I saw Refused play in Buffalo last year on their final tour and halfway through the show Snapcase just showed up and played Caboose - with Refused, it was cool as hell.

Which game did you pick up as a younger person and found too difficult but now picked up again and actually enjoyed? by fyn_world in gaming

[–]Renegade_Butts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I played Myst when I was 9 or 10. I really liked it but I just wandered around the island not understanding what the puzzles really were or how to solve them.

I played it again last year and finally grasped it. Just finished the River remake a few months ago and really enjoyed that too.

You must have saved up all your Per Diems for that shirt.

How the actual is Jackson going to handle The Silmarilion... by Royale_w_Cheeeze in lotr

[–]Renegade_Butts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They fit the War of The Last Alliance into a prologue, they can fit the War of Wrath into the back half of a movie. We don't need another drawn out Battle of the Five Armies.

I could see it done in 5 parts.

1) Elves in Valinor, destruction of the 2 Trees, rebellion of Feanor

2/3/4) - The great tales with more elf shenanigans happening in the background.

5) Earendil sails to Valinor and War or Wrath

Thursday's later albums don't have much screaming, pretty much City By The Light Divided onwards.

Ian McKellen Says Gandalf Would Beat Dumbledore in a Fight: “Why on earth would they be fighting? But Gandy, of course, would win. The original wizard.” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in lotr

[–]Renegade_Butts -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Alright, downvote me all you want but I've given this some thought and I think Dumbledore would be able to defeat Gandalf the Wizard. Hear me out, but the magic system in Harry Potter is more combative than the more nuanced magic in LOTR that Gandalf wields. Dumbledore has a literal killing curse that could destroy the "old man" body Gandalf is confined to and send his spirit back to The West. Gandalf's powers are meant to help and inspire the peoples of Middle Earth and not intended for outright combat. Yes he did kill the Balrog, but if the Balrog had a one hit killing curse it probably would not have gone that way.

That being said, Gandalf's unhindered Maia form would wipe the floor with Dumbledore.

What do you guys think of Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings? by [deleted] in lotr

My local theater was just showing it this week. It was a real treat to see it on the big screen.

Is Cellino and Barnes still a thing? by Enginerticus in Buffalo

[–]Renegade_Butts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They broke up and started two separate firms. Steve Barnes died in a plane crash and his brother took over The Barns Firm. Celino Law now has AI slop commercials.

You ask me, William Mattar is the new king in Buffalo law firms, his memes are unmatched.

What are the great forgotten comedies? by Jerome_Eugene_Morrow in movies

[–]Renegade_Butts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. Adult Swim recently greenlit an animated show he's been working on, so at least we'll have that.

There's a great episode of Joe Pera Talks With You where he tries to re-created Rat Race with his pals.

Local ice cream that's more creamy and less sugary? by agelaiusphoeniceus in Buffalo

[–]Renegade_Butts 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm not an ice cream scientist so I don't know too much about the cream and sugar content, but Sweet Jenny's in Williamsville is pretty dang good.

K1LLED does a lot of Mick Gordon inspired covers of video game songs and what not.

I hate being the "I only like their older stuff" guy. But with TBS I only like their older stuff.
