I was jamming some of The Alchemist's old albums the other day while on the bus and walking between classes. I never heard much of his stuff before like 2010, so it was pretty dope to see how talented he was back then. Some really awesome beats under some good raps from some surprising features. A lot of Prodigy on these tracks which is always a plus. Speaking of Nas, here's one of my favorites off 1st Infantry: Also been jamming this a couple times for the first time in yeeeeeears: Also listened to the entirety of Eric B. & Rakim's Follow The Leader. Such a classic album.

I really dig the new OP. MUCH better than the one they just had. I couldn't get into that one at all.

Ohhhh, ok. So it's kind of similar to NaNoWriMo. I meant to ask what exactly Inktober is. My drawing is shite, so I won't participate, but I'll be happy to see what you produce. Great start so far!

Is that the one that's free on the eShop?

That's funny, because Hemispheres is my favorite, and AFTK is probably a close third at worst. Xanadu is actually one of the first non-radio songs I heard from Rush, so that one is a classic that always gets me. It was also the first epic song I listened to on acid, and that was a beautiful journey.

Had to drive to a town about an hour away, and spent the ride listening to these gems. The full album, of course. Think I listened to that one almost two times the whole way through before I swapped to Moving Pictures. Being the first Rush album I own e and probably their most popular, I had forgotten how damn good that album is, from start to finish. Really love the sound of "Witch Hunt": Also been reliving some of my high school thrash days with Rumpelstiltskin Grinder: Just good, heavy thrash bordering on death metal. They also have a theme called "Criminal Thrash" where most of the lyrical topics are based around a fictional crime organization.

Ohhhhhh shit! My boy! Even though my mancrush subsided on him a while ago, John Morrison was one of my new favs when I got back into wrestling in 2010. Didn't catch much of his Impact stuff, but I liked what he did as Johnny Mundo in Lucha Underground.

To this day, I'm still surprised they haven't utilized 3.0(Ever-Rising, just in case) more frequently, even in a jobbing capacity. A solid team with some decent charisma. Still need to watch the first half hour(assuming that's where the Lee/Dijakovic match happened), but overall this was another strong show. Riddle/Dain was tight.

The Fiend fucking with the production might be my favorite small detail of WWE right now.

I would love if they came out with a Joy-con that had the d-pad of the Lite, but I guess there's not a lot of economical use in it considering it's supposed to double as a button pad when you use it separately. But there aren't a lot of games where that's necessary.

I think the only new anime I've properly watched this season would be Dr. Stone and Black Clover. I've been watching Demon Slayer, but I'm only like 3 episodes in, so that's obviously not current season stuff. Between the two, I definitely give the nod to Dr. Stone.

I actually saw KRS-One at The Gathering of all places earlier this summer. He was good as I had hoped and better. We have to arrange a piece for my guitar ensemble, and I ultimately chose this to do. But I've been listening to the Undertake OST because of it. Also had a good jam with Parliament's Funkentelechy vs. The Placebo Syndrome. Hands down one of the best funk albums of all time.

From what I understand, the second hour was only on the Network this week due to the Suits finale.

I'm hoping things like this and Sami playing manager to Shinsuke is a sign of things to come.

Man, after killing for SummerSlam, I whiffed by not getting my predictions in on time. I was holding of to not spoil the winner of Gable/Shane, only to find out the KOTR final was happening on RAW, not Clash of Champions.

God, I fucking love The Fiend.

When I was like, 8 or 9, I rented Parasite Eve. It was the first time I actually went through with playing a horror game, and I was really digging it. For some reason, only hours into the game, I let my friend convince me that the game was too scary, and that I couldn't play it anymore, so I returned it to the rental store. To this day, I've still never picked it back up, and I've regretted it ever since.

That's an awesome first memory. While I don't fully remember it, I apparently always tried to play my Dad's copy of Space Harrier when he was playing. So 4th Christmas, they got me a Super Nintendo. It came with Super Mario World, of course, but the other earliest games I remember we're Mega Man X and The Lion King. Those games formed my gaming foundation, and I was hooked. Especially with SMW and MMX. Been a gamer ever since. Shout out to video games being the reason I learned how to read(aka my parents got sick of reading things for me).

Now THAT'S how you do a 100th episode.

((Posted this at The Center, but since some don't really go there anymore, figured I may as well transplant it)) Been meaning to update this for a few months now, but never got around to it, so here we go. 1.) :snes: Super Mario World 2.) Hollow Knight (99%) 3.) Castlevania: Rondo of Blood (100%) 4.) Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (200.6%) Hollow Knight was a long project. I had played it fairly consistently for like 2 months until I hit the Trial of Fools and dropped it after many hours wasted on failed attempts. Eventually picked it back up this year to just go against my nature and explore the rest of the game. Ended up completing most of the base game. Finished the story, including the full boss sequence(going up to fighting The Radiance), found all areas, all but 3 of the charms, and finally turned around and beat The Trial of Fools. Now that I'm done with that, I basically need to comb through every area to look for what I'm missing to 100%, and then at another time complete the DLC. I'm probably going to do that all in one chunk, because defeating The Radiance was such a satisfying ending that I'm ready to put it down for now Rondo of Blood was a pretty quick feat. Once I had the option of playing as Maria, I was able to cheese the whole game. She makes that game stupid easy. But I went back and defeated bosses as Richter for posterity, and I actually finished the last couple levels as Richter and came back and beat Dracula with Maria. I love the presentation and music of this game, and having the different character was refreshing. But the movement feels unnecessarily stilted in comparison to Castlevania IV and Bloodlines. I love the old school Castlevania playstyle, but the art style and modern aesthetic didn't blend well with the rigid controls for Richter, so that made it a little harder to appreciate this game. Also, the bosses are a farcry from most that came before it. Symphony of the Night is just beautiful. Right up my alley. Big ass map with a lot of reward for exploration, a bit of XP grinding, and combat that is increasingly satisfying. I know some people dog on this one for introducing RPG elements and arguably taking away the physical challenge of playing the game in favor of the false feeling of getting better at the game through power improvements. That argument might be fair, but for me, it doesn't ever take away from the game being truly challenging. If you manipulate the ways to break this game, it can be a bit rough, but there are still many times I found myself dying in a frustrating stretch of hallway before a save point. Or getting that raw sense of accomplishment every time I vanquished a boss. The movement is truly the best, especially once you acquire the double jump. You feel like you can zip and flip your way around the whole castle in no time. I love how much it borrows from elements of the previous games(even Bloodlines!) while creating it's own sense of being, something that most of the Castlevanias before Bloodlines struggled with. And that soundtrack just kept me rocking the whole time. Completed the 200.6%, but I still have a couple trophies I have to unlock. One of them requires you to encounter all the enemies to complete a bestiary, but I apparently missed a tiny enemy that only appears as a spawn for a boss, so I'll have to play through the game as Alucard again to do that. With this and the fully completed Rondo of Blood trophy list, I think I'm at like 92%? I'll get the platinum a year down the road or something. I can't help but feel there should be one or two more games that I'm missing, but I've started a few that I haven't completed yet, so that might be contributing.

I'm confused on what exactly this thing is supposed to be...

Yeah, I assume it has to do with minor programming issues or something. Probably easier to make it a separate app altogether than to update the NES one. Played a 20-40 minutes of a few different games to get my nostalgia kicks/try ones I never did. Pretty sure Super Metroid got the largest chunk of that time.

Chances are you'll hear the songs and be like, "Oh, fuck, that's Rush?!"
