Best ROM flier EVER.

Well, clearly someone needs to make LGPT letter sweaters. A cream cable-knit with pink stripes and detailing, I should think. So we can wear our new school colors.

I'd say a good pair of white flannel trousers can't be beat - full cut with a 3/4" cuff. Throw on some white bucks like the gentleman in this picture, but get a better hat and I'd personally avoid patch pockets on a double-breasted jacket with such wide peaked lapels (but that's really just down to a matter of taste and shoulder-build.) I think the rust-red of the foulard-pattern pocket square harmonizes well with the camelhair color of the jacket and that clay court red on the bottom of most bucks, but the pocket square is played up a bit too much. It shouldn't be hanging out of the pocket so far.

Dude up your Game Boy like this and soon you'll have nicotine-addicted blondes with dead, pupil-less eyes rooting for you instead of "H."

(I imagine that if some of you were to now look in a mirror, you might recognize that generally listless slack-eyebrowed wandering-eyed expression of lip-chewing out-of-depthness that conquers my face whenever people talk to me about video games. There's no accounting for passion, I suppose.)

Any chance of this going up as a paid download (e.g. Bandcamp etc.)? Want the music, want to pay/donate, not sure if I want the plastic.

I dunno. I hear the liner notes are pretty good.

Tate is going to be the new 8 Bit pin-up. He's going to give David Sugar a run for his money.

Sad I can't make it to this.

The writing isn't very good, but the information is pretty accurate (even if they did get Ary's last name wrong and forget to label the song as the RAC remix of Airbrushed.) The descriptions fall into some of the same old cliches, but everybody's quotes are spot-on. I think people like Jeremiah, Anamanaguchi, and Starscream have become wonderfully articulate spokespeople for something that's rather difficult to describe to someone unfamiliar with it. If it weren't for people like them providing the meat of these articles, we'd see a hell of a lot more "mario at a rave" assessments than we do even now. Thank you guys and congrats on the publicity!

Tomorrow! Hope to see everyone who posted there!

I was only asked to host because I have a bowtie. I hope I can live up to those expectations.

Alright, looks like TCTD got organized and set up an excellent donation system way before me and Saskrotch figured out what to do, so everybody send tracks to them! And donate money!

Yeah that is an excellent flier.

My new band. Although we just found out that the guitar player can't make it... so... me with a piano player.

Admittedly I'm not in Japan witnessing the devastation first hand, but I think this is humor in good taste and I second it.

I think the matter of taste here is subjective and questionable. I'd rather not step on any toes and pick something more benign. But thanks for suggesting. I do get the joke.
