Oh snap! Wade's listening to this album. I've only listened a couple of times but I would say I strongly enjoy that song as well. Overall, the album I enjoy it. It feels a bit more subdued than past albums, but that's not a bad thing. I also like the "cool down song" In Truth Divided that closes the album. I ended up getting the "deluxe version" that has 2 extra songs, on a separate little mini disc, which don't work on my computer. This is the second time this has happened. The other time was @Greatoneshere's favorite album, Panther, which the deluxe also came with a separate mini disc with extra songs, but my CD (blu-ray) player couldn't read it. Amazon has autorip for this particular album but the autorip doesn't include the bonus songs.

Hey don't forget to vote for who you want to see being played in the madden pro bowl!

The thing with Predator 1 and 2 is both are pretty good movies, just one is different than the other. While Terminator 1 and 2 are different 2 is clearly on another level. Predator movies haven't reached that next level yet, it's still out there somewhere waiting to be made.

GOAT

But more seriously (This is a serious post that would make @Greatoneshere proud) I don't think the Alien, Terminator, Predator sequels don't work because they don't progress the story, I think they progressed the story too quickly and then the writing has just never been as good. There are plenty of pieces of media that retread the same material to great success. Some examples (and probably not great because it's off the top of my head) Friday the 13th - These movies are largely the same. Same guy different place. But the main draw is that you want to see Jason just kill more people. Then the movies got stale and that's when writers were like "I dunno just put him in space!" but it took 10 movies to get to that point Power Rangers - A beloved show but largely follows the same formula. Some background story stuff but largely it is Fight puttys > get in zord > form megazord and fight big monster. But in the end people just want to see that last fight. 24 - A show of varying quality but you can't deny the greatness of season 1 and 4. If anything this one got killed by lack of progression and retreading the same path a bit too much. I mean, how many times can you have a mole at CTU? The show had a perfect jumping off point for Keifer when Curtis (black jack) was on the show but instead of tossing the reigns to him they just killed Curtis off WTF? But what happened with Terminator? The leap from 1 to 2 was too large, and Terminator 2 was too good. It would be similar to saying, "We need to make a sequel to Shawshank Redemption," and seeing how you can up the ante. Well Terminator 2 was so balanced, action, suspense, EMOTION, something that never came in the sequels. I think there is a reason that The Sarah Conner Chronicles is the 3rd best piece of Terminator media and that's because it went with familiar material but written well enough to further the lore without taking huge steps. Personally I thought T3 was fine. Salvation was a huge misstep. It tried to make huge progress in the story but the story just wasn't interesting. Also, the most interesting part was the human terminator and that wasn't the focal part of the movie. Also McG sucks. The biggest problem now is they keep going back to T2 and trying to make T2 with not as good ideas. Just write a good movie, simple. The Predator movies also took too many leaps as well. It went from Jungle > City > Predator Planet - But they could have gone a different route and kept it on a different place on earth or something. At least for a couple more movies. In any case that's what I think is mostly wrong with the movies. The writing and trying to make a movie as good as movies with a storied legacy. Simply write a good story and the success will come.

But what if... the predator fought the alien?

Someone get Microsoft on the phone for Crystal Dynamics.

He died participating in a meme.

I'm actually impressed. It doubles your storage

I'm just glad you can't vote now.

I read that as New York too and was going to be like " yo @skillzdadirecta Onimusha coming to NYC!"

I'm saving my MICROSOFT rewards for mainly game pass ultimate. I have 83,000 points currently!

Keep in mind this edition (ultimate edition) is the one that gets the free next gen upgrade.

@nobody argued with you? I'll kick his ass for that!

Yeah, that was dumb.

Actually I remember they just recently had a big update for the game so if you were going to get back into it, now is the time!

I lost all my monies but I had to best against the big bets. The thing that fucked everything up was that Saftey. I was basically a 5 point swing that Arizona never recovered from.

Same. I didn't get super far but I think I'll have to start from the beginning since I'd probably be clueless about the mechanics.

There's this Corona thing going around, it's a hoax but if he somehow got it it would be super weird!

Today boys! @GeneticBlueprint
