What happened exactly?

Dan thought the PlayStation conference was middling, and Twitter was upset with him about it.

I'm starting this topic a little early; but I wanted to get out ahead of it and see if we could get people who have played the game to suggest the (actual) best board! One that will, hopefully, make for a game with lots of twists and turns =)

Edit: Fixed title, apologies for my mistake.

Hard to believe the last one of these was in September of last year. We made it through a whole Winter without any Mario Party Parties!

Hopefully they don't kibosh the series, but I'd totally understand if they do.

Recently, I've been absolutely in love with Periphery's Juggernaut albums (Alpha & Omega). Possibly my favourite metal albums of all time.

Really? I mean, they're definitely good records, but I still don't think they're even the best stuff that band has put out. I think if you took the best tracks off of both albums and made one, you'd have a single really killer album. Alpha especially has too much slower material and takes too long to get going. Omega is a bit better as it has more of what I come to the band for. The title track "Omega" is outstanding, too.

Haha absolutely, I think it's by far the best stuff they've put out ^_^ I like it significantly better than Periphery 2, for example. What you define as "slower material... takes too long to get going" is the stuff I love. I like metal a lot, but I am also a professional musician who's worked with orchestras, jazz groups, et cetera. I really love good writing, and every song on those two albums is exceedingly well composed from a theory standpoint =D I totally understand and respect by what you mean about the whole "what I come to the band for" thing though =)

I'm a musician myself, and while not a professional one, I wouldn't be a very good one if I didn't pull my inspirations from all over. It's not that I don't like slower stuff or even think those songs are bad, it's that I think the arrangement of that stuff on Alpha made for a poorly-paced first half of Juggernaut. That, and still can't get behind Spencer Sotelo's whiny singing. He has a great voice with amazing range, but he often doesn't fit the music that is backing him when to comes to melodies.

I still maintain that Juggernaut should've been one album, though. Opened with Alpha, closed with Omega. I love the recurring vocal, lyrical, and melodic themes throughout both albums, and Omega bringing that full circle at the end of that track is fucking phenomenal. At the end of the day, they're still a technical/progressive/djent/whatever the fuck you wanna call them band, and I think the albums could've done with more of "the good stuff", if you know what I mean. The Clear EP was excellent in showcasing how they can expand their sound without losing their edge.

Totally fair! To each their own in regards to taste, and there's no way I'd say your perspective is in any way wrong =)

I've played in a bunch of metal bands (did some touring bass work for Into Eternity)

I just wanted to leave a post here commending just how absolutely incredible it is that one man was able to create such an amazing game. Not only that, but he did the programming, art, AND music. Truly, that is hugely impressive and I have nothing but respect for the man.
