B seems like the most comfy place for Pint, so that one.

11. Caroline, No
12. Dont Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)
13. You Still Believe In Me

Its a pretty good album! Most songs just sound great. While I cant get into the technical aspects, I listen to my share of 60s music and earlier and it just has a different feel. Solid lyrics too!

Several said it was a tough Rushmore with many honorable mentions, but it looked clear who would win...for a bit. Then Frogger entered the ring with several vote changes. Then DDR danced in with even more vote changes. At the end, Silent Hill 2 weathered the storm and kept in.

Shout-out to the Yu-Gi-Oh voter. Card games with a single player mode are a dying breed.

I also read the first few pages of Anxious People by Fredrik Bachman, but I found it to be so obnoxiously unfunny that I dropped it immediately. Yeesh.

I had the same feeling but powered through. Last half of the book saves it hard; it made me tear up.

I liked Gotts a little bit more after reading A Scandal in Bohemia

Oh whoops I accidentally deleted my post

Great job on getting a library card! I got mine a year ago and it was such an amazing decision

I have a ton of difficulties with burnout and morale, so I would recommend reading shorter books of 400 pages or less rather than epic books of 900 pages or more. Then once you got a rhythm going, you can do the bigger books.

Some shorter books I recommend:

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal
Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
The Kingdom of Mattias by Paul E. Johnson and Sean Wilentz

And my recommended epic book is the LBJ 5 book combo by Robert Caro. The Power Broker by Caro is good too.

E2-2 has like 5 animals and I always forget about them

Maybe you just really like slapstick

If you think Meekins is that funny, you might enjoy the humor of Danganronpa

So when I tally votes, I usually do it by which placement they are on people's votes. Sometimes interesting voting patterns emerge. I noticed that most tend to place their votes in order of chronology or importance/"lock."

In this one, The Beatles got 25/28 votes within slot #1. It wasn't until the last 3 votes where The Beatles even got a placement other than the first one.

Shout-out to the Boston voter.

Today's Parameters

You must pick voice lines from a video game.

Voice lines are defined as sound effects that are coming from a character's voice rather than environmental sound effects. These voice lines tend to be unscripted, random, and almost entirely in gameplay.

Voice lines that are set to play in certain areas but are not defined enough to be dialogue would be voice lines.

Voice lines should have a video game associated with it.

I like the design of the G2-3 jurors. Theyre a neat way to make essentially background characters.

Spoonerism, but yes

Lablanc is a shitty stereotype, but I give respect to the moment MSG mentioned.

I'll get DK at some point

Oh hey, Meraktis is one of the more interesting one-off victims.

The Rolling Stones
Queen
Led Zeppelin
AC/DC

Joan's my last place!

She's not the character I hate personally the most, but she's the most "why" character. Bad design, awful gimmick, no depth, pretty large role, and just...no redeeming characteristics at all. There are characters I personally hate more, but there's at least a few things I like about them. Joan's got nothing.

I confused Selden for Duncan Ross and rated him way higher than I would otherwise. Whoops!

Not a bad last place.

I feel like some people here have listened to maybe a quarter of The Beatles discography at best.

Oh yeah, most of my experience with The Beatles is Sgt. Pepper and before, with a spattering of later songs.

The Beatles have always firmly been in pop for me and never rock.

Yeah, I really enjoy the sidequests. I like the banter between the party members during sidequests too.

Grasslands is such a good area too. I love the difference between the grassy area and the rocky area between Midgar and Kalm.

Sniffing out items as a Chocobo isn't super important unless you're trying to 100% the game. It's usually expendable items as far as I remember.

You must pick classic rock bands.

Classic rock bands can be from any era.

Bands are typically a group, but solo performances are acceptable too.

Like most music genres, there's no specific definition. A loose definition is "popular and mainstream rock music primarily during the 1960s through the 1990s. Guitar tends to be the primary instrument." See these pages for more definitions:

The easiest would probably be figuring out how to do it through Tabletop Simulator. It shouldn't be too hard. You need to make the images, a small rulebook (or even just put the rules on the Notes page), and then do a few tutorials with TTS to understand things like getting the images on the table and creating permissions.

Nibelheim is a bit messy, but I loved Cloud's performance in it.

Rebirth really feels itself once you go through Chapter 2.

Flag noise and jump noise too

Come to think of it, we do need a judge's decision on whether or not Zelda's puzzle solved sound is a jingle or not.

Good question.

Puzzle/Secret from Zelda is allowed.
