"I am leaving, I am leaving," but the fighter still remains

You know what's awesome? When a game plays itself for your benefit. Case in point: For two days only, Gears of War 2 had an all ticker Horde, which makes the Horde achievements easier. Now, keep in mind, I had two achievements for going 1-20, another for 1-30, 1-40, and 1-50 on specific maps. Then there were two others for doing 1-10 on each map of a DLC pack. Altogether, that's 240 waves of Horde. Even for two days, that's a little much. And that's why I found out that you can plug your controller in, put your character in a corner, and if you did it right, the enemies would blow up and give enough time to regenerate. Just check every 20-30 minutes to be sure you didn't die.

I'm down to the last 40 waves. I declare it to be a good exploit.

Track #9: Queen - The Show Must Go On
The story for this is that it was the last song Freddie Mercury ever recorded, and he was too weak to do the vocals, but Brian May couldn't hit the high notes. Freddie delivers anyway, and what you hear is the only recorded take.

Album #9: Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
Once again, I have an issue similar to that I had with The Beatles. This entire album is golden, and with maybe one exception, any two tracks you pull from this album would be worthy of posted here as "this is what the album is about."

Okay, I really want to know what people think about The Boxer. I got into an argument-not-argument about interpretations on the song and I want to see how others see it.

The Only Living Boy in New York is one my radio station has been playing more often than not. There's really nothing I can add to that, just enjoy.

Artist #9: Rush
Rush satiates a lot of my prog rock urges. If I want something that's technically proficient with deep lyrics I may or may not agree with, this is the band I go to.

YYZ will melt your face off. Dueling drum and bass solos before the guitar solo kicks in. It's an instrumental, but it kicks serious ass. By the way, the entire band is in this. Even the vocalist. Geddy Lee doesn't just stand around during the song, he basses the fuck out of it. I just like it when the vocalist isn't just the vocalist.

The Trees was a song I thought I got for the longest time, but didn't really. This is probably my favorite Rush song past YYZ.
