Hotline Miami

I need to buy this game. Best part? 10 bucks.

Well That's Settled

The new Pig Destroy album, Book Burner, absolutely slays. Easily the best metal release of 2012 and possible album of the year. Holy shit. They haven't come out with a new album in five years, but they must have spent every minute of that time getting pissed off and writing music.

Best part? It's streaming on NPR. I love America.

Tandem

I'm pretty sure I subconsciously hate the idea of any free time based off of my recent actions. 

I have in the past month done this:

-Start watching Season 2 of The Walking Dead.

-Start watching Freaks and Geeks.

-Try to keep up with the new series of Doctor Who.

-Burned through the first two books of A Song of Ice and Fire (the books from Game of Thrones).

-Started reading book three of the aforementioned series.

-Attempted to get caught up on all the games I bought from the past Steam sale which is in and of itself a lost fucking cause (Alan Wake, The Walking Dead (videogame this time, also very good), The Binding of Issac, Civilization V, Borderlands 2, and Super Meat Boy.

-Thought about getting caught up on Mad Men as well as Dexter, but quickly realized that would be a poor choice if I ever wanted to sleep again.

Thank god winter is coming so I'll have more time to piss away on this stuff so that by spring when the flood waters start rising again I'll be caught up with all this stuff, but then again there will have been another Steam sale so... yeah. 

First world problems suck.

Sup

I suppose it's time to do my monthly update. Guess what? I'm going to New York City for a few days and I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't have any sort of grand plan as to what I'll be doing there, but I'm sure I'll find a way to have a good time and do all the slightly touristy stuff without going full Japanese tourist.

I'll probably give a full report once I get back Mondayish.

The new Flying Lotus album is pretty fucking sweet. Until The Quiet Comes reaffirmed my faith in humanity and I've been fascinated with it since it began streaming on NPR a few weeks ago.

How about that election going on, huh folks? Jesus, I still can't wrap my head around how one debate resulted in such a huge swing in the polls. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Obama didn't whip his dick out during the debate and play piano with it. The polls seem to indicate otherwise.

Here's my new background. It combines two of my favorite television programs at this time, Breaking Bad and Adventure Time. http://wallbase.cc/wallpaper/2320668

That's all for now. I might start to post more regularly, but who knows. Probably not.

With the Whitest Kids U' Know's 5th and final season they decided to end every episode with clips from a full length feature film they created titled, "The Civil War On Drugs." In it, Trevor and Sam essentially start and end the Civil War because of marijuana. Some guy decided to splice all the clips together and make the film whole. God damn it's funny

A Brand New Obsession

Well gang, I have proven to myself once again that I just don't get the concept of moderation. I've been told for months by all my friends to watch Game of Thrones on HBO and I had been planning on doing that for months. The problem was I had to catch up on...
1.) Doctor Who ('effing awesome)
2.) Breaking Bad (best thing on television since The Wire)
3.) Adventure Time (holy god, just watch that show. Don't let the fact it's on Cartoon Network throw you off. It's amazing)


So, once I had caught up on all that as well as play shitloads of Minecraft, beat Alan Wake, and dabble in Civilization V (fucking steam sale...), I was finally able to watch Game of Thrones. It's so damn good. It scratched an itch that I didn't know I had. The series is incredibly deep and so full of interesting characters with umpteen story lines that I had a tough time not burning through the entire first season in more than 3 sittings.

In my head I was thinking, "Oh, this series is great, I'm enjoying myself. Let's go to the source material. I'll saunter over to Amazon and see how much the first book costs. Wait, what? I can get the first four books of the series for 12 bucks (16 with shipping?!?!?). Purchase".

From there I realized I didn't do enough research, because there are currently 5 books out at this time of a planned 7 book series and of the first four I bought, the shortest is 850+ pages... I was sort of hoping to just burn through them over a long weekend, but I'm perfectly okay with biting off more than I can chew... This is looking like a fall project.

And that is why I really am lacking on the whole moderation thing. TV series, to massive book series, leading to just not sleeping at all anymore.

This always makes me happy
