    He raises his kids on Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and maybe Rush if its the weekend. When a rap song comes on the radio, he puts on that classic douche dad smirk and looks in the mirror through his oakleys and says, "remember kids rap is crap". he chuckles to himself as his wife looks over at him, eyes full of long lasting love and the memory of when they met at a Grateful Dead show. His kids in the back laugh, and say "oh dad, you musta forgot to switch the station to 97.9 The Loop" He looks back and says "Ill do ya one better" as he puts in his well worn cassette of The Song Remains The Same.

    Then years later his kids grow up and post on the internet with the smartphones they'll use to bag their next tinder date who as per their profile request "better not swipe right if you think rappity rhymes are tight".

    The cycle continues.

Hey thundara I got the 49 track Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack and it's aces. I played it a bit too, not enough to have any concluding thoughts on it, though.

Not much else for the pub, I don't think. Life goes on. I'll have some fries to go.

Edit: also I'm buying a car in like a few weeks.

Edit 2: flagamuffin this game called Shadow of Mordor came out a few months ago and I just played it. You play as a ranger that gets "possessed" by a Wraith that turns out to be Celebrimbor, the creator of the original rings of power. They team up to defeat the Black Hand by building an army of Orcs in Núrn and Mordor. Gollumn shows up too, of fuckin course. The game ends with said Ranger deciding to help Celebrimbor forge a new Ring of Power so they can use it to beat Sauron.

Point being, on a scale from "rolling over in his grave multiple times" to "not even Christopher would have a problem with it", how accurate do these events sound, do they even make sense in the timeline?

Spinning around furiously!

    a Wraith that turns out to be Celebrimbor, the creator of the original rings of power.

Elves can't be wraiths (what's a wraith? like a ringwraith? nope), and Celebrimbor is one of the most underrated characters in the legendarium. The last of the line of Feanor.

    They team up to defeat the Black Hand by building an army of Orcs in Núrn and Mordor.

Wonder what this game thinks the Black Hand is. And when it's set. Because none of that really makes any sense. Oh and rangers never go that far south, but maybe if he was possessed.

    Gollumn shows up too, of fuckin course.

Gollum goes to Mordor once, but -- you know what, this is hopeless. Rolling over. Grave. Lots.

Oh! I was looking around on other IRC channels last night to find another for co-op. My schedule is unpredictable though, so playing games usually ends up as: "Hey I found 2 hours in this random evening all of a sudden, join me!"

Wait, there's co-op in HM2??

It was on the trailer, but I just double checked and it's not in the release :-(
