Have I posted this before, can't recall. I still find it funny tho, and revisit it occasionally. He's apparently taking a bit of a break (at least social media) after his last album. Funny how I remember (and liked) his 80's hits playing constantly on MTV etc - but it's his more current "adult" stuff (and his knowledge and humorous attitude) that I admire/respect and will remember him for. Edit: anyone who warms up before a concert with Frank Sinatra tunes is ok in my book.

I would love to hear his opinion on the Netflix Series as well

Completed Dredge, both endings. So I installed that Moria dwarf simulator. Lasted up to the moment I had to construct the first wooden platform. Absolutely hated building even that, so uninstalled.

Cyber City Oedo 808. Don't let me sing, don't let me speak! My English sucks, it really stinks! What's up with Japanese songs using utter nonsense English, anyways? I might've asked this at some point already...but honestly, you'd think that if you were going to include words from another language, you'd make sure they were meaningful and/or at least make sense first. Uh, anyways, this show is just 80s junk, don't watch it. The story's premise is that three HARDENED CRIMINALS (who definitely come across as being cool rebels just like writer intended) get a second chance at freedom...if they arrest enough other criminals. Or just kill them, I don't know. My greatest regret about 80s anime is how much dumb sci-fi and fantasy nonsense they made for male audiences. I mean, something like The Matrix is clearly aimed more at a male audience, but it feels like there is some thought and intelligent ideas behind its story, characters, what it's trying to say, its style and editing, visual design, and how everything ties together. There might still be some problems, there might be some specific design choices that I don't really much love, but there's still some good stuff there that at least makes it more than watchable cinematically speaking. With something like this, it's like the visuals are fine and there are high production values by all means...but there's really just not much sign that any intelligent life was involved in its making elsewise. This show's idea of a good turnabout for a character is introducing them and immediately being like, "Remember when we were partners? Those were the good old days, I wish we could go back to them... Anyways, I'm betraying you for a bunch of money. ...Oh no, I can't betray you, I'm pathetic!". Blargh, dead a minute of mindless action later. Wow, such character, really stirs the heart. Oh, this was directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri. I should've expected this: just about everything I've seen from this joker has been somewhere between disappointing and awful. The one exception is...oh, speaking of the Matrix, one of the shorts from the Animatrix, Program. That one was pretty good, but it also, like, didn't really have anything going on writing-wise beyond just the basic premise, which probably explains why he didn't manage to totally bungle it.

I am at 146/151 types of fish caught in Dredge. It feels wrong to give up on catching those last few.

Trademarks have to be defended or lost. Not defending a copyright would weaken your argument down the line if you tried to defend it, as i understand it. But Gromnir would know better than i. Most superhero related characters have trademarks attached to the unique aspects of their design.

I obtain the same result (180%) with Red Flag chain (with an hidden assassin for a long crit chain). But also with some other bonus like the grotto mask DoT, etc. I expected over than the Monk Inner Death boost but +180% with other goodies from assassinate and deathblow give a full attack at already 200 damages with Mohora-Modwyr.

I worded that not too well. I had 7 Guile when I activated Gambit. It costs 4 Guile, the crit conversion and bonus dmg are calculated with the remaining 3 Guile.

Will dig up the DVD to check. Almost finished, forgot how short some planets are. Running with Juhani, usually I kill her, even on LS. Her remarks when I kill some guy's kid then shake him down for reward money are fun.

wonder if the new game mode would be easier to learn never beat the second boss

It isn't easy to see your creation earn more success and reach a larger audience only when you give it to someone else.
