And now I'm annoyed because I can't remember what magazine it was. I know that the specific issue was bigger than normal and had GT2 on the front. Also they had an article comparing the customer service in stores to certain TV characters for some reason.

It's interesting...by the time I used Windows 7 for a few months, I felt like I was going backwards when I had to use XP. There were so many niggling annoyances in XP that were fixed in 7, and so many little conveniences in 7 that weren't in XP.
But...I don't really feel that way with 10 vs. 7? I still use Windows 7 on a regular basis at school, but I very rarely find myself missing anything from 8 or 10. The only feature from 8 that I really miss when I use 7 is the little quick access menu you get when you right-click on the Start button, and even that really only felt like a hack someone added to compensate for the Start screen in 8 being junk.
Among the most prominent Japanese composers (although I use the word 'Japanese' superfluously, as even the most well-known American composers are barely competent at best), one in particular stands out to the enlightened video game soundtrack consumer. His name: Yasunori Mitsuda. For the record, this is not to undermine the amazing works of other incredibly talented video game composers such as Uematsu-san or Sakuraba-san, but to highlight the unique, almost celto-tropic music (the word music is an understatement) that Yasunori Mitsuda has been composing for years. It would be sheer ignorance to deny that the Chrono Cross soundtrack is anything but the magnum opus of video game music; its lilting and oftentimes hauntingly peaceful guitar melodies soothe all but the most savage of breasts while its tense battle themes and mysterious donjon tunes ignite a blazing passion that can be quenched only by the video game's profound story and gameplay. It is a wonder that anyone can listen to anything besides video game musical compositions after listening to Mitsuda-san's immensely powerful soundtrack, but given that the primitive thuds of hip hop are America's current choice of 'music' (I use the term music liberally), once can see little hope in the mass appreciation of Mitsuda-san's work.
There is, perhaps, only one medium of art that matches the excellence of video games and that is (obviously) visual kei. Combining absolutely exquisite j-rock and j-pop, sprinkled with hints of video game melodies, with the pyrotechnic visual flare that the Japanese are known for, visual kei takes its viewers on a rollercoaster ride of lights, fanfare, and music that even Beethoven could tap his toes to. Would that I were Japanese, (though under careful scrutiny, it appears my geneology tree does in fact show signs of a Japanese presence) I too would participate in this art of the 21st century and even perhaps venture onto the visual kei stage myself. It is no surprise that the impotent minds of Western society cannot fully grasp the total splendor of visual kei and instead choose to squandor their time listening to rap and country "music".

I find it interesting that people associate How The Grinch Stole Christmas with Dr. Seuss's signature brand of nonsense words...when he actually didn't use any in the original book.
There are some nonsense words in the cartoon, yes, but the book is written entirely in standard English.

NITPICKER: But Centie, what about "Grinch"? That's not a real word!
ME: It's the character's name. Proper names don't count.
NITPICKER: Well also, he refers to a chimney as a "chimbley"!
ME: Yeah, so he could rhyme with "nimbly". That's a nonsense word, I guess, but it's not really in the same category as "Great Big Electro-Who-Cardio-Shnoox". Besides, it's kind of endearing that even the beloved Dr. Seuss had to fudge rhyming sometimes.

there's was that tv show where someone called in because their daughter had a picture of Sans on her phone and they were worried it was satanic or something

some guy at work yesterday was talking about Undertale, which proves that knowledge of it exists outside of the internet.
interesting
You should play it, IMO.
It's a cute and short game. Can be beaten in 6 hours relatively easily, even if you're awful at dodging stuff. And it has an amazing soundtrack, which I know you can appreciate.

It took me a fair bit longer than that to actually complete the game to my satisfaction, but I do still agree.
it's also funny because the idea of "the" deconstruction (?) being inextricable from "the self" makes as little sense as any of his other examples. it is randall after all
he's just bolted together three ridiculously broad concepts and said 'aha alll these three things are interlinked' but with zero context or anything. it sounds like the kind of nonsense someone in a first-year theory seminar on derrida would trot out when they hadn't been listening to anything and the tutor asks them a question. it sounds like someone talking out of their ass basically
(admittedly *i* initially thought it was convincing due to misunderstanding the material, but i'm not a grad student and sunn wolf is, so you should listen to him on this)
i do get way too touchy about 'anyone can fake litcrit' i guess
probably it's true to a point, you can feign understanding of it probably more easily than you can something more mathy, especially if the person you're talking to also doesn't really understand the material, or is at least self-conscious about there being stuff they don't know
first i will say that i broadly agree with naneys post in the other thread about flexible/inflexible terminology but think of it this way: 'anyone can fake litcrit' you could read as 'anyone can do litcrit without putting in work/effort and by just winging it'. well it is also true that anyone can make art without.putting in effort just by winging it, but this is not seen as a bad thing by most. i think that if anyone can be a.critic then yknow, great! question then is why do we see things as fake litcrit? honestly reading the postmodernist essay generator stuff, yes it sounds like it could be a genuine essay, but it sounds like a bad and confusing one. so it follows that not everyone can fake litcrit well. and what is so bad about 'fake' litcrit anyway? maybe it didn't take the effort to make but duchamp's urinal didn't take much effort in and of itself to put in an art gallery either? and if it's good fake litcrit then how do we tell that it's fake anyway? is this whole post actually fake litcrit in disguise?
I so had this coming.
To be fair, though, bad litcrit does read like that sometimes, in that you can't tell whether the terms are being intentionally misused or not.

Wake up, Geo.
at the time he'd only heard about it from a friend in meatspace who was into it
someone posted a clip of it, maybe Calica?
why can't i think
