspiracy then people wouldn't know that much about it! Hah! DERP DERPADERP!!!" And that really bugs me. Also 9/11. Two planes hit two towers, but three towers fell down at free fall speed with no side effects of the claimed "pancake theory". Also, the official report says that the plane that his the pentagon Evaporated...

SRSLY!? WTF!?

My favorite thing about conspiracy theories are how naive the worldview they come from is, and yet how enlightened those who preach them proclaim them to be.

I also have no idea how anyone today can not know any non-gamers. Unless you're counting the game of life...

I never said gamer and looking back I realized I made a typo. I meant to say that everyone I know has played at least one videogame (Yes, that includes iPhone games). I don't know many gamers, I don't consider myself one, and the ones I do know are not pleasant people. My point was that there is no longer a line between gamers and non-gamers, and that Scott Pilgrim wasn't supposed to be for a select demographic known as gamers. I went expecting a comedy, because I enjoy comedy in all shapes and sizes, and I got what I wanted. I wasn't expecting a vindication of "gamer-culture", and no one should have.

Literally every single person I know plays videogames.

You don't even know one non-gamer? Wow. Get a life. Make more friends. Meet other people. You'll find non-gamers real quick if you try. They're everywhere. The general managers and producers at EA don't play videogames, I should know because I worked with them.

Well, I also included board games, card games, games of chance, love games, head games, and the most dangerous game.




I saw Bridesmaids last night with a bunch of elderly people. I liked it.

what I mean is that videogames should be nerdy. Forcing overly stylized images of "cool" all over its face just makes it look like a slut.

Literally every single person I know plays videogames. Society changes, get the fuck used to it.

For obvious reasons.


Minutemen covers are generally fantastic.

This is an impossible pipe dream game: If a game with low-poly Sega Saturn graphics was made for current-gen or next-gen consoles you could conceivably set it on an entire planetary body, taking the phrase, "anywhere you see, you can go," to its logical extreme. And expansions would be moons.

All I can say is that the voice actor for Duke is atrocious... I wouldn't hire him for a high school drama production, let alone a videogame which is supposed to hinge on the personality of its main character...

Voice acting is a very misunderstood art and one couldn't say St. John lacks talent. Rather, the poor direction of the voice acting is what you should blame.

I strongly agree with you on all of those, except for Braunger who I have never seen.  Based on that, please link some good material by him!

I agree with the previously expressed sentiments that the new Radiohead is too short. It's really great though, and if there's a Part II I can't wait to hear it. I haven't been listening to a load of music lately, but something I've started listening to is the Comedy Death-Ray Radio Podcast, which is great if you're into standup.

Das Racist

I read about this rap group, Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, a bunch of teenagers from LA who jokingly rap about rape, Satan and serial killing. I was morbidly curious so I Googled them. And saw this. Fuck MC Lars, this is punk rap.

Also, I downloaded the new Radiohead album, but need to finish some work before I can listen to it.

Gonja Sufi, Screaming Females, Germs, Kylesa.

Among others already mentioned, Shadows of the Damned.
