the end where you had to navigate through the river was the best part

ExtraCheesePizza (June 22, 2009)

I believe you meant hunting was the best part.

ffwoodycooks (June 22, 2009)

hunting was a third rate duck hunt

baldsteve (June 22, 2009)

The Oregon Trail is an educational computer game developed by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger in 1971 and produced by MECC in 1974.

Duck Hunt is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) game console system, developed and published by Nintendo, and was released in 1984 in Japan

Can't be third rate if you are first.

ffwoodycooks (June 22, 2009)

all the people that developed Oregon Trail had funny names

baldsteve (June 22, 2009)

I hope that one dude was known as Hiney-Man.

ffwoodycooks (June 22, 2009)

my thoughts exactly

ExtraCheesePizza (June 22, 2009)

Maybe we played different versions? What I remember from gradeschool is not like Duck Hunt at all.

And on further reflection, I had more fun naming everyone than anything else. Like naming everyone after the Donner Party, setting rations to meager and pace to grueling, then laughing at the results.

baldsteve (June 22, 2009)

Yeah, that game was awesome. Torture motherfuckers, Torture

ExtraCheesePizza (June 22, 2009)

"In the original version, there were no graphics and players were timed on how fast they could type "BANG," "WHAM," or "POW," with misspelled words resulting in a failed hunt. Later, players would control a little man who was capable of pointing a rifle in eight directions and firing single shots at animals. In later versions, players hunted with a crosshair controlled by the mouse."
-from wikipedia

That first version sounds like it sucks real bad. I used to play the "little man" version.

baldsteve (June 22, 2009)

I played the original version, it was fun then...until I played the one with the little stickfigure guy... that was far superior.

AmericanRiot (June 22, 2009)

is it true you are so old that you were hunting on the actual oregon trail expedition?

baldsteve (June 22, 2009)

I'm so old, my birth was text-based

ffwoodycooks (June 22, 2009)

i named everyone after the backstreet boys

its a wonder i made it through grade school without ever getting the shit kicked out of me.

baldsteve (June 22, 2009)

THE BACKSTREET BOYS? How old are you?

ffwoodycooks (June 22, 2009)

18

SloaneDaley (June 22, 2009)

now even I feel old, great.

ExtraCheesePizza (June 22, 2009)

I am shocked that you know about it. My sister your age never even heard of it when I mentioned it to her before.

ExtraCheesePizza (June 22, 2009)

Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers were also favorites of mine.

ffwoodycooks (June 22, 2009)

power rangers? so, you just named them after colors?

baldsteve (June 22, 2009)

The colors represented in the Wynona Riders version of the theme song were fucking amazing.

Orange Power Ranger - Community Service Worder
Black Power Ranger...PANTHER

ExtraCheesePizza (June 22, 2009)

Pretty much. putting "Red Ranger" and then "stomped by giant monster" on the tombstone.

scientistrock (June 22, 2009)

I always named the guy whatever name I had wished I had instead of John that day, the wife after whatever girl I had a crush on, and the kids after a bunch of my friends and my brother. I'd try very hard to make my brother the first to die.

the_other_scott (June 22, 2009)

What. The. Fuck.

Banal242 (June 22, 2009)

Crow, then cookie, then bring crow back, then fox, then go back for crow

Preston (June 22, 2009)

Nicely done.

consider_the_ravens (June 22, 2009)

Good comparison. This would be some weak ass MBD. though.

smits (June 22, 2009)

Good call

Preston (June 22, 2009)

It's a pretty cool video. Song is boring, but I can tell they tried really hard to not sound like mall emo.

IamtheAvatar (June 22, 2009)

haha they've never sounded anything like "mall emo" so I don't know why they'd have to try to avoid it. This record is wonderfully original sounding just like their other records. Also, while I like this song, it's easily the most poppy they've ever written and not a very good indicator of what the rest of the album sounds like, besides the parable-like lyrics.

elliot (June 22, 2009)

Ugh, THIS is what they sound like now? Not for me, thanks.

jeffernator (June 22, 2009)

I used to like T&N a long time ago. Now they just suck.

InaGreendase (brian) (June 22, 2009)

Although, this band is certainly not an indicator of that decline.

Marizo (June 22, 2009)

Their new album is certainly a long far off transition from their old material, but I like it alot. At least they're not making the same album over and over like most of the stuff you cretins listen to here.

zerosum (June 22, 2009)

I saw these guys live a few years back, and it was amazing. This is a completely different band. And I am not fond of the new sound.

It's not as much of a departure as you probably think. The live show is still amazing and the lyrics are still pronounced with as much conviction as they ever have.

LookBackAndLaugh (June 23, 2009)

Aaron Weiss' life must have got a lot better, because this album has absolutely ZERO tension musically and lyrically.

I'll give it another try, but it was definitely a disappointment, and I've liked every album prior to this.
