Man, Talking Heads is so difficult because yeah, Burning Down the House is dope, but it is a paltrid, dull affair compared to the Stop Making Sense version.

Nominate: Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
Sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC5zHACynR4

Cool alt-rock/post-punk band that feels dark (but not necessarily depressing) with a great urban sound.

It's not even anything Arsenal did late season that really lost them it. Sure they lost games and the ones to Aston Villa hurt but it was the end of December that really prevented them from winning the title. They took like 4 points over 5 games or something woeful. Rest of the season they were solid.

So I wouldn't even say they bottled it, they just faltered early in the season and it left them no room for error in the second half of the season. The fact that they kept it this close should still be a massive credit to them

I just don't really get this line of thinking, considering City finished only two points ahead of us. Yea, we messed up in December, but you could also say City made it this close by being a lot more shoddy in the first half of the season. I don't think either team was poor at any point in the season, it just came down to details.

Looks really good if the settings here are gonna be in the actual game. Finally MORE TREES for the first time since AC3, although it didn't look like they were climbing them at all...

Mirage was good too so if this is similarly structured I would definitely play it. Of course it's mega greedy Ubisoft pricing, but paying for 1 month of Ubi+ and immediately canceling is good enough.

I think it's already been indicated that this will be Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla style.

That was legitimately the worst performance from this team that I've seen since Arteta's first full season. City will look at that and know that it's over and that we've given up. I'm absolutely embarrassed and furious with them. A chance to put a proper hammering on the worst United side we've EVER seen and they go out and play like THAT? Disgusting.

Get over yourself bro. Penultimate game of the season, away to Old Trafford (where Liverpool's run ended), and we WON.

Only thing left to do is beg for Tottenham and/or West Ham to give us a hand.

dEUS - The Ideal Crash

Belgian art-rock band. The Ideal Crash isn't as experimental or artsy as predecessor 'In a Bar, Under the Sea', but the creativity and art is still there, it's just interwoven into the music more subtly. The band at its peak, an album with amazing consistency and quality throughout.

It started in Paris 06. Then they took Henry. Then in 2011, the Van Persie red card robbed us during a tie we were superior in.

Then they spent two years tapping up and taking Cesc Fabregas from us.

I can't really hold the various Messi demolitions against them, but what I do hold against them is the way they financially mismanaged their dominant position at the top of world football. HOW could you let that fall apart. You had the best team arguably ever for most of a decade. That should've been a platform to set you up financially to succeed FOREVER, and now they're selling the rights to their stadium just to make ends meet? Shambles.

I despise Barca for a lot of the same reasons, but I don't really get 'taking Henry from us'. We were clearly at the end of a cycle, Henry was like 30 and wanted/needed a CL win, and I doubt he would've gotten it with us (but hey, that 08 team!!!). He'd won everything else with us, so I felt it was a somewhat logical step? It's why, out of all the mercs that left us, the only one I can kind of accept at this point is Cole; he was an invincible, had won everything (save that CL),...

Much better than scum like Nasri or RvP who we babied for years in medbays and then he has one amazing season where he's not injured and he goes off.

It's like you his are saying Saving Private Ryan couldn't be a good movie because it wasn't "fun" enough.

A well made war movie is fantastic. To me it was not only a good war movie, but it existed in a universe I already enjoy.

I didn't need Rogue One to be fun, but I needed it to be at the very least interesting, which it never hits. Solo, opposed to Rogue One, should be fun, and very clearly tries to be, and it hits it well at times too.

First 3 are a lock imo, although FF VI could be swapped with IV considering IV is the prototype. After that it's a wildfire. Super Mario Kart is basically the OG Mario spin-off which paved the way for every kart, sport, and party game that came after in the Mario franchise. Yoshi's Island is pretty much the first succesful Mario spin-off if I'm not mistaken. Street Fighter II is Street Fighter II, probably equivalent to GoldenEye on the N64. Star Fox is Mode 7 crazies.

Have fun with it. I made a completely mixed build, alternating my points in every stat. I think that was mostly only possible in the old version however, as going off of PL it throws more stat checks your way and the game just seems a bit tougher in general, but I had a lot of fun with it that way, just by having the options of going stealth or guns blazing.

Someone above mentioned throwing knives, and while those are cool, most of the guns are pretty satisfying in this game.
