@mmarsu: It was tough to get into a game, they only did 2 community games I think, and both filled up in seconds.

The Beatles are one of the three best bands of all time. The Beach Boys suck.

As Brad would say: "Shrug"

I normally don't watch the Murder Island vids but if they keep doing this style I will continue to watch. I don't like it when they play online but versus each other its comedy gold.

I appreciate the influence the Beatles had that would pave the way for a lot of great music. Actual Beatles songs do not hold up.

Haha 2:07:32 you can see my Zombie just avoid getting run over. Saw the yellow Dacia just roll right in front of me. Then just 2 minutes later I'm getting shot in the gut by Jeff. Glad those two moments were caught on stream.

All popular bands are overrated. All underground bands are underrated, until they become popular. Then they're overrated.

I just have one thing to say: Nickelback.

The lag during the zombie match was unbearable. I spent half the time either disconnected, or staring at a "network lag detected" message. What a shame.

This is 'opinion'. I am not a real Beatles fan, but I had a longing to listen to A Day in the Life of . From there I spent an hour + on you tube going over other Beatles music.

Seems to hold up for me just fine. Music for me though is mostly timeless. I can't stand most popular music today, but I still hear so much really good current stuff

As for Abby, give it a second chance down the road. Well down the road, it's no matter.

boy Vinny forgot how to play this game!

Brad is adorably attention deficit between missing everyone asking for guns to be turned up for their deathmatch and missing the landing in their first team game.

I don't know how you can fairly expect a young person to be able to appreciate the significance of The Beatles.

We live in a world where there are essentially adults that don't remember a time before smart phones or the internet. And they're very young things comparitively. The actually game changing nature of these things is impossible to truly understand if you weren't there.

Sure industrious people can research a topic and get an intellectual appreciation for something. But they don't really know.

It's even more weird with the Beatles because there's this added layer of subjectivity to art. You don't need to like them to understand their significance... But if you're just viewing them as art it's just this overblown band you don't like.

Truly influential things that change the world are harder for later generations to understand because they've only ever grown up in that changed world.

I mean when was the last time you considered what a extraordinary game changer the refrigerator was? Fridges are mind blowing devices! Yet we all have them. Same with modern indoor plumbing.

Or take Akira Kurosawa. How can you expect someone whose only lived in a world where everyone uses the aspects of cinematic storytelling he pioneered, including the shittiest films and tv shows around, to be able to appreciate his films as more then just movies but rather as these ground breaking pioneering things? There's nothing special to what he's doing in your mind because you've seen it a billion times before. So if you also don't like Samurai, or black and white films, then Kurosawa is up shit Creek without a paddle as far as impressing you goes. Wether or not he "deserves" your respect. Which he does btw.

It's perfectly understandable for people who just see The Beatles as a popular band, one held up as this exalted thing, to call them overated. If you don't have the historical frame of reference how could you understand? Even if you do it's pretty damn hard to truly grasp the frame of reference of a world that existed 50 or 60 years ago.

The Beatles are not overrated. Although certain individuals certainly talk them up too much. They aren't gods, but the evangelist of most things only hurt them in the long run. But how can a twenty year old who doesn't like their music (Which is 100% subjective) be expected to know that?

So yeah. Thinking The Beatles are overrated is totally fine and understandable.

@mellotronrules: Hey, thanks for that man. I am one of those people who appreciate what The Beatles did for music and rock and roll culture but, to put it simply, doesn't make my dick move. However, this was very interesting and I am going to look into it more.

sure thing boss. i've been a big electronic music fan for awhile, but always had a chip on my shoulder re: the beatles. i think a large part of it was my exposure was limited to their earlier career or straight-on rock n roll stuff.

but do yourself a favour and give 'tomorrow never knows' a shot. as my friend described it, 'it's like they wrote a chemical brothers song before synths or samplers existed.'

@drew327: Ok, I'll bite. Beatles songs don't hold up? Are you joking? Listen to A Hard Day's Night, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper (new remix), Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Abbey Road. That is precisely the reason they are still so popular 50+ years after the fact. Still sound utterly fresh, completely timeless. Go and listen to actual albums instead of the Top 5 on Spotify.

Vinny and Abby were saying that they messed up by going into the house, but I think it was a great decision. Sure, they got overwhelmed and died, but they took out about 23 zombies. The other 5 people combined took out 10 before they died. If they had had more ammo stockpiled, covered each other during reloads, and the rest of the team had used this same strategy, I think they could have won.

So glad at least SOMEONE else on the comments section understood Abby's reference. A surprisingly good movie with a surprisingly star-studded cast.

Also, possibly one of Henry Rollins' best lines in, "I am Godzilla! YOU are Japan!"

The first half of this stream would have been much more interesting if Brad weren't so boring and instead had jacked up the settings.

Does Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead hold up? I saw that film eons ago, and remember thinking it was extremely weird, but... good, maybe? They're diggin' for those deep cuts on the titles, eh.
