March 2022

 Welcome back to Thrak Attack, what's your adventure? I am sorry I have been absent, there's been a lot going on. But we're back to the old schedule. In order to catch you guys up. we're going to do a Top 10 list of all of the releases in march. There is an entry of every category too which is nice! So let's not wait any longer and get started on the Top 10 adventures of March 2022!


10. "Mainstream Sellout" by Machine Gun Kelly is not a great album but I think it's aware of that enough to make it not a terrible album. I really loved "Tickets to my Downfall" but this one just feels too much of the same for it to stick with me.

9. "Crash" by CharliXCX should have been a great album but it is plagued with over production of some songs and underproduction of others. It also features a very blatant use of plagiarism in the form of the song "Beg for You" which is exactly the same as September's "Cry For You".

8. "Human Resources" is a spinoff of the raunchy Netflix series "Big Mouth". Like what was promised it is a mix between that show and the office and features some new characters and some familiar faces. It's not the best show but it is an enjoyable one.

7. "Triangle Strategy" is a great strategy game for the Nintendo Switch buried under mountains of text and useless story. I found the gameplay fun and enjoyable but that was after reading entire novels to get to it. I also recently played a better version of this game called "Fire Emblem: Three Houses".

6. Turning Red is a coming of age comedy that shines brightly but for me misses the mark. The only reason why I didn't love it was because it wasn't a film made for me. It's a great film but I am not the target audience.

5. Gran Tourismo 7 was going to be higher on this list due to the amazing graphics, gameplay, and simplicity. Unfortunately a recent update of the game adds more pay to play and in game purchases which devalues the game and makes me not want to step back into it as often as I should.

4. The Adam Project is another Netflix release this month and this one is fantastic! The stellar cast mixed with great music, characters, and concept. There is some really great moments in this movie but it has too many themes that the message of the story gets lost.

3. Bridgerton (Season 2) is so far the best show of the year. I regret not watching Season 1 but I am glad that my wife talked me into watching this. The characters are well written, there several plotlines that keep you engaged, and the music is fantastic!

2. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the most fun I've had with a game so far this year. It's just so charming and silly. The only thing this game lacks is playtime because I beat it in a week. This could be a positive for some but I wanted a little more out of Kirby's first 3D game!

1. Alaska was our honeymoon and boy was it amazing! The best salmon I've ever had, a beautiful stay the Hotel Captain Cook, Midnight Sun Brewing, Blackstone Glacier tour, and the Northern lights all made it an unforgettable trip!

"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...
