Your ability to learn so many languages never ceases to impress me. Have fun in Belgium! That's awesome.

This list per day thing isn't a bad idea.

Maybe Youtube's 1080p isn't true 1080p? It still looks great to me on my laptop/TV, though, so I can't complain. It does make the video take longer to load, though.

Holy crap, I just realized Minish Cap was a mushroom-induced fever dream, because the magical Nintendo mushrooms have opposite effects on Link and Mario.

 ...That was bad. And I feel bad. 

But seriously, nice looking stuff.

We both work too hard for jobs we're passionate about but underpaid for, Nick. I think we both need a Fuji apple. If that's not your thing, then a delicious treat of some other variety, perhaps. 

Guacamelee needs a Steam sale sooner than later.

That was about the response I was expecting from you. lol 

To be fair, I could have sworn they did the same thing when LL Cool J performed with RATM last year, and they were already 15 minutes over, but if they let it run last year, then I'll be on Reznor's side. Right now though, I'm not quite as outraged as everyone else, I honestly ... kinda preferred last year's ending performance anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I love Dave Grohl, QotSA, Reznor and everyone else better than most at the Grammys, but I didn't personally think it was as awesome a performance as it was hyped or as a lot of other people thought it was ... from what I saw of it, so maybe you have a point. lol  

Taylor Swift's dancing was hilarious. I think she was hankering for some dark meat that night, was the impression I got. I was too after that Beyonce performance. I'll stop. 

I agree about Lorde. I thought Kendrick Lamar and Imagine Dragons blew everyone else out of the water, though. I love Macklemore, but I do agree Lamar should have gotten more recognition for rap. Macklemore is kind of a pop/rap hybrid with his newest album, though his old stuff is definitely more towards rap, and arguably even better.

I have Trombone Shorty's CD in my office. at least the one w/"Fire and Brimstone" on it. 

As someone who studies this stuff, I have to contend that while Hollywood always gets labeled "clueless," the public is at least just as guilty for what gets produced. Look up the term "demand characteristics" and a Psychologist named Orne (1969), which I'm getting from my Mass Media Research book by Wimmer & Dominick (Tenth Ed., 2014, p. 28), which says "research studies seeking to find out about respondents' listening and viewing habits always find subjects who report high levels of NPR and PBS listening and viewing. However, when the same subjects are asked to name their favorite NPR or PBS programs, many cannot recall even one." ... granted, it doesn't cite any of those studies. I'm gonna ask my professor about that. Still I tend to believe a large portion of trite crap that gets produced is based on the fact people buy trite crap, and doesn't just get created because Hollywood is "out of touch." Granted, I'm not arguing that that's not a part of it; I am however saying the public has a bigger role in this than they're willing to admit. Anyway, off my ... is it a soap box if I'm not necessarily firmly planted on any side? I mean, I don't necessarily believe media researchers exactly have their fiunger on the pulse at all times, either. Well, anyway ... 

I am still with you on sci-fi. I think it could use some freshening up, and I'm glad you've found some stuff to do that.
