  1. So I was catching up on music news when I came across a news post about that Misfits cover and for the fun of it I decided to read the comments. It was the usual postings when I came to this specific post that made me think; Why stop there? Instead of complaining (or in my case not caring/not being much of a fan anymore) why don't we go and petition them to be a better band/put more effort in. Sure it may not do much, but if it gets enough votes and proper attention. Then maybe it will get blink the proper kick they need to get their shit together. The main problem would be getting the main message across in a nice/mature way, and then uniting the fan base with casual/ex fans, but I think this could be possible though... What do you guys think?
  2. Doesn't premium let you download the MP3 thought?
  3. I enjoyed the original and somewhat enjoyed the prequel (Yeah I know it was a shitty movie, but fuck it). I'll be sure to check this one out. Also that granny joke at the end was gross as shit and not funny... How could they possibly do a sequel for that movie? I mean maybe they could have pulled something out when the movie was still fresh, but now when RW is old? It just makes no sense and seems forced. I'll see what comes of it, but according to wikipedia (yeah, I know) they've been working on a sequel since 2001 and even then was kind of too late. I'll probably check it out though if previews/reviews look good.
  4. I have to agree with M!ke here, what's the point of dropping the gamepad? It brings more (possible) innovation to gaming than both the Kinect and Sony camera/PSMove can (for people who prefer to sit down and game at least). Also if price is really an issue than why are Xbox and PlayStation out selling the Wii U? Both those consoles are a lot more expensive than the Wii U. The main problem is games, not the console gimmick. Plus if the gamepad is that much of a waste then why are Sony/Microsoft and other developers copying the idea for their platforms/games? I mean the latest example I can think of is Watch Dogs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDHXtbWBWOk
  5. What pisses me off is that they said there would be recording this year, and now Tom is acting like they never made a single promise about blink other than touring. That recent article has reopened the wound because as Oliver says, "Blink who?" Seriously fuck AvA, I'm never supporting them. Doesn't matter, I was already done with blink-182 too when Mark announced NaN because I can't take being jerked around anymore. I just like staying updated at this point.
  6. As much as I am a fan, I have to sadly agree with this... Meaning I'm no longer hyped for the album. I could be wrong, but I rather not be disappointed (and it sounds like I might).
  7. I have to agree, I like it but it doesn't sound that much like a Gob song. I just hope this album is better than the last one they put out. I like everything they did except Muertos Vivos I really had to force myself to like/warm up to that one.
  8. I've heard and seen bad things about that game. I think I'll wait for it to drop down in price, or get it used before I check it out.
  9. I'll have to watch a few more episode before I pass judgement, but right now I am not that impressed. I just hope this show is given a chance to evolve unrestrained, and hopefully we might get something worthy of being called a successor. Right now it just feels like another Disney sitcom with a BMW twist/continuation
  10. Eh, I saw the suit, and I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping it would look something like the image I have posted in my spoiler tag. Minus the wings I don't know... If Sony can pull it off with Spider-Man then I can trust the DC studios more to pull it off with Batman (if done correctly).
  11. Yeah, I'm not a fan of that song either.
  12. Yeah... I'm not getting involved, I'll just stick with liking posts I find amusing or somewhat agree with Eh, it's the internet and on text. He could be joking, or it could be taken out of context. I know I've said things that appear one way when I mean something else (on the internet) and end up pissing someone off... It's bound to happen. Although he could be serious too, but again. It's the internet, and Mark is a jokester...
  13. Watching playthroughs of Infamous: SS. I wasn't really interested in the game before, but it looks fun. I might go pick that and Thief up.
  14. To be honest if that is the case then I would see no reason to defend Tom. Well unless it's really one of the other three, but really we won't know. And at that point it will just be speculation... But yeah, back to blaming Tom once Mark moves back to US even if it isn't Tom's fault because who else can we blame?
  15. Yes, but you're looking at it from a fan angle. However, yes before I begin defending him I will say this. Don't start commitments while you have other ones/say you will start something when you are not ready to start it because it will just make you look like a giant douche when you delay it. That being said though. I can't blame him for delaying it in the beginning. He was already neck deep with AvA in the beginning, and made a lot of promises. Both to his AvA bandmates, and the fans of AvA. What was he supposed to do? Piss people off/burn bridges so he can start work on a band (who to him at the time) was something that he did long ago, and was as advanced as Angels was? No. I would have done the same as Tom if I were in his situation. Would I have been so quick to announce a new blink album though? No, but I don't know if that's entirely on him. He should have just been clear, and told us his level of commitments. Does it suck that he's not 100% blink? Yeah, and it saddens/bothers me, but there isn't anything I can do about it but bitch and speculate like everyone else here. That's what I'm thinking too. You can only have so much excitement for a band when you can't even connect with a member because they're in another country. Again from Tom's angle I can't really fault him, but again he should at least be communicating with Travis. Although they should quit stringing us along, and just come clean with what their plans are. Don't announce thing, just release them when you're ready (like they did with DED).
  16. Again, all of them just need to get their sit together. Not one person is to blame so there isn't any reason to wish one person gets kicked out. Also blink-182 is Mark AND Tom always has been always will be. Without one the band/the name would be nothing. Well Tom wouldn't work on AvA if he could just meet up with Mark whenever he wanted, right? I think Tom just has ADD or ADHD when it comes to creativity, and he doesn't focus on blink because Mark isn't around to jam without seeing if his schedule is free/waiting for him to come over in a few hours/days/weeks. Gotta take it from Tom's angle too. _____________________________________________________________ That being said though, I am still disappointed with this news about blink. I hope they manage to at least push out an EP to make everyone happy.... Yeah I know there are people who are against EPs, but at this point an EP is better than nothing.
  17. I honestly would have loved more, and I hope they do end up making a sequel to this game (whether it's a true sequel, or the gang ends up playing another game (like superhero) I don't care). To me it just felt short, and nothing else do once you beat it No. http://kotaku.com/trey-parker-on-dlc-f-that-837541931 It's old, but still relevant.
  18. Definitely the button mash. Memorization wasn't that bad especially if you played Simon before.
  19. I don't know... I can see where you coming from, but I don't really see it that way. Anyway, this is what I was talking about >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzS9YGvxqVc The Demo version was fast, but Tom slowed it down for the final version.
  20. Maybe if were lucky some of the blink sounding AvA songs will be brought over to blink instead? Or maybe Tom has more of it into him? I just hope he doesn't pull a Surrender... By pulling a Surrender I mean having one of the demo versions he shows be better than the final version (I preferred the faster more upbeat version.
  21. I'm starting to see a trend of digital only games (which I'm not a fan of this method). I'm hoping games like Outlast, Daylight, and any other digital only game eventually get a physical disc (for PS4).
  22. I think I'm basically at Oliver's/other people's level. I don't really care anymore, and at this point I can not get hyped for blink anymore which is a damn shame. I gave them a pass on the original 2013 album because of the Travis flying drama killing their momentum. Which I can still understand why that happened. Then I was foolish enough to let myself get somewhat hyped for the 2014 album when I should have known better. I just keep avoiding the fact that they've been stringing us along since they reunited back in 2009. The only positive thing they've done was DED because it came out of nowhere, and they recorded it as a band. What a waste. I wish I had been a fan before the hiatus, and not right after they broke up because at least then I would have gotten the chance to enjoy them as a functioning band. Also no, I refuse to blame one member of the band because they're all to blame. I don't care if it's Mark's fault, Tom's fault, or even Travis'. It's their band, they should be striving to make the band work, not us. Playing the blame game, or pointing out a faulty member gets us nowhere.
  23. ^I hope they manage to begin something next month, but I doubt it. The ice is really cold, (and) the street lights really old
  24. Yeah I got the PS4 a couple days ago, and it's a pretty cool console. Unfortunatly I'm lacking games (outside of the F2P stuff). Thief looks good, but I don't know if that's because I'm just desperate for games, or if I honestly like... I mean that time of gameplay seems interesting, but I'm not that big of a fan towards period stuff. Although part of Thief has a section that reminds me of Amnesia/Outlast/Any game like those so I should be happy with that game.
  25. I thought AM had the worst music video. I'm not sure what my favorite video is... Probably Dammit, or this version of M+Ms (video in spoiler tags). [spoiler]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZs88WWGDoo
