"I could do with a bit more money!": Yu Suzuki on the return of Shenmue
I was a huge fan of both Shenmue's when they were out on the Dreamcast and I am a huge fan of its spititual sequel the Yakuza series but there was something that didn't quite sit right with me with this kickstarter campaign. With Sony backing it, a record broken on kickstarter, probably a number of other unknown corporate backers and they still don't have enough money? If something doesn't make sense, it usually has an ulterior motive and there is things in this campaign that are too convoluted and do not make sense. That is why I did not back it.
I hope i'm wrong, but I am suspicious as they weren't completely open about their plans and it seems to me they are playing on peoples want for Shenmue. Reply +3
Digital Foundry: Hands-on with Uncharted: the Nathan Drake Collection
Im getting totally fed up of these HD remakes of games that are only a few years old. Sony are the main culprits for this easy moneygrabbing cash in, its like they release a lazy remake every other week. I think i'll stick to my PC for now, until they release something worth buying a new console for. Reply -26
Assassin's Creed Syndicate has an achievement for shooting horses
Shouldn't you get that achievement anyway considering the amount of people you murder in these games? Killing humans good, shooting horse, may you burn in hell you scumbag. Bit stupid isn't it? Reply 0
Konami ceases triple-A console production on all but PES - report
Aren't they about 5 years too late to be just focusing on the over crowded mobile market? I am sure that ship has sailed, but then again this decision is probably taken with the Asian market in mind. Reply +3
Nintendo delays Star Fox Zero until 2016
I really have no problem with this, especially as the extra time will be used to make the game better, plus Fallout 4 is out that month, plus Yakuza 5 is going to be released around that time. Reply +1
UK tax watchers are furious with the "fairly undramatic" Ship Emergency Simulator
Just use their websites search engine and find the stuff they aren't showing false outrage about. Then you will see what they are picking and choosing what is a waste of taxpayers money. Reply +1
@arcam Just go on their website because they seem to be pushing a massive anti EU agenda, making me think that they are not what they claim to be. Search their website and you will find absolutely zero about us subsidising the Royals, but plenty of anti EU rhetoric and criticism of money wasted. They definitely have an ulterior motive and I don't think they are detached from the government like they claim. Reply +4
I hope this tax payers alliance are also complaining about other things our tax gets wasted on ie the Royal family, illegal wars, peers in the House of Lords getting �300 tax free expenses per day,the BBC and its government propaganda to keep us all in line, corporations not paying the tax they owe, the rest of the UK funding London etc.
I don't know why they are singling out video games especially as its larger than the music and film industry put together and they get subsidised to fuck. Reply +5

Angry Birds 2 review
Anyone remember a few years back when the head of Rovio was slagging off Nintendo like his company were beyond criticism? They got lucky with Angry Birds and have produced absolutely zero since and that includes this game.
They have properly milked a highly average game. Reply +2
New article on Konami paints a bleak picture
Why would Konami try and fuck up their own company like that and why would they piss all over their history and just go for the mobile platforms that are already over crowded and not a guarantee of success? It seems to me that a lot of Japanese companies have twigged onto the mobile market 4 years too late.
Goodbye Konami, its been nice knowing you. Reply +1
Resident Evil 2 remake pitched to Capcom by Resi HD producer
Anyone get the feeling that Capcom is milking the Resi series to death and it will get to the point where people will get totally fed up?
By the way, they did release Resi 2 and 3 on the Gamecube as well as the Dreamcast.
If they did re-re-re-re-release Resi 2 yet again with the graphics done up, I probably would bite though because it was a kickarse game. Reply 0

The BBC is giving a tiny computer to every year 7 child in the UK - for free
Not exactly free when we are all forced to pay for a licence. I don't even watch that boring government propaganda channel and I still have to subsidise them and their kiddy fiddling royalist love in.
They are already losing huge popularity for their lies and impartiality about the Scots last September and this is just a stunt to make them look relevant. As far as I am concerned they are an establishment mouth piece and need to disappear, and then I can spend MY MONEY on things I USE.
I have had enough of them pushing British/English nationalism on everyone while ignoring the other nations. Reply -5
Bethesda confirms Fallout 4 1080p30 on consoles, unrestricted on PC
@arcam I used to work for one of these companies and Bethesda policing it is not enough. Both these companies have to give the go ahead for anything that is on their consoles so it is they that will presumably have to police it.....for free. They can't have an outsider companies deciding what to put on their consoles without their say so, or it is the console manufacturer who will get taken to court for IP infringements and sex mods destroying children's lives and all that crap. Reply +1
Who is going to police the mods on the consoles? Surely consoles have strict guidelines on what goes on their machines and I'm sure the naked mods or mods that have other companies IP would cause them a lot of problems.
There are a lot of Nintendo mods on Skyrim and I can't see Sony and Microsoft wanting to put the time and money to police this type of stuff especially when these mods are free and do not generate profit for them.
Or is this and the paid mods fiasco on Steam making a pathway to charging for mods in the future? Reply 0
Yu Suzuki wants $10 million to make a truly open world Shenmue 3
Sony aren't funding the development of Shenmue 3. They are funding the port to be made for the PS4 and the advertising of the game. Reply +3

Rockstar launches BBC lawsuit over Grand Theft Auto drama
Why should anyone be forced to pay �150 per year for a handful of boring channels? It is thievery and forced taxation. What about their adverts promoting their tat in between their programmes anyway? Reply -2
The BBC, the paedophiles safehouse. I saw their "impartiality" during the Scottish referendum and they were basically the mouthpiece of the establishment and spread huge lies about what was really going on in Scotland. Fuck them, I hope they get screwed over because they don't deserve my money ever again. Reply -2

Ubisoft deactivating keys it says were "fraudulently" obtained and resold
Looks like my copy is safe. It would be nice if I could even start it without it completely fucking up and not being able to play the game I paid good money for though Ubisoft. I have always been a fan of their games, but never again after this. They have lost a customer by rushing their product through and not fixing the mess they have sold me. Reply +1
Video: Hatred, and why it wanted that 'Adults Only' rating
No this is a discussion in a closed group, so nobody on the comments section is actually promoting it to the wider world. Reply 0
Ugh, a puerile murder simulator for kids who haven't broken their voices yet and think this type of crap is mature. After all the amazing indie games that are being released, up pops this shit and gets more media time than games that actually deserve it.
Its the way the game glorifies murdering people that are begging to be spared while your character is furiously stabbing them that means those wierdo developers will not be getting my money in a million years.
I have played some really violent games in the past, but none of them have disturbed me so much because those games weren't just about murdering innocent bystanders. Reply +2

Student-made Ukip parody game upsets Nigel Farage
@dogmanstaruk London has got the whole of the UK 1.4 trillion in debt, and you are banging on about how the the Scots won't be able to look after themselves. Are you kidding me? Reply 0
@IronSoldier So your idea of saving the UK economy is by putting Farage in, who is an ex stock market trader and the type of greedy arsehole that got us into this shit in the first place. That's like putting Hitler in charge of race relations. Reply 0
@The12thMonkey That's the one, the one that attacks immigrants every other page. Reply -1
You have to be a special kind of fuckwit to vote for these fuckwits. I wish people would actually read up on them because they are a Tory splinter group who thought the Tories weren't right wing enough IN THE 80'S!! Farage is an ex Tory activist. Their MP's have defected FROM THE TORIES and 90% of their financial backers are EX TORY FINANCIAL BACKERS!!
You couldn't make it up or whatever other bullshit soundbite hate filled people love to use.
By the way, I don't vote Labour, they are just as big a arseholes as all the other major Westminster parties. Reply +2
Controversial mass murdering game Hatred appears on Steam Greenlight
The one where the government banned face sitting and women jizzing in UK porn films. (sorry about the language, I can't think of another word for it)Mumsnet is a website that is basically the Daily Mail for mothers, and they start a lot of ridiculous campaigns with a lot of mis-truths and the government is shit scared of them because it could be a vote loser. Whenever anything gets censored, its usually they who got the ball rolling. Reply +2
@arcam People have the right to criticise tasteless things like this. And this game has not only crossed the line, it has shat on it. By the way, it was Valve that gave this game the free huge media coverage, not me complaining about it on a website that only a few hundred people comment on. Reply 0
@bad09 I take it you have never heard of Mumsnet. Why do you think that the porn law was brought in last week? They have huge sway over our politicians and have got a hell of a lot censored in the past. Once they get a sniff of this, the politicians will be quaking in their boots and will be desperate to be seen protecting children, right before an election year aswell. Reply 0
How much of a fuckwit do you have to be to think that this game helps you blow off steam? Is grabbing a woman, sticking a gun to her head while she is begging for mercy before blowing a hole in her head anyones idea of "blowing off steam"? Sounds more like some fucked up power fantasy to me.
And comparing this to any other violent game is ridiculous. In most other violent games there is a narrative and you tend to be shooting people that shoot back.Even that bit in COD where you could massacre a load of bystanders at the airport had a reason for doing so and was part of the plot, but this one just takes the biscuit in the worse way it can. 30 years of playing videogames and I have rarely seen a videogame cross the line in such a way.
I honestly reckon this game will do more damage to the type of games we can play than anything else, because once this is released then watch the media go crazy and get pressure groups to pressure politicians into doing something about the videogame violence we currently have. Releasing this game could end up pushing more censorship onto the medium we love so much. Reply 0
Did I just see the games main character stab a child in the stomach? This game cannot be compared to GTA. By the way Rampage in GTA is a shoot out with other people with guns, this on the other hand is killing innocent unarmed bystanders because that is the main point in the game. Its fucking sick!! Plus what makes it worse is that the developers have fascist tendencies which means that other scumbags like that will be encouraged to buy this turd. I studied in Poland about 15 years ago and had a load of African mates and these scumbags would think it was acceptable to attack us. My mates because of their colour and me because I was apparently a traitor to my race. You will happily hear that these cowardly fucks got the shit kicked out of them every single time, and people with this type of mindset deserve everything that they try and dish out. I am 100% with Valve on this one. Who in their right mind would want their business linked with a bunch of white power arseholes? Another thing, how can any Pole support fascism after what happened to them in WW2? Reply -2
Ubisoft delays Assassin's Creed: Unity's next major patch
I have just bought Far Cry 4 on the PC a month after its release and it still won't let me use my controller without it wrecking the game. As much as I love their games as a developer, as a publisher they are a joke and this is the reason why I will never ever buy another game off them until its 3-4 months down the line and patched so it bloody works in the first place. Just by rushing their games out on release, I refuse to pay full price for a broken item. Reply 0

Nintendo earnings improve, but Wii U and 3DS sales still slow
I got my WiiU about 6 months ago and I have to say the console is brilliant and I have really enjoyed the games Nintendo have released, even though 3rd party games barely exist on it. I also got myself an awesome gaming PC so I just don't need to get a PS4 or a Xbox One I can already get most of the same games on the PC. Even the exclusive titles on these next gen consoles aren't worth the capital outlay. Reply +1
The problem with video game guns
Turok had the best weapons. As mentioned before the Cerebral Bore, then there was that awesome laser gun that bullets would bounce off the walls until it hit someone and the the mine gun that mines would jump up in the air and blow up cutting the bad guys in half. Plus not a gun, but that massive ninja star boomerang type weapon than would come back to you covered in blood. I actually think the problem is that most shooters are set in modern times and online multiplayer forces guns to be boring as sin. Reply +2

UK gov changing law to get tough on internet trolling
@Plugmonkey. Its called setting up precedences and then using that law as a way of installing new even more unfair ones. They have been doing this for hundreds of years. Small insignificant laws, build up to much larger ones.
This type of offence will be dealt by a magistrates court and not crown court anyway. Reply -2

The Colville National Forest disproves the widely held notion that Washington state lies flat east of the Cascade Mountains. Today's 1.1 million acre forest was first shaped over 10,000 years ago by Ice Age glaciers that carved three major valleys of today's Columbia, San Poil-Curlew, and Pend Oreille River flowing north into Canada before entering the Columbia River. These million acres in the northeast corner roll like the high seas. Three waves of mountains run from north to south, separated by troughs of valleys. These ranges -- the Okanogan, Kettle River, and Selkirk -- are considered foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Read full article.

The 1947 British withdrawal from the Indian subcontinent led to the creation of two sovereign states: India and Pakistan. Drawing on the Hindu- Muslim chasm, the controversial 'two-nation theory' justified the great divide. Although Jinnah attained what he had long sought, the very basis of the partition was fragile, otherwise the erstwhile East Pakistan would not have seceded to form an independent state within less than three decades. Now, a number of studies have shown the extent to which religion was emphasised for political ends. Whatever the explanation, 1947 saw the vivisection of the subcontinent of India into two separate states. This chapter examines the short-lived proposal to create three and not two sovereign polities - India, Pakistan and United Bengal.
Between April and June 1947, top Bengali politicians such as Sarat Bose, K. S. Roy and H. S. Suhrawardy argued for a united Bengal comprising both east and west Bengal. Although they failed to generate adequate support in favour of the campaign, in their correspondence with the British authorities which has been published in The Transfer of Power volumes edited by Manseurgh and Moon, both the provincial Congress and Muslim League leaders made a strong case for an independent Bengal. Their efforts did not yield results, though the unity shown by them during the period was remarkable. Neither the British nor the Congress High Command thought the proposal viable in view of the deepening fissure between the Hindus and the Muslims at the grassroots level. What probably conditioned their decision was the experience of the devastating riots in and around Calcutta following the League's 'Direct Action' call on 16 August 1946.
The idea of a united Bengal owed its origin to H. S. Suhrawardy, the then Premier of Bengal, who at a press conference in Delhi on 27 April 1947 argued strongly for 'an independent, undivided and sovereign Bengal in a divided India as a separate dominion'. 1 Although the Bengal Premier spelt

Dragon UnPACKer5.6.2 Build 268 / 5.7.0 Build 284 Beta
editor's review
1 comment
A lot of gamers like to TAKE images or sounds from their preferred game and use them on a mobile phone or straight on the PC. This, however can be a difficult task if the appropriate tools are not available because the all the media is usually packed in a less common format that cannot be accessed directly.
For such endeavors Dragon UnPACKer was created. It is a very simple application that lets you get inside large file packs used by very popular game titles.
Dragon UnPACKer is a rather light utility, so it will take you only a couple of minutes to have it up and running. As soon as you open it, you'll see a very clean and simple interface that allows you to extract files from a wide range of formats.
In just a few words, Dragon UnPACKer enables you to unpack the images, audio files or videos from large packs used inside popular titles such as Unreal Tournament, Quake, Half-Life, Call of Duty and many, many others.
What we liked the most during our test was how fast Dragon UnPACKer actually manages to handle very large archives, as the whole content of the packs is displayed in just a few seconds. Not to mention that the application also has a preview window, so you can easily see if the image you pick is the one you were looking for.
All things considered, Dragon UnPACKer is the tool you need if you want to see what's inside those game archives and grab the media you're after. It is very easy to operate and the extraction is done momentarily so you'll be able to get music, videos and images in no time at all.

Alarm Clock1.1
editor's review
2 comments
Alarm Clock is a simple gadget for your desktop that enables you to set up alarms in just a few steps. It packs a user-friendly interface with handy options.
The small-sized frame has a red background and can be moved to any position on the screen. If you also make it stay on top of other windows, Alarm Clock becomes unintrusive and you can quickly switch to its window from any application you're working in.
Time is shown in the 12-hour clock format, and this option cannot be changed. You can enable an alarm and specify the hour, minute and second to trigger at, or make the clock ring according to a countdown timer, by selecting a preset value, ranging from 1 minute to 30 minutes.
A few preferences can be customized from the Settings panel where you can specify a custom alarm sound or song (e.g. MP3, WAV), hide the seconds (except when running on battery), pick other frame colors, and set the blur effect intensity.
Alarm Clock is very light on the system resources, running on a very low quantity of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and works smoothly, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Unfortunately, you cannot schedule multiple alarms or assign comments.

BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS—This may well be the best of all the Caribbean islands. The usual glories of sand and surf are there in abundance, but the island's larger size and varied topography make for fascinating touring. And it also has some absolutely terrific food, thanks to the mixture of indigenous ingredients and European know-how from the generations past who wanted their food cooked just as well as it had been back home. The combination is unbeatable.
THE CLIFF — I had heard of this legendary restaurant long before I ever arrived in Barbados and I wondered if anything could live up to its reputation. I was instantly blown away by its setting, hugging a cliff wall, overlooking the ocean. You walk in at the level of the cocktail area, then descend steep steps to a dining room that's just close enough to the sea to be magical. And the food is just as grand. My meal began with a perfectly prepared linguine and shrimp in a subtle chive sauce, went on to a perfectly prepared barracuda steak and ended with a flaming snowball, the first ignited dessert I've ever really enjoyed, with a tart, adult taste. Superb service, great food and a view you'll never forget. Yes, a complete meal will cost $140 (Canadian), but it's truly worth it. (Derricks, St. James; (246) 432-1922; thecliffbarbados.com)
CIN CIN BY THE SEA — This is really the kind of restaurant you'd expect to find in Malibu or on Florida's Gold Coast. It's sleek, elegant, super-modern and blessed with floor to ceiling windows that let you enjoy the glistening sea outside. I went at lunchtime and couldn't think of a better place to spend a sunny afternoon, especially enjoying a moist Caribbean crab cake to start, followed by some perfectly sautéed snapper that couldn't have been fresher. And, OK, I had the white chocolate cheesecake for dessert. I'm only human. Plan on about $40 for three courses. (Prospect, St. James; (246) 424-4557; cincinbarbados.com)
BROWN SUGAR — After all the elegance of the first two places I encountered, it was a change and a treat to spend an evening enjoying real Bajan food. This popular place is down the end of a leafy road, with the genuine charm of a heritage home. And the food has the same authenticity. I began with Barbadian Hots, which are strips of local fish marinated in zesty spices and fried crisp. Then I went onto Martin's Choice, a mixed platter of flying fish, mahi-mahi, shrimp and crab. I was told it would be a mistake to miss the Paw Paw (warm papaya) pie, so I didn't. $50 for a complete meal that will fill you up nicely. (Bridgetown, Bay St.; (246) 426-7684; brownsugarbarbados.com)
CUZ'S FISH SHACK — One of the great culinary snacks of Barbados is a "cutter," a salt-bread bun filled with egg, cheese, flying fish, pork, or ham and then cut in half. Some say that's the origin of the name, others say it's because it "cuts" your hunger. Whatever story you go with, this Bridgetown location is the best place to try one. It really is just a shack, open from 9-5 each day and there's usually a lineup that's well deserved. The simplicity of the peppery breading on the marlin sandwich, combined with a sprinkle of vinegar and some zesty pickles make it one of the best things I've ever eaten. Honest! $4 a sandwich. Amazing. (Highway 7, Needham's Point, Bridgetown; no phone, no website.)
WATERSIDE RESTAURANT — They refer to the atmosphere here as "Caribbean Chic" and that's an excellent definition of this sophisticated eatery. Once again, there's an unforgettable view of the water, but the menu here is decidedly different and very skilled. Breadfruit soup with smoked marlin is an amazing starter, five-spiced braised beef short ribs was a welcome hearty alternative after all the local fish and the pistachio crème brûlée rounded things off nicely. $65 for the full meal deal. (St. Lawrence Gap, Christchurch; (246) 418-9750; watersiderest.com)
CHEFETTE — OK, I normally wouldn't recommend a fast-food chain in this column, but this is something different. Chefette has 14 locations around the island, offering burgers, rotis, pizza etc. — but it's their BBQ Barns that grabbed my attention. I mean, how often do you find grilled mahi-mahi on a menu like this? And, surprise! It was really tasty and only $15 for a giant portion. Their pork ribs platter was great, complete with macaroni pie and only $17.50. If you're in a hurry, it's a smart suggestion. (Numerous locations; check chefette.com for the one nearest you.)

They may not be able to reason it out logically or cognitively, but they seem to learn quickly that certain behaviors will get certain results. Because parents naturally have the power in the relationship, when that balance is challenged it becomes a "struggle" for power. Our children want it, and as parents,

I'm surprised there aren't any threads here on the upcoming Notubes Hugo 52mm rim.
The shape is very interesting (different). They claim that it works well with tubes but it seems like the internal box would stress tubes somewhat. Thoughts on that?
I know I'm looking forward to building up a set for their presumed tubeless capability.

Death Penalty?
MUNCIE, Ind. - An Indiana man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting he forced his 7-year-old daughter to stab the family cat to death.
During his sentencing on Friday, Danield Collins said he was "extremely sorry" for his actions. The judge in the case told him it wasn't "civilized conduct."
In exchange for a guilty plea on animal cruelty and two counts of neglect, prosecutors dropped three other felony charges against the 39-year-old.
Collins' daughter and his 11-year-old son said Collins ordered them to stab the cat in March because he wanted them to "learn to kill."
Police say the boy tried to hide the cat, but Collins found the animal and strangled it while his children watched.
Collins says he was intoxicated at the time and remembers little about what happened that day.
To me it is clear that this person should not be allowed to be around kids. I titled this death penalty, because a person like this needs to just be dead. This is the most horrible story I have came across in a long time. What the hell is wrong with people. Where was PETA? They are too busy worrying about TDK, when they should have been pushing for a longer sentence for this guy.
He said he was "intoxicated". My fucking ass he was. This is always the excuse for everything. Hey, I got been drunk and I never wanted to do any anything like that. Alcohol usually enhances your personality, so by that line of thinking, this man is a fucking nutcase wanna be killer with no regard for any sort of life. If that is the case, then we should fry the fucker. Time to get rid of useless pieces of trash like this from our planet. I know this might shock many of the liberals here, but come on. I am tired of people who physically and mentally hurt innocent creatures, especially children.

Jeremy Bible
The Journey of Enoch [CS; Rubber City Noise]
By Jspicer on Nov 7 2011
The proliferation of tape labels has given birth to an equally rampant and much appreciated phenomenon: the lost reissue. Of course, how do we know something is lost to us when we never had it in the first place? Needless to say, Jeremy Bible's The Journey of Enoch was most definitely lost, drowned in limited availability and a response to the blowhards that dominated radio, television, and print for the last few years of the 20th century. Recorded between 1998-2000 and first released as a CD-R in 2004, Bible's baby is given a proper Easter celebration — the dark, piercing synth reverberating from the hollow earth from where Enoch was buried, as Bible busts through the dirt and ascends the physical plane, only to find a world seeking salvation at the hands of the synthesizer. Of course, the persistent hums key a chorus of angels, singing in a language that needs not to be fully recognized to be understood. Bible's cult classic now finds itself on tape, a place its manifesto was meant to be guarded all those years ago. With a new track lineup and art, Bible's cherished Enoch is given the dressings of a king without tarnishing its halo. But come the end of Enoch, you may begin to discover that Bible has not produced the new savior, but has in fact given rise to the horn-tailed devil, as the album pokes you with its sharp pitchfork, the angelic chorus turning to fiery cackles.Links: Rubber City Noise
The Rebel
The Five Year Plan [12-inch; Monofonus Press]
By Grant 'Gumshoe' Purdum on Nov 7 2011
Last I heard about five-year plans was from D.R.I., so who's this fuckin' "rebel" guy? Apparently he's in Country Teasers (who aren't Scene Creamers, unfortunately), which doesn't help me out much. What to do? The Rebel wants more, more, more; MORE as in LESS-is, I mean. These cutz are relatively bare, considering all the temptations out there just waiting to be picked up. Oscillators, pads, pedals, loops — many of these tools are leading us right down a toilet-swirl of chillwave/hypnagogic fogginess, but The Rebel ain't goin' there. Just give him a guitar, a synth or two, a cheap drum machine stolen from a pawn, and something — anything — to record with. He'll make do. To be honest, my mind's kind of spinning right now. I just don't hear enough good indie-rock these days. Inspector 22, The Robot Ate Me, Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, Emperor X, The Planet The, and listen to that bassist go super-high up on that fret; that's gotta be real. Rock it, big man. Those tag-echo vocals also do it for me. A smooth ride.Links: Monofonus Press
M. Aker
The Elders of New Detroit [CS; Retrograde]
By Jspicer on Nov 7 2011
In the world of blaxplotation, there is no film rifer with folly than Detroit 9000. And yet, for all its mistakes, it still captures a city crumbling despite one beastly history of success and homogeneous pride. Nearly 40 years on and Detroit continues to shrink into the abyss, known largely for automobile fuck-ups and an aging rock scene that still spits out relevant (along with many irrelevant) acts from its dried-up womb. However, Matthew Aker is lending Detroit a bit of silver-bullet power with his 80s soundtrack homage, The Elders of New Detroit. Speaking in the same jive as the marks in Detroit 9000, Aker speaks to a Detroit still riddled with rotten enamel but strong in root. For all the obstacles that stand in Detroit's way back to prominence, the power surging through Aker's work — harkening to the machismo of Commando, Robocop, and its action-flick ilk — also speaks to an idea of a brighter future. There's always going to be something to darken our doors, and it stands to reason Detroit will always have its detractors and antagonists. But may the synthesized soul and confident strut of The Elders of New Detroit lend the citizens of Detroit the confidence to wrestle itself out of corrupt hands and to remake itself as the steely city it was once proud to be.Links: Retrograde
Jordan Piper Phillips
Glades [CS; Feeding Tube]
By Grant 'Gumshoe' Purdum on Nov 7 2011
As soon as cassette-head hit tape, I knew this was that motha-humpa from GDC and Blanche Blanche Blanche, getting all overly comfortable on his piano stool and shit. Truth is, I craved to hear a coherent Casio-finger flow after the exhausting razzle-dazzle of the GDC tape on Alchemist ("Jours Avec Jennie"), and "Glades" is… more zany than I'd dared dream, perhaps even a few whippets above what I'd already heard. I guess I'm not gonna catch a break from this guy, and that's okay, because he's working up to something truly dramatic, one composition at a time. There exist moments aboard "Glades" so pure ("Different Guy," "The Climate") you'd swear dude was ready for a piece of Ariel Pink-curated prime time. Just listen to that milky synth drizzle into the nooks and crannies of that Thelonious comp! Ultimately, Phillips is still working shit out, and like I always say, I hope he gets the chance to take his time. The shade is the best place to find your face.Links: Feeding Tube
Aoxomoxoa [12-inch; Brave Mysteries]
By Jspicer on Oct 5 2011
Doom and gloom exporter Brave Mysteries continues to expand its stonewashed mind with acid-washed tomfoolery. How else to explain the schizophrenic wonders of the strangely twisted PWIN ▲▲ TEAKS? Blending warped tape loops and samples, Aoxomoxoa exists only in the mind, so to hear it coming from speakers only causes paranoia and anxiety. Noises come from all directions and in all pitches and tones, blending itself into a climax only suitable for those who can stand to watch Requiem for a Dream on repeat. But when the swirling nonsense does die down, PWIN ▲▲ TEAKS is discovered to be masters of nuance. As the din of "The Mirror Cabinet of the Water Witches" draws to a fade out, the rich layers of low-end rhythm and high-end drone unveil a band as steeped in musicology as it is in psychology. The cassette's title track is even more subtle once it silences the voices talking over one another. Don't be fooled by the stylized name and gimmick; PWIN ▲▲ TEAKS is deeper than their shallow name and trendy palindrome of a tape title leads on.Links: Brave Mysteries
Aaron Dilloway
Lip Syncing to Verme [CS; Hundebiss]
By Grant 'Gumshoe' Purdum on Oct 5 2011
Aaron Dilloway's Lip Syncing to Verme is the best kind of noise experiment: one that constantly turns the listener on his ear. D-way also takes the extra step necessary to extend a noise recording's worth from "glad-I-checked-it-out-now-to-the-back-of-the-pile-with-you" to "I-find-you-enchanting-and-will-lovingly-place-you-on-the-Favorites-rack." Side A is like hearing that short story wherein a young girl falls asleep and wakes up packed to the gills with ants (They had climbed into her nose, you see.): I'm creeped the-fugg out and I think something's buzzing around my skull. I can't really tell you what's going on here. Dill could be sampling a pig's "hoinkle" or diddling the innards of a dusty, hard-to-find Royal typewriter and I'd never know the difference between it and a duck's fart (though officially my money's on a piece of luggage being thrown around a room with snare-drum-head walls). And that's of course the beauty of the whole process: I feel I'm learning by way of knowing it exists.Links: Hundebiss
Shearing Pinx / Ahna
Shearing Pinx / Ahna [7-inch; Geographing]
By Grant 'Gumshoe' Purdum on Oct 5 2011
I'm way beyond the point of return with Shearing Pinx. I know and love them like the back of my hand, and the back of my hand is FUCKING AWESOME, an uncanny assortment of veins, skin, and sandy, blonde body hair. ShxPx's side of their split 7-inch with Ahna isn't particularly special when you consider the incredible scope and dearth of the former's catalog, but it's still a damn-fine egg. "Bodies" is more a groove than a noise-rock shard, starting off heavy-handed and ending in a warm pool of its own delicious leavings. More of those fantastic vox, by god; Pinx know how to stretch a larynx without pulverizing it. Ahna are like a young Shearing Pinx: They charge balls-/bass-out and scream right in your face, BLAHHHHHHHAHLKGKSALDG!$^&*#$!!, and a lot of folks aren't going to like that. I, however, DO. It's a robotic attack of slow, churning hardcore aggression. Ahna's stuff is fairly rote considering the craziness being undertaken these days, but that's also its charm. Think Dead And Gone/Creeps On Candy, Flipper, The Pope, etc., then click your heels twice to get back home.Links: Geographing
Sister Overdrive
Honey [CS; Organized Music from Thessaloniki]
By Matthew Horne on Oct 5 2011
On the more abrasive side of Organized Music from Thessaloniki's, Sister Overdrive's (a.k.a. Giannis Kotsonis) Honey is a patchwork of at times short tracks stitched together into two sides of a cassette. As a result, it covers quite a bit of ground within the electro-acoustic and harsh noise spectrum but without ever feeling disjointed — as the liner says, "The structure, episodic on the surface, follows at the same time a larger form with a discernible internal logic." This fractured yet consistent structure is reminiscent of a dream-like state experienced at supremal volumes; car jams for the catatonic.Links: Organized Music from Thessaloniki
M. Geddes Gengras
Tetragrammaton [CS; Sacred Phrases]
By Jspicer on Oct 5 2011
Fort Wayne, Ind may not strike fear into the hearts of mortal men, but tape label Sacred Phrases will do its damnedest to change that attitude — even if they have to go outside their Hoosier borders to make it so. Prime example: the bombastic new cassette stunner from M. Geddes Gengras. Plastered with a fantastical fireworks display, Tetragrammaton puts the onus of synthesized pleasure on the listener, exploding with the fiery energy of its cover from the moment the play mechanism broaches the tape. Intro "Agape" leaves listeners just as it contends a whirlwind of sound kinetically combining into a synth sound that is neither the future nor the past, but the now — a much-appreciated exploration of the sound. Complement "IAO" is a softer, more sensual sound, perhaps a bit swank in Barbarella futurestyle but yet, one can't help but sense the need to stay in the now from Gengras. B-side séance "LVX" is the first real hint of reaching out to the future, forgoing the combustible energy of Side A for the spatial. It's a colder second half, but one that puts a bit of bite into Gengras' work and Sacred Phrases' reputation.Links: Sacred Phrases
Cave Bears
No Weird USA [CS; Feeding Tube]
By Grant 'Gumshoe' Purdum on Oct 5 2011
Cave Bears, holy fuckballz. They're for people who think Mama Baer "fuckin' sold OUT man," those who find harsh noise comforting and, perhaps most of all, those who believe that hysterical whimsy brings out the best in an abstract artist. These are sound paintings made with brushes covered in human excrement, video games constructed with broken pixels, and ballads dedicated to farm animals. My favorite moments don't take a genius to "get" — the sudden swarms of Atari bleepity-bloop, fiery bathhouse scream-a-longs (I honestly don't know what the "bathhouse" thing even means) — and it'll probably be a few decades before I can really Digest all that's going on here. I have to say, however, that it doesn't ring that much crazier today than, say, Danse Manatee did in its day, which, well SHIT, wasn't even that long ago besides. "No Weird USA" is too painful not to be ahead of the curve, if you know what I mean. Too instinctive to even question.Links: Feeding Tube


text:
"Working or acting together willingly for a common purpose or benefit", that's the real-life definition of cooperation, however, any sort of experience with the video game shooting genre in the last two years and you would think the video game counter-part of that definition would be exclusive to "Helping a friend over an absurdly-high ledge". Left 4 Dead aims to broaden the video game definition of cooperation to fit more in-line with the real-life definition, well, as close to reality as a zombie apocalypse can come.
Let's face it, slow-paced zombies don't lend themselves too well to a tense gaming experience, Valve ditches the "Zombies are slow" stereotype, and L4D's flesh-hunters—called The Infected--go 28 Days Later style—fast. Finding out how everyone became infected isn't easy, story isn't told in cut-scenes, but from rumor-filled graffiti á la Portal.
Fortunately, you'll have plenty of time to unravel the hidden back-story. L4D may only contain four short-lived campaigns—that each have you trying to get to a rescue vehicle—but Valve's so-called "A.I director" makes each subsequent—and inevitable—play-through feel all the more fresh than simply relying on the zombie's spontaneous nature. Depending on how you and your group of friends are playing, the director will spawn his legions of The Infected to give you the perfect scare. The same spot where you were ambushed last-time by The Infected-horde may not be there, and they now may be hiding in last-round's all too quiet spot.
Left 4 Dead is the first time I felt like I needed my friends to survive, most co-op games rely on the level design to create that feeling—switches to lower a bridge for your friend etc--but without a friend playing, the game experience is largely the same when playing with an A.I buddy. L4D takes the opposite approach to design, and most of the cooperative challenges stem from the game's aptly named--"Special Infected". There are five types of the more-powerful breed of zombies: Smoker, Boomer, Witch, Hunter, and Tank, all of which have their own unique abilities: long-constricting tongue (Smoker), vomit projecting/Infected horde attractor (Boomer), fast (Witch), frog-like (Hunter) strong and durable (Tank). The game is at its best when The Special Infected are stringed together and create a chain-reaction of equal parts panic and enjoyment. There is nothing quite like being held in a sense of panic by the game's nigh-invincible Tank's groan, then only to have your friends incapacitated by the lesser Special Infected, thus, leaving you to fight the Tank alone, all of these moments are just so memorable that you'll have a near-uncontrollable urge to tell your friends. While, being held down by one of the Special Infected may enforce a teamwork environment, it seems a little too forced at times. Sure, I could buy into a super-human pinning me down, but why am I completely useless when it comes to pulling myself off from a ledge?
While the simple process of healing a teammate may require almost no common-sense, the constant-worriment of a nearby ambush will make you re-think whether to save the precious health-kit for yourself. Health-kits are not the only small-time dilemma in L4D, it seems that any assortment of medical-care can result in whether or not you reach the next rescue, and whether you'll lose any of your friends' trust. Who are you going to revive friend A or friend B?
You'll want to choose your friends wisely in L4D's competitive multi-player. L4D may not have tons of different modes to chose from—they only have one—but its lone mode is so fresh and unique that you'll even forgive the game for only shipping with two of the game's four campaigns given for competitive multi-player. Running with friends through the game's campaign mode is fun, but playing on The Infected's side and knowing that you are frustrating the other team--who has probably just done the same to you—is just, well, awesome. Playing as The Infected is much different than playing as the straight-forward survivors, and it's definitely not for the typical controller-thrower. Spawn points are not predetermined, you'll appear as a ghostly image on your friend's screen, and choosing your spawn point is much-like a classic game of hide-and-go-seek—and you will want to find them before they find you. Isolating a survivor is key, because otherwise a quick couple of shots will not be your only penalty, but rather the twenty-second and beyond re-spawn times. Though this may seem frustrating at first—and it still can be—it just wouldn't be fair to the other team to have boomer after boomer—and the occasional Tank—constantly bombarding them, and plus the re-spawn times act as a subtle way of letting you know to work together, so maybe you won't have to re-spawn so much.
The competitive multi-player comes off as a bit unpolished, mainly because the competitive-maps are straight-exerts of the single-player campaign. A forklift may just set the mood in campaign mode, in competitive-play it doubles as an unbreakable barricade, and relying on stranger's good-will just doesn't work. Luckily, if enough players rally-up a vote can be called to boot players when needed, among a slew of other things to vote upon...or against.
Left 4 Dead makes many nods towards other ghoul-like movies, whether it's Zoey shouting "I got slimed"--an obvious reference towards Ghostbusters—or it's Blood Harvest's (one of the four campaigns) final standoff that is reminiscent of the cult-classic—Night of The Living Dead's farmhouse, but in my mind, Left 4 Dead may be the first zombie-classic in video game form to stand toe-to-toe with the likes of its own inspirations.
