Quoted from skink91:I really do want to listen to something new that’s great… just firmly not convinced anything new of substance musically has come out in the last couple decades. Please let me know what it might be… I have tried and found it all to be shite.
Idk what you like but Thundercat’s It Is What It Is was my favorite new album of 2020.
Quoted from McDoom:Hey Spooky, I love your games. I would love to see "The Warriors" get made at some point.

Recently I was thinking this could be fun and translate well. I saw it was on HBO Max and rewatched it today.
The game would be to travel back to Coney Island represented by subway maps. The opening of the movie has great cuts of colorful subway maps and shots of trains going through platforms to use. The player would fight various gangs and police, taking different paths to get to the next station (think Stern JP). There are so many weird and interesting looking gangs that could be different modes. It could be randomize where gangs spawn on the map to keep it fresh. All the while the mysterious woman on the radio comments, guides, and occasionally taunts the player.
Toy wise I picture something like the Elvis upper playfield but you’re shooting the balls into a subway train door that opens and closes. Also there’d be a turnstile spinner on the ramp to this upper playfield train platform. As a side objective, a spray paint can bash toy would leave Warriors graffiti around the city (could include player initials for playing well in certain areas that other players see in their game). A radio tower would have a flashing beacon whenever the mysterious woman is speaking and sit over a mode start scoop. The CE can have a radio toy for cosmetics with a moving VU needle.
I thought it’d be neat to have an optional prologue mode to cover the beginning of the movie. Just a shortish and more cinematic mode where the Warriors go to the meeting in the park (shoot the train), play some movie clips where Cyrus is shot and police raid the park. An 8 ball multiball starts where you try to get as many balls/Warriors back onto the subway to get away from the scene.
(In the movie the Warriors send 9 people to the park, 1 is jumped in the chaos, and 8 start the trek home.) There could be various end game bonuses and multiballs for getting as many of the 8 Warriors home as possible, and bonuses for doing the prologue.
Otherwise the game starts after the scramble. After you get back to Coney Island you play and finish the “Come Out To Play” Wizard mode. Then the player is free to travel around the city and go to the parts of the map they didn’t before.
