I like Nutella, but you have to be braindead and illiterate to think it's anything but bad for you. Saturated Fat = Bad. Nutella = High in Saturated Fat. BOY, that was hard! Sometimes I think people just sit at home bored looking for things to make potential lawsuits over.

There's only one solution. We must increase our beef intake tenfold!
Honestly, I'm loving almost everything about it so far. It's the first console JRPG this gen that I've genuinely loved. I think I just hit the ten hour mark today. I'm completely comfortable with the combat system now and it just feels perfectly intuitive.
It's a massive surprise in that it's an excellent JRPG, a genre that has been extremely disappointing and generic this gen, and for the Wii, a console which I haven't used since Monster Hunter Tri a few years back. I didn't read up on the game before it came out or anything either. I basically heard it was released like last week and went out and bought it with absolutely zero prior knowledge on the game, and it's been a pleasant surprise so far.
Decent enough graphics (I value artistic direction more than graphical prowess, and it succeeds in that regard), great soundtrack and the story's picking up after a fairly generic start. Also, and this may sound minor and random, I like how most of the equipment you find isn't a direct upgrade. If you want to boost the strength, you're usually going to take a hit in the agility department and vice versa. It emphasizes equipment choices as well as gemming, which I've only dabbled in, and I love that sort of gearing in RPGs over boring flat stat increases with no alternative options.
All in all, it's an excellent game so far. I'm still amazed by how OPEN all the environments are. I almost forgot what it was like to wander a massive, open field in this age of corridor and hallway-obsessed game design.
I'm obviously in the minority here, but I've always found Metallica rather boring. I don't listen to as much Metal as I used to, but I used to be big into Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, pretty much the usual Heavy Metal bands, as well as some Megadeth. But I just never got into Metallica for some reason. I like a few of their songs, but overall, I've never understood the massive appeal.
Also Lulu is an awful album despite what people say about it being "avant-garde". I've never heard a more grating, monotonous album. I actually have yet to play that album from start to finish because it's so damn awful.
I like some of Slowdive's stuff, but that's where my interest in Shoegaze ends. I've heard My Bloody Valentine and I just can't get into them for some reason.
If gas prices hit $5.50, millions of enraged Americans will take to the Yahoo message boards and say unkind things about Obama. I don't see it going further than that.
