It's a mixed bag, haha. It depends what you are into/looking for.
 
I was a little in the air too.
 
What it is: Science fiction (seriously, when you meet aliens it gives a little readthrough like "The Alien grits it's teeth and pockets of sand bulge from his eyes. He grunts in your direction and gestures towards his ship, suggesting he may be willing to trade it." Some of it has this great old-school sci-fi feel to it Space exploration. First and foremost. And to scale The planets are HUGE. Way bigger than you think. Like "Hey I can see a waypoint, oh shit it's 45 minutes away, walking"-big.
 
What it do: Procedural generation. If you can't see past the fact that everything is obviously (albeit, pretty well done) just lego-pieced parts put together in random order... you may not dig it. You see a T-Rex body with a Parrot face and Monkey arms with moose antlers. Are you like "The fuck kind of stupid Mr. Potato Head-shit is this? Fuck this game." OR, are you like "Hahaha look at this fuckin thing. I'm gonna name him Jimmy. Hahaha." The planets are gorgeous, harsh, different, varied, and as mentioned, huge. But, they are all basic equations of Planet Type: Animals?: Plants?: Weather/Atmosphere danger:.
 
What it ain't: An action game of ANY KIND. You explore. You land. You walk around. You mine, and take binocular looks at animals. You DO get attacked by some animals/things on some planets... But this isn't Far Cry, or any FPS.  You DO get attacked by hostile ships when in space... and while the graphics ARE a little better they still all play out like you are flying the Gummi Ship in Kingdom Hearts. This isn't Star Wars.
 
What it be: Pretty fun. I played quite a bit last night. I'm looking forward to the first patch because there is quite a bit they could clean up a tiny bit before everyone starts playing. I'm sure it could get boring/samey after a while, but the main bits of the game are really solid. There is way more economy/trade/inventory management and crafting then I expected. I'm not really good at those things, so it's making me slow down and try to learn the systems.  I think this is finally one of those games that there are a million different ways to play, and none of them are wrong. You can land on one planet and spend 30 hours exploring it if you want. You can hyper jump from galaxy to galaxy qas soon as you recharge your Warp Drive every time and get to the center of the universe if you want. You can hop around and only explore water planets, or pretend you're playing pokemon SNAP and take pics of plants and animals, or kill everything, or become an intergalactic trader, or whatever ya want, basically.  I wanted a chill game that I don't have to be sitting cross-legged leaning towards my TV to play. I sat back in my couch, had a couple beers, saw some crazy shit, and felt like an explorer.  Fun was had.

Whenever he announced two separate solo tours (one with a backing band, and one entirely solo with piano and guitar), I had a feeling he was going to release a followup to Upside Down Mountain. This interests me a lot because in his solo career the more vacant, minimal songs always seem the strongest.
Cape Canaveral, Lenders In The Temple, Milk Thistle, Ten Women, White Shoes, Artifact #1, Common Knowledge..... to me they're all some of the strongest tracks on their respective LPs. So i'm really excited for an entire album with that stripped down approach.  

Uhh, yeah, people actually care about the ability to track pokemon. Without that functionality the foundation of the game is shattered. If it was "so broken that you all rejoiced not having to pay attention to it" then it's obvious you didn't experience the app within the first few days of launch, back whenever the "step" tracking system actually worked wonderfully. It was thrilling to leave the house on foot with phone in hand searching for a poke in the nearby tab and hunting them down with the decreasing steps.
As things stand now there are literally only two ways to play: 
Wander around on foot hoping to randomly encounter a random pokemon of a random type randomly Find a two or more pokestop location and lure them up while sitting between them, catching any random thing that spawns And each of those issues contain many smaller problems which complicate the gameplay and design: 
Egg distance doesn't track correctly while walking, only registering partial distance traveled by straight lines. 
Pokemon spawn timing has been doubled from five seconds to ten seconds, so playing on a skateboard, scooter, bike or any other form of active mobility is no longer possible as it not only won't track egg incubation but also no pokemon will spawn
Catch rates have been altered to increase flee frequency and likelihood of breaking free as well as an increase in defensive animations (jumping, "attacking," etc)
Locations with multiple pokestops (lure hangouts) are having pokestops removed (this particularly devastated my local communities player base, which had been gathering by the hundreds: http://www.sunherald.com/news/local/article93298392.html) 
Plus a lot of other issues have arisen over the past couple weeks. It'd be silly to say people are revolting because "of a system update" or "Niantic's actions." It's a lot more than that and there is definite cause for frustration. Granted, I've reached my personal stopping point (Kanto Gold Medal) so I would slack off regardless, but Niantic is making me reluctantly do so. Sure, the app isn't un-usable as is but it certainly isn't the game the company intended it to be at release by any means. 

This Friday (8.5.16) we will be releasing 'sorry' by emune. 13 tracks of thick hip hop production incorporating elements of lounge. 
 
Limited to 40 pink cassettes. 
 
Each order will include a mini 'sorry' Polaroid from the album cover, logo sticker, an imported Italian citrus hard candy, and a hand written thank you note. 

5 RANDOM ORDERS will receive a one of a kind, hand drawn mailer by the extremely talented Jess Liston.
 

Just opened mine!! Gotta admit, I'm more excited about this than the vinyl atm since I can actually listen to this one more often! Still may be my favorite release of the year to listen to so far 

He's not this generation's elliott smith because this generation has no elliott smith. I mean alex is literally my favorite music of the past half decade but even I can't compare him to elliott's impact on music. Although I do also use Elliott has a familiarizing point for material like half of Beach Music since it seems Elliott has been a huge influence on Alex's approach occasionally 

I don't think this is accurate....Up until DSU, RACE was Alex's most known work, specifically for Gnaw which was his most shared song in the early years. His bandcamp page has over 700 paid supporters listed for RACE and we all know how sought after the /100 cassette has been for the past half decade. Contrastingly, I think that descriptor would be fitting for Winner, which while a truly great album didn't receive the same response from listeners. RACE is just FULL of classic pop songs. 

Vinyl release would be unbelievably cool but I seriously would lose it just for another cassette run.

Queen was the tank. King was the fighter (with a higher attack stats) [in R/B].

rfc pls..race...
 
we are alex g fans, hear our cry

After 193 hours... 

Im probably the one person with this predicament ever, but somehow I ended up with two copies of Race. I had one guy reach out to me with some offers, but it looks like he backed out for whatever reason. Message me if you're interested in trading for it, looking for other interesting rarities! (Will look at trade offers over money offers)

I hope in three days on the 23rd they announce it's actually a 14 year anniversary tour for Bullets.

I spent $5 to get more bag space and I am a never-spend-on-mobile-apps type of person. I feel like like this game is easily worth a $15 upfront cost though and the fact it's free makes it appealing to support them.
