  1. wait what? they're chickening out?
  2. i tried watching the Pittsburgh/Carolina game tonight, and after a few minutes, realized I wasn't that desperate to watch football.
  3. I'll take "Posts that will never show up on TexAgs" for $100, Alex.
  4. Was really enjoying this album, and then I found a hidden obsession with... Fun facts about this song THE IMMORTALS was in fact Praga Khan and Olivier Adams of Lords of Acid fame (and LoA's popularity was how Midway came to reach out to them to do THIS album) Which makes this the second link to Belgium for OG Mortal Kombat, given that Johnny Cage was supposed to be/based on JCVD. But this particular song was only Olivier Adams; Khan had to go to a meeting with the label, so he fired up his Atari ST and did it himself. Dude, it was written on a fuckin' Atari ST, man. How cool is that Nobody realized until years later how big this song would be. Khan and Adams would occasionally receive faxes with charting info about Lords of Acid, but received no news on this. The "MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAT!" yell was by a Texan who did it for the TV advertisements, and also had no idea until years later how famous his yell would be. (Adams would later admit that it was that sample, that yell, that made the song.) Jonathan Oyama of VentureBeat once claimed that "Techno Syndrome" is based on "Twilight Zone" by 2 Unlimited, but It obviously isn't Adams had not heard that song prior to making this No lawsuit was ever even filed, nor complaint made It obviously is not, just very similar.
  5. i like this post didn't read a single word of it
  6. can those of y'all who think so highly of Alabama's coach at least do him the common courtesy of spelling his goddamn name right
  7. I have both of them on Ignore. As bad as Derka can be, he does, occasionally, contribute value. I've never seen Motown contribute a goddamn thing. So... you want him to think about what he just typed?
  8. Terry Crews is a national treasure
  9. I don't follow golf much, so I had to look up when the Ryder Cup was, and how many wins Scottie'd logged so far. (Knew Scottie had already won a couple this year, but wanted to know when.) hehe hehehehe hehehehehe BWAHAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA https://www.espn.com/golf/player/results/_/id/9478/scottie-scheffler

    Whatcha reading?

    All this. Libby and Unlimited save us hundreds on the books my daughter reads alone. Anyway... I just finished, recently released, book 10 of this series: GREAT action scenes. But this is the first one of the series where I really felt the guy needed an editor. Styx is SUCH a fun character, and her character and the fast pacing make up for many flaws. Currently reading this... It's Pargin... quirky fun horror shit. When done with that, I'm going to read... The first book was really quite good; survival horror/military SF.
  11. I'm loving the positivity about our team this year and the negativity about OU and Aggy, but man... I've been fooled so many times before. I wanna believe, but I'm Missouri now.
  12. What is he doing to that poor dog's ass
  13. The soundtrack to the home release of Mortal Kombat was made by a band named THE IMMORTALS. Who are THE IMMORTALS? Oh, nobody, really... just Praga Khan and Olivier Adams, much better known as the Lords of Acid. you'd better run
  14. I mean they're all 3 cartoon dog names, so I figure Scooby would be next.
