I used to keep up with Eisley but they had a new album come out this year and I just realized it last week. I kinda of fell off after their last album didn't grab me. I still don't know how I feel about this new version if the band but I did like this song below right away. Their album "Combinations" is coming up on its 10th anniversary this year, I love that one.
I'm in awe of this amazing game. It's the best Nintendo game I've played in my lifetime.

Direct interference in a person's life does not enter our scope of activity, nor, on the other, tralatitiously speaking, hand, is his destiny a chain of predeterminate links: some 'future' events may be linked to others, O.K., but all are chimeric, and every cause-and-effect sequence is always a hit-and-miss affair, even if the lunette has actually closed around your neck, and the cretinous crowd holds its breath.

It's OVERWATCH, that's the game of the year, period. It was also the game my PS4 playing pals and I agreed was the GOTY.
The Rest.....
Dark Souls 3
Not an evolution...nostalgic to the first Dark Souls..still pure joy. Some of the best Co-Op gaming this year for me.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Best ending/epilogue to a series....best game ending this year...best game ending since Last of Us.
BioShock: The Collection
It's Bioshock. Next year will mark a decade you've been listening to me talk about it, 'nuff said.

I don't want this game to end. Good thing you can/should/are meant to play it twice as the different characters.

WATCH DOGS 2
I really got into Mr Robot this year and this is kinda Mr Robot the game BUT it's the countless hours I've spent having fun in the seamless Co-Op and PVP modes that really got me. I even made it to Master in the leaderboards for Hacking Invasions which are so satisfying when pulled off. This was the "whatever I'll try this game...whoa its great....damn i'm obsessed" of the year for me.
Darkest Dungeon
An acquired taste of Art, Style, Lore and Game Play that finally made it to PS4 this year.
+ Best RPG 2016: Darkest Dungeon

Invisible, Inc.
I thought my favorite strategy game of the year was going to be XCOM 2 but this one consumed me way way more.
Forza Horizon 3
Best racing game since my second best fave racer Dirt 2. Honorable mention: The best racer ever, Burnout Paradise, is now backwards compatible on Xbox One. Finally!

Hearing this song on the Spiderman: Homecoming trailer reminded me of the best use of it, the finale for Skins, the original generation.
Sometimes when I listen to First we take Manhattan it reminds me of Batman...
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

I got into LC after hearing a bootleg of Tori Amos singing Famous Blue Raincoat in the 90's, then I read Beautiful Losers and the rest is history for me. Here are all my LC posts.

Twenty-year-old women think that forty-year-old men are too old to date. Thirty-year-old men think they’re young enough to date twenty-year-old women, while thirty-year-old women think they’re old enough to date forty-year-old men. Forty-year-old men think we’re all in the same general dating “age range.” Forty-year-old women think that forty-year-old men are too immature for them to date.
What are the chances that on the same day we have Lois Lane and Alfred in Batman suits.
ok this is last weeks, I forgot to do it over the weekend.
I missed properly celebrating the 20th anniversary of Fiona's first album. So much of my early internet history is wrapped up in Fiona stuff. Anyways, that's ancient history, just go listen to the album.
This was the review that got me to buy her album and the first time I heard of her:
