If you remember the noughties (eww what a gross word), congratu-fucking-lations, they weren't that long ago (unless you have blocked out that period of time in which case, I can hardly blame you). While (like any other time) there was a duel carriageway of shit, there was actually a fair bit of good stuff from noughties. But what was the noughties though? Was it a message? Was it a prophecy? Or was it simply another set of years that we had to give a name to because apparently after every 10 years we completely change how we operate (which weirdly enough has kind of been the case). Anyway, here are things we recommend from that time. Not hard, because like I said, it wasn't that fucking long ago. Now I only have to wait five years until I can write about the... tennies? (oh god please don't let that be the name!)
No Country For Old Men - The Coen Brothers (Film) - Author: Chris
Do you know what love? (well at least when watching movies). Being completely stressed the fuck out. Do you know what film does this amazingly? Interestingly enough, you should already know, because I PUT IT AT THE FUCKING START OF THIS okay sorry I got a bit mad. No Country For Old Men is the greatest sweat creating device on the planet. It is directed extremely well, making you feel on edge for the simplest of scenes. How come? Because of the film's villain, and holy shit, what a superb villain he is. He has zero remorse, he seems to just kill people for no fucking reason, and with whatever he can fucking get. I swear down I have nightmares about that human being. So this guy finds the remnants of a gang shoot out in the desert, everyone is dead as hell, allowing him to acquire a bag of cash from the scene. This causes Mr "I'm going to give you nightmares" to stalk him. I don't want to give away to much, but holy shit the ending of this fill is one of the best endings to a film. So yeah, check this one out, unless you already have, in which case NEVER WATCH IT EVER AGAIN BECAUSE I SAID SO THAT'S WHY.
Run With The Hunted - Skyhill (Music) - Author: Darren
If you know us, then you'll know we constantly bang on about NSP and if you read the blog a (can't remember how long ago), then you'll have heard mention of Starbomb. Well, the vocalist from those, Dan Avidan (Game Grumps) is the vocalist for Skyhill.
It's a similar set up to NSP (but 'serious', one guy on vocals, one on music. The guy on music is phenomenal (maybe if better than Brian) and works well with Dan's vocals. The lyrics are ok, they don't detract from the relaxing mood.
As is the case usually, I'll show rather than tell because English coursework fun times hooray. [http://www.skyhillmusic.com/listen.htm]
Batman: Arkham Asylum - Rocksteady Studios (Game) - Author: Chris
If I was to have a favourite, or at least most memorable, game of the last however long games have been in existence, it would be this game. Fun fact: this was the first game I ever one hundred percented. Not only that, but I own this game on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC! Why is this the case? Because I hands down or to the sky fucking adore this game! While I do love Arkham City, which was Asylum but with more, I just love Asylum that much more. It was the first, so it didn't have as many upgrades or gadgets or as big of a map, but I loved the cramped, claustrophobic feel of the asylum: it's creepy, it's intense, and most importantly, it's a shit ton of fun! The voice acting is top, it looks great, and the combat/stealth mechanics are superb. Oh and the Scarecrow levels are some of my favourite levels in any video game ever. This game will be stupid cheap right now, so you must absolutely get this gem of a video game!
Go away.
