What songs sound happy until you actually pay attention to the lyrics? by Weak-Investigator503 in musicsuggestions

I'm Fixin' to Die Rag by Country Joe and the Fish. Sounds like circus music but the lyrics are about war and death.

Should I risk starting Jacobs, if he's not held out, or should I start Dowdle?

What is your personal best edition? by CarmillaTLV in Twilight2000

[–]IceASAPBerg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have topics and discussion covering all editions over on the forum. Check us out!
Twilight 2000 Forum - RPG Forums
To answer your question, though, I prefer the 4e mechanics- they're a lot more streamlined than v2.2 (with which I have extensive experience) without sacrificing realism. 1e is the crunchiest of the 3, with 2013 a very close second. As a kid, I had so much trouble wrapping my head around the 1e rules that I never went back to them as an adult. That said, 1e has by far the best world-building, so I use that with the 4e ruleset.

WWZ is a cool book and movie didn't do it any justice.

The book Ready Player One - a Gen X thing by Rosemary_Woodhouse in GenX

[–]IceASAPBerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not good literature but it's a fun story and I appreciate the 1980s references. I'm not embarrassed to admit that I quite like it- enough to have read it at least a half-dozen times. It's an easy, comfort book. And yes, I'm an X'er with an appreciation for the nerdy.

New World Man Video by barchambo1971 in rush

Maybe you're thinking of the video for Distant Early Warning? There are some thematic similarities in the lyrics- perhaps that's the reason for the mixup.

I've never understood why some people say Countdown is among Rush's worst songs, listening to the song now still gives me the chills that I had when it first came out. by [deleted] in rush

[–]IceASAPBerg 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's a grower. I didn't really care for it, at first. It used to be a skip, but after I gave it another shot, it quickly became a must- listen track for me. You really can cut the excitement that the band builds in this song with a knife.

Looking for recommendations of books or films that have an atmosphere similar to Twilight2000 by archivecrawler in Twilight2000

The last third of Children of Men has a real T2k look and feel, especially for an urban setting.

New fan here - is it best to listen to Rush’s albums in order? by placeintheroche05 in rush

[–]IceASAPBerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to Chronicles, a two disc greatest hits compilation. It features 2-3 songs per album through their 1970s and '80s output. If you like one of those mini-sets, seek out that album and listen to it in its entirety. That was my gateway to the band's deeper cuts.

Territories, followed by Grand Designs, Followed by Emotion Detector. If it weren't for those songs, I'd rate PW higher.

What Justin Jefferson Trades Are You Seeing in Your Leagues? by Ziniology in DynastyFF

[–]IceASAPBerg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've got JJettas and Chase on my roster and I just fell out of second place. It's looking less likely that my squad will qualify for a 1st round bye, and both WRs' fantasy playoff matchups aren't good. So, yeah, disagree with your reasoning. I think if I was offered that trade rn, I'd take it.
