  3. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    That's understandable.I love it because it's eclectic, choatic, noisy and busy. Also, growing up I was part of an online sub-culture that was nerdy--big into anime and everything else you listed--but wanted to strive our nerdy factor to have a "cool" and "artsy" and "punk". I think that's because we all came from different backgrounds. I was really into hardcore punk, noise, and black metal, so that reflected in my nerdy interests. Where there was a feeling of transgressive and occult like presentation to the material; kinda like what you saw in that video.

    There are. Walker starts off weak, but fully upgraded, you can dominate the field.
  5. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

    And this is why I'm not getting Quiet. I have D-Dog and Walker. A fully equipped Walker is all you'll ever need in the game and you won't need the rest of the buddies.

    I did it too. Kaz actually asks for animals to be fultoned. I fultoned some sheep. Adorable, oddly

    You're not out of date: as much as its gameplay changes, its tropes, quirks, and ticks stays the same. Kojima. Kojima never changes.

    Fucking Boston edge kids. I thought the edge kids in Cinny were rowdy, but some of the horror stories--plus that dumb FSU documentary--coming from the Boston HC scene. Great bands though.
