OOT3D hasn't gotten me to buy one yet, but OOT3D + MM3D + an entirely new game that's nothing like Phantom Hourglass or "that choo choo game with Zelda branding" would make it a must-buy for me. But Zelda games usually take a long time, and maybe it would be a good idea to get Majora's Mask out first with the help of a third party. I don't want to hear the cries of "nothing but a port machine" if they do, though.

I can't wait. I got the boxed set and "Ben Folds 55" digital collection that just came out and all this live material has me jonesing for his shows. No one else keeps bringing me back to the piano like Folds, though I've accepted I'll never play like that.

I went to a bunch of all-ages punk shows, but no one I saw then ever made it big. I kept seeing Yes now and then over the years, more for the lineup changes than because of any hope that they'd somehow get raw again. I was eternally bummed that I never got a chance to see Led Zeppelin, what with them breaking up when I was 11, but I'd be more likely to see Them Crooked Vultures than a Led Zeppelin reunion today. These days I feel like you look in the third panel when I go to see Ben Folds, even though I was 26 when I got his band's first album. I did eventually see them live once before they broke up, but Folds on his own manages to seem simultaneously more raw and more entertaining than they were as a band. Of the bands I most regret missing when they were together, at the top of the list is Grandaddy. Soundgarden? Easily my favorite band to come out of that whole Seattle scene. I skipped this tour because a couple years ago I saw Cornell doing some Soundgarden songs with his band at some festival on TV, and he just seemed... bored. Hated his solo albums, so I sighed and wrote him off. Now that I hear they're still worth seeing, I'm sad I didn't go. To see them with my current favorite rock band, Queens of the Stone Age, as an opening act would have been a 15-year-old-me moment for sure, but I live on the wrong coast for that. I'll see them next summer to promote their new album... and, to be honest, probably Yes too.

No Babylon 5? I understand you were like 9 and all, but I was watching Star Blazers and the first Battlestar Galactica at that age. (And yeah, I knew how cheesy they were, but a boy's gotta get his space opera somewhere.)

Now I can finally start working on my bastardized diabetic-safe version! Thanks!

Yes, in the pilot itself, but it was cut. Jaime Paglia said so in an interview years ago which, as I type this, is the first hit when you google jaime paglia +bookend. As with Doctor Who, real life caused me to get so far behind in the 3rd season that I was never able to catch up. But I'll be sad to see it go, nonetheless. Even if I never get the chance to see the whole series, it makes Warehouse 13 richer by sharing its universe in a whimsical, probably-not-entirely-canonical way.

I'll have to see if I can afford the 25 bucks for admission and still have any left over to buy signed swag, assuming you're doing the whole con. And the Explosm guys too, I suppose. Haven't been to a con since the one at which my band played in 1988 (that was enough LARPing for my entire life), so that should be surreal.

I'm sure I still have them around somewhere, but I don't even know where our DVD player ended up, much less our VCR. Then George Lucas did the kindest, most heartwarming thing he could have ever done for us. He made "Phantom Menace" a total piece of shit. In the space of substantially less than 2 hours and 13 minutes, I was completely cured of my Star Wars fandom. The only part of that evening I haven't blocked out was where a (long since ex-)coworker walked into the theater men's room behind me and gave me a not-so-little show. That was far, far more appropriate than what I saw on the big screen that fateful night.

I even bought the "special edition". (It has a rotten tomatoes rating of 20. How was there even a special edition?) It's not an exaggeration to say this is one of my top 5 movies. I don't need to pretend it's ironic because everyone just assumes it is... My other favorites are The Big Lebowski, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Serenity and Heathers, so I guess I'm just a cult movie kind of guy.
