Would you look at that - crossovers coming to Mario Kart via DLC! Hard not to get excited for that DLC, especially with the likes of Zelda and F-Zero in there. Hopefully Mario Kart 8 is the last iteration in the series exclusively dedicated to the Mario franchise and this opens up the series to the whole Nintendo roster.
All I can say is, it's about damn time!
Really stoked for this DLC, but the drop dates are insanely spread out. The Zelda pack is hitting in November and the Animal Crossing pack doesn't drop until May 2015. I wonder why they are waiting so long to release this stuff?
Soul arrows from up top make it much, much easier. You can use the building structure to avoid his attacks and pop out of cover when his guard is down for an easy hit. It takes a little while, but he goes down without much effort.
I'm not lining up to buy one, but there are some interesting games slated up for the Xbox One. Quite frankly, I think that it's great that Microsoft backpedaled on its bad policies and have improved their product as a result. I recall another company who did something pretty similar with a certain $600 machine they released not too long ago...
At the end of the day, good competition is healthy for the market and great for consumers. I'd rather see all three neck and neck as it would mean they'd all have to work their hardest to retain their marketshare and attract new consumers.
Man, that's a tough one to choose. I really love Ocean Machine: Biomech, but both Addicted and Epicloud are so tight, they're hard to ignore.
Infinity and Synchestra have a lot of stuff I really enjoy, as does Deconstruction and Ziltoid. They aren't as great as some of the aforementioned albums, but they're better than a lot of other stuff just in general.
Honestly, and I know this is kind of a cop out, but The Retinal Circus is such a great cross-section of his career, I might just have to say that. Plus Anneke is there for like, the whole concert, which is great for a variety of reasons.
How about you?
Casualties of Cool was good stuff. It's definitely a different thing for Devin, but it kind of matches up with Ki and Ghost as it's not all country/bluegrass stuff. It's definitely catchy so I've given it probably three spins at this point. I've been wanting to hear it again now that it's been a couple weeks since I first listened, so we'll see how that goes.
I appreciate that Devin's stuff spans the spectrum and his style really ties it all together. Whether it's extreme metal, progressive, pop, ambiance, or this bluegrass/country stuff, it's all got him written all over it.
Fuck yes for Devin Townsend! The man is a musical genius, can't wait to see him in December with Chris. Was rocking out to Ocean Machine: Biomech on the way to work this morning. Looking forward to Z2, which I think is dropping in like October or November. More ZIltoid can't possibly be a bad thing.
I thought about including it, but "I sat in my room for a whole summer and binged on Perfect Dark, beating it on Perfect Agent and earning all of the cheats," just didn't have the punch I was looking for. Plus, it kind of makes me sound like a loser and I just can't let the internet know that. Oh wait...
Holy crap, I had that game too! I don't remember what it was called either, but I remember walking around the hospital hallways and then jumping into surgeries and zapping viruses hidden in organs in the body.
Just heard about this a few minutes ago, what a shame. I'm not much into the whole Hollywood scene, but he's one of those faces I'll miss seeing in new films. The fact that he died by his own hand makes it sting that much worse. RIP.
