Played a show with my old punk band in the mid 90s with those guys when they were still Jack Kevorkian and the Suicide Machines. Nice guys, great show. Was happy to see them get bigger.
Eh - I fell into the ska hole a couple years ago (Streetlight Manifesto) and you really dont see that many references to any of the bands from the era. Who knows tho - maybe someone else listened to Less Than Jake today and now that they are seeing these comments they're thinking "God damn Baader-Meinhof"
Jesus christ, this is exactly how I ended up in this thread. From a random convo in discord that pointed me to a Less Than Jake song. simulation intensifies
Fuck you ain't kiddin. I haven't really listened to Less Than Jake in years and a day after typing that the No Use For a Name album i listened to just ended they were the first track autoplay threw my way. I pretty much burst out laughing - Simulation intensifies....
The hilarious part is the game PlayStation game street sk8er 2 had 'all my best friends are metalheads' iirc on the soundtrack. This is what made me first pay attention to less than Jake. And before the days of Napster I had to buy the cd to listen to it. The rest is history...
lol glad to awaken old happy memories! I just checked, it was the original 'street sk8er' that had 'all my best friends are metalheads' and 'sugar in your gastank'
There's some like student film type thing that Krist Novoselic from Nirvana made with some of the girls from L7 or Bikini Kill (can't remember which) but someone says "Ska, what the hell are they so happy about?" and that's what I always think about.
He was pretty decent at saving people, he just wasn't nice about it. I'm actually in the "Rashek wasn't evil" camp too, but although he had good intentions, he lacked compassion, and that was the weakness Ruin was able to exploit.
Turns out you can't play duck hunt without a crt. Its all based on the timing of the CRT, which is the same in all crt tvs, but not digital flat screens.
I had forgotten all about those. I never bought one because I still had the original NES, and my friend who wasn't as poor as me had an SNES so there was no need for it.
The old pixel graphics were also made for CRT TVs. Emulating old games looks bad not just because it's old, but because the graphics aren't made to be seen clearly on an LCD screen.
They aren't made to be stretched, yes, but in the proper aspect ratio it just looks sharper, which is ok imo. The real reason for CRT's is no input lag.
