Sage has a pretty big consistency problem if you ask me. Sometimes he can be on the ball and really funny and other times his stuff is just kinda there. I think that might be because there are a lot of bad OVAs that are dull as poo poo as opposed to interestingly bad so you run into a problem with what the hell can you actually say about it?

Nor have I been to SA (or Tas, or WA, or NT, or more than the barest scrap of QLD). I'm a Bad Australian. But yes, Australia has some very nice natural areas, which deserve to be explored. Just take your phone and plenty of water and make sure somebody knows where you're going. Well, you're certainly missing out. Regional Victoria is gorgeous.

That is the thing about Lawful stuff. It's not necessarily about following the law, it's about following a code. I played a LG fighter that was completely broken following him losing everything. However he followed his own code of justice and was played as being a fundamentally decent person that understood wrong and right but just was way left of center. It's just like with Chaotic Neutral, the D&D manuals just made the mistake of saying that it was the alignment of lunatics. A CN character is someone that really just does what they want without actively being malicous or heroic about it. But nerds see "A chaotic neutral character follows his whims" and they become "LOLMONKEYCHEESERANDOM" It's kinda funny that CN gets played like that since the alignment guide even says that they are unpredictable but not totally random. Another character that I played for a while was a noblewoman who was guided completely by ego and was utterly selfish, she ended up saving a town because she talked them into making a grand statue for her when she returned.

The Vosgian Beast posted:It's kind of impressive that Bruno Mars had both a "Lazy Song" and "Uptown Funk" in him. He is large, and contains multitudes. It's so weird that he doesn't really have a personality unless he's playing a homage to older songs from the 70s and 80s. Treasure was pretty fantastic also and that was early R&B style.

Metal Loaf posted:I'm most keen to see him cover "Our House" by Madness. You can't really justify Madness, sure Our House was their only song to chart in the US but they've had ten top five hits in the UK . It would be like doing Wonderwall by Oasis, it was their only hit in the US but they were megastars in the UK. EDIT: I was going to use Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve but it turns out that wasn't even a top ten hit in the US.

That's very difficult to justify. If it was just they had one other song that did really well then that would be fine but not to the degree of ten over five years.

Mokinokaro posted:He's mentioned that one before when talking about how the late 90s pop music starting getting really upbeat after grunge faded. I definitely wouldn't be surprised if he covers it in the future. Lit had a couple of tracks that did well on the alternative charts. Apparently only hit 51 with Own Worst Enemy though. EDIT: I would like to see a OHW on Steal My Sunshine though. I don't think I could think of a better song that summed up the late 90s in popular music except for You Get What You Give. Edit 2: I'd also love for him to do Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground. I still love that song so goddamn much. EDIT the Third: He might also be able to do Torn by Natalie Imbruglia. It was prevented from charting in the US at the peak of its popularity thanks to it not having a physical release over there and peaked at 42 long after its popularity had faded. However it was number 1 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart for 11 weeks so I'd classify that as a hit. The last edit I promise: I was also going to suggest a Hunters & Collectors song but they charted better in the US than in Australia. They had two top ten hits in the US while they had none in Australia. Testekill fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Jack Gladney posted:I'm afraid to ask, but what was the thing with Mara Wilson? I know she did some videos with Lindsay Ellis that seemed to go pretty well, and it seem like maybe Wilson was trying to make herself into a youtube video person. The Critic made some jokes about hating Mara Wilson in some of his videos and his fans went overboard and made her life poo poo. His way of apologising is letting her get one up on him in one of his reviews but he never actually came out and said to his fans "holy poo poo guys, I have no problem with Mara Wilson as a person so could you leave her alone?" That seems to be a common reoccurring situation, Doug doesn't call his fans out on their poo poo. Mara Wilson isn't even trying to be a youtube person, she works for Publicolor and is a writer on the side. Testekill fucked around with this message at 03:31 on Mar 8, 2015 |

Jack Gladney posted:That is appalling. Mara Wilson hasn't even been in a movie since 1995. Why would these horrible loving nerds go harass a private citizen for being a bad kid actor? And she was great in that video with Lindsay Ellis' gang where they ate dunkaroos, by which I mean she was a normal person with funny things to say about Fruit by the Foot. Her last movie was in 2000 in the Thomas the Tank Engine movie with Doug did review. He also talked about Matilda briefly in his video about "movies I hate that other people really like" where he hung poo poo on her so it was one of these two which caused it all. But yeah she's seems like a really nice, well adjusted woman and I just felt so bad for her life being made hell thanks to a screechy nerd on the internet.

BigRed0427 posted:The Main Event this year is going to be Roman Reigns VS Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title. Roman is considered the heir apparent to be the new top guy in the WWE since John Cena is starting to look at retirement. He is someone who can be that guy and has every advantage, including being related to The Rock. The problem is that he has only been wrestling for 3-4 years and it shows. He's not terrible but not someone who can pull out the kind of match the main event at Wrestlemania needs to be. THe WWE has also failed to make him look like the powerhouse he needs to be. Don't forget them deliberately making the last couple of people in the ring that the fans cared about look like poo poo. Big Show does his knockout punch that looks like it can barely bruise a sponge cake then they're just dumped out of the ring slowly.

Like you'd expect them to be a alternative rock band but instead most of their more successful songs in Australia were pop-electronica. I'd also love Tomorrow by Silverchair since they were like 15 when it topped the charts and they look back on it unfavourably. Testekill fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Mar 30, 2015 |

Also apparently Pure Massacre & Anthem for the year 2000 were top 20 on the Billboard mainstream rock charts.

Infamous Sphere posted:Other than that, another great one is Horror Movie by Skyhooks. However, I don't listen to pop radio much so I'm not sure if I'm forgetting about some really odd Australian one hit wonders. Skyhooks had like five top ten hits in a row so they're certainly not OHWs. The Divinyls would probably count since the only had the one massive hit in I Touch Myself while Boys in Town was only a hit in Australia and Pleasure & Pain was only a moderate hit outside of Australia. Alternatively you could consider the Angels because they had an iconic rock track in "Am I ever gonna see your face again" but nobody really remembers their songs that were much more succesful on the charts.
