    The xbone elite is supposed to be a good controller. For pc though it seems like overkill as a lot of the features are kinda aimed at console fps players. And why are you playing fpses with that thing on a pc instead of kbam if you're trying to be super elite or whatever?

    I can't decide what to play tonight.

    Oxenfree sounds cool but I don't want to feel things. Maybe battle brothers...

    But it's called Elite. Elite! You have to have one or else you run the risk of being seen as common gamer.

    Ok.

    I have now watched Brotherhood, the FF15 anime. I have watched Kingsglaive, the FF15 movie. I have played the Platinum Demo. I have done all the required reading to enjoy the actual game proper when it arrives in two days time.

    Initial Thought:
    Man, Noctis is seriously the most pathetic and boring character to base this game on, huh? All his car bros have better stories, Nyx from Kingsglaive is more interesting, hell, let me play as King Regis or Lunafreya. This is a rich world with interesting mythology and politics and players and they seriously decided to make a game about the whiny, narcoleptic, entitled little slacker-prince?

    Japan gonna Japan, I guess. :P

    I'm willing to grant that he might get more interesting in the game proper, but based on Brotherhood and the Platinum Demo, dude is absolute worthless human garbage and no one would give his ass the time of day if he wasn't royalty.

    Entitled shits like Noctis are why monarchies fall.

    Yeah Noct's initial characterization kinda doesn't even match how he actually acts throughout most of the game. He gets some more development in the actual story, but in the open-world interactions he's really not mopey at all.

    Tennis - Ladies Don't Play Guitar This song here. This song right here has some lyrics with important words. Those lyrics rest on an absolutely dreamy melody driven forward by steadfast vocals with a feminine mystique that emulates the lyrical content

    "Ladies just need your love
    Don't you know we are all caught up in it
    Baby I've been listening
    I can be the archetype of whatever you're feeling"


    It's self-aware, powerful, and fun. What more can you ask for? Plus after Hillary was defeated we need more female voices speaking up.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hZCsgcKa-g

    Childish Gambino - Me and Your Mama Sometimes a youtube comment says it best "Damn, this track is the lovechild of Pink Floyd and James Brown" and WhereMyKeys couldn't be more correct. There's a definite dash of soul and a hint of funk added to the mix but Gambino has solidified his position among the pantheon of unforgettable artists with this release. It comes on slow and strong with no need to worry about play times or radio standards. Building up an idea and motif before pulsating into a soul shaking base. . .and then comes Gambino. The backing vocals call to gospel while Gambino's simultaneously poised and warbling voice alerts you that this is something new. Continuously alternating between the old and new while dabbling in daring moments of falsetto. The track has the long lost funk and soul (F&S) that folks have been trying to dig up from the past with a fresh new coat of paint and brilliant delivery.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_oA9UmRd4I

    The XX - On Hold Is it the Hall and Oates sample or am I crazy? This song just drives and drives with a simple message that we can all feel. Jamie's simple delivery with Romy's flourish create a vocal to and fro that's simply unmatched. The song presents a beautiful question with the distinct sense of wonder that can only come from something beautiful that was lost. Not to mention it makes you want to dance a bit.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACinCwmWalY

    Blood Orange ft Empress Of - Best To You If I only said "I cannot" I would feel like an absolutely awful hack of a consumer but also entirely justified in my response. The production on this jaunty jam is sublime. Nothing is overstated and nothing is understated. Blood Orange creates a longing and desire through rhythmic drums and pads filled with boundless energy. The music manages to ride a synthetic wave with a beautiful touch of sincerity brought about through Empress Of's evocative and chilling vocals. Blood Orange provides back-up in this instance and the harmony between the two grounds the song in a way that "I cannot" as she reaches for the stars he grounds the production with deep and thoughtful lofty sounds echoed in the beckoning chorus.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt9N_yHvwyM

    Cloud Nothings - Modern Act Who would have guessed that they were still making good pop punk? Cloud Nothings have been on the scene for a while but with their most recent release they've really come into their own. They've found a voice and it's full of youth, rebellion, and delicious angst. The chorus belts out "I want a life, that's all I need lately. I am alive but all alone" and the sentiment is echoed through each verse. The idea of youth lost and finding new energy shine through the song in a way that makes most love ballads seem simply uninspired. If you ever enjoyed pop punk and wonder what to do with the now this is the tune for you.

    Young MA - Quiet Storm
    Welcome back East Coast Rap it's been a while. Young MA comes into the scene with a bravado and passion for the art that has been unseen for years. She casually dismisses all rappers and stereotypes in clever and poignant verses backed by Mobb Depp's 1999 classic. The track is self-aware and aggressive without relent. It may not be as catchy as the breakthrough "Ooouuu" but it delivers stylistically and presents a voice that the rap game has been in need of for years.


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEP-Qpw3lHg

    Aphex Twin - CIRKLON3 There's no denying the influence that Richard D James has had on the electronic scene and while this may not top some of his earlier work it absolutely deserves a spot on the pedestal with the rest. Keeping up with the Twin is a difficult task these days after the soundcloud dump and numerous unofficial releases but here we have something genuine. The track has everything that signified early Aphex Twin and manages to maintain an approach to the soundscape that is fresh and engaging. A connection between minimalism and the electronic cacophony of modern times. It makes me a bit sad that this is the single electronic song on my list but of everything i've heard in this year it stands above the rest as something with a definite identity and few imitations.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMnUPy4dp4k

    Nice as Fuck - Door What else is there to say? You've got Jenny Lewis. You've got Erika Forster from Au Revior Simone and you've got some GIVE A DAMN. This may be a fun side project from all of the ladies involved but this is energetic pop punk with a powerful indie vibe. It's worth chanting. It's worth jumping up and down to. It's worth chanting "don't close the door!" because it is every bit an embodiment of their moniker Nice As Fuck. Put this in your ears. It's hard not to give it the number one spot because it's simply infectious .

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu-NvEec8y8

    Allegaeon - Gray Matter Mechanics I did not do my dilligence with metal this year and that is a true regret. While yes I know Metallica released a new album that actually isn't bad I thought it would be best to keep moving forward the new. Allegaeon has put forth a track with melody, death, and technicality worth discovering. Everything here is tidy and with purpose. The song finds a melodic rut and churns into it with precision and a welcome simplicity. Yes, they could do more during the solos but why over stuff the box when it has been measured exactly and fulfilled?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8

    David Bowie - Lazarus Yes i'm pretty sure that's the feeling of your skeleton slipping out of your body. The song dares to open with "Look up here i'm in heaven." and from there Bowie reminds you that through all of his iterations and personas he absolutely sets the scene. The song is more of a dirge than a tune and the lyrics speak to the cloying fever dream of a man in hospice. Every word I write about this song is a disservice to one of the greatest artists my senses have ever had the privilege to enjoy. While his death makes this track more poignant the art remains something to behold.

    Things that annoy me about Uber:

    1) Drivers that try to converse with me about roads and best routes and shit. Bro, I don't know and I don't want to know. That's why I'm in an Uber and not driving myself around. How do you not get this after the first ten "I dunno"s?

    2) Drivers that incessantly ask me about the real estate near where I live. First off, asking what I pay for rent is kind of rude. Second: I. Am. Not. Your. Real. Estate. Broker. I'm in your car to get from Point A to Point B. Jesus Christ.
