Scrubs

Hello there everyone, today is Metal Alliance 2012 and it's being headlined by DevilDriver. A couple of years ago, the show Scrubs featured DevilDriver in the background twice. So in the clip above, "Driving Down The Darkness" is featured. Really awesome that they got included. Enjoy and have a great day everyone.

Trouble Is On Its Way

So tomorrow the Metal Alliance 2012 tour is stopping in Los Angeles and I'm going to the show with America, Gio and Irving. The headline act is DevilDriver and this will make it the 4th time I've seen them in four years. So this song is "Teach Me To Whisper." This song is straight to the point, loud and in your face. This is exactly what I love about DevilDriver. Check it out, good night and good luck. I will post another DevilDriver song or a Wretched song before I leave tomorrow.

The Beat Don't Stop Until The Break Of Dawn

Alright I have to save the best for last. This is the awesome classic "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang. The song was released in 1979 and still holds up. This one of those songs that I believe that everyone should listen to before they die. Enjoy your night everyone.

You Can't Stop A Train

Unless you've lived under a rock, Outkast is a classic. "B.O.B." is easily one of their greatest songs and one of my favorites by the group. It's fast, catchy and has an electric guitar soloing in the back of most of the song. Check it out if you want to.

I'm Just Here To Hold Your Hand When You Die

Here is another non-metal song I like, this is "Imaginary Places" by Bus Driver. The whole 'singing along to the speed of the flute' is really not found in your average hip-hop song and makes this one a bit unique. Check it out if you want to. Have a great day.

Roaches On The Floor

I do enjoy other artists that are not metal and one of them is Cannibal Ox. They're a sick hip-hop duo with some really good songs and this one is my personal favorite by them. It's called "Iron Galaxy." I already passed my heavy metal purist phase a while ago, so it's these non-metal songs that keep me sane. Check it out if you want to, I'm going to post several more hip-hop songs I like after this.

Bring Back the DK Crew

It's been thirteen years since Nintendo and Rare released Donkey Kong 64 on the Nintendo 64. For me it is arguably one of the best games (because Rare pretty much did everything right) to have been released on the console and it would be awesome to see the whole DK Crew making a comback (don't worry K. Rool I miss you too, plus I already talked about how awesome it would be to do a Nintendo HD remake of the first one here). This is one of those games that would best fit the Wii U, both graphics wise and game play wise. The motion controls in the Wii U controller would allow the developers to some impressive stuff like turning the controller to evade attacks and play notes on the touch screen to use each Kong's instrument. Gyroscope for aiming but also for possible use with characters in certain situations like Lanky's boss battle in the water or with Enguarde the Swordfish. The full use of wii-motes would allow the multiplayer to be top notch with accurate aiming. If this banana were to mature one day, watch out for my pineapple canon.

For the actual game itself though, I would like the rebirth to both stay true to the original for character usability, so only still be able to use DK, Diddy, Lanky, Tiny and Chunky. But on the other hand, add more sidequests and other Kongs to interact with. Cranky, Candy, Funky and Snide were perfect catalysts for continuing collecting as many bananas, coins and blueprints as you would, so why not bump up the list to include more interactive players. Also, bring back Troff and Scoff. I don't know how many times I've been frustrated by being one banana short of opening the door to a boss battle, but the game would have been the same without them (like Navi in Ocarina of Time).

When it comes to location, I would 100% want for all the original levels to be included, or more simply put, I would like the whole DK Isles to be in the game but also add a completely new island to explore too. There are many ways this can be produced through the story line. King K. Rool is back to conquer the DK Isles with a new ship or Cranky Kong has accidentally develop a portal that leads to somewhere unknown (cliche but it always works) or even someone new has kidnapped the Kongs and you must team up with K. Rool to save them.

Time to start crossing my fingers this gets made. Nintendo, you know you want to do a sequel.

Good morning. My buddy Dennis took this awesome picture of my bicycle and I on Friday. My trademark headbands are on my other hand. This is really a great picture.

Set Up The Lights

It really annoys me when I'm not really sure what songs to post up on my blog. Right now I'm feeling a bit Southern Rock-ish so this is Maylene and the Songs of Disaster's "Tough as John Jacobs." From the very first riff, you can feel the Southern sound running through your body. Check it out and enjoy your night everyone. Good night and good luck.

Our Conscience In The Gutter

Hello there, I enjoy The Living End. Really cool punk (kinda) band. I discovered them about a good 12-13 years ago on a Mountain Dew cd I got from buying a Mountain Dew shirt. Anyways, the song is very catchy so check it out and have a great day.
