Poison Mushroom posted:I'm just saying that art doesn't have to be timeless or have universal appeal to be good. If it did, then satire would by definition never be good. Good satire can be timeless. Rabelais and Swift still hold up really, really well with A Modest Proposal remaining one on the finest satirical works in existence.

Surprisingly, a shock video was one of the better satires of the coverage of 9/11.

It's a really good city for beer though, if you're into that.

Yes and no. The microbrew scene is pretty nice, but the hosed up blue laws make beer pretty expensive here. Most things cost double what they would in any other state.

And we moved from Iowa, which have the most relaxed alcohol laws in the union, probably.

Oh yeah the blue laws are awful but you've got some of the best beer bars in the world. Depends on if you're into drinking out and about or at home.

Also, have I told you all about the glories of anime? It's really good art, if you think about it. Watch more anime. In honor of the day, I recommend the greatest epic of all time: the Legend of Galactic Heroes.

6 packs of microbrews are nearly impossible to come by. You'd likely have to buy 6 individual beers at a bottle shop, which will end up running you something like 24 if it's good stuff.

Yeah. Generally, I'll just buy stuff that is more widely available since actual 6-packs of beer will run around 10 - 15 bucks, which is vastly more affordable and doesn't destroy my bank account. Or we just head over to the state run liquor store since things are priced reasonably and we like wine.

Hey, guys, it has nothing to do with Mafia (as far as you know  ) but I'm running a CYOA. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3764459It's best described as "Weird West in Space" or, alternatively "Deadlands Meets Firefly".
