S2 Ep. 12- December

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack! What's your adventure? This month brought only a few adventures but they were some big ones! It's the last month of the year so this will be the last episode until next Thursday's Top 10 of the year! Get ready for it! But we have to log these last few adventures before we do! So here we go, December!


Top 5 of December!

Godmothered | Disney+ Originals

5. Godmothered on Disney+ is a cheesy movie that takes a spin on the magical movie genre. It's a good premise for a fun movie but it was not a good execution. I think the cast was good and plot was decent but the film just didn't go anywhere.

What Is This Entire Cyberpunk 2077 Debacle All About? | The Mary Sue

4. Cyberpunk 2077 had a rough launch. I heard a lot of issues that were happening but I didn't experience them, or so I thought. I was only about 2 hours into the game and was it was going fine until I was having trouble getting through a simple section of the game and it was taking 5 head shots to take down an enemy. I don't know if its the bugs or if it's me being terrible at shooters but I don't know else to get through the game. Hopefully I'll get past this section and figure it out so I can continue on with the game!

Taylor Swift: evermore Album Review | Pitchfork

3. "Evermore" by Taylor Swift is the second album by Taylor in 2020. I enjoy this one much more than the first but I am biased because it features one of my favorite artists of the year. HAIM is featured in "No Body, No Crime" and is the best song on the album. Other notable tracks include "Tis' the Damn Season" and "Happiness". 

Immortals Fenyx Rising on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, PC & More | Ubisoft (GB)

2. Immortals: Fenyx Rising on the Switch is a funny, adventurous, and beautifully crafted game. The premise and narration is fantastic, the open world is vast and detailed, the art style is stunning, and the puzzles are fun! Unfortunately, it's made by Ubisoft and they try to nickel and dime you at every turn. I already paid $60 for the game! Why would I pay more to get things that are in the game. Seems pretty lame to me but that's the nature of games now. 

Paul McCartney 'McCartney III' Review

1. "McCartney III" by Paul McCartney is a fantastic album from a legendary artist. Every time you think this man has tapped all of his creative energy he puts out another fantastic album with a new sound! The style of the music throughout is cohesive but never old. I love how the Winter Bird songs bookend the album but the real highlight is the 8 minute "Deep Deep Feeling". It's a fantastic song with a great chorus that repeats in a swirling mixture of styles and emotions. Also, it has the best album artwork of the year.

"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...

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...

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...
