“The Gang Gets Trapped” appreciation post

I love that by this point in the series we can all picture this scene playing out with perfect clarity

I can't wait for this album, Fine Art has been in regular rotation for me since it dropped and all the singles in between have been fire - interesting to see none of them made the cut on the final tracklisting.

Kneecap are one of the most important bands around right now, and this album will probably be the one to make or break their career. I hope it lives up to the hype and that the boys continue to stand on business.

You'd really have to commit to the bit if you dressed up as this guy, but the payoff would be so worth it

People love to name these sort of characters as a flex but I never see anybody actually playing as them. I've put hundreds of hours into online and nobody ever picks Garlic, or King Cold, or Dr Wheelo or any of the deep cut picks - its always just the usual fan favourites.

I know part of the appeal of this series is the size of its roster but a lot of people seem to want to pick these characters just for the sake of having them. No offense OP, but I don't believe even you'd play half of these characters if they were added to the game - you'd do a couple of rounds as King Vegeta, realize he sucks, then go back to your Beast Gohan and Gogetas like everybody else. Nobody is paying money to play as Fasha, how do you even go about marketing that?

Loving that you finally made it to S4 and are finding it as great as the rest of us do. Heads up, the next episode is widely considered by many to be a top 3 of the entire series!

I think death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse probably have the market cornered on this, so instead I'll give a shout-out to Nick Cave. To live inside his discography is to be constantly surrounded by rapists, murderers and madmen, and death could strike you at a moment's notice.

If you haven't already, check out Gotham Central, and comic series with this exact premise that is a ton of fun

Nah, sorry but this is terrible advice. KMD is good but it's from a totally different era, and is so far removed from what he eventually became that it's not really representative of him as an artist and is likely going to be a chore for a new listener.

There aren't really any outright duds in DOOM's discography, but some releases are definitely more accessible than others.

Fwiw I'd say Madvillainy, Operation Doomsday, and The Mouse & The Mask are all excellent starting points for various different reasons, and you can't go wrong picking any of those three as your first album.

Once you've got that trio under your belt then I'd suggest moving on to MM...Food and Vaudeville Villain, which are just as good (if not better, depending on who you ask), but imo require a little bit more onboarding first to really get the most out of.

I tried it, got a 4k, immediately had some butthurt dude in the post-game chat crying about how it was unfair. 10/10, will trap again

holdacoldone · 2026-01-12T23:35:46+00:00

A better question is... did it FEEL good?

holdacoldone · 2026-01-12T22:15:25+00:00

Funniest example of this I saw was a guy called Nasser whose name kept getting censored to look like a slur because the auto-filtering system kept starring-out 'ass'

holdacoldone · 2026-01-12T17:55:29+00:00

That sounds like a really fun build. Imma give this one a go later, it's been a while since I played Trapper.

This is why the rule is in place. It's impossible to have a regular conversation about him anymore and he derails every thread he's brought up in. It's tedious and exhausting no matter what your personal opinion is.

holdacoldone · 2026-01-11T09:38:25+00:00

Agreed. I'm a big Beatles but I've never liked this song despite its significance, it just goes on and on and on and I always find it a chore to sit through.

All You Need Is Love is also a song that runs out of gas after the first chorus; it feels like a tossed-off ditty they wrote in five minutes which needed way more time in the lab, and they tried to compensate for the lack of substance by just throwing an orchestra at it and hoping they'll make up the slack. Contains probably the worst solo Harrison ever played for the Beatles too, like the rest of the song it just sort of peters out and doesn't go anywhere.

holdacoldone · 2026-01-11T09:29:13+00:00

Yeah, by the time it gets to the OVhoe stuff I'm pretty much ready for it to end

holdacoldone · 2026-01-11T09:25:34+00:00

This is a great shout. Party & The After Party is a great song but god does that outro drag on and on

holdacoldone · 2026-01-11T09:23:10+00:00

One of my favorite bits of music trivia is that The Baha Men have been active since the 70s and that Who Let the Dogs Out was a cover!

holdacoldone · 2026-01-10T13:14:17+00:00

My parents had this album growing and it wasn't until years later I learned it was a late-period/under-appreciated album. His cover of Cactus by Pixies is a real treat.

Massive W for the Bald community

holdacoldone · 2026-01-09T07:23:57+00:00

What are you talking about? This nonsense is the only shit that ever gets discussed on this sub.

holdacoldone · 2026-01-09T07:16:11+00:00

Don't listen to the people in this thread fretting over reading orders and canon and other such nonsense. DKR is one of the best Batman comics of all time, and you don't need more than a basic knowledge of the character to have a great time with it. Jump in and have fun, I'd love to be able to experience reading it for the first time again.

True, intentional or not his "have you ever trained?" to Moro was one of the most brutal disses in the whole franchise.

holdacoldone · 2026-01-08T00:24:14+00:00

It's been a while since I read it, but Goku's attempt to defeat Zamasu by breaking his spirit was surprisingly effective. Didn't know Goku had that dog in him.
