I listened to Primus' sailing the seas of cheese for first time in over a decade recently. Never understood it initially. Thought it was a little too weird and preferred the tempo of frizzle fry.

Now it seems like a pinnacle of a 90s music, a psychedelic record reflecting the surreal cynicism of America's youth. Highly recommend to anyone interested in prog, metal, hard rock, or grunge.

Loved Sailing the Seas of Cheese. I haven't listened to it in a really long time but I remember really loving Jerry was a Race Car Driver and Tommy the Cat

How long was the battle in the demo?

About 10 minutes. Then cutscene, back to main map. Clicked on all the side-quests hoping I could have more battles, get more experience & find other units. Cutscene, then back to map. Huh. Click on main story. Cutscene. Then back to map.

There was some exploratory stage like a typical 2D RPG and then more cutscenes. When I was bumped out to the map again, tried another side quest hoping for a battle, but nope. Cutscene. Back to the main map and click on the red dot to advance the story. Cutscene. Then I'm back to the map and I just couldn't take it anymore. I had about 2 hours invested and I wasn't willing to invest any more.

I was kinda wondering about the class/job customization given how many people were comparing it to FFT.

It's closer to Fire Emblem. You don't create the characters, just find them. And as far as I can tell you are locked into weapons and class for each character.

Supposedly there are a lot of of characters to recruit, but I clocked nearly 2 hours with only 1 battle in the demo. No way I'm sitting through all of that nonsense.

I was very disappointed with Octopath Traveler so I'm a bit hesitant on Triangle Strategy. Live A Live looks like one of the first games to use that beautiful look that will actually be a decent game.

I thought the world of Octapth - it was a great game IMO. One of the best in the last decade.

I'm most looking forward to the Dragon Quest 3 HD remake - but who knows when that will come. Live A Live is also a great game - glad to see the style take hold. Triangle Strategy looks great, it just plays like garbage.

I have been looking forward to this game all year. I was planning to take a few days off work when it came out just so I could sit down and play it non-stop.

It looks great - but you never get to play anything. It is just cutscene after cutscene. No customizable characters & virtually no customization that I can see.

I haven't been this disappointed since someone recommended Undertale. I'm so glad they had a demo so I don't have to spend any money on this game.

Hard to say a specific season. There are definitely iconic episodes spread throughout the series.

Chimpokomon was Season 3
Cartman joins NAMBLA was Season 4
Scott Tenorman must die was Season 5
Christian Rock Hard and FatButt and Pancake Head was Season 7
Awesome-O and Good Times with Weapons and Woodland Critter Christmas were in Season 8
Make Love not Warcraft was Season 10
Le Petit Tourette was Season 11
Fishticks and Butters Bottom bitch was in Season 13
You have 0 friends was Season 14
You're getting Old was Season 15
Ginger Cow was Season 17
Grounded Vindaloop was Season 18

I'm a sucker for the first season - but I was at watch parties for each episode in college - so heavy nostalgia for me on those. I remember finding the original Christmas card and thinking how crude it was compared to the show, but looking back today it is pretty much the same style.

Sounds like you got quite a few of those episodes in your sets.

I've pretty much checked out on this game. I gave it a week.

In the end - it's very meh. Not nearly as good as Pokemon Red/Blue & Yellow.

I think it's the action RPG parts of the game that really suck. Most of the turn-based stuff was ok (even that had issues though - like levels nearly worthless), but between the action RPG elements and un-skippable cutscenes, I'll probably never touch this game again.

If you are looking for a keyboard, you probably want something like a Yamaha YDP144 with weighted keys.

Personally, I would go with something like the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol - but in order to make it 'sound good', it needs to have a PC with Kontakt. There are some amazing libraries available - especially piano ones. More expensive, but in the end more portable and flexible.
