Weekly Recommendation - Week #003 - Recent Discoveries

Hey you, sorry for last week's lack of recommendation. You can safely leave your cocoon now, we have returned (figuratively). This week, or last week;s, whatever, is recent discoveries. [I apologise as far in advance as possible for the quality]
Ergo Proxy – Manglobe (Series) – Author: Darren
Ergo Proxy is a philosophical dark science fiction (think [philosophy reference here] combined with Blade Runner. It's visually impressive and the character designs are fitting. The character portrayals are also fantastic but can occasionally come off as missing the mark. I don't have a lot to say as I haven't finished the series but, as implied by the title, I recommend it.
The Device – Tupper Ware Remix Party (Music) – Author: Darren
So, Tupper Ware Remix Party. They're crazy Nova Scotian “spandex clad groove-crusaders”. The like to wear traffic cones and masks. If neither of these things have turned you away, read on.
Self described as “The band that sounds like Daft Punk vs Iron Maiden and looks like the Power Rangers playing keytars.”, Tupper Ware Remix Party are fantastic and weirdly enthralling. I recently found out about them and am already hooked. I'm not doing the best job here but if you like them you can buy their album at the fantastically low price of whatever you want right here [http://twrp.bandcamp.com/album/the-device-ep]
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon – Ubisoft (Game) – Author: Darren
Don't get of that synth train yet, we have one final stop. It's that wonderful world of 80's sci-fi injected straight into the Far Cry 3 engine. It's as fun as it sounds, a crazy neon dinosaur fighting adventure sandbox. You play as Rex Powercolt, a cybernetic commando and model patriot. A great synth music 80's roller-coaster for all your rampage needs.
Well, I kept that short and shit. If you have and comments, criticism or recommendations of your own, leave them in the comments.
