Sensible chuckle

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

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
