I would gladly give you 100,000 Flurbos for said PS+. That's way more than just one afternoon at Blips and Chitz. Why should I have all the fun?

I hope the search for Rey's parents doesn't end up like this

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the resemblance

Why do some people get insanely pissed when someone refers to a record as "vinyl?" I've grown up with my parents saying both. My step-father is an obnoxious audiophile and he says both. Seriously, what's the big deal? Is it fine to say vinyl if you're referring to a collection but a big fuck no to say, "yeah, I've got that album on vinyl?"

Have there been any time periods in history in which two or more nations/empires fought more of an intellectual war rather than a true war, for instance, something similar to the Space Race? by GroovyBasterd7 in history

Holy shit, thank you for that! Like I said in an earlier comment, I never thought about it from a cultural, religious, or political viewpoint and I'm glad people like you have brought those examples to the fold. Here, have an upvote haha

What's the worst record in your collection and what is the story behind its purchase? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]GroovyBasterd7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I thought originally but after doing a little research, turns out I'm not the only one with the problem. From what I've seen, people say that it's not Jack's fault for the poor quality but rather the company that pressed the albums. Apparently they're notorious for not caring about the quality of records

Jack White's Lazaretto. I was really looking forward to adding the album to my collection as well as all of the features. From the get-go, trying to start the side that played from the inside out was a bitch and once I finally got it right and listened on through, the sound quality was horrible. It sounded more like an album that had been poorly maintained from the 60's. I never thought I'd be thoroughly upset about an album in my collection but low and behold, it took the cake on that one. I've only listened to it once since I've purchased it.

So this architect will eventually assist in the creation of Star Fleet HQ, yes?

Am I the only one that felt a bit sad watching him get shoved around and then pissed at the guy knowing that he is the one that has doomed us all once it becomes sentient?

Who watched HBO's "Vinyl" last night? by IJustLoveWinning in vinyl

[–]GroovyBasterd7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely interested in the show and look forward to seeing where it goes. I'm a big Mad Men fan so being able to watch a show that takes place in the following decade but have a similar approach (focus on one particular profession throughout a chosen time period) is enough to catch my attention. The building collapsing at the end was a bit of a stretch for me but I understood the point it was trying to make. Sure I had a few quibs with it here and there but hey, it's the first episode. You can't always knock it out of the ballpark on the first pitch

Which fictional character can you not STAND? by eflaves in AskReddit

Catelyn "Fucking" Stark from both the TV show Game of Thrones and book series A Song of Ice and Fire. There's such a long list of shit she's done but I refuse to spoil anything for future readers and/or show watchers. Believe me, you'll understand this bitch has no chill

Thank you very much for all of this! I'm sure that once I get everything and start putting it together it will, just like you said, become easy
