    I'm not a regular Daily Show viewer but that was pure gold. Jon's expressions alone had me cracking up throughout.

    I'll throw in another vote for Redbreast 12yo. It's risen significantly in price in recent years but still reasonable enough, given the quality, to remain a fixture in the cabinet. Some nice alternatives in Irish single pots are Green Spot and Yellow Spot, both lovely and lively without any harshness.

    I'm not very well-versed on the Scotch end of things, though I typically turn to a Glenfiddich 12 when the mood strikes, but a nice related avenue that I've been exploring is Japanese whiskeys which are very much in the Scotch tradition. It's up on the 'special occasions' shelf but I've a bottle of Suntory Hibiki that is a beautiful blend.

    Sláinte!

    At the Gates were a huge influence on me as a guitarist and writer growing up, and still continue to inspire. Amongst the flourishing Gothenburg scene in the early to mid 90s it was Lindberg's blackened rasps imbuing his more thoughtful lyrics with an extra edge of haunting desperation that really helped AtG stick out from the pack. RIP to another metal legend.

    I wasn't aware of that, and it looks like my 6a qualifies for the reimbursement, cheers! Though I am quite dubious about signing up to Payoneer.

    So far, the only thing that has stuck for my 7yo, besides cartoon theme tunes, has been Zombie by The Cranberries. Oddly enough, I've played everything from Classical to Death Metal around him and the only thing he ever asked me to turn off was a Linkin Park song, make of that what you will (I still have a nostalgic spot for Hybrid Theory).

    Typical exchange usually goes like this:
    <Metallica playing in car>
    Me: do you like this song?
    Him: yeah
    Me: what do you like about it?
    Him: I dunno

    Rinse and repeat for pretty much any tune.

    These never get old, still a go-to for a round of chuckles after a few drinks with some friends. They inspired a whole genre of cartoon redubs to boot, a personal favorite being Teesside Tintin.

    The ones that tend to stick in my mind are all the old song videos, typically those that employed humorously crappy MS Painted artwork or clever editing, as was the style at the time*. And I'd argue that Hollywood still hasn't caught up with the quality of action choreography in the stick figure animations from that era.

    Group X - Schfifty Five
    Dark Materia - The Picard Song - there was a great flash video for this but can't find it atm
    Badger Badger Badger <- stick on infinite loop

    First I've heard of this. I was initially wondering if it was the adaptation of Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War: A Scenario that Denis Villeneuve is working on but way too soon for that. Intrigued, nonetheless, and I would highly recommend Jacobsen's book in the meantime for any others interested - some terrifying shit in there.

    I just finished up The Last of Us Part II and loved it from start to finish. It followed a recent replay of Part I, with both being the remastered versions on PC, so I dove into it for the first time with that still fresh in mind and got to experience the story as whole which has cemented it as probably one of my favourite gaming experiences now. So many twists, turns and emotional gut punches in the narrative with some real philosophical depth underpinning it all. What I found most affecting was how the characters are so well-written that you get pulled into them on an emotional level and can really empathise with the motivations behind their actions while still being aware of the ethical problems they raise, I can't remember any game ever developing such a moral conflict in me as a player. Just superbly crafted throughout.

    Another World (5)
    Beneath a Steel Sky (5)
    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (5)
    The Secret of Monkey Island (5)

    Two I hadn't played before and two I would love to replay. If I hadn't played Chrono Trigger again so recently I would certainly have thrown a few votes that way, a bonafide GOAT contender for sure.
