Maybe it will have something to do with Nintendo World, the official Nintendo store that opened in Rockafeller Center this past week.

I finally broke down and bought it. It wasn't unlistenable like I thought it was going to be, but it definitely does disappoint. Who knows? Maybe it will be a grower, like the Green Album.

I've heard Blackalicious is pretty deep, but the only song I've heard is "Feel This Way". I liked it, though.

Yes, one thing that jumped out and irked me was the 8th grade rhymes. And I usually like simplistic lyrics.

I listened to Myspace this morning, but I only got to listen to the 1st 4 tracks. "Beverly Hills" isn't the worst song I've ever heard, nor is "This is Such a Pity". However, track 2 sounded like a damned Good Charlotte song, and track 4 might have been the worst Weezer song of all time...barring anything following it actually being worse but I don't know how that could be true.

On the other hand, here's Rolling Stone with 4 Stars:

Unfortunately, RS praising anything to the moon doesn't fill me with hope, either. Goodnight, kids.

Haven't heard it yet, but the 1st review is in.

An 0.4 out of 10.0. I don't think I've ever heard an album deserving of that score. I'm pretty sure Pitchfork is just being theatrical to gain attention, as usual, but it still doesn't give me hope.

fps
in Video Games
Right now I'm playing TimeSplitters: Future Perfect and I think it breathed some fresh life into a stale genre. So many get boring halfway through the game, but this one finds ways to keep you involved. Not to mention it's the deepest FPS out there, as far as arcade mode is concerned.

Here's the new Foo Fighters single from their upcoming 2-disc album.
http://s1.youshareit.com/files/19707f50c00...cc8b27c213.html
I don't like it. I echo the sentiments of others who said things like "I can imagine this being in a Gatorade commercial" and "This song is Foo by Numbers".
"When someone comes up to you and asks which Led Zeppelin album they should buy, you should say Physical Graffiti," Dave tells NME. "And, in 20 years, when your kid comes up to you and asks which Foo Fighters album he or she should buy, I want you to say In Your Honor."

311. They either release the most simplistic songs from their albums that won't stand out, or complicated, moody ones that are just poor choices for radio singles. From "Evolver", they should have released "Don't Dwell". Sometimes they make poor choices about what they actually CUT from their albums. Their B-side catalog contains some great jazzy instrumentals, plus "Gap", a disco-robot-voice song that would be an instant club SMASH.

Completely Off topic: I haven't watched wrestling in years and have no intention of going in those folders. What happened to Chris Candido?

Either go on a school night, or don't go where the teenies are known to hang out. Going to independently owned theatres does the trick nicely, too.

^ I don't know. I really don't like reference that isn't parody. Ok. So you inserted a G.I. Joe PSA into the episode. What did you do with it besides play out a scene word-for-word? Reference itself isn't that funny.
It's like that episode where they play out the "hair gel" scene from "There's Something About Mary" with no difference except the fact that Stewie was standing in for Cameron Diaz. Where was the punchline?

I saw this last night and it is an excellent film. I think everyone should see it. It's amazing how far the scandal stretches.
True, unlike Moore films, this movie offers hard facts without sensational leaps in logic. This movie still SHOCKS, but again, unlike Moore, it does so because what's going on is unbelievably true.
It is such and interesting (and infuriating) movie.

There are Trans Fans that say Beast Wars is the best cartoon in the whole TF universe. I just couldn't get into it back in the day, so I wouldn't know.
Basically, several years after the first cartoon, the 2 factions were fighting out in space when something goes awry and they end up in a time warp. This sends them to prehistoric Earth.
It continued the G1 continuity: a reformatted Ravage was in one episode, and mentioned the original Megatron; Starscream's "spark", or ghost hit a time warp and ended up in Beast Wars, possessing people. And at one point, the factions realized they were on Earth, which meant that the Ark--the shuttle where the Autobots and Decepticons were lying deactivated for millions of years before being reactivated in 1984, was on the planet. The Predacon's new orders were to get into the Ark and kill Optimus Prime, and change history in the Decep's favor, forever. In one season finale episode, Beast Wars' Megatron was able to bore into the Ark. He was flying through the shuttle past deactivated G1 Transformers rendered in computer graphics (who were all much, much bigger than the Beast Wars TFs. The way a G1 TF would look next to Devastator should give you the size ratio). BW Megatron flew up to Prime, and fired a fully charged blast at his head, blowing it up and causing a time rift.
Somehow, the Maximals were able to fix everything, as usual (with a scene where Optimus Prime activates for a second, looks at Optimus Primal, then deactivates again). But I think that's one of the most intriguing things about the whole series.

I know I've posted it on here before, so excuse me if you've already read it. However, I helped write a Smark parody review of TF: TM. If you can ignore the typos and accidentally calling Blitzwing "Blitzkreig," you might think it's kind of funny. Especially some of the more subtle jabs at Scott K.

Every time I've had a couple beers in me, I just want to pump my fist to "Livin' on a Prayer". Is that so wrong?

Shockwave was another favorite. I think in the movie, he was supposed to be seen being killed off by unicron, but it was never put in.You can actually read the 1st draft of the movie at TF Archive. In it, as Shockwave is barking orders to the Decepticons, he looks out the window to see Unicron's giant hand coming at his tower. The tower is then crushed and thrown into space, I believe. So yeah, I think he was supposed to die (he doesn't appear, except discolored in huge group shots in Season 3, so I think you could consider him dead as of that battle).

I want to hate "Fat Lip" by Sum41. I hate everything else they do, though.

I always just thought we all need counseling.

^ The same closet that had Cybertron's two moons. Haha.
As someone said, it was that final "fuck you" to all of the G1 fans by taking out one of their idols in the most hum-ho of fashions. No fighting, no giant battle, just ZAP! and it's over.Like Prowl's death. He died from being zapped once in the chest, by a shot from Scrapper, a lone Constructacon for crying out loud. At least let Soundwave kill him, or something.

I can pretty much ignore most animation errors in Transformers. It was the way of the land. But "Carnage in C-Minor" was absolutely ridiculous. Presumed dead Autobots fighting in Decepticon ranks, Ultra Magnus picking up two Constructacons who were the size of Rumble, and much more. I want to know what was going on at the animation studio that week.
Who is the worst poster currently?

Somehow I've upgraded from being on the last incarnation of this list, to once again being invisible. Things are looking up.
