Tremendously bummed out by the news, but I know Vinny, Brad, and Alex all have the tremendous talent and personality to make it at whatever they decided to do next and I wish them all the best of luck wherever they may go.
Can I Kick It? is definitely my favorite of the new songs. It just slots in so perfectly. Definitely up there with some of the original tracks for "Songs That Pop Up On Shuffle And Immediately Make Me Want To Do A Sick Flip."
The DZ Deathrays and Screaming Females tracks are also pretty strong additions.
Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica (if the vast coldness of the universe were an album.)
I didn't even think of this one, but if we were to expand the list to top ten, this would be a pretty big contender. I think for as much flack as some people give it, Good News for People Who Love Bad News might inch ahead of it as far as my personal preference goes, but the Moon and Antarctica is also a really strong album and easily one of my favorites.
I had a good smile over seeing Doolittle in the OP. It's usually a toss up between Doolittle and Surfer Rosa over which I think is the better album at any given time, but both are definitely masterpieces.
Queens of the Stone Age - ...Like Clockwork
Pixies - Doolittle
LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
Death From Above 1979 - The Physical World
Sleigh Bells - Treats
Honorable mention also going out to Faith No More - Angel Dust. Land of Confusion, Midlife Crisis, and RV get regular play on my playlist, and the rest of the album is pretty fantastic as well.
I feel like mechanically its probably Mario Kart 8, but I also have a soft spot for Double Dash and how weirdly strategic it got picking specific racers and carts to get the best item / weight combo.
Modnation Racers is fantastic as a "Holy shit someone made an AT-AT in this game what the christ" game though. The racing in that game doesn't feel all that great, but man the community behind it was top notch.
I usually choose female player characters whenever given the choice, but this is one of the rare occasions where I like both character designs equally, so I'm a bit torn at the moment. I'll probably wait until I hear general impressions of the VA's I suppose to make a decision.
Hey guys, one of our character artists told me he didn't want to be credited because he didn't do much, so I'm posting some of the extremely good concept art he did of Tracksuit for our game. Please let him know this is actually rad as hell and he is very talented.
