S1 Ep. 34- Tool and Pokemon

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This week I have two quick adventures but trailers and a lot of news so let's get started!

Trailers- The Rise of Skywalker trailer gives me hope for the end of the series. It really allows the series to come to a complete close and I hope it does. No more Star Wars... for a while. Next the new Joker trailer shows off a movie that should not exist. The point of the joker is that we don't know anything about him, so giving us an origin story takes away from his character.

NEWS!
-The fastest/tallest/longest rollercoaster has been announced for a Six Flags in Saudi Arabia.
-Rick Astley rick rolls an entire Foo Fighters concert by playing "Never gonna give you up" with the band.
-TSA bans "thermal detonator" coke bottles from Galaxy's Edge.
-Walt Disney World releases the logo for the 50th anniversary celebration.
-90's classic video games "Lion King" and "Aladdin" are coming to current gen consoles.

Tool- Fear Inoculum

This is the first tool album in 13 years and the first time the band's music has been released originally on a streaming platform. The band has long been holding out and I think it was for this moment. Wait 3 weeks before the new album drops, post your old music on streaming services, and then drop a new album. This album is good but I still need more time with it to do a full review. Although Chocolate Chip Trip is phenomenal that leads right into 7emptest.

Pokemon Masters

A new pokemon game for iOS and Android has released and it's a great concept for a game. Finally we have emphasis on the characters and not the pokemon. The pokemon franchise has lots of characters and this game celebrates them all. With a 3 way battle structure and legendary characters with their signature pokemon, the game feels very much like a good direction for the brand. I know some people are already hating on this game but from what I played, I really enjoy it!

Well that's all the time I have today, I know its a short one but next will be a LONG post all about my travels around Europe!.....

"Covers" by Cat Power

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This adventure takes us to many genres of music covered by Cat Power! From Iggy Pop to Lana Del Rey to Billie Holiday, this album takes to many genres but somehow feels stale through Cat Power's style.  I knew this was a cover album and was excited to hear all the different songs sung in a new style. Unfortunately these songs are more than just the surface songs and singles. These are lesser known songs from big artists. I loved trying to guess who's song it was and then looking it up afterwards. Even though the artists she covers are from all sorts of genres this album is such a drag to listen to. The 12 songs slog on for 43 minutes and never feel like it's going anywhere. It's like she took the personality from the different artists but not any of the passion. I felt very bored listening to the songs. Two of the songs did make it onto my 2022 playlist including "Pa Pa Power" and "White Mustang...

Astroneer

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? Today takes us to many distant planets and worlds in a video game of exploring. Astroneer is a game originally released on early access in 2016 and was officially released in 2019 on Windows and the Xbox One and officially released on the Nintendo Switch today. The game focuses on exploration of new worlds and it is a joy! Unfortunately this is a terrible port and I know this because the reviews upon initial release were very positive.  Astroneer on the Nintendo Switch is a port from Windows and Xbox One in 2019. I know that this game works on a controller because it was on the Xbox, but for whatever reason I can't get out of the first section. I don't know if the button mapping is off, or if the way it was built on PC really doesn't translate to a controller, or if I'm just an idiot! But this game does not work on a controller. The visuals are great and are a cross between Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker and Min...

Hotel Transylvania 4: Transformania

  Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? Today's adventure takes us to the amazon rainforest on a quest for a crystal to change humans into monsters and monsters into humans. In the 4th installment of this weirdly long running series that is the plot! Does it make sense? Is it enjoyable to watch? Are there some redeeming qualities to this series that went from theater releases to straight to streaming? We shall see. Like I said before this is the fourth installment to the Hotel Transylvania series and I did not realize it was successful enough to make a fourth one. However, the first three were theatrical releases and this time around it was released only on Amazon Prime. Due to this, Adam Sandler is no longer the voice of the lead character Dracula but instead goes to Brian Hull who has mainly done voice acting for the Pup Star series, Tangled: the Series, and a Hotel Transylvania short film.  There is something going for this movie though mainly that the cast i...
