You can’t put Heartbeat in the same sentence with anything else and not cause the universe to collapse due to anti-matter science whatsis

Metroid Prime was awesome
Destiny and Destiny 2 borrowed from this and other past efforts. The campaign face off with Oryx in Destiny includes an homage to Ocarina of Time (the room with the four portraits in an early temple)
Edge of Fate just didn’t pull off an homage. It was tedious. Add in a destination that felt more suffocating than anything they designed before, except maybe for those slo-mo spots in Final Shape, and you’ve got a winner in a bad way

AKA a coffee shop or cafe. Check out the I-House cafe, a great place to chat while studying

This is it. I like Walking in Your Footsteps too, but this is sublime

The bass line just blows into your brain. It’s not complex, but it’s turned up to 11

FWIW the city has a webpage that lists pro and con statements and rebuttals

The wild thing is that presumably the Destiny 2 team is the group that worked on the Star Wars expansion with LucasArts or The Mouse whatever they call themselves
Not a terrible idea to continue that and let it blossom. Unless it destroys Bungie’s own IP

I was only 3-1/2 that May and I think I had to wait until the theatrical rerelease. But I remember Empire in 1980 when I was 6-1/2

I’m not sure what doesn’t belong on any album, but it is absolutely astonishing that the artistry of “Inyo” only existed on Tracks II. What a song

Are the Stomper statues still there? I can’t recall if they had been repainted to reclaim them as Oakland rather than Athletics

I think you should try to call and go tomorrow, to the ED if you have to. Don’t wait.
The curtain won’t appear all the time, because your brain will take the image from your other eye.
Fingers crossed for you

You should check out The Last Ship, it is heavily influenced by Soul Cages

While embouchure differences probably favor going with alto over tenor, the other thing is that a Bb instrument is easier to mesh in your head and on paper.
Turns out that Eb alto and bari actually are giving you the same pitches for fingering that lower register clarinet gives you. For example, three left hand fingers gives you a Bb on lower register clarinet, which is called a C and written as a C. On an alto or bari it’s called a G even though it’s actually a concert Bb. Same fingering for same pitch.
But clarinet actually spends a lot of time in the upper register, where three left hand fingers gives you a concert F, called a G on the Bb clarinet upper register. Also called a G on tenor and soprano (and bass) saxophone.
For me, when the point of a saxophone honestly is easy improvisation and groove, I prefer the Bb horns because they fit better with where I was living as a clarinet player, in the upper register.
You want the horn to work with your brain, not fight it

The pee troughs MUST show up at an homage location somewhere they have to

Gamefaqs was a great place in the aughts!

Max and Miriya are shown with their own super Valkyrie kits blasting and relaxing at about 2:40 of that clip
They just don’t get as much screen time as Rick (or as much recycled stock footage of Zentraedi stuff going boom)

Careful now, logic and respect have no place in fandom on Reddit.
If one looks at the sequels in a similar way that one looks at the Tron sequels and the Kelvin timeline Star Trek reboot, I think it all makes a little more sense how they’re going to be imperfect. Still kind of guilty fun

Can the Mobiles really keep it up without triggering some kind of matter and anti-matter event?
Seems like they need to become a west coast Savannah Bananas or something. Maybe bringing SF’s Kelsie Whitmore back closer to home during the WPBL offseason

Unpopular opinion:
Seven Steps to Heaven
George Coleman is underappreciated as a sideman with Miles. The guy is solid. The lineup and cadence of the tunes on the album is thoughtful and aesthetically great
Sure, Basin Street Blues needs to be in Bb, but I’ll take C
The title track is sublime with its harmonized bebop head with trumpet and tenor. Up tempo but not head spinning
So Near, So Far is an unreal melodic stroll

OP, you know about the flashlight that you get on Night Marsh, right? Just asking because seeing stuff is definitely hard, but IMHO it’s seeing all the weird junk in my backpack and trying to figure out where the hell anything useful is.
I’d take cloaked UESC or runners over that nightmare of an inventory system any day. I’d much rather squint and shoot at something that squint at inventory and fail to find anything while someone comes up and shoots me

I also was 6 when I saw it in theaters with my parents, and I think I took it at face value that Luke was Vader’s son. I was more interested in Yoda, AT-ATs, Hoth Han with the loop where you could holster his blaster,
and Boba Fett, who arrived in the mail with his jet pack rocket glued into him so we kids wouldn’t shoot our eyes out, kid. Courtesy of clipping action figure box tops and mailing them in
It was all about the sweet sweet toys

But can I has recon?
Those were the days. Big studios, money coming in from launch and then magically planned and saved to keep the production house afloat

By Duran Duran. Other stuff by them is great. This one just was a drill into the skull
