    That said Todd's fans are probably confused and frightened at the fact that he admits to enjoy genres that aren't power metal or classic rock.
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.

    I get bored with easy games more quickly. >_>

    What about Yume Nikki? The actual gameplay component is stupidly easy.
    To me Yume Nikki is more of an art piece than a game, and there always seem to be new things to find.
    At the risk of pissing you off, I am referring to a large-ish selection
    of Japanese "uber-hard" shmups that seem to exist for the sole perusal
    of a very specific kind of player.

    There is nothing wrong with
    appealing to a niche audience but I'm of the fairly firm belief that a
    reasonable amount of practice should be enough for me to beat any game.
    Some of the more difficult shmups require weeks to months of practice,
    and I do consider that bad game design. Challenge is different from
    masochism (which, incidentally, "masochistic" as a buzzword has always
    bothered me).
    You're probably referring to the likes of Dodonpachi and Ketsui. ^_^ In my opinion those games are very good, even if they are so hard that only the very best players can beat them.
  • You know what game got entirely too much hate lobbed at it for no good reason?

    Eryi's Action.
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    My internet connection is obnoxiously unstable right now

    If it doesn't improve soon I might just go lay down and read or something
  • I honestly don't get why anybody would listen to Power Metal when there are other genres of metal out there that are so much better.

    But to each his own i suppose.

    That's too bad. :/ It looks cute and fun.

    Spoony: We don't talk about Spoony anymore.
    I watched his Ultima reviews. They were interesting.

    it's a puzzle game framed in the context of a piss-you-off platformer like I Wanna Be The Guy.

    I've played the demo and it's very entertaining and I enjoyed it a whole bunch. It's basically the game version of a lateral thinking puzzle.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I think I've nailed the problem.

    Todd's running gag is that he's a pathetic loser no one really likes.

    But now he's gotten successful, has a steady girlfriend, and is in his own place without roommates.

    So it's like Charles Schulz.
  • ok i just cannot stop

    he's criticising the lyrics in a Zedd song and im sorry dude i think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how electronic music works, even if yeah i agree it ain't all that hot

  • My dreams exceed my real life
    All these songs do sound okay.
  • Bones, corpses, body parts and rocks are not valuable, no matter how attached you are to a particularly aerodynamic kobold head.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Goddamnit I can't stop noticing this now.

    Naney you ruin fun.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

  • Noticing what?
  • My dreams exceed my real life

    Noticing what?

    Doucheyness. That said, my friend's been noticing this two since his recent reviews.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    This Lil Wayne song is ew


  • I know little about music or the industry, but the past few pages of this thread doesn't paint this as necessarily a bad thing in my opinion.


  • My dreams exceed my real life
    "Demons" sounds like an Imagine Dragons song.

    ALBUM FILLER HAS RUINED THIS BAND FOR ME-Todd
  • I have noticed the trend in which the occult has been mentioned in music.

    We need an old priest, and a miko.
  • imma be blunt here Imagine Dragons is like the every definition of a manufactured, deliberately faceless band and the fact that this man thought Radioactive was a good song when compared to other, identical acts with less guitar-ing going on makes me think less of him.

    Actually Todd thought it was just okay.

    Oh come on, 22 is a fun song.

    Yeah, he said he didn't particularly care for Radioactive.

    the more things change...

    left: Barnes & Noble Nook Color, 2010, running CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2)

    right: Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7, 2012 (gained 2013), running CM 11

    both are using the latest version of Apex Launcher
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Todd has a weird hatred of background music.
  • Deicide is p much the definition of a good fun band imo

    there are other bands that are more arty, and others that are more technical or brutal or heavy or whatever

    but Deicide just rocks, y'know?
  • The only contact I've had with Spoony was his reviews of all the sucky parts of the Highlander franchise. It was entertaining. 
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    I am a wimp with terrible white guy opinions on music.

    I have resigned myself to this.

    I can be daring in evaluations of other media, but not music.
  • I have no clue who spoony is/was
  • More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.

    :D
  • I like Todd

    I also like (some) Imagine Dragons
  • people in general seem to be much more conservative in their musical tastes than with other forms of art.


    I wonder why that is sometimes.


    (*shrug*)


    no biggie i guess.
  • I have no clue who spoony is/was

    Basically a fan of things that made a series, went crazy(for real).

    Yahtzee apparently liked one of his videos one time, The Thing game.


  • I'm not obsessed like a good number of folks I know seem to be, but they're pleasing enough, if not particularly innovative in their field.
  • i'm not saying that liking imagine dragons is good/bad

    im saying that he has a weird double standard going on because it seems, at least to me, that they are like the exact embodiment of that kinda inorganic pop music he claims to hate so much.
  • I've heard he hates a good deal of Final Fantasy.

    Which irks me. I've only ever gotten into one (Final Fantasy X) but that game is very important to me, and it seems like a good deal of its hatedom dislikes it basically because it was kind of cheesy and melodramatic. But you know? I kind of love it for that. I like it when a work can be sure of itself enough to be cheesy and melodramatic. The entire game felt very... sincere. None of the dramatic moments felt fake or like they weren't earned.

    aww, that sucks.

    I hope he is getting proper care and attention...
  • I will invent a new form of entertainment, it will be centered around smells.

    We shall gather nice smells from around the world and have a device that allows you to smell them.

    The only song by them he liked was It's Time (which he called cliche, but had enough heart to make it work), and he was more or less just surprised at how much of a dip in quality all their other popular songs were. He mentioned in another review that he only found Radioactive kinda-sorta okay.

    Crazy is a bit of an exaggeration. IIRC, all that happened was he sort of flipped out on Twitter.

  • My dreams exceed my real life
    He's been doing better lately, apparently. Been getting out more, taking medication, and seeing a therapist.

    It turned out he was bipolar and had a crazy serious heart condition.

    "kinda-sorta okay" is a big step up from "over the top cartoonish loathing" imo

    I like that you articulated why you liked the game for the reasons that other people disliked it w/o invalidating their dislike (*sincere here btw*)
  • if nothing else, it's a damn shame that ImDrag's best song is a tiny, hidden bonus track
