That looks awesome to me. Love the last screenshot especially.

I've only played one R&C game, but I enjoyed it.

I actually really liked that song. Thanks for sharing!

Heard the Mad Season song all the time growing up, older brother was really into that stuff, since he was a teenager back then. Dig The Lumineers, they've always recreated that song perfectly when I've seen them do it live on video. Found that song "Home," by playing Song Pop, that's my favorite on the playlist. I prefer the Metallica cover of Whiskey, but that's mostly cause I grew up with that one. Thin Lizzy's version does a better job of conveying that song's sorrowfulness, and I can see why people like it more.

As for the ones I've never heard before, "Kaki King" was very nice guitar work, and "Rye Whiskey" was a good, upbeat-sounding song.

I don't recall us ever having problems with the NES or SNES that blowing didn't fix, can't remember for PSX, and disc-read errors were very common for PS2, but could usually be solved. Usually. There were A LOT of disc-read errors.

As for N64 and Gamecube, my controllers aren't the best, but the GCN itself runs fine (it's a launch model), but my N64 glitches out randomly, and is not a launch model, having received it in December '97. In its defense, though, that glitching only came into play a couple weeks ago, might just be a problem with pins, and I played it earlier this year for a long period of time, no problem, so it's lasted pretty damn long, regardless.

But RROD is the main reason I no longer adopt consoles early, and I won't be starting again this next generation.

Lol! Well, my current job was found on Craigslist, so it's not all bad.

Maybe you'll get lucky, and he just means he found a game called Blood Sports on SNES. Otherwise, run.

I thought you had to order that Zelda book online. It's in brick-and-mortars like Barnes and Noble? Well, might be making a trip today once my car comes back home. Or tomorrow.

I should read more graphic novels. Have to say though, I actually like the hyper-stylized and more realistic stuff, so we differ there. Only ones I own currently that I know of are Batman Noel and Watchmen. Noel is definitely trying to be more realistic, and looks great, aside from a couple character faces, like Superman's, that don't look right to me. Otherwise, I love the artwork, though. Then again, I'd say Watchmen is closer in style to the graphic novel you posted, which I also love. I'll have to read more of them to figure out my preference, but for the time being, as long as the art doesn't look like crap, I'm good.

Favorite part of the Trowler was the breakdown around 4 or so minutes in, and continues until.... well, I guess it's just easier to say I really like the second half. 

Really dug the 80s (early 90s?) vibe of the Pat Travers. "Snortin Whiskey, drinkin cocaine" are the lyrics, and these guys are dressed like that and rocking the way they are? Might as well be the anthem for the 80s as I see it. lol Of course, I'm seeing it as someone who was alive for none of that decade, so mileage may vary.

I actually like the incorporation of other media, provided the games are still quality. For instance, the main reason I'd consider buying a PS3 at this point is that I could watch Blu-Rays on it AND play Bioshock Infinite. Then I'd have a new Blu Ray player AND a new console that connects to the internet. Win-win-win.

Still, it was an interesting trip down memory lane seeing what you mentioned, particularly the Power Glove and Superscope, and I agree the social aspect of some of this stuff is annoying and creepy if it's not immediately obvious how to turn it off. I actually spent a few minutes yesterday trying to help an ex girlfriend get a Spotify playlist she was listening to off her facebook feed. And that pause when your head turns feature sounds incredibly frustrating. I'll tell it to pause when I want it to pause, dammit!

So I see your point, but at the same time I don't think having a machine that can do things besides gaming is a bad thing, as long as it doesn't undermine the games... or have an always-online requirement, or get rid of backwards compatibility, those two things bother me, or at least the latter would if I had owned a 360 or PS3.

Yeah, I decided to get their entire studio album discography in high school, and continued with Death Magnetic my Freshman year of college. I still want to get Garage Inc., cause I do love their covers, but every time I see it I'm just like "I don't have $20 for this right this second," and there's usually something right next to it that's on sale that I really want, like Foster the People's CD when I bought it.

Saw them at Ozzfest in '08, also a very positive vibe. Funny that you saw them the year St. Anger came out, and I saw them the year Death Magnetic came out. What are the odds we both saw them the year of an album release? lol

My personal favorite by them is Ride the Lightning, overall, but Justice is amazing.

Well, that's understandable, I mean a movie is hard wo... wait. Oh. Oh.. Ooooooooooh..... !!!!!
