Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilots

Song of The Month!

Stressed Out

by Twenty One Pilots

I first heard of Twenty One Pilots last year, which is sad, really. I wish I'd known them earlier. They're music is amazing! They only have two members; Tyler Joseph, who is the lead vocals, pianist and songwriter (among other things - the dude is insanely talented!) and Josh Dun, who plays drums (and reminds me of Jon Bernthal). The band was formed in 2009 and currently have four albums out, one of which only came out in May this year.

This song is from their newest album, Blurryface. This is a brilliant song from a brilliant album, which I think everyone should check out. Anyway, if you wanna buy the album, you can buy it on iTunes here.

Sorry for so few posts this month again and hopefully the Dwarf will be able to post again some day soon.

Flashback Friday

Flashback Friday!

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

Hey guys! Flashback Friday time, today I will be writing about Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. This here is a game and a half, an absolute classic! This game was the beginning of the Oddworld series. The original Abe's Oddysee came out in 1997 on the PS1 and PC, a series that sadly have not made many games lately. Their HD re-make of Abe's Oddysee - Abe's New and Tasty - came out late last year and truly does live up to the original game standards. It was kept mostly the same, but they added some new features, which make the game a little easier to play. One of these are a check point system. Although this may take away from the over all difficultly of the game itself, it makes the game more enjoyable to play and you're less likely to rage quit after dying over and over again on that one hard part you can't get past because you need to keep re-starting the entire level, which in my opinion makes the game a lot better.

In this game you play as Abe, a floor-waxer at RaptureFarms - a meat processing factory, which is losing money, because all their products are going extinct. This is where Abe's boss "Mullock the Gulkkon" comes up with the idea to turn Abe's fellow Mudokon slaves into tasty treats, in a last-ditch effort to save his dying company. Abe over hears this, and after receiving a vision  from "Big Face" (actual name, no joke), he goes on a mission to save the Mudokons and the other life forms on the world. After venturing through some rather hardcore levels, you eventually get to the boss level, where you finally get to fight Mullock.
