Anybody else love the band Chicag-EO Speedwagon? šŸŽµ šŸŽ¹ šŸŽµ šŸŽø Anyway, I thought it would be nice to have a specific thread for the discussion about META. How does a game like GoW fight the META trap? CAN it fight the meta trap? Any suggestions for the devs to help fight the Meta trap. Iā€™ll weigh in when I get this song out of my headā€¦ I just canā€™t fight this META anymooooore!!! ---

That would be REO Speedwagon. Not Chicago. šŸ™‚ ---

Okā€¦ soā€¦ I have lived most of my like ā€œknowingā€ that Chicago sang that song. You can look it on youtube as a Chicago song and find multiple hitsā€¦ AND, I have recent memory from last summer road trip of it popping up on my Sirius XM as a Chicago songā€¦ SOā€¦ did Chicago COVER IT at some point? Or is this another BerenstEin/BerenstAin Bear situation? Have some of us been living in Universe C and have slipped into Universe REO??? C-R-A-Z-Y!!! šŸ˜Ø ---

Much like Global Thermonuclear War, when it comes to the meta the only winning move is not to play. When I see yet another Bone Dragon - Courage team I just ignore them and do the 1 Trophy fight instead. ---

Yeah I tried Googling it using Chicago and it produces a ton of hits, all of which are in error. > **[Can't Fight This Feeling](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can't_Fight_This_Feeling)** > > Pages for logged out editors learn more > > "Can't Fight This Feeling" is a power ballad performed by the American rock band REO Speedwagon. The song first appeared on the 1984 album Wheels Are Turnin'. The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and held the top spot for three consecutive weeks from March 9 to March 23, 1985. It was the group's second number-one hit on the U.S. charts (the first being 1980's "Keep on Loving You", also written by Kevin Cronin) and reached ... ---

At least itā€™s not ā€œCake by the Oceanā€. I had that song stuck in my head for nearly two days. I had to resort to 80ā€™s metal to purge that \*\*\*\*!
