It was honestly handled pretty well, given the circumstances. I stand by calling Double Toasted amazing though. "Those guys are deer-fuckingly hilarious." - Louis C.K.

I am playing through the first one, but I'm not too big a fan of it, to be honest. I actually don't like the Nemesis system (!) 

I want to read Grant Morrison's A Serious House on Serious Earth. 

Oh, I completely understand practical being  better than CG. 

Interesting read. When they were talking about cars in the beginning, it started reminding me of James Hunt (F1 driver), but the not wanting fame thing definitely puts a damper on that comparison. 

I understand where he's coming from not wanting the attention of a no. 1, but the intentional tanking of matches is a curious thing to do. 

He seems like he was an honest and decent guy off the court. 

They also have a philosophy of Halo video if you're so inclined.

I've seen Wrath of Kahn and a bit of the original series and I liked both. The series itself is definitely more about philosophy (and I know the first movie is supposed to be as well, "What does God want with a spaceship?" etc.) which would have bored me to tears growing up, but is interesting now. 

Ennui is another. I got tired of hearing that word in my high school AP English class. Brideshead Revisited and The Sun Also Rises put me in a state of ennui. And why wouldn't they, when that word and its meaning seemed to be what that class revolved around? 

Apparently, Escape from Arkham Asylum is a much better Suicide Squad movie. Since it's a DC Animated film and those are usually great, I believe it. I'll have to rent that on PSN some time.

I have gotten back into everything I was already into after experiencing anhedonia for so long. 

But I never really watched the Grammys despite being interested in music and nowadays you get highlights the next day anyway, so I really don't blame anyone for not watching awards shows. 

Friggin' Space Casino, hell yeah!

OMD is reminding me of a lot of 80s bands, but I can't think of which by name at the moment. It's not my kind of song, but since you brought up today's music, have you ever seen this: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/science-proves-pop-music-has-actually-gotten-worse-8173368/ 

I know the loudness part is true if nothing else. All the songs I got in the radio station when I was manager were waaaay overmodulated and had to have their amplitude reduced before going on air. 

Also, this was a "news" story today: http://metalheadzone.com/its-happening-lady-gaga-invited-to-join-metallica-as-co-lead-singer/ 

I ... would totally go to that concert because I like them both, if it turns out they ever actually do anything beyond the Grammys.
