The Clown Epidemic!

HELLO!

Clowns....where I live there's many clowns some wear orange skin and make up so bad you'd think of a terry's chocolate orange. Some don't even wear make up and they are clowns. Some have brains and some have brawn you don't see or hear of any at the crack of dawn. 

It's a joke but it's also Halloween soon. People have been doing the clown stuff for fun and others been doing it for some other reason but it's not all doom and gloom. Only when these clowns have hurt others is when caution should be taken. 

You may think your "IT" telling little Georgie we all float down here but what you fail to realise is the negativity your actions as a clown create. If your a clown be happy and lively. Entertain and cheer but not in a library. 

Any hoo Cindy Loo the positives of the clown apocalypse are that it has made those crazy people counting down the seconds til Xmas be quiet for once. 


In all my generations years we prepped for zombies and not for clowns. What's next for us,when will it end. Will the government go berserk and ban the clown trends? No I don't know I can only stop, think and speculate on the matter. What ever the latter.

Clowns don't want you to frown,they don't want you to drown,they are happy and lively except in movies when they all hide bodies. #haiku

Thanks for reading,don't stop breathing. Be a happy positive clown or die with a frown. Don't drown in fear. Survive fear. That's it my dears. 


Buh-Bye!

Transformers Devastation PS4 Review: "Stylish,Repetitive,Fun!"

Transformers Devastation is so stylish,fun and repetitive but it manages to keep the spirit and good fun alive of Transformers with generation 1 for it's era and style being that of a comic book and possible shade style effect if i am also correct is ever so beautiful. 


You play as the Autobots as 5 different characters to choose from and some are unlocked later in the game, you race fast and battle furiously with enemies on the ground in the air and with enemies with combine and form bigger enemies. Seriously huge ones! With 7 chapters on offer in the game it's not a long one but that all depends on how difficult you find it and how many times you die. I died once and that was on the last boss. My fave character to play as was Sideswipe and i will also add i only played this through once! 


This free ps plus game is great and well worth the download. If you are a Transformers fan or not it has a lot to offer and because it is free i say everyone should give it a go. 

Customisation options,many characters to play as,trophies to be gained,collectables to be obtained and although i said there is repetitive brawler gameplay in place of this game i will also add that it features some other kinds of gameplay which makes it fun and fresh each time you progress. 

The game does not offer much other than single player and a challenge mode there is no online features but there is plenty of replayability on offer. The soundtrack is also adrenaline pumping it is simply epic! You would know when a boss fight would happen and you would know when you would need to break a sweat and get sum!


The game on it's easiest setting with me fully customising and levelling up my weapons it took me 3 hours and 45 mins to complete of all things. My shortest game completion ever i would say but was it a blast. There was also an after credits!


With all this in mind i would have to transform and roll out a 7 out of 10 it is a great fun game, it is short but it can offer you quite a bit back from replayability value. Free is great, so you got nothing to lose other than hours to have a blast transforming and stopping those Decepticons. 

Thanks for reading this review. It has been a while since i reviewed a game but here we are! What fun!

Top 10 Trivium songs.

Hello there and welcome back to my blog and another top 10 countdown of a band i love and of songs i also love by said band.

As a new feature you can now click on the number or track name to be taken to that track!


This time this is my penultimate list and i am tackling Trivium (Scrote). As winter approaches and on the year anniversary since silence in the snow album was released it feels right to take on Trivium.

Side note: Matt Heafy does follow me on twitter we have interacted in the past via dm's and tweets he is a cool as hell guy and i hope he is well and if he is reading this, yo what's up Matt!

Kicking off my list is one of my old mobiles alarm song's yes i had this song to wake me up a during high school. Did it work? Yes! This one is about abuse, it tells of your kids, your wife so it makes me think it's about a father or just different people who are abusive in this song and it's fear of it and wanting to end it all due to all the abuse. 

Hell of a track and only at number 9 oh ho ho this is a tough list as you see. I believe this is a allusion to the Nietzsche quote, "When you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." I don't think the song has a literal meaning but rather is a description of some sort of hell or void. Perhaps that is a metaphorical void referring to madness or hatred it maybe just about depression or feeling like you are going insane. I don't really know, all i know is how to speculate a tracks meaning.

A beautiful track here that always just blows me away by how it's put together and how it sounds. This i feel i more or less about war maybe a soldier who was on the front line came home has suffered the effects of war and is now talking about that and their experience's.

I feel that this song is about the world which is breaking in so many ways and people don't do anything to stop this destruction. So it feels like saving this world is a lost cause so let it burn as Trivium watch it go.

Now originally this was going to kick off my list but then i was like no i'm putting it higher up because this is an awesome track pure and simple well putting this list together was quite hard because i had conflicting thoughts on what deserves to go where and so i ended up basically putting this here at 6. The song is very visual in that you can imagine a snow setting with two warriors duking it out and well that is also where Matt said he had idea for it well besides touring with Heaven and Hell and meeting Dio years back.  "The title for "Silence" is derived from the Japanese story series of Suikoden, specifically the story of Yuki No Danmari. Yuki No Danmari can be translated to mean "Silence In The Snow." The actual art piece of Yuki No Danmari depicts two tattooed warriors dance-fighting in a snow setting. This was the piece that inspired the name for the song itself."

Possibly the best song off of Vengeance Falls. This is about criminals who are set free and go on to attack all over again. Amazing lyrics and instrumental.

I wonder whether the lyrics "Built to Fall" sounding like "beautiful" is an artistic choice, or if it is coincidental. Anyway this track is amazing really powerful. It could be this track is hate for someone i believe maybe an ex lover as In Waves album is said to be all about personal experiences from which the band have had. I see this meaning making sense with the lyrics "I don't want to hate you, but how could I not? You killed off so much I held dear in my heart" so it seems to me like someone has hurt someone's family and friends and livelihood perhaps? And this one could perhaps easily be about a disease a virus you know from the bit about "You are the thing that's killing me,From the inside out, let me be"It's one i can only say so much about unless the guys opened up a bit more and explained this in full but i was not successful in tracking their own meaning down. If you have well comment below!


Hell of a tune one of my faves by Trivium it hypes me up gets the adrenaline going if you are pissed off this helps a lot too. I think this song is actually about suicide. "Do I end this all for the world to see"= Suicide. "Do I take everybody else down,Everybody else down with me."= Hurting loved ones by taking your life. "I know that death approaches fast. What's the purpose if this life wont last?"= Life is short, so why not end it now? What do you think?


Ah those days where i would put my xbox 360 on and sing this badly offkey straining my vocal chords playing wwe smackdown vs raw 2010. It is about the depths that man will go to to prove his power and control over others, about wars, about how we massacre and kill for no reason. Watch the video, there's lots of references to the Hiroshima bombing, and the phrase " We are the ammunition that will cause all life to cease,...annihilate, all those who stand in our way, obliterate...they'll rain their holocaust down from the sky" refers to the demise of all life that will most likely occur if we continue to live this way. Many say this one is about George Bush and i would agree to that! 

Number 1 is the first Trivium song i ever heard that made go "oh wow what is this?" it is one of my most listened to songs by the band and in the game Saints Row 2. The Anthem is a hell of an anthem. The songs all about well saying fuck the haters because you are better than them. Turn your backs on your enemies,And let those motherfuckers rot in their jealousy,We're all now a family, Together let's show the world what we say,We are the fire! Resound the anthem!

Honourable mentions: (been a while i think since i last die one.) Strife,Vengeance Falls, Blind leading the blind,Brave this storm,Chaos Reigns,Entrance of the conflagration, inception of the end,like light to the flies,rain,pull harder on the strings of your martyr and until the world goes cold. All were so close to making my list.

Ok that's all. WE ARE THE FIRE!

Go give Trivium a listen. I recommend them greatly.


The final list is next and it's all about one of my all time fave metal bands.....who? Hey come back soon and find out ;)

Top 10 Linkin Park songs.

Hey yo!

You ready to take one step closer to the edge or are you about to break?
Trying a new feature here so click on the numbers or name of the track to be taken to the music. 


Anyway If you like or love or are a fan of Linkin Park well you are in luck as you are in the right place to enjoy my list all about counting down form 10 to 1 my fave LP songs!

Oh teenage angst and nu-metal what a combination. I can and i think so can you, relate to this song because, not once, but many times we have all felt so close to the edge that we was about to just break down totally inside. See our anger break out. This song has such a powerful message that you can't help but relate to it. Everyone has felt like they can't take it anymore sometimes and that's what this song is talking about. 

Oh the amount of times i have tried singing and rapping this without stopping in art class in school with friends is about 10 times but hey this one is a hell of a party jam. This one sounds very war like with the opening lines and with the song quite frankly talking about digging graves and digging deeper. 

When this began, i was pondering so much which song would be in my top 10 list and let a lot of songs and my mind fight against each other. I think we are or have all looked for somewhere we can belong. Be it in school. In work. In groups etc. I feel as though this song is about someone who kept all of their feelings and problems inside while pretending to be strong. But after finally breaking down and looking for support, they realise that everyone else is just as broken as them.Now they're looking for someplace to belong, where they can have support for when they break down and not always have to be the strong one. I can relate to this song quite a bit. 

Ok so i got to say yes Minutes to midnight tracks do appear quite a bit on my list as that is my fave album by them. For me this song is about being in a sort of depression. My interpretation is that this guy wakes up every day to another day that he knows he is just going to waste, and he is stuck only inside his own head with only himself for comfort, he hates himself for that and he feels like he will never leave that isolated place inside his own mind, that there's no escape, and it's driving him insane. He's his own worst enemy, as the song says. He doesn't know what to do, no one cares, he doesn't know where to turn. He's all alone. He just wants someone -- or himself -- to put him out of his fucking misery. He has given up. I felt like this during a battle of depression my first real battle with it in 2012. Anxiety,Panic Attacks,Nightmares,Being afraid and worrying and overthinking everything. God it was a crazy time. 

Hell of a song i have recently rediscovered my love for. I think it could definitely be looked at as you're a social outcast or a loner and you want to fit in but no one seems to notice you. Also it could be about wanting to be heard and making yourself heard. Maybe you're living in someone else's shadow and you don't have the courage to stand up to them and make them think that you're someone of worth and significance. Loneliness and insecurity are definitely qualities of a person who doesn't fit in and they are usually invisible to the world. So you go through life complaining about it but not exactly making the effort to do anything about it. At least not until the part where Chester screams "Hear me out now, you're going to listen to me like it or not" that's pretty much the moment where he gets fed up with being invisible and instead of wishing someone would listen, he's making them listen and not giving them the option to ignore him anymore. It's taking a stand for yourself and putting yourself out there because if you wander through life at the back of the line with your head down and silent, no one is going to hear you nor care. YOU have to make yourself heard.

The true version i love of this song but i will be talking of the different versions as one version here ok. I remember before hearing Chester's abusive past as a child and i can not help but think the song is all about that so i think i will leave it at that. 

This song certainly does take the listeners on a journey of pain and mistrust. You tried to impress someone and took many risks and find out it was all for nothing is what i feel like this song basically means. 

One of my all time faves i utterly love this song it's powerful. The video from this song is basically wartime and the video and song is featured in medal of honour warfighter so i will put some eggs in the basket that this is about war and well overall how fragile life is and people are. We are all living within castle's of glass which can be easily cracked,broken and destroyed and taken away from us at any time. 

This is one which LP i strongly feel should have kept up with i loved the production the sounds the instrumentals the lyrics of this song but LP did not really follow on with this synth like tune. I feel this is a relationship one there's a lot of emotional turmoil in it's lyrics. It feels like the couple have or are currently facing a divorce. Things are falling apart memories left abandoned. However aswell as adding my own thoughts on this song i am going to share one post which stands out to me for the meaning of the song. "To me, the song was about aliens - greater beings in outer space who are coming to Earth. They are asking us, people, to show them why they should save Earth, why they shouldn't just destroy all of humanity because we have ruined the planet and give the planet a chance to start over without our wars, pollution, and all of the mistakes we keep making. The song for the most part seems to come from the point of view of the humans." By : lizaveta on May 21, 2009

Politics, environment, God, Sin, repentance, redemption? I say, all of the above. I think that's the beauty of the song. Some have already said that the interpretation is in the eye of the beholder, but I go a little bit further and think two things: (1) interpretation is based on your world-view, and (2) LP is writing with that intent. Possibly LP's most beautiful passionate song made and the one that got me fully hooked on them. This one video wise is all about the destruction of the world and mankind.

Ok so that's my list, i love Linkin Park so i would recommend anything by them to check out.

5 to check out from atop my head would be, shadow of the day,roads untraveled, waiting for the end,forgotten and papercut.

Next list i have for you is going to be on Trivium and it's my penultimate list!

Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron (Xbox 360) Review.

Being a Transformers fan and having played War For Cybertron i knew what i was going to get into but i discovered a lot more than what i was expecting or thought. This game is fun,intense with the stealth and is a great shoot em up. Graphics,Story and Characters are all amazing and who ever knew a rusting metallic planet could be so beautiful. Iif this series continues it needs to be bringing more to the table. I felt this game was lacking that extra something but it was fun from the start to finish. 75% / 100%

My legendary multiplayer moment 
It has to be the very first online game i had on Halo 3. It was my very first online game i played and yes i was doing really badly why? because my friends were playing with me and we were chatting away they told me to do a few things and yes i went along with it lol They told me to try a rocket jump by jumping and shooting the rpg at my feet of course i failed every time and died and they would be there laughing at me as i was getting enraged that i would die and they would do it and still be alive. In the end they told me to get on the warthog with them and of course i did once again i bet you know where this will be heading to, So they drove to the cliff and said hey scott watch this glitch now they all jumped out and i went over the cliff and died still they continue mocking me about that with phrases like "Hey remember the time on halo 3 we all tricked scott and got him killed a lot" but hey i had the last laugh as i said let me drive and try to do a glitch i know of my own and so they got in a warthog with me and of course i drove near the cliff got out i told them to stay there and well i threw a plasma grenade blew them up haha such a epic funny moment hearing them swear like sailors at me. Unfortunately i got run over and killed by a banshee straight after that happened so i guess we were even but i guess the legendary the moment the funnier so its all rolled into one here and just halo 3 online was a fine masterpiece.
