I was too shy to sing a single note in front of people until the day I saw my friend butchering Pixies' "Wave of Mutilation" and then I had it take the mic and show how it's done. I enjoy karaoke to this day because that moment helped me break through my fears.

My honest answer is the drowning music from Sonic 2. But the first time I played a "scary game" was the last couple levels of Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith. Huge, growling, ambushing monsters. Darkness, thunder, no guns. It's the first time I felt the stress I later felt playing Dead Space.

I remember every album that was borrowed and not returned. Jim W has my Zao CD (with the DVD with all the Steve Albini studio banter!), Gregg T has Portishead... all are dead to me.

Be well, Plante. I'm parasocially rooting for you. There's a lot of things to be sad about these days, but I have room in my heart to be sad for Polygon, too.

It was all nu-metal. It was always nu-metal. Ever since 1991, the year nu-metal broke.

Every time I've faced a friend's incredulity over a movie I missed, I always deflect by telling them I never saw Wizard of Oz. I think I need to keep it that way.

The threat of impending tariffs lowered my resistance to impulse buying Chinese tech. Bought a Hiby R4 Digital Audio Player because I wanted to be able to wear my big Sennheiser headphones while I fold laundry, and phone dongles suck. DAP life is grand! But now I've started buying Chinese IEMs...

"Oh shit. He's mad that I slept in and didn't shovel until noon on the last snow day. I hate the way he passive aggressively clears my section of the sidewalk with his snowblower in three minutes."

Telling my homies Liz Lopatto liked my massage chair metaphor so much she put it in the lede. It originally occurred to me after I had sat motionlessly through all 9 minutes of "Ka Re Ha Te Ta Sa Ki -- No Ones Grieve" by Boris. Nice work, Liz!

Is it heavy in a chill, massage chair way (Electric Wizard, Boris) or heavy where I'm making the stankiest stank face while I abandon all hope for humanity? (Indian, Primitive Man, The Body)
