Thrak Attack

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? On this week's adventure we traveled to the far off land of the Mushroom Kingdom! Unfortunately, the mushroom kingdom is in a bit of disarray, the castle has been demolished and Mario needs to rebuild it! Super Mario Maker 2 is a wonderful game with a great premise. For almost 40 years we've been playing levels designed by the team at Nintendo. Now, you can build your own levels. I know this is the second game in the series but really its just the definitive edition of the game AND it's on Switch. So here's the premise of the game... Build your own Super Mario levels in 5 different game styles, play those levels with friends, and share those levels online. Hours of entertainment, online features such as challenges, co-op course, and builder rankings, and even a tiny story mode to get you in the mindset of building courses and the unique things you can build. This game is essentially minecraft meets Mario, you ...

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure takes place on three different fronts. The video game front we have indie game exclusive to the Nintendo Switch titled "Cadence of Hyrule", on the movie front we have a movie that should not exist titled "Toy Story 4", and on the music front we have the third Raconteurs album titled "Help Us Stranger". There is no news this week due all of the content released this week! So with all of that out of the way, let's get started! "Cadence of Hyrule" is an indie game from the studio that brought us "Crypt of the Necrodancer". It is a rhythm based RPG featuring characters from the Legend of Zelda series and the player is forced to move and attack to the beat of the music. As a percussionist, I thought this would be an easy experience but I was so wrong. It is extremely difficult to traverse the land while battling only moving to the beat. The issue is whe...

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week's adventure is featuring lots of trailers. E3 was this week so we got lots of new video game trailers so I will be doing an overview of each conference. Disney also dropped 2 trailers this week for upcoming films so I will include those as well. DISNEY! Pixar announced their next animated feature starring Tom Holland and Chris Pratt titled "Onward" and it seems to take place in a modern world where fairy tail creatures exist. I'm thinking Netflix's "Bright" but for a younger audience. I don't know enough about it to have an opinion but you can't go wrong with Pixar. Disney also dropped the actual trailer for "Frozen 2". This is the 2nd film in the "sequel era" of Disney films. I am not particularly excited for this era but it's happening and Frozen 2 does seem to be making the best of it. It looks like an adventure film where Elsa and the gang travel to ...
