NIce swag, can't beat a trilogy for ten bucks, and I had fun playing the first couple Jak and Daxter entries. I see a yellow question box also made a cameo in the Beyond picture, look forward to seeing your figure collection.
I haven't bought much of anything this year, just been paying down loans with my checks, but I'll get some nice stuff for my birthday this weekend.
Only Batman graphic novel I have is Batman Noel, but I want more. This sounds like a good one to get along with others, and that way I can read the story even though I'm unable to play the game. Cool post.
Eternal Darkness, but when I posted about it, pretty much everyone mentioned Fatal Frame, so I think you're in good company here. lol
Nice! I can't remember if I ever played Star Soldier. I need to get to bed soon as well.
Was not expecting a Black Flag member to be doing instrumentals, but I really dug it, especially the Texas Corrugators one, the bass, guitar, and drums all seemed to be leading at some point.
Loved it when the guitar kicked in on "Doomsday," I dig songs with build-up like that, and I've always liked that effect on the vocals, makes it sound like an older, classic song.
That "Frankins Tower" video looked like it had a fun crowd.Would never have thught to dance to that myself, but now I want to. lol
Glen Hanshard has an awesome voice, and that's a great beat. Love the video too, reminds me of my summers in Wisconsin when we'd go play out in the lake.
Van Morrison is awesome, and so is that bass. This was a great idea, very nice and easy songs here.
In my opinion, you missed out on some fun, but soon after Yellow was released, I was a bigger fan of Digimon, and then got into Yu-Gi Oh. What you just thought to yourself was correct: I was a damn nerd, and my parents' wallett's didn't appreciate the Japanese Inquisition on Children during the late 90s and early 2000s. It was rough. lol
I never saw Tupac when he was acting, that was before my time, but his music is great. And yeah, I'm really into Macklemore at the moment myself, I think this is three, four blogs now I've had him? lol
As for Jay Z, I like his voice, as does Kirk Hammett, according to some of the Some Kind of Monster extras. I liked his project with Linkin Park. I'm doing a bunch of exercises I found on Youtube for my own voice, to deepen it, at the moment. lol
Thanks for stopping by!
I regret not having seen them with Down and Metallica, but tickets for that show were priced closely to Ozzfest 2008, and I had seen twelve bands for that price, including Sword and Metallica.
I still need to see Down, though, and in retrospect, perhaps the tickets were fair considering the bands playing.
Have you heard of Metallica's Orion festival, by the way? That sounds awesome, and I need to see RHCP.
I like stories and exploration in games, but alas still not an RPG fan, so if it's not a "holy crap get this game!" type recommendation, I'm afraid I have to pass.
What I absolutely love though, is The Sword. They're amazing. They're from Austin, TX by the way; saw them at Ozzfest 2008, and their set was so incredible that I stayed for all of it despite wanting to go to the main stage and watch a different act. They should have had a much bigger crowd than they did in my opinion.
I'll be back to watch the second video, it's not loading for me at the moment.
Edit: First time hearing Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, though I have heard of them. Song was pretty decent, I like the minimalist video for it, really adds to the song's atmosphere.
I don't actually know who that is, but I've been writing a bunch of goodreads reviews today, so I may as well look him up.
I'm glad you're excited, though, and that the author is from Wisconsin, where much of my family still lives. lol
