    The puns and banter I drop at work, are right in line with everything he's doing here. His wit and reaction time are way better, though.

    Is there a difference between the Duke and Nazi Bowie? That's the time Bowie did a lot of coke and started saying shit to get a reaction right?

    but also, how god damned Danzig is this track? Jesus christ.

    So, Bowie & Elvis have the same birthday, which is also the date Blackstar (the album) was released.

    That's a bit too much to be a coincidence.

    That's exactly enough to be a coincidence.

    Here in the UK 25% of the top 40 albums sold this week are Bowie's. Hunky Dory, which has always been a favourite of mine, got to 14.

    David Bowie albums make up 25% of top 40 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35326988

    Blackstar hit #1 but that was already well on the way there before his death because it's, frankly, brilliant.

    The Goblin King defies classification, categorization, rationalization or observation, or indeed any other attempt by any means to impose an Order upon Him that is not His Own (with the caveat that His Own Order may, under extraordinary circumstances, require Him to empower Another over himself).

    I would differentiate the Thin White Duke and Nazi Bowie by the simple fact that while Bowie was the Duke, he was literally made out of cocaine.

    Whereas Nazi Bowie is just this coked out dude trying to move Nazi memorabilia over international borders and, I mean, really who hasn't been there? It's all a bit pedestrian, know what I mean?

    is Omikron worth playing?

    that story about Bowie straight up wanting to write a whole album is damn cool, but i have a literal pile of games i haven't even touched yet.

    Omikron is demon as told by David Cage, also you get to have sex in it

    Marty: The future, it's where you're going?
    Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

    It's going to be like how there used to be a thriving black market for fake relics of saints, except everybody will be trying to buy some of his ashes to cut with their cocaine.
