Tuesday Tune Mention: Downfall by Contre-Attaque

New album just come out. We saw this guy last year live and thought he was really good. Synthwave, electro, prog rock and metal vibes. A real mixture of sounds that he uses to great effect.

Tuesday TV Tune Mention: Beef Soundtrack

This show is brilliant in a number of different ways but a special mention must go to the soundtrack. With some classic 90s and 2000s tunes including such classic as Drive by Incubus and Lonely Day by System of a Down to name a couple. They are also implemented really well into scenes of the show.

This is a really catchy song that was used at the close of the first Hunger Games film. Thematically it goes hand in hand with the subject matter of Hunger Games. Has a really good beat, vocals and really effectively rounds off the ending of the film.

22/03/2023

It's Wednesday what to play.

I decided to go for a brand new game releasing just yesterday for mobiles. This week it's MIGHTY DOOM!

An arcade like free to play mobile game where you play as a tiny Doom Slayer and fight your way through waves of enemies from across a range of classic hellish creatures from the series. Controls are simple, with just dragging across the screen to move and shooting/ aiming is done for you. You can use power weapons and super weapons as you build up energy for them and perform glory kills by staggering enemies and running into them.

It suprised me with its frantic and fun gameplay thats challenging but fair, with multiple upgrades as you work your way through 40 levels per stage and multiple stages to unlock.

As with any free to play game, you can pay money into it for quicker upgrades, cosmetics and more but none of it is needed to enjoy the game. You unlock plenty through regular play and so far nothing seems locked behind a paywall . Check it out on the Google play and Apple store and rip up some demons

Monday Podcast Mention: Serial

A true story podcast that features a different topic each season. Host Sarah Koenig investigates a number of interesting and gripping real life stories. The first season follows Adnan Syed, convicted of murdering his ex girlfriend. Throughout the whole season he protests his innocence. The case has so many contradictions and discrepancies that it has Sarah, and will no doubt have you, questioning whether he really did do it or not.
