  1. This one I will give a listen tomorrow - still very new to VHS head. I think I've heard maybe two trax by him altogether so far.
  2. Finally listened to Syro, yesterday and today. Not quite sure what to make of it. But I only listened to it once, and a bit late at that. Mostly uniform, steady jams as far as I can tell - nothing super edgy like he's done in the 1997-2001 time period. Overall, I didn't find it spectacular, but not atrocious either. Pretty much middle of the road. Also how the hell did I miss your sulfuric acid post Peace7, that was fuckin' gold.
  3. People in my state drive like fucking idiots. That's it.
  4. Some unknown caller called me this morning with a local area code. Their response was something like "hello, aabbjeebujah...hello". Couldn't tell if they were drunk or what, but I hung up after a few seconds. Should've ignored it.
  5. Decided to run Fallout 3 thru the FWE and Fellout mods. Fallout Wanderer's Edition makes combat more realistic with an added array of new guns and gear, plus sprinting ability, gradual Stimpack healing, and other gameplay changes. Fellout gets rid of the snot-green sky and replaces it with a more lush, earthy blue. Starting to feel a little more like a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game now - a welcome change from playing Vanilla FO3 all this time.
  6. Fallout 3. It's been almost six years now since its release if I'm not mistaken. Every time I beat it and think I'll never play it again, I end up re-installing it and starting a new playthrough again a few months later anyway. Well played, Bethesda.
  7. Dead Alive. I think it was Peter Jackson's first film, and a truly fucked up one at that. Dunno/10
  8. I'm scared I'm gonna become Mark Gormley in 25 years. Fuck.
  9. Just yielded a successful batch of smoked sockeye salmon fillets - my first ever attempt at smoking food of any kind.
  10. Jedi Outcast was the shit back then. Still is, lightsaber wise. Yeah LucasArts nailed the Lightsaber battle aspect, which continues to impress even to this day. And you're forced to go Lightsaber against Dark Jedi 'cos they'll just deflect any blaster shots or projectiles right back. The boss fights are pathetically easy if you know the shortcut strategies. Another beef I had with DX:HR is when you use the CASIE aug and the results in conversation choices are inconsistent when verbally confronting certain NPCs. Otherwise it's a solid game overall, and contains homage to the original DX.
  11. I realize if it's not a Dark Souls, Dishonored, or PS4 game, nobody gives a shit, but I'm posting anyway. Just finished Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast last night and think I'll give Jedi Academy a go today. They're games from over a decade ago, and I don't even consider myself a Star Wars fan, but I'm playing them anyway out of "unfinished business". This will keep me occupied whilst doing laundry and first-time salmon-smoking today.
  12. (I do not take credit for this shot btw)
  13. Yeah, that's what I like about stealth-emphasis games like Dishonoured and Deus Ex - if the bad guys find you, you at least have a chance to fight back, even if it's messy. Syrosly. I'm not even gonna touch the Aphex subforum until I've had a listen.
  14. I fuckin' hate mandatory stealth missions in video games - as in, if the bad guys find you, you fail the mission. Fuck that shit. It's not even fun. You don't even have the chance to fight back. The grounds for failure in game-play should be if you lose a fight with the enemy, not if they merely detect you or activate an alarm. I don't have the patience for this hide-and-seek bullshit anymore. Sorry, fedora moment.
  15. I grilled some bulgogi for lunch at work that my co-workers nearly orgasmed from. I may be shit at socializing, but at least I can dominate at the grill.
  16. Army of Darkness. Sequel to Evil Dead 2. Now I know the source of the DooM Chainsaw revving-up sample. Groovy/10
  17. cautious optimism
