I've just realised I didn't play any games released this year, I just tackled a little bit of my backlog and got pretty hard into Metroidvanias.

Best game I played for the first time this year was Super Metroid. Obviously a classic but it's joined my pantheon of SNES games that are still 10/10 today, along with A Link to the Past and Kirby's Dream Course (it's the best golf game ever fight me)

Shout out to both Ori games as well, especially Will of the Wisps. Had a great week plowing through those two before Hollow Knight completely crushed my spirit.

JABELS! Great to see you again man!

What up brother, good to see you're still holding it down.

Been a while huh. This site has been a good ol' time sink for me again recently. I don't know if the gallery's still a thing so here's some Wrestling dudes I've been making.

'80s + New Generation

Attitude Era-Modern

(Also hi Janina, love the new post-flash creator, some features on here I'd have killed to have back in the day, you kids don't know how good you got it)

Ghost Rider is the tits, bro

Holy Grail vs Life of Brian

Recently binged the most recent season and it's fucking extraordinary. Unbelievably good.

I've recently been getting into a lot of The White Stripes, Radiohead, and some pretty rad folk music, which is neato. What's everyone else listening to right now?

In fact, Rodriguez is playing the next city over from me next month. It's gonna be pricey between the ticket price and the travel, but there's a good chance it's the last time he'll play the UK so I might have to look into selling a kidney...

I know that feel man, Neutral Milk Hotel are playing the Barrowlands (my favourite venue) in May, and I couldn't get tickets in time. I'm almost at the stage of willing to shell out £40 for a ticket, since it's likely the only opportunity I'll have to see them live.

Tom Milsom's new album, Organs.

I'm addicted and ridiculously in love with this man.

Along with that I'm digging through a bunch of Tom Waits albums.

Kay, not including all the local gigs I've been to (my dad provides the P.A. for most of the bands from here to Glasgow as well as being a member of three other bands, two of which feature my mum too), I've seen
KT Tunstall (Four times)
Metallica (VIP)
The Sword and Machine Head (Support for Metallica)
Colin Hay (Twice)
Tom Milsom (Summer in the City Warm-Up Gig)
BlueSkies (Summer in the City Warm-Up Gig)
Eddplant (Summer in the City Warm-Up Gig)
Chameleon Circuit (Summer in the City Warm-Up Gig)
Emma Blackery (Summer in the City Warm-Up Gig)
Jiezuberband (Twice, three times if you count when I supported the lead vocalist at a showcase)

I tried to snag tickets to Neutral Milk Hotel's Glasgow show a couple weeks ago but they sold out really quickly. I'm pretty fucking devastated about that.

On the bright side, I'll be seeing The Wonder Years next month and Frank Turner in February. So woot!

I'm going to enter a living celebrity into this contest, get disqualified, and lead a protest against the site once they eventually have died.

Also, just a question, can I use this as an excuse to murder Bono? Before the deadline, of course.

Quote from Jareen2

you really did a great job making adeplama as Ivan, but it is kinda weird to see bella as Red Rackham because -spoiler alert-

Display Spoiler

Ivan and Red Rackham are kinda the same guy.(and both male)

I would have made her Bianca Castafiore (that fat female opera singer for the people who doesn't know who she is)

What makes you think ADePALMA and Bella aren't the same person?

(psst, where's Meddle on that list?)

But seriously, welcome to the site! Like Eggyslav said, feel free to ask any of the mods for help with anything

I don't want them to fight at all. I fucking hate it when Superheroes get into fisticuffs with eachother.

Quote from Caribou

It's okay, Jabels is older than most people. He likes Pink Floyd and everything.

I am the essence of dad.

Quote from Till

2/10. I can't stand that voice...

Wait til you're older, son.

8/10
That was pretty intense. I fucking loved those drums. All I could think about when listening to it was how awesome it would be live.

Tom Waits - Come On Up To The House

I haven't seen "One Flew Over..." yet, but I've been meaning to watch it for ages. So many films I've been putting off watching, I have no idea where to start.

Quote from Till

new MGMT? didn't know so far, i'll check it out
(God, I LOVE Spotify!)

Their new self-titled album comes out in September, I believe.

Quote from 3lvis

I like the Random Access Memories a lot, but lots of people are disappointed with it. I think it might be because all the songs aren't really chart toppers. That was what Get Lucky was mostly for.

I love it. Contains some of the best stuff they've ever done. "Touch" is probably the best track Daft Punk have ever made, and Christ, "Give Life Back to Music", "Lose Yourself to Dance", "Doin' it Right" and, of course, "Get Lucky" are some of the catchiest songs I've ever heard.

Christ, this year's been pretty good in terms of music.

New Bowie
New Daft Punk
New MGMT
New Frank Turner
New KT Tunstall
New Tom Milsom
Neutral Milk Hotel reunion tour

I'm sure I'm missing a bunch, but god damn.

Also this is my song of the year, I've listened to it nearly every day since it came out:
Tom Milsom - Pipes

Lack of Rocksteady and Dini has me slightly worried, but I'm excited nonetheless.

Am I the only one who doesn't want Joker to show up? I'm pissed he stole the spotlight from Hugo Strange in AC.

Oh, and the article mentions 8 assassins out to get Batman. Any ideas who they are?
