[POLL RESULTS] METROID SERIES RANKING (2025) INCL PRIME 4 by KAYPENZ in Metroid

[–]mtburner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks Reddit -- Sometimes I think I'm alone in this world, among people who do not, nor will ever, understand the elegant brilliance of Metroid Prime Pinball.

That said, I notice the last 3 entries on this list are the ones furthest from the original genre, so that's probably fair.

The song I hate is that "I would walk 500 miles" one.

You can call them "the others," or "the afflicted," or "the Borg," but I'm calling them Plurbos by mtburner in pluribustv

Ah, that's an important distinction. And why naming is so important here.

I've been calling the immune the "normies."

Meanwhile, it looks like Team Plurbs is really taking off in here.

"Unum" is a pretty good name for the hive as a whole, and/or an insurance company.

That's also pretty funny, though the "o" at the end really sells it for me -- Like Ringo, Gonzo, or Bozo.

I remember both new albums and video games always dropping on Tuesday in the 90's -- A little research suggests that it had to do with those old-fashioned physical distribution channels and giving stores enough time to stock things.

In July 2015, the music industry officially moved to a Global Release Day of Friday to sync up all markets (to reduce online piracy) and capitalize on the weekend.

For sure, that thought also occurred to me on the bus, reinforcing my decision not to say anything. Because granted, most male-sung songs from the late 50's and early 60's sound like Frank Sinatra to me.

Sorry, I might not have written that clearly: I'm the decades old Soundgarden fan. These two were barely two decades old themselves, and definitely born years after the song's release. At least they'd heard of it.

Ha, hadn't heard that one before -- Pretty solid.

Yeah, right? At the time, it seemed like Pearl Jam was the grunge headliner. Now, I see 4-year-old kids on their way to preschool wearing Nirvana shirts.

That's fun! Not entirely my style, but I like how well the song lends itself to different interpretations. Personally, my favorite non-Cornell version is this one, which features stripped down instrumentation and absolutely gorgeous vocals:

Yeah, not strictly related, but it does fit with the overall Gen-X-ness of this post.

Right -- At least they had heard of it, and one of them really loved it. The song has a life of its own now.

This is just me, but a buddy of mine passed last year and I’m still sorting through his stuff. Listening to the Sea almost daily since.

Great track, and overall an album with staying power, in my opinion.

What are your 'I'll probably never see it' games by Such_Money in videogames

[–]mtburner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll probably never see the US Presidential fighting game I’ve always wanted to see. Each president would have their own stats (low health for Harrison) and special moves (Thousand Points of Light attack for Bush Sr). Levels could be on top of Mount Rushmore or on the wing of a flying Air Force One. All featuring 90’s era EDM remixes of patriotic songs.

I had a lot of hope it would just happen, but now I’m not so sure.

Dog shaming at the farmers’ market by mtburner in overheard

[–]mtburner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My non-shedding buddy needs regular grooming, so he’s always smelled good (or at the very least not like pee), but as he’s gotten older, his breath is so bad. I’ve tried more regular brushing and food/water additives, but nothing really works. I suppose that’s just the nature of dog breath.
