Back in the day everyone around here referred to hoodies with a zipper as a sweater/hooded sweater while traditional sweaters were knit/knitted sweaters. Hoodies with no zipper were hooded sweatshirts.

@dougielee: I love Alex, but that's just something he does from time to time (example: WWE2K). There just seems to be no middle ground or acknowledgement of something not being for him in regards to some games and will verbally turn his nose up at any opportunity. I haven't had a chance to listen to this week's show yet, but his "why would you want to play this?" comment last week was slightly annoying, regardless if there are better made open world games out there. Days Gone setting was appealing to me and despite it having legit technical issues and dated presentation, I've been having a great deal of fun with it and that seems to be the general consensus outside the critical bubble.

Also, while I wouldn't call the writing top notch by any means, I've found its story and characters more engaging than something like Horizon: Zero Dawn (if we're not counting the backstory on that world's creation) despite it not being very original. The game's seriously pretty darn good even in its current patched state, and really finds its groove once you reach the third camp. Hopefully folks continue to support it and further updates iron out some of its issues, specifically its unfortunate frame rate.

Hey Jeff, you wanna know what's a worse deal? Having to pay even more for DSL with a whopping SIX download speed because we live in the sticks. $60 for 100 sounds like heaven.

@bathala: Guess you've been sleeping on the Mission: Impossible series.

Weird hearing Ben and Brad (in the past) mention how poorly God of War ran on their base PS4's, I'm playing through it now and outside of the fan kicking in during cutscenes I've had no issues with it other than the combat being incredibly boring compared to the previous installments.

Speaking of making y'all in games, I've been doing just that...

Getting Ben right in vanilla PS4 Fire Pro though is nearly impossible, the game doesn't have a decent scale of height for super tall folks outside of referees, and I can't pull off either of his most well known looks (pineapple shirt and red cap).

Booker T may not be an all-time top five wrestler, but his theme sure as shit is top five. Extra points for it being included in a Kids in the Hall sketch.

@brunothethird:

To be fair, that wasn't clear, and I certainly didn't think you'd take that as "weirdly cold" response. It was just a response.

My apologies, however.

Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" though, is a specific story driven song about a rock star's life on the road, it doesn't really share much beyond a title with the game in question. When Discovery chose it for Deadliest Catch's theme they had to carefully edit it to fit the product they were selling. It's all about lyrics, and if they fit.

@brunothethird: "I totally forgot Dream On was in this, somehow. DOA by Bon Jovi would've made more sense, though."

Not so much, no. Not for the story they were trying to tell....not that "Dream On" was the best choice either, but "Dead or Alive" wouldn't work at all.

@knockingnick: Music is probably the most subjective of mediums. That being said though, Aerosmith has had their up and down quality-wise. Their 70's stuff was definitely their most consistent and best era producing gems like... "Dream On", "Sweet Emotion", "Mama Kin", "Back in the Saddle", "Last Child", "Big Ten Inch", and "Train Kept a Rollin'"
