    Easter Eggs


    Egg 1
    Guitar Hero World Tour
    If you play any gig in Times Square, (the one where you are on top of the building) There will be a lot of posters/billboards around. If you look at one of them, (there's more than one of these) one will say "From the skateboard... ...to the guitar." That is a reference to an earlier Neversoft game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (and other Tony Hawk skating games). enjoy!

    DVD Valkyrie

    So I had to check out the DVD valkyrie this week and I have to say I rather enjoyed it the story was well paced and the actors made it seem like they really were apart of the action. Thankfully this week have another DVD with the extra I want. Directors Commentary Behind the Scenes. It’s the Business!! But I haveto say one thing Fascinated me the most. There’s a narration feature in the film. Yup with the press of a button you get a narrator from one of those history documentaries talking to you in the film. Please note this is optional unlike me and michael bower who didn’t have a clue what was going on.
    The DVD overall experience in my opinion is a definite must have even if you not into history film keep it to impress the girlfriends Dad and Grand dad. Otherwise Brilliant in my opinion
    8/10


    CD Aking Against all Odds

    Once again always a pleasure to listen to Bevelle rock music at it’s best. Nothing short of a well palatable extension to their first against all odds seeks to show the diverse of the bands music capabilities and overall a perfect long drive CD is you ask me.
    Certainly easy to listen to and something I’m happy to say will be a part of my music collection for a long time.

    Game Guitar Hero Metallica

    Alright so sadly I couldn’t actually get to play this epic game so you going to have to do it and let me know about it on my blog.

    Team xbox
    Metallica’s “Death Magnetic” album, released as a downloadable pack for Guitar Hero III this past September, probably was a good demonstration of the delivery—and audience attraction—to the metal band’s music, but by that time, the game focused on the group was well underway. You can tell by looking at Guitar Hero: Metallica’s Backstage section, which contains numerous videos of the band, one of which shows a motion-capture session for the song “Master of Puppets,” which happened in April 2008. And the band is fully into it, judging by that clip and the others that come with the game.
    It’s important to note, though, that for GH: M, Activision didn’t take the exact same approach as the Aerosmith game, which had video interviews with the Boston-based band filling in the history with anecdotes and a pseudo-timeline of its evolution from playing at high-school dances to filling major arenas. (It’s also great that Guitar Hero: Metallica supports a four-piece band, not just a guitarist.) Sure, you “play” in some of the world-famous venues where Metallica has played and you also get a good selection of music from other big-name metal bands (instead of opening acts, as Aerosmith’s game offered, you get bands that Metallica admires and idolized during its rise), such as Motorhead and Judas Priest.

    IGN
    The title is a full-band game, just like Guitar Hero World Tour, so guitar, bass, drums and vocals are all part of the mix. Rather than the gig-based progression from World Tour, you'll find something much closer to the original two titles where it's a tier-based system, but instead of having to beat each song in a tier to progress, you need only meet a total star requirement. I actually "finished" the game after having only beaten 40% of the songs,
    My biggest complaint for the game is actually tied to the available songs, however, and it's assuredly going to be a disappointment to many folks. The only DLC that the game supports is Death Magnetic - that's it. None of the downloadable tracks for World Tour work here, which means that you'll have to swap back to that disc to play the bulk of your library if you've invested in some new tunes. Really, downloadable content like this should be cross-franchise, and as it's not, the game feels like it's a little separated from the would-be pack.

    DVD: Australia

    OK remember when you first watched the third lord of the rings movie and it tried to end eleven times? This film makes that look like child’s play. It’s a staggering 2h45m long and if you don’t have Kleenix for the duration of the film will then your in trouble. I even felt moved by what was happening in front of me.
    Of Course you know that Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman are in it but then it turns out Nicole is playing a British Aristocrat, way to show your heritage. The Film is a display of cultural strife between The Colonists and the Native Aborigines around world war 2. Of Course like all good war movies there’s a love story and don’t worry guys there’s a love scene in there somewhere so you won’t have to watch 2hours worth of Nicole taking about her feelings.
    Murder, Love, War, and a truly good excuse to show your girlfriend you have feelings even if you have to do it for the whole film.
    Baz Luhrman as outdone himself in my opinion. Although the extras consisted to two deleted scenes common it want more than that
    Times online calls it

    addictive nonsense.
    Variety says it
    provides a luxurious bumpy ride
    I’m still giving it a 7/10

    Game: Wanted- Weapons of Fate

    Once again they’ve taking the recipe of taking a comic book making it a movie then turning it into a video game. It has to one of my favourite game formats a pick up a weapon and shoot everything that stands in your way. Now it’s not messing up the story line from the film or even the comic it more to do with the future of the storyline so hardcore fans have nothing to worry about.
    The training levels are quick to pick up and always no shooting game is complete without its excessive violence, although the experience is rather short and you feel it could have done with a couple extra weapons.

    Planet xbox 360
    it’s apparent that the publisher is not just trying to cash in a quick check
    IGN
    does manage to recreate the look and sounds of the movie
    I’m saying it’s a 5/10 at best

    Greenday- 21st Century Breakdown

    Ok music wise I like it, It’s got anthems, ballads and a couple good jams as I’d expect of any CD, Although I have to beg the question what the hell happened to the Album Art? It look like they decided to be cheap and not print the CD booklet properly. I know the Global Recession is hitting people hard but really you gotta go and make it look like you printed it out on powerpoint?
    The CD follows something of a Stage Production with Acts and an intro that sound a little something like this…
    Otherwise a sound effort
    Popmatters says it seems like:
    Armstrong feels that the only way to follow his massively successful rock opera is ... with another rock opera.

    Culture Bully recons
    The bar has again been raised

    I’m gonna go with a 7/10

    EASTER EGGS: MOVIE EDITION

    Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
    When Arthur and the planet-making guy are riding across the factory floor, if you pause the movie at 1 hour and about 22 seconds, the camera pans out, and you can see a planet in the shape of a face. I haven't read the book, but my guess is it is Douglas Adams' face; feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

    The Day the Earth Stood Still
    During the ending sequence of The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), two figures are staring into the sunset across the waters near the Sidney Opera house and the Harbour Bridge. Taking a close look at the two, it would appear they are close relations to Jaden Smith: Will and Jada Pinkett Smith!

    X Men Origins: Wolverine
    In the scene where Wolverine is on the island when he gets to the caged mutants, when it starts to show them it shows one tied up and moving very fast. That mutant is Quicksilver

    Demigod

    Set in a magical world where gods walk among mortals, Demigod blends action, strategy and role-playing elements into a thrilling new experience. Select the demigod that will lead your minions into battle and unleash the dogs of war against your rivals. Your demigod will do whatever it takes in order to ascend to true godhood.
    Once in the Arena, each demigod will be joined by support troops that fight to the death as you struggle to seize key control points and slowly turn the tide of war in your favour. Your demigod will level up during the course of each battle, becoming even more powerful as you unlock new abilities and powers. It’s a brutal conflict of demigod versus demigod, where the very ground beneath their feet will tremble and quake.
    Alright you can’t escape the fact that someone feels they aren’t making enough money from the craze that is Dota and decided to get Stardock behind them to make an actual out of box dota game.
    Of course it is an Atari game (I mean the computer game designers not the band) so as a seasoned game player I wasn’t about to just throw in the towel. Basically this is a game that takes the best elements of Titan Quest and Dota and presents it to you as an epic Strategy/RPG Hybrid Game
    Oh an definitely a game to be played at full graphics. So you better have a sweet PC.
    A 6/10 from my side


    How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

    Ok I’ve heard about this movie from a lot of my friends and based on their commentary it was gonna be the worse hour and 40minutes of my life. So I settled down and started the DVD. In all honesty I actually enjoyed it. Although they a pretty intelligent crowd and have probably read the book the movie is based on. Simon Pegg made me laugh and I enjoyed the short appearances by a few sharp british actors but though they could have done more with those characters.

    Yes Megan Fox does show us her body does look good in a wet dress but I was kinda shocked to see “Wolverines” William Striker (Danny Huston) trying to be a fashion expert. Unexpectedly interesting in my eyes. I’ll give it a 5/10




    Ashtray Electric Album

    Ok so I listened to the new Ashtray Electric Album we had them in studio last week if you remember but Top Cd was awesome enough to hook me up with the album so I could check it out this week.

    It’s a DVD CD double disk which is a bargin since you only paying for the CD.

    The CD has all the tracks you know and love. But looking specifically at the DVD it shows the making of the new video the video itself and a short uncut documentary of the band’s view of thier impact on the SA music industry so far and on themselves as a band.

    It’s a sweet long drive CD and the DVD is perfect for SA music fanatics. A bodacious 8/10 from my side

    EASTER EGGS!!!!!!!!

    Tool Easter Egg

    Alright so if you’ve been listening to the Show. Your amazed at the possibility of Easter Eggs

    And you know (since I mentioned it) that there are Easter Eggs in Music as well
    Specifically Tools music

    Here’s how it works and you gotta play it to the second to make it work

    Get:
    Viginti Tres Wings For Marie (Pt 1)
    On a playlist on your PC

    Then play
    10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2)
    On your CD player or Hi-Fi

    The two will synch up perfectly. The singing at the end also synchs up completely if you played them at the right time. And yes tool meant for this to happen basically if you add up the track times for the two shorter tracks they equal the length of 10000 Days (Wings Pt2). Strangely enough to add to the Easter egg-ness Viginti Tres means 23 in Latin and 23 is the Number of synchronicity


    Awesome Right??

    Candlemass – Death Magic Doom

    Now far bit it from be to be concerned about listening to a new CD, but well I got ahold of this album and saw a blood stained skull faced angel on the cover and well I made some assumptions.
    It seemed as though my worries might be realised when I open the cover and see the band all stand on a penta gram on the inside cover. I pulled out the charcoal coloured CD and let it play and to be honest it’s was pretty damn sweet.
    Sorta like Black Sabbath meets Guns and Roses and Megadeth
    Overall my impression of it was that music with bizarre covers doesn’t mean you can’t listen to it
    and the end result is a really strong album.
    Talking about Candlemass means talking about one of the most representative and respected bands in the vast gamut of metal genres, standing not only as icons of Doom metal but as a name that equals top-notch musicianship and creativity.
    Definitely a very awesomely unexpected 7/10


    Burn After Reading

    Oh so if you quest for a captivating storyline, a coast of actors at really seems to fit the role and a plot at has the thickness of a Sunday afternoon roast beef gravy. Then well you might wanna try another movie. If you looking for a movie that I would put in a similar category to Hot Rod and Napolean Dynamite. Then Burn After Reading is the Film for you. Basically Brat Pitt and Frances Mcdormand are Gym staff members who stumble upon a disc of CIA information and try to expoit it for money from it owner Osbourne Cox
    (if you don’t remember that name trust me after the movie you will, they repeat it roughly 100 times in the film)
    Thinking about the film now I am laughing however like when I finished watching Napoleon I was left with a sense of confusion. Overall definitely entertaining
    5/10
