Helicopter and rhinoceros? Hellifiknow I’m sad because I’m old. How do I know I’m old? Because sometimes I’m forced to listen to the radio in the car and Weezer and Green Day come on the oldies station. I’m at that dreaded stage where I don’t really discover new music anymore; I’ve just been listening to the same perfect Brand New and Jimmy Eat World albums for the past decade-plus. (Side bar: Destructoid staff routinely gets into an argument every half-year or so about the best Jimmy Eat World album....

I love the homage with B, and the moment I get my copy of the game I’m flipping it over....
