S1 Ep. 26- Super Mario Maker 2

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 can literally build whatever you want and be as creative as you like. It's such a simple game idea and such a clean execution. I know it's a short episode this week but I don't really have much else to say about this near perfect game. It's such a glorious and simple idea that of course this is going on my ultimate shelf! It's already downloaded on the switch and will be staying there for hours of fun through the ages of the Nintendo Switch!

Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us deep into the walls and underneath the ground to the land of Fraggle Rock. But this isn't the first time we've been here, we remember this place from long ago and it's time to go back. A reboot of a series that ended in 1987 is just what Apple TV+ needs right? Let's find out! Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has 13 episodes in it's first season and it's just as charming as you remember. The muppets look as good as ever, the characters a charming, and the world building in this show is actually quite good! Each episode has a fun adventure with a pretty solid through line of exploring "outer space" which is just our world. There are some pretty great jokes that go along with this too. In the pilot episode one of the characters gets attacked by a dog, when telling his friends about it he says "I was attacked by the most vicious space monster" and it cuts to t...

S3 Finale: Top 10 Shows of 2021

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This year I added a new category to Thrak Attack's lineups of adventures. I've never been a big TV show follower but I felt like with the MCU adding TV shows and access to some new streaming services to my roster over quarantine that it was time to add those adventures in! So here is a Thrak Attack first, The Top 10 Shows of 2021! 10. Hawkeye on Disney+  is not a great mini series but has some great character introductions and moments for the MCU. Most importantly introducing Kate Bishop who will hopefully take up the mantle of Hawkeye, Yelena reconciling with Clint about Natasha's death in Endgame, and the reintroduction of a character from the Netflix Marvel shows!   9. The Shrink Next Door on Apple TV+ was a short and sweet show based on a podcast which is an interesting transition. Both Paul Rudd and Will Ferrel shine in this show showcasing both of their acting chops. The plot is pretty simple but is com...

S2 Finale- Top 10 Songs of 2020

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This year brought us a ton of music and great albums but sometimes a specific song transcends the album that it's on and sometimes artists release singles. So this is the list celebrating those gems on mediocre albums and singles artists have released throughout the year! Top 10 Songs of 2020 10. "When You Get That Feeling" by Nate Bo is a debut song from one of my good friends. It's a solid jam with an R&B vibe and wicked vibraphone solo. I used to play music with Nate in college and I'm glad to see him with a successful first song! I can't wait to see what's next for Nate in his career! 9. "Twice Your Size" by Declan McKenna is off his sophomore album titled "Zeros". Although the album suffered from production issues that muddied up the brilliant lyrics, this is the few songs that didn't suffer from that. The energy that this song brings to the table is exactly what t...
