This was the whole band - I got to hang out w/ them all night before & after this concert in 2013 because my friend's brother-in-law is Noodles.
I also met them once at Warped Tour in the MySpace tent 🤣🤣🤣
Dexter & Noodles were both very cool!

I went back & found this - literally a screenshot from a 2015 FB post (check the image - you can see the date!). Me teaching my then 3-month-old daughter about why Scream 3 sucks 🤣🤣🤣

Screenshot from the music video "Danny Don't You Know" by Ninja Sex Party. 2 very sad-looking men wear party hats at an obviously sad & lonely birthday party. The lyrics during this section of the song, for those who know, are: "Sent birthday invites, and now all your friend is here."

Remembering that time the community reached some sort of goal, so I shaved a mustache, put on a polo shirt*, & played golf** on a Father’s Day stream 🤣🤣🤣

**at least it was Mario Golf!

I played the crap out of this game w/ my younger brother on PS2 when we had an apartment together while in college.

It had a ROCKIN' soundtrack!

What unexpected games do you know that have a great soundtrack?
