1. I think people don't like Marrakesh because it feels so disjointed. Here's a bustling marketplace, a Metal Gear Solid sneaky school zone, a riot/protest that's tiny, and the consulate itself is a quiet business building. Neat places, but they do not gel together.

I've played Hitman up through Marrakesh, and it was the first level that I had no desire to replay. I think this is exactly why I didn't care for it. (I've also seen people criticize the fact that the marketplace crowds seem like an interesting idea, but in practice don't really add that much to the gameplay. I think that's true too, because those crowds are completely separated from the two target areas.)

Marrakesh is fun for sniper challenges and side contracts, though. It seems like it'd be a better Splinter Cell level than a Hitman level though. Opposite of the India one.

Sometimes I fall asleep watching How It's Made. It's like the perfect combination of being interesting enough that if I don't sleep I'm not angry that it's on, and boring enough that it can lull me to sleep most of the time anyway :v:

It's that quiet soothe of the host. He is excited about how things are made but he keeps it almost completely contained, only occasionally slipping up and sounding mildly satisfied with automated goods manufacture for brief moments before reining it in.

Some friends of ours have a 5-year old kid who, no joke, screams at the top of her lungs in every social situation EXCEPT when they put on youtube videos of people unboxing My Little Pony figurines. The kid sits there just totally enamored by that poo poo while a pair of hands fumbles around trying to untie the little plastic wires. Totally blows my mind.

I don't understand the problem with that. It's a cheesy goofy kid's shown catchphrase in a cheesy goofy children's show based off a property where the protagonists were originally named Rock and Roll and were changed to "Mega Man"

If you're not expecting the new Mega Man cartoon to be a kid's cartoon then so be it but thinking that Mega Man even adapted 100% accurately wouldn't be a cheesy kid's cartoon is kind of shortsighted. At best it'd be closer to Astro Boy instead of Ben 10. (Since, uh, Mega Man is Astro Boy in Casshern cosplay.) Nobody is going to tell the story of the boy robot Mega Man fighting Cut Man, Guts Man and Dr. Wily and not have it be cheesy as poo poo.

Math videos are too interesting for me. I recommend listening to people unbox new games. That may be the most boring thing on youtube that is games related. Outside games, maybe scrapbook enthusiast channels?


It's a really good album! Something about the way they did the sound makes it feel "alive" in a way the previous albums did not, even though I very much enjoyed them as well.

Plastic Beach is my favorite album because I have to listen to all of it. I can't just listen to one song. I listend to some of the new Gorillaz song samples and Andromeda is loving great.

Ya know the stuff on their channel are full songs right? Not just the samples that leaked the other day.

Also, yeah Plastic Beach kicks rear end. I'd say Sweepstakes is the one song that sticks out to me as not being incredible, and even then it's still a pretty fun listen.
