 The members of 3OH!3 are strange, posers, and hard to take seriously. Fast food, as most everyone knows, is an industry in which unhealthy food which is nevertheless considered delicious by a shamefully large portion of the population. 3OH!3 is a fairly popular and relatively new electro-pop band, founded in 2004. But the similarities go deeper than comparable fan bases. Print This Post
As usual, Monday, Dec. 14’s, choir concert did not disappoint. The show, which included RVHS’s Concert, Women’s, Men’s, Heaven Sent and Shades of Blue choirs featured holiday favorites and new tunes which delighted the audience. The highlight of the show was the tenth anniversary alumni song, which featured current and alumni choir members and the symphonic orchestra. As per tradition, the show ended with “Peace, Peace,” and “Silent Night,” which the audience joined in on. If you weren’t there for the standing-room-only show, you missed out. Way to go Ralston Valley choir and orchestra! Print This Post

 I Want To Play a Game: Jigsaw's newest series of traps in the SAW game just don't deliver the same feeling as those in the movie do. But don't be mistaken because, "There will be blood." The incredibly successful SAW movie franchise is renowned for the ability to induce gut-wrenching reactions from vivid torture scenes and nail-biting suspense. So, imagine my disappointment when I sat down to play the game and instead felt boredom along with frustration. Print This Post

For anyone looking for a game full of Heavy Metal, Head banging monsters and a sacred beer tree look no further. Brutal Legend delivers just that. Starring famous heavy metal stars  Eddie Riggs as teh Brutal Legend It all kicks off with a hilarious intro poking fun at the softer, more mainstream direction heavy metal has taken in the past couple decades. Brutal Legend is front heavy with the humor stuff, though. While the first half hour will have you shooting milk through your nose, the laughs eventually taper off leaving you with a story that is rich and bizarre but lacking in the bite of the opening scenes. Brutal Legend is a celebration of classic heavy metal and takes every cheap shot it can at hair metal, nu metal, and other diluted variations on the genre. While the ultimate evil and its minions are truly terrible monsters, the lesser bad guys are made up to resemble glam rockers or emo kids. It will appeal most to those that spent at least some of their formative years as angsty headbangers although it isn’t exclusionary. The story takes plenty of twists and turns along the way and deals with some interesting themes of quiet heroism and personal sacrifice. Our hero, Eddie Riggs, is a roadie and knows his place is out of the spotlight. He’s not here for glory — he’s here to make someone else look good. Riggs keeps this same attitude even when he is warped back in time and has the chance to be a real hero and save the world. Brutal Legend doesn’t take itself too seriously, but at the same time the story has some substance. When it comes time to play the game instead of watching you’ll find a mix of genres coming together to create a variety of gameplay opportunities. Most of the story missions are real-time strategy battles that find you commanding troops on a battlefield made up to look like an epic rock concert. But the ability to join the fight and deal out a little justice of your own adds some action to the strategy. Outside of story missions the game can be a beat ‘em up or a shooter or a racer. The pieces all come together well without any of these mechanics feeling tacked on or inadequate. The RTS-style battles turn out to be great fun in multiplayer, too. Here players can choose to lead any of the game’s three factions, giving folks a chance to play the bad guys. Up to eight people can join the fight online with four on each side. There are seven maps, each with the simple goal of destroying your opponents’ base. The mode is great fun and happily extends the life of Brutal Legend after a shorter single-player campaign Fire Tributes are the game’s currency, bestowed upon Eddie for pleasing the Titans. These can be earned in any number of ways: winning battles, completing secondary missions, unearthing long lost artifacts… An exhaustive stat tracking system keeps track of everything from the percentage of game completed to the songs unlocked to enemy minions defeated. Once you’ve saved up a few tributes you can spend them at the Motor Forge on Deuce/axe/guitar upgrades, new combat moves, or paint jobs. The Forge is run by the Guardian of Metal, appropriately (and impressively) voiced by Ozzy Osbourne. Closing Comments: |
