It's been awhile since I last brought a CD and it was Meteora by Linkin Park. I'm very late when it comes with listening to music, flim and TV-Shows in general but I did really enjoy that album so much and need to listen more to their music. Feel free to suggest me some music from theirs to check out. There's something nice about actually owning the physical media instead on hoping various streaming services wouldn't have them removed. I tend to rip my CDs and store them in .flac format which is little overkill but I see it as if I want to play it on my phone, I can convert it to .mp3 to save storage on my phone which I can hear the difference if I'm focusing on the drums but otherwise, it's does the job done and sound alright.

One of my favourite things about collecting physical media in general is bonus content, even if it meh at best. For example, 'Oops... I Did It Again' is 'enhanced CD' which has wallpaper, crappy Flash screensaver for Windows and highly compressed Lucky music video. For DVD version of Tomb Raider, there's demo for Tomb Raider Chronicles.

This is making me wax nostalgic for an old game called Monster Rancher. It was on the first Playstation, and you could generate monsters for your farm by popping in any CD and the game would generate a monster based off whatever it read on the disk. My friends and I would scour their Dad's several tall CD racks in hopes to find a rare monster.

But back to CDs, Meteora was a great album. I had it as well. Their Reanimation album, a remix album, got me through a tough time in my life when I was living in a shelter for awhile as a kid while waiting to be placed in the foster system. All that said, pretty sure Hybrid Theory was the album most people propped up. It's all good in my book, though. The music video for Meteora's "Breaking The Habit," is still one of my favorite MVs.

Sadly, I only have a couple CDs left these days. One is Green Day's American Idiot and another is an album a personal friend put out locally.

I might check that game out and get it someday as I got PS2 in my bedroom. Sounds really cool based on your description of the game.

Sorry to hear about your upbringing as a kid. I know my ex used to be in foster-care and can tell it really affected them when they talk about it. Will give Hybrid Theory a listen soon.

Love American Idiot, one of my favourite Green Day albums.
