PixlBit

I can understand where you're coming from. I think the band itself has matured though. Honestly, I didn't know they existed until Volume 3 released with the "Duality" single, so I got into them when they started mixing things up a bit. I appreciate the raw power of Slipknot and Iowa though. I can certainly see where they get associated with dumb, teenage angst, but maybe I'm not fully past it myself. Lol 

Oh, I didn't take it as a personal insult. I have no problem with KISS or any love for them. I just think Gene Simmons is a blowhard who needs to stop trying to copyright every day phrases and symbols. I get annoyed that American courts allow for that sort of thing. I just understand the association of teens and late 90s stuff like Slipknot and Korn than I do the association with kids. I couldn't stand anything that heavy (not that either is The Black Dahlia Murder or anywhere near) as an under-10. Lol It was either pop or pop rock for me at that age.

I don't hate Nickelback the way the Internet does, nor do I love bacon as much as the Internet does. But Chad Kroeger could have compared their chart success and had a point, as much as I hate to admit it. Musical diversity is not a fight you start with Corey Taylor though. He's all over the map when it comes to rock and occassionally rap. I get a kick out of playing "Through Glass" and "AOV" side-by-side for people and explaining it's the same guy. 

Wooooow. Lol I just store everything on Facebook or Google Drive. $400 a year for photo storage?!!!!!

They ... They know PS+ membership is $50/year and involves like 5 times the value and data amount, right?

I love Slipknot and am not sure what you mean by "kiddie" metal. Certainly simpler song structures than other metal, and the percussive focus is not for everyone, but kiddy? Errrrrrmmm... Don't know if I'd agree when I have kids. Lol

Stone Sour's hits have usually been either ballads like "Bother" (Spider-Man 2002 soundtrack), "Tired" (House of Gold and Bones, either Part I or II), "Through Glass" (Come What (Ever) May) or hard rock tracks like "Gone Sovereign/Absolute Zero" (House of Gold and Bones Part I). Heaviest single they have is "Get Inside," I think.

You've probably hard either "Through Glass" or "Bother" without realizing who it was. Maybe not.

It's odd to me how much more radio friendly Stone Sour can be, yet Slipknot is the better seller by miles, perhaps because it stands out more than Stone Sour's moRe straightforward rock sound

Honestly, it's funny you mention horizon, cause I kind of resented how BotW's release meant Horizon seemed overshadowed by it in gaming news. 

I still need to play through Horizon, though ...

In Corey Taylor's defense, do YOU feel good after eating fast food? Lol

The Perot Museum is a science museum in Dallas; the moniker coming from Ross Perot. They actually had something about id software in mesquite, tx on this timeline of Texas innovations display. I'd forgotten they'd given away some levels and game code for Quake for free. Now I know why QuakeCon is always here in Dallas!

I'd love a video game art exhibit, but I'd want Video Games Live to have a concert in the same venue too. I can dream!

Stone Sour is amazing, you heathen! Nickelback is the not great one. Nickelback. :p Tbh I wonder how many people even know Stone Sour's music. Nickelback is unavoidable, but people tend to know The song "Through Glass" or "Bother," but not who wrote it.

Or maybe I just have a hard time accepting they're even close to the same level, because of how much better Stone Sour is.

So far it just seems like a generic cover shooter to me, but I JUST landed on the first planet, so we'll see.

I'll have to look at that later. Too tired. Why does Popol Vuh remind me of The Mars Volta?

Funny you mention that, cause I rented Until Dawn, played through most of it, bought it a couple months back, didn't play it since aaaaaaand ... 

Is Kane and Lynch part of the Soul Reaver series? I want to play some of those. I remember seeing my older brother play them.

I loved Life is Strange. It's one of my favorites now. I'm going to download this month's free PS+ Until Dawn giveaway too, in case anything happens to my physical copy.
