    It’s rare that we get a full-on groaner from XKCD.

    As a big fan of both Tool and XKCD, I highly approve of this comic

      As somebody who isn’t a big Tool fan I was a little disappointed after searching these. Call me when XKCD does a bit about King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

        Randall seems to have aimed at recognisability in choosing those song titles.

        Reflection is one of my favorites, super underrated even amongst Tool fans IMO.

        To be fair, KGatLW is substantially more difficult to incorporate into a pun.

    Are there pairings of songs/albums and speedrun routes that line up like “DSotM” and “The Wizard of Oz”? I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a thing but it feels like it should exist.

      Not speed run routes but dopesmoker pairs up excellently with dark souls

        Listening to Dopesmoker is antithetical to any kind of speedrun, I think.

      Not a speed run, but this guy makes incredible syncs between games and music. https://youtu.be/3heYARlA8cs
