Re: Dickbots VII - Wrath of Khanbots [complete]

I'm pretty well protected with the mountains to my southeast. If I leave a Spearman at home, and keep enough money on hand to buy one more archer, I should be good against anything that sneks around the mountains.

Re: Andromeda

@CB just wanted to update you. The more I play Andromeda, the more I am enjoying it. The story is a slow burn, and is finally gaining weight at about 10 hours in (maybe less, I'm exploring everything). I'm just now understanding how huge the game will be.

While some of the negativity in the reviews is justified, I wonder if they fully gave the game the chance it needed. It is not Shepard's Mass Effect. There is no hero. But the awe and wonderment of actually exploring a completely new galaxy for me, is exciting.

Will it be as epic as the trilogy? I doubt it. But it's a very familiar Mass Effect foundation with a fresh look on exploring. In a basic sense, it's ME1 improved with ME3MP combat evolved. I just got my full crew and haven't really built any rapport with them, so I can't comment if they will be as great as the companions in the trilogy.

Anyways, just thought I'd shoot ya an update, as well as anyone else interested in the game.

Man, Dream Theater, Tool, Genesis, Yes... Smart people dig Prog.

Throw on In The Court of The Crimson King by King Crimson as well and we have a party.

Can we add Bridge of Sighs by Robin Trower and Some Captain Beyond to the party?

Re: What is Icrontic playing? March 2017

Shameposting that I've been playing a LOT of Pokemon: The Card Game Online. I've been working through the trainer challenges and I'm about 10% of the way through the City Championship with my current crop of 4 pre-fabbed decks. After I finish that (and open all of the booster packs that come with it), I'm going to try my hand at building a deck and going up against actual people.

I say I do this because my oldest is into the collecting and has started actually playing the game.

But that's only partially true.

Re: An ode to the album format, and my top 11

No order implied. Didn't want to double down on artists either. I'm with you @Linc in that I much-prefer the full album experience.

Sufjan Stevens - Greeting from Michigan (hon. mention Seven Swans)
Deltron 3030 - s/t
Kraftwerk - Autobahn
Postal Service - Give Up
Radiohead - Kid A (hon. mention Amnesiac)
The xx - xx
Belle and Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Lucero - Tennessee
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving
Sneaker Pimps - Bloodsport (hon. mention to Splinter)

And a special Palme d'Icrontic to Jamie XX - We're New Here, the remix of Gil Scott Heron's "I'm New Here." Jamie xx's music (and subsequent DJ sets and BBC Radio 1 residencies) almost overshadow The XX despite being a side-project.
