Song of the Day #2- Unkle- Lonely Soul

Unkle- Lonely Soul


Todays song is Lonely Soul by Unkle which you've probably heard from the Assassins Creed Trailer released not to long ago. Assassins Creed looks like a great game and we need more Trip-Hop music in Video games. Assassins is said to be released some time November. Hopefully the whole soundtrack will be Trip-Hop goodness.

What I've been playing this week #3

Heres what I've been playing this week:

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

I've haven't gotten any further since the last what i've been playing this week. I think I completed 3 more missions but not much of a advancement considering theres three hundred missions in this game. I did get a few of my weapons to hitman from the gang territory thing. I'll never complete this game!

Zelda: Twilight Princess

I pulled out the cube again and decided to finish Twilight Princess again. Didn't get to far because theres only one controller in the house....Don't ask cause It would be hard to tell you why. My little sister came and wanted the controller and I couldn't say no cause I'm nice. I'll probably get bored of this game, Its a great game don't get me wrong, and not finish it.

So thats all I've done this week in games really. Spend most of my time online talking and looking at video games I don't have.....Man I need a 360.

Song of the Day #1

Luv Sic Pt. 1-Nujabes ft. Shing02


   Hey I figured out a brand spanking new feature, Song of the Day. I'll try to remember, note try, to post a song that I like everyday. Just a good way to show what I like and maybe get you to like new stuff so enjoy.

   Todays Song of the Day is Luv Sic Pt. 1 By Nujabes ft. Shing02. Shing02 is the rapper and Nujabes is the producer of the great beat. For this one I'll let the song speak for its self.

Rant #1: Good Hip Hop

    My first rant is called Good Hip Hop because there is a such thing as bad Hip Hop. Any kind of "Hip Hop" that talks about nothing but bitches, money, cars, jewelry, and clothes is not Good Hip Hop and thats a fact.

   Hip Hop has never and never will be about material things. Hip Hop, and any music, Should be about sending a message or telling about your struggles or problems. I'm talking about real problems. Not the "problems" of being a teen cause most of these so called problems aren't even that big. Your girlfriend breaking up with you is not a real problem because you'll live after it. Your parents not giving you money is not a real problem. This isn't really made a topic much in Hip Hop but I'm sure it pops up in a lot of mainstream Rock but I don't know enough to rant about that.

   Listening to music where the artist, well not artist cause theres nothing arty about what they do, calls girls bitches and wants to do nothing more then have sex and smoke weed is not good music. People use the argument that they don't agree with what the rapper is rapping about, but even then why listen to something that doesn't align with your views. Wouldn't it be better to listen to something you can agree and relate to. To those that do agree with the views of many rappers please change those views because its no way to live life. Life is about so many other things then just partying and why waste half your life on something that doesn't produce anything to anyone.

   I'm straying away from what I think Good and Bad Hip Hop is but I think people need to realize life is about so much more then having sex and drinking. The most horrible part of wanting or trying to make people realize this is they don't care. They're to stubborn to want to change what kind of music they listen to or how they live life, and when they do realize it its to late. They've already wasted half their life's doing meaningless things.

   I think I'm gonna end this rant right here because I was straying away from my point of good and bad hip hop, and when I'm in a ranty mood I need to calm down to do it again. The one thing I want anyone reading this to get out of it is That life is about so much more.

Rave #2: Knytt

Knytt


   This weeks.....well not week, this rave is about a great free independent game I discovered called Knytt. I discovered this game from the video game blog site Joystiq.

   Knytt is a very simple but great platformer. You play as a kid, I think named Knytt not sure, who is abducted by a alien when wondering around. When traveling though space the aliens UFO is struck by a asteroid and the alien and Knytt plummet to a nearby planet. Knytt and the Alien survive but the UFO isn't in too good of shape. It is up to you to explore the huge planet to find the items you need to repair the UFO and travel home.

   Like said before Knytt is a very simple platformer with a lot of charm. The background and music are both great. When exploring you'll always be anxious to see the next environment and hear the next song. There are very few hazards except for water, lava, and sharp crystals. You'll encounter very few enemies which makes this game pretty easy. Also to add to the games easiness you have unlimited lives and checkpoints. Despite these game being easy its still a very relaxing and great game that everyone should play for a little fun.

   When you play and enjoy this game, which I'm sure you will, check out a game called Within a Deep Forest which is made by the same people who made Knytt. Also they are working on yet another game, said to be released on Aug. 30th, which is also free. Within a Deep Forest,Knytt and their new game can all be found in the link below.

What I've been playing this week #2

   This week havent been playing many games but tons of Pokemon. Say whatever you want pokemon isn't that bad!

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (9.6)

   So I'll start with the game I've been playing other then Pokemon. San Andreas is getting kinda blah to me. This is probably because I've played it before, never beat it, and deleted my save like an idiot. Now I have to do all the very annoying missions over again! I find myself most the time when playing this game doing crazy stunts with cars or jumping off of high places on a bike or doing what everyone loves to do, shoot people. I'll probably never finish this game if I dont stop messing around.

Pokemon:Emerald (7.5)
  nbsp;For some odd reason one day I suddenly got the urge to play a Pokemon game, weird huh? Anyway I started playing Pokemon Emerald, which I hadn't played before. I had Ruby and put it down cause I got bored of it, but for some odd reason I'm not getting bored of this Pokemon game. Not that Emerald is that much different from Ruby or Sapphire, but its actually fun. I'm at the 6th gym and my starting Pokemon, Mudkip which evolved into something I cant remember, is about to evolve again. Next what I've been playing I'll probably finish this game.

So thats what i've been playing this week not much but thats probably because theres no new games coming out for the ps2 when I pick up God of War 2, maybe Odin Sphere and finish Breath of Fire I'm gonna need a new system!

Super Smashing News!

   Hey....I thought of yet another feature called Super Smashing News where I relay information about the upcoming game Super Smash Bros. Brawl and my views on the new content. Me and my 2 younger brothers used to play the first two Super Smash Bros. like crazy so thats why I'm excited about this new one. I wouldn't consider myself a expert but I'm pretty good. Well anyways on to the Super Smashing News!

New Items!
   Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be adding to the already great item list as shown by the two new items already announced:

Gooey Bomb



   The Gooey Bomb is exactly what it sounds like, a bomb that when thrown sticks to its target. Though theres a twist to this already sinister item. You can pass on the Gooey Bomb by running into another opponent, making for a quick game of hot potato. Also it sticks to the ground like a normal prox. mine. My brothers and me used to always enjoy playing with prox. mines on Golden Eye and Super Smash Bros. Melee now this item takes that fun to another level!


Cracker Launcher



   The Cracker launcher brings the very cliche Rocket launcher away from the cliche. This rocket launcher shoots out Fire crackers! Now you can blast away your opponents while watching the pretty colors. Also because of the new feature that lets you move around and shoot Projectile weapons at the same time this weapon will be a beast using. When playing a game of SSBM my brothers and me usually just turned off the Super Scope because it didn't do that much damage unless you charged it up and you had to stand still, The Cracker Launcher cures both of these problems

    So thats my new feature I won't be updating everyday on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl news, like the official site is doing, but i'll update when theres something really important. So check back later for more of my relayed Smash Bros. Brawl news. Also heres a link to the
Super Smash Bros. Brawl Site
   Get the RSS so you can see what they update or just check back cause theres gonna be a update every weekday.
