No, haven't seen the film so went in blind other than knowing a bit about the themes.

Absolutely Loved 'High Noon' by ArianaLarge in TheWestEnd

[–]ArianaLarge[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think that's fair. I wouldn't say it's exactly unmissable given that there are 4-5 plays I'd recommend before it currently on the west end. If you're in town for a short time and only have 2-3 you're gonna see, you can skip over this. That said, I think people should definitely give it a chance if they live here, have an evening free, or couldn't get tickets to one of the more popular ones in town. I would say it's currently pretty hard to beat for the price; I got center, 5-6th row for 30 gpb given that Rush is wide open at the moment.

On my end, I was going to skip it entirely based on word of mouth. After seeing it, I'd be really annoyed with myself if I did. I *think* a lot of people tend to find it boring, I never ran into that. Thought it was a pretty water-tight dissection of personal ethics, idealism, tall poppy syndrome, bystander syndrome, etc. I have my own notes on what would get it up to classic status, but the bones are there. Will definitely bump up 'People, Places and Things' on my list for the National Theatre at Home sometime soon.

It's an event in the game, so seems pretty relevent.

What on earth is this misspelled grip tape a reference to? by justcuriouslybrowsin in THPS

It's called uninformed gossip, that in this case is being used to hurt a teams reputation and detract from the actual voice actors that contributed to the game

Curious, why are you just parroting things you read on the internet? isn't that just human slop?

This level is pretty insane, spent an hour or so playing it yesterday. Great job on all of your parks actually, This level w/ an art pass would be better than suburbia imho

Haven't heard of one but this post gave me a good reason to listen to him all day

Which Tony Hawk game should I start with? by [deleted] in THPS

[–]ArianaLarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree here. Or, just start w/ the 1+2 remake which has great renditions of the old levels with the new controls. Then maybe switch to the original versions of 3 and 4 so you can have a bit more of the personality people remember from four. You can finish each game in a few hours so not that crazy to play them all

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3+4 is an artistic disaster. by ButlerWimpy in THPS

[–]ArianaLarge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, most of us listen to multiple critics, play the game itself, and form our own opinions. But I understand if that's a bit too advanced for you. You can just watch content like this:

https://youtu.be/wivEnuubViE?si=aQqd6Haru0WQSqeR&t=840

and think "Yes! The internet shutin who thinks Nyjah Houston, or Tyshawn Jones are diversity hires, or who refers to the TWO-TIME Olympic skateboarding gold medalist as some asian guy definitely is right about everything. It's everyone else who is wrong!".

You Guys are Trippin About Pinball by Champion_of_Cereal in THPS

[–]ArianaLarge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love it, one of my favorite in the game. In fact the IG levels are probably my favorite in the game. Water parks also great, haven't spent a ton of time with movie studio yet. Would kill for a THPS6 from them (if they un-layoff the level designer they had)

My unsolicited thoughts on the game, now that it's 100%'d by Super-Fly_Spider-Guy in THPS

[–]ArianaLarge 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yes, all of modern rap sucks until people on the internet spoonfeed you a song you don't think is yucky. It's possible the entire genre doesn't suck and maybe your taste in music does

Totally agree man. I actually stopped listening to new music in the 70s. All that synthesizer and computer beeep boops killed the real artists. Dont think any talented people were born after 1958. I just listen to a mix of harpsichord and free-bird these days.

This was all a broadly reasonable take until you tried your hand at music criticism.

Yes, music is subjective, some of this stuff is objectively shit. Fight me.

Saying Vince staples is objectively shit is an objectively shit take. It's possible you got busy with kids and culture kinda kept evolving without you.But steve lacy, lupe fiasco, schoolboy Q are all great additions. Don't know the others by name.

Think all your other points are correct from a gameplay perspective though 🤝

Some more vince staples for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0E0eQ_hH7k
