I'm glad I got two spots, but they weren't even close to my best comment on the article "Brockhampton Are Fucking With Us Again"
"They aren't fucking with you Breihan. Kevin doesn't fuck with white boys, unless they are Shawn Mendes Your Pal, Marijuana. "
But whatever, Happy New Year, Gumheads.

I paid $7 dollars for D2. The shooting feels better than any other game in the industry but oh my fucking god the levels are dull as a white rapper.

Not much on my part due to finals. I just got another two pages for an essay and I'll be free. But I'll be stuck here for the next five days, so I'll probably spend a good chunk high and playing Smash Bros.

And I find it funny that people who say they won't listen to XXX because he was a piece of shit when he was alive when so many of their favorites were pieces of shit, some dead like Bowie and some alive like Jimmy Page.
And I ain't defending XXX. I only listened to his work once about a month after he died for a "crappy albums month" thing I was doing and I drop artists I actually like if I believe they are pieces of shit (Crystal Castles, Miguel, Brockhampton until they kicked out Ameer), but I wish people would have the same energy for pieces of shit regardless of the quality of their music.

You're the Worst- I'm rewatching it again for a 9 page paper on the depiction of PR workers in the show and would it be accurate to actual workers. I say I last 3 pages before I start needing to bullshit. Pray for Weed.
Red Dead Redemption 2- Finally wrapped that one up after over a month of playing it and only it. Its without a doubt the best written Rockstar game made with barely any of the edgelordness of their previous games.
It was so nice seeing that Bill has always been a fucking prick.
Carprenter Brut's cover of Maniac- Someone stop me. I'm listening to this 6 times a day.
please help me.

Same goes for everyone in his circle of Chicago rappers aside from Chance the Rapper. Noname is getting a good amount of love, especially here, but it seemed like most forgot she existed after the first month after her album dropped this year. Saba and Mick Jenkins entirely forgotten.

Hermit and the Recluse- Orpheus vs the Sirens

I'll give it a listen when it comes out just because of the hype surrounding it, but I'm just expecting a solid, but not fantastic album.
Something about the band doesn't make me think they are capable of a work that deserves to be considered a classic.

Though I've given up on because of his antics this year, I have a soft spot for 808s. Though most consider it one of his weaker solo projects, it's my second favorite from him.
And I got to laugh at it being one of the most influential albums in the last 10 years considering its reception

Time also gave Cardi B, Camila and Shawn Mendes best of 2018 spots. I like Shawn's and Camila's respective albums fine, but none of the three deserve that much praise.

I give young people less crap over shitty things they do than if they were say 30, but after certain acts are committed, there is no chance for redemption. Being a child molester is one of those acts

So what other media have you digested this week?
Castlevania Season 2- God, I forgotten how much I miss Warren Ellis' writing style. The psychotic bastard probably made the first great video game adaptation.
Bulletstorm Full Clip- One of the PS+ games of the month. I played the original version a couple years back and I've been itching for an excuse to play some more. Character models don't look good and half the interior sections look like crap by today standards, but when out in the outside the art style really shines. Pretty sure I'm already half way done after two hours, but that's alright. I'm just having fun kicking people into random shit.

I'm mixed on Disenchantment. Some cases, it feels really really archaic, but it also has Eric Andre playing the best Groening character.

Shadow of Mordor picks up in the second half when the mind control starts to play a role, but it does have a bit too much Arkham DNA in it. The nemesis system is pretty cool though, but the flair kind burned out by the second game.

Good Place- I seriously can't see Andy Daly as anything except Forrest MacNeil
Red Dead Redemption 2- so much potential for cruelty
Ezra Furman Concert- OH MY FUCKING GOD THIS IS THE BEST CONCERT I'VE BEEN TOO AND I MAY HAVE SIGNED UP TO VOLUNTEER FOR SOME POLITICAL ACTIVISM AT THE SHOW WHILE DRUNK

I'm 22. More than half the crowd was high schoolers.
The Brockhampton shows I've been to though were mostly college students.

I went into American Vandal expecting nothing and now its one of my favorite shows that's still airing. I see maybe 1 or 2 more seasons worth before it treads old material, but holy fuck the first seasons are amazing

So what media have you enjoyed the last week
Florence + The Machine concert- Magical. That's all I have to say
Donut County- nice, chill, and short. If only more games were like it, especially the third trait
The Leftover S2 E1 and E2- Started rewatching S2 and I just noticed the cave person scene used a grainier film style than the rest of the series.
