SubponticatePoster posted:And ELO definitely had a disco-ish phase; see the soundtrack for Xanadu, which was riding the dying gasp of the style. It was just disco on roller skates. Xanadu is one of the best bad movies of all time. Olivia Newton-John as a roller-skating Terpischore? Swann from The Warriors as an rear end in a top hat LP cover art enlargement specialist? Gene Kelly being a better dancer than Ms. Newton-John, in his eighties? Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quinones (Ozone from Breakin') showing up to dance in the finale, which features a swing band and a new wave band playing at the same time? Yes, all these things, and more. And ELO definitely dipped into disco before shuffling along into the terminal, contractually-obligated, prog-pop period. In addition to the Xanadu soundtrack, it's right there as a vile pun in the title of 1979's "Discovery"

I actually saw Xanadu in the theater as a small child and thought it was just loving magic. And I have no intention of ever revisiting it because I don't need that particular memory ruined by good taste. As far as Jack goes, I did like her character but those bizarre straps just always bugged me. I think you could swap those out for some kind of form-fitting black nylon looking thing somewhere down the road. Yeah I probably put too much thought into what my teammates were wearing in these games.

SubponticatePoster posted:I agree with everything in this post. I own Xanadu on DVD. I've heard it described as "so bad it's mesmerizing" and I concur (I've also heard it called "the movie that killed Gene Kelley"). I once watched it while on acid and it didn't really seem any different than when I watched it sober; it's that kind of movie. Also during the big finale one of the skaters loving biffs it right in front of ONJ and she didn't miss a beat, gotta give her props for that since there's no way she didn't see it. I swear I'll shut up about musicals from the twilight of disco after this, but if you haven't already, you owe it to yourself to watch the Village People's "Can't Stop The Music". Rollerskating pre-Police Academy Steve Gutenberg in tight white jeans. Bruce Jenner in cutoffs and a crop-top. The "YMCA" sequence, which is more homoerotic than actual gay porn. The biker's a capella rendition of "Danny Boy". The deeply bizarre, "darkly erotic", Halston-styled Milkshake sequence (sung by the construction worker). The finale which is just the chorus of one song for 17 minutes while an endless glitter rain falls, because I guess no one could come up with an actual ending, what with all the cocaine. It's hilarious and amazing, but not as good as Xanadu. mdxi fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Jun 9, 2016 |

The 70s were all kinds of hosed up in magical ways that could not be replicated today. In a lot of ways it was much more permissive and subversive.

When I said ABBA was as much disco as ELO, I did not mean to imply that ELO was not disco. It just happens to be uncommonly musical disco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glLkNo60t3w

 Getting the blues The Drink Blue Sun Beach Bum 2oz rum 1/2 oz blue curaco Sprite Add rum and Sprite to a glass with ice. Pour curaco on top, don't stir. Simple version: This is really goddamn simple, if you don't have curaco rum and Sprite will do. The Drinking Game Drink every time someone mentions Archangel The Episode Joined again by Skoolmunkee, we chat a bit with our new addition. Then head off to Omega to recruit our last crewmember of the first batch. It's some dude named Archangel. We don't know much about him except he's a Turian vigilante who's been raising hell all over Omega and pissed off the merc groups there enough to get them to work together in taking him down. Along the way we sabotage a robit, get shot in the face, and have a very sweary conversation with a Batarian. This is the first part of a two part mission. Video got kinda long so I split it up. Since we now have access to all the crewmembers we're gonna get for a bit, I'll now start taking votes on who you want for missions. Since Bioware did away with decryption skills we can take whomever. Our list is: Mordin Jack Grunt Joey Miranda Zaeed Kasumi Archangel

I'm a nerd who's still mad three games later that they did away with an actually different system in a shooter and gave us ammo again, and Also, it's a bit weird watching mass effect played by someone else, it feels like stepping into a this weird comic-style parallel universe where Shepard looks wrong (she has the same haircut and voice, but her face is all wrong, and also she's supposed to be black) and makes slightly different decisions, but it basically turns out exactly the same anyway.

Can't you find other things to do while drunk that don't involve repeatedly traumatizing your neighbours? Be a good neighbour and go fight a hobo or something. Bonus points if it ends up on LiveLeak.

The '10s are hosed up, but more in a gory trainwreck kind of way. Even the drugs are more terrifying. If you want magic, convert to Wicca or go robotripping. My main interest in the '70s is comparing levels of technology. mdxi posted:Xanadu is one of the best bad movies of all time. Olivia Newton-John as a roller-skating Terpischore?

I've never seen Xanadu. Do I need booze to watch it? Back on topic: I have the trilogy in a box set and I'm currently ploughing through ME1 as Male Paragon. It's frustrating poo poo if you don't have the exact squadmates for a given mission and being biotic only marginally helps matters. Also, gently caress Noveria with an EVE doomsday weapon.

Since Bioware did away with decryption skills we can take whomever. Our list is: I see you're using the same amount of  suspense as you did with the archangel reveal.Although drawing the attention to Garrus' condition at the end of this mission made me realize something, and that is that this would have been a drat good way to put robocop into our party, or the setting for that matter. In a series that loves the fight between man and machine, there aren't really a whole lot of cyborgs with characterization, and none of the few present are good guys. You've got what? Saren, The elusive man's creepy blue eye, that guy from 3 that everyone loves to hate, and husks I guess. There just aren't a whole lot of them.

Butts: Garrus, buddy, what've you been up to the last few years? Garrus: Oh, you know, some knitting, a little skiing, brutally murdering people with a sniper rifle. Butts: Well that sounds ni.... wait, what? Garrus: Don't worry Shepard, they were all bad people *nods* Butts: Uh, okay. Just a silly question... how many of them had my face? Garrus: Ha ha, Shep. You're funny. Garrus: 60%, tops. Shepard:  Shepard: You're walking ahead of me from now on. Not negotiable.

Wasn't expecting this section to look that easy here. It's hard because most people got Garrus immediately after Mordin but doing a few missions and getting a few levels first takes the bite out of most of it.
