Nice pick! This whole page of music rocks, actually. (Yes, even the Manson song. It's one of the few of his I can tolerate.) Anyway, I'm listening to Thin Lizzy's "Dancing in the Moonlight." Edit: 'cause I found a YouTube link. That site is the best thing to happen to the Internet since Mr. T Ate My Balls.

Rufus is great, but his version of Hallelujah just sounds phoned in compared to Buckley's. If I had never heard the Buckley version, just like those billions of people who first heard the song in Shrek, I probably would think the RW version was fantastic. However, that wasn't how it went down. Rufus' dad, Loudon Wainwright III, is a great singer-songwriter in his own right, actually. He used to be on the BBC all the time doing clever, funny songs. He wrote a song fairly soon after Rufus was born called "Rufus is a Tit Man" that basically talked about how much his son enjoyed breastfeeding. So he figured when his son grew up, Rufus would prefer the T to the A, so to speak. Of course, the smashing irony here is that Rufus turned out to be absolutely gay. Ryan Adams and the Cardinals - Sweet Illusions Edit: I also heard the Buckley version before Cohen's original. I gotta say, the original completely underwhelmed me. But then, it's Cohen. He's a great poet and writer, but the delivery is a bit lacking. And now it's Crowded House - Distant Sun

Where's everybody from?
Not according to the latest Forbes list. They've got you burghermeisters sobered up to #8. Me? Here and there. By "here" I mean California, the golden land of promise. 'Cept the promises are less reliable than sunshine here in the pyrite land of illusion. At least it never rains. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That list has Cleveland at no. 7, and Columbus at no. 3. Ohioans sure know how to drink. :Eldar's patented "toast" icon: I should look to see if Youngstown is still one of the nation's leaders in murders... Edit: and Cincinnati at no. 16! Three cities in the top 20, that's what perennially losing pro teams will do to you, I guess.

Ah, the song that took my Metalli-love to another level. Before that, all I'd heard was the same four songs off the Black Album, played over and over by the older kids in the weight room. As it is, probably haven't listened to it in years. Tony Xenos - Courier Text Reply

Movies You Have Seen Lately
Did the one Dudeson get naked? I'm just asking because I've watched two episodes of the American version of their show, and in both of them it seems the one brother is sans pants more often than not. I haven't watched any movies lately, but I did pick up Team America: World Police for $10 the other day.

Yeah, my first impression was Counting Crows too. And Hornsby is a good approximation for the singer. I used to drink (and occasionally work) with a guy who said he had a chance at a one-night stand with Liz Phair back in her pre-Exile in Guyville days when she was playing college town bars, touring in a beat-up van. To hear him tell it, she slept in his bed in his apartment and he slept on the couch. He was really serious with his girl, see, and he didn't want to screw it up by sleeping with a rock and roll gal. Of course, everyone at work regarded this guy as a huge liar, so who knows if it actually happened? Either way, it's a good story to tell over a few pints. Razorlight - Los Angeles Waltz

For the love, there were rounds in which one player attacked, then the other NPCs took their turn! Is that not the very definition of turn-based? Can a game only be turn-based if the combat takes a really long time? It's not a fallacy, and it's not a lie, Volo. How can you even argue that it's not turn-based when the evidence is RIGHT THERE! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Saul Williams - 1987 DAMN! Anyway, I'm bummed because it looks like you guys are spamming the boobs thread to hell and it will probably be long gone by the time I get home from work. All that marvelous spam, and I don't get to read it. Normally I would, but I know this particular spambot didn't settle for the usual laundry list of comically-named links...

The Gerudo Valley theme from Legend of Zelda: OoT Thanks to Pop and Mus for posting the game music link in that other thread! And now it's time to groove along to the Chemical Plant Zone from Sonic 2... oh man this brings back the good memories. You guys really have no idea how much I'm groovin' right now. I'm groovin' so much I almost forgot to award props to the dude for rockin' the Social D. :cool:

Radiohead - Just The video is just genius. (pause for me to laugh at my own joke) The band has sworn to never tell what the man says, and the producer heightened the mystique by saying "to tell you would deaden the impact, and would probably make you want to lie down in the road too." Edit: realized that post would be much better with a YouTube link, so Ifound one.

The combat was based on stats. Characters took turns attacking each other. Dice were rolled behind the scenes. How is that not turn-based combat?
