Highly interesting blog with some great points. You're right about the word being thrown about much like the word racist. It's a way of shutting down any chance of your being right in an argument. You will always be the bad guy,literally! I think women objectify men at times as well. I would use as an example the covers of most romance novels. Nothing wrong with it,that's just marketing to your core audience. I don't think any man finds it offensive. But what if dudes were into reading romance novels from the other perspective. And they had buxom young lasses having their way with men on the cover. I think some women would have an issue with that. When it comes to Japan and it's values I will say this. I love anime and manga. But some of it makes me feel guilty to even look at it. I feel so pervy it's unreal! Then I realize that grown men in Japan are into it. In a big way,too. I don't judge men who like hentai,I feel it's sort of silly to. Just not my thing. Like you said,just a bunch of pixels or lines. I do think it has an adverse effect on how those men interact with women,though.By the way,nice job on the drawing. You have some skills in that department.

It was one of those games that slipped under the radar of most folks. Really odd and unusual for it's day. Lots of copies of it floating around. Always turns up at Vintage Stock when I am in there.

Glad you liked those songs. The Maiden one is from Abbey Road Live. That was one of the best performances of the song I've ever seem them do. And M83 is a group I only discovered a few months ago. Their songs are really varied. Some are very uptempo,almost dance music. Others are more like classical at times. I have a ton of their stuff in iTunes.

Great songs! I especially liked Flashlight Brown and that Jello Biafra clip. I dig everything he does,that guy is cool. Those dancing nerds in the Blenderhead clip are funny! They were really getting into it. The Transit song is amazing. Proof you can be punk even if you sing well and are good with your instruments. It's more of an attitude than anything else I feel.

You know Tiger would do it! How could he resist Hayden? In a heartbeat is how fast he would......well,you know! That is one Sonic game I've never played before. I have all the others you mentioned. Like them a lot.I think they did a pretty decent job on the sound effects in COD;BO2 but they do sound similar at times on gunfire. Evironmental sounds are just incredible. Like the music today,especially Interpol. Eagle Eye Cherry is just a smooth dude. Like the guitar sound on that song. 

Love the music you put up today. I've always liked Megadeth. And Orion is just superb. You mentioned Cliff and it made me remember the first time I saw Metallica play. It was way back when they released Ride The Lightning.  They played Cain's and blew the roof off it. Two hours! I even got to chat with Kirk Hammett for a few minutes. He spoke with my friend and I during Cliff's bass solo. Very nice fellow,he was. Thanks for more Macklemore!   Like that one,too. I really want to see 7 psychopaths. What a great cast. Can't go wrong with Walken and Sam Rockwell in a movie.

I used an image from the new Gears Of War game in my blog today. But I hear it's just more of the same. Oh,Cliffy B! Why have you forsaken us? Hope that guy returns to do some amazing work. He just needed a break I suppose. 

I know how you feel on the whole game funk issue. I often look at my collection but with a different feeling. Seems like I have way too many games I haven't finished. I try to maintain a balance between work and play. With my Vita I sometimes mix the two. Playing while awaiting x-ray results. So games pile up on me.  It frustrates me at times.  I'm so into gaming culture and news that keeps me fresh. Switch off systems so I don't feel stale. But I had to take a break a time or two. Didn't last but a week! Guess it's just a part of me.

Check out those guns! She's taking all of us to the gun show. Can steroids make your legs shrink? Hers are so tiny.

You picked the best looking 3DS. I have the same color one. I'm holding off on Wii U for now. But I know I'll get one eventually. I rushed out and bought a Vita,and look where that got me! Not enough good games,but I don't regret it. The Epic Mickey Castle Of Illusion game sounds awesome. That one I think I will get.
