A) Skyrim is $20 for the Legendary Edition at GameStop right now, and B) I got more enjoyment out of Skyrim than any piece of clothing could ever give me.

The fact that they dropped the price on the Legendary edition so much and yet still haven't made the DLC cheaper.
So very annoy.

Ha, found it! Looked at Wikipedia's Floating Island page and found that it is called Dragon Hunters.

You can buy a jacket that is the same design as Adam Jensen's.
The world has just become a better place in my eyes.

Page seems to redirect to the site's homepage. Sadly.

As neat as some of their stuff looks, I can't help but think

Yo, that's $50 for a t-shirt!

And that's not even getting into the several-hundred-dollar coats. I'm sure it's cheap in "fashion" terms but that only reinforces how ridiculous that industry is.

Skyrim is 60$ and you can't wear Skyrim.

I bought the Legendary Edition for less than $10 and I've played about 400 hours of it. Your move.

Wow, American Horror Story is actually really good.
I hadn't read much about it  apart from someone's post on Facebook a while ago, I wasn't really expecting to like it, but it is good. I heartily recommend it to anyone. The only problem is, it may be a little addictive... and Netflix makes binge-watching so easy.

Ahhhhh, it just keeps getting better.
This is definitely going to be one of those pieces of media where I'm in a weird mood for days after thinking about it. It's rare for a TV show to have this affect on me... books yes, movies sometimes, but I think the only TV show that's been nearly this gripping was Twin Peaks. I enjoy plenty of shows, sure, but they generally don't leave me moping around for days after they're finished.

I'm glad I still have two seasons of it to go.

Netflix eats our internet. Telstra is not our friend.

Lawyer has been having a tech problem for quite some time. I figured it out in 5 minutes worth of research. ^_^

The Protomen is a good album. I should have bought this sooner.

Make sure to get Act II. It's a very different sound, but still distinctly them, even without the very nice rough, dirty aesthetic of the first album. Here are two samples. Act III is on the horizon as well.

The Protomen are incredible!  I've managed to see them live three times - I may be a fanboy
There's a whole genre of music for telling stories with intense beats, right?  Like Phish's album Gamehenge, or some of Hawkwind's tracks?  Not sure where to look.  I really enjoyed Repo-man, too, which I guess is a... musical?

Optus, baby!

Also I finished the first season of the show.
I had been planning on going out, drinking and being sociable today, but now all I'm looking forward to is watching the next one.

I've seen them live once. Despite being in a bar it was an 18+ show. It's the only concert I've ever enjoyed going to.

[Rolan7]

Same here!  It was in a local bar, and I've never enjoyed live music so much.  I haven't tried much, though, besides getting dragged to concerts with family.  Probably different when it's music I like.

[AlleeCat]

I've been to concerts for bands I liked, but I never really enjoyed them. The Protomen have a bit more audience participation.

In response to your question, Rolan, the term I've heard is 'Rock Opera'.

[scrdest]

In response to your question, Rolan, the term I've heard is 'Rock Opera'.

Or, more rarely, suite.

A large number of progressive rock/metal songs are also this in a more condensed form - a full format rock opera is usually an entire album, a'la Quadrophenia or The Wall, both clocking at 81 minutes, whereas, for example, Rush's 2112 is a quarter of that and is just one song on an album.

The Wall is actually a double album, though I'm fairly sure that's just to get more money because the actual content of the story is well less than half the total length. One of the reasons I think The Wall is overrated is because it's so full of filler, usually in the form of Roger Waters whining near-inaudibly while playing a few sparse acoustic guitar chords.

Isn't that like 99,99% of post-Barrett Floyd?
