Warriors Orochi - a new samurai challange

Tocmai ce m-am dezlipit de PSP, pe care mi-am pus de curand Warriors Orochi, un joc care m-a prins asa cum m-a prins si tatal lui - Samurai Warriors. Un joc excelent cu un gameplay foarte bun si cu un story pe care nu l-am descoperit inca in intregime. In cele ce urmeaza, o scurta descriere a jocului culeasa de pe gamespy, cateva screen-uri si concept-art-uri si vreo doua filmulete. enjoy!


Warriors Orochi (intro)


Warriors Orochi Trailer for PSP


"Warriors Orochi is a crossover of two historical action epics, Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors. In the game, Orochi the king of demons has merged together in time the Sengoku and Sangokushi periods in an attempt at world domination. The heroes of both Dynasty and Samurai Warriors must now fight together to defeat Orochi and his demon followers.

In addition to generals from both franchises, totalling over 70 playable characters in all, Warriors Orochi adds a new feature to gameplay: team battles with up to three team members. You can switch off between the three members as you take on the hundreds of enemies that line the fields and castles of the strange world created by the Orochi." - gamespy









"The best thing that we can say about Warriors Orochi from the get-go is that it's pretty much everything that you'd expect. If you're not a fan of Koei's hack n' slash action games set in feudal Asian countries, we're not exactly sure what to tell you besides...it's Dynasty Warriors meets Samurai Warriors. For those of you who are fans of the series -- obviously, you're out there, since the games are always popular on traffic metrics on every gaming site, and we still get the occasional flame mail for some of our more scathing reviews of Dynasty Warriors' myriad sequels and spin-offs-- this is fan service on a level that may make your head explode. We got our first hands-on with the Xbox 360 version of the game at Koei's press event, and the PS2 version later that night, and frankly, we can't say much more than "it is what it is."

The game's title comes from the powerful serpent king Orochi, who has come to Earth and kidnapped the best and brightest warriors from China and Japan to test his skills against them. He has smitten most of them, but the fiercest combatants, who largely consist of characters from past installments of the games, are still around to beat him down. The action will take place in four scenarios, consisting of eight to ten branching stages. Three stages will take place in ancient Chinese kingdoms, and one will take place in the Samurai Warriors universe. You'll pick warriors from the Wu, Wei, and Shu Kingdoms, as well as combatants from both Samurai Warriors games.

Visually, the game looks, well, as good as the series can on PS2. It's a franchise that peaked out a while ago on the hardware, and really, at this point, it's the experience that likely counts the most for millions and millions of PS2 owners. On the Xbox 360, it's pretty much like the other 360 ports of Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors: overall, it looks like a much prettier version of the PS2 games. That's not to say that either game looks bad, however. The visuals of the 360 show off a lot of detail in the faces of each warrior, and again, the PS2 version is pretty much at the zenith of how it can look on that platform. Of course, it's a little tougher to look at after the unveiling of Dynasty Warriors 6 at Koei's event, which looks like a truly next-gen Warriors experience.

Warriors Orochi looks like it's exactly what it sets out to be: a title that fuses the best of Dynasty Warriors with the best of Samurai Warriors in the name of a little hack, a little slash, and a whole lot of kicking ass. If you're a fan of these seemingly indefatigable games, there will probably be nothing to stop you from picking this one up save for the fact that we're two months out from its release. It adds the ability to switch between three characters, the ability to fuse the best of your weapons to hone a more solid instrument of destruction, and you'll have nearly forty stages of non-stop button-mashing to keep you happy. The series' harshest critics might not find something to warm their hearts here, but the hardcore fans of the games will undoubtedly not care." - gamespy





Ten masked men - Death Metal si bascalie

I-am gasit pe baietii astia si mi s-au parut fun mai ales pentru fanii genului. Ia priviti voi ce fac baietii astia:

Ten Masked Men - Gangster's Paradise


"Ten Masked Men is a British death metal cover band who specialize in covering pop songs. The band was formed in 1996 when Mark ("The Mauler") and Dave ("The Chef") Hutson did a cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall" to annoy a friend. The song was much the same as the original, except it was played with distorted guitars and death metal grunts. It was recorded on a 4-track in a bedroom and was soon followed by "Stayin' Alive", "Into the Groove" and "Beat It". These simple recordings were played to friends and in some clubs, and became increasingly popular.[citation needed] There was still no band name at that time but the moniker Ten Masked Men was adopted after hearing a news broadcast about masked terrorists.[citation needed] In addition the band adopted wearing masks as it was felt that a masked appearance would fit in well with the idea of playing covers.[citation needed]

In 1999 the first CD, Ten Masked Men, was recorded and was given out free in their local club.[citation needed] It was evident that the music was becoming notorious and so the CD started circulating in top London clubs.[citation needed] A five-track EP was recorded later that year and Star Wars references came into play with the name The Ten Masked Men Strike Back, which was swiftly followed up with the second full-length CD Return of the Ten Masked Men in 2000.

It was three years until the next CD was recorded, entitled The PhanTen Masked Menace. A new full-length album is due early 2008, entitled Attack Of The Ten Masked Men.

The band appeared on Channel 4 television in the UK on the late night show Born Sloppy, where special guest Jack Osborne had to guess the name of the tune that Ten Masked Men had just played. Due to legal issues the band were only allowed to play 30 seconds of each song, which were "Livin' La Vida Loca", "...Baby One More Time" and "Push It". The band also played live on the XFM breakfast show after winning a competition to appear on the B-side of UK Indie band Ash's rare "I’m On Drugs" vinyl." - wikipedia

"Ten Masked Men have covered songs ranging from Frank Sinatra, to 1980s hits like Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer", and modern hits such as "Seven Days" by Craig David and "Something Kinda Ooooh" by Girls Aloud. Each album also features a song from the soundtrack to one of the James Bond movies." - wikipedia

The Residents - Gingerbread Man


Va propun aceasta piesa de capatai pentru aceasta mohorata zi de joi. O sa va faca mare placere sa o ascultati sau sa o reascultati, si sa consideram asta ca o revenire de-a mea in forta pe propriu-mi blog.


The Residents - Gingerbread Man



The Residents - Gingerbread Man (audio)


The Residents is an American avant-garde music and visual arts collective who have created over sixty albums, created numerous musical short films, designed three CD-ROM projects and ten DVDs, and undertaken six major world tours. Throughout their career, spanning nearly four decades, they have maintained complete anonymity. All public relations, interviews and promotions are handled by their spokesgroup, The Cryptic Corporation.

Because of the band's wish to preserve anonymity, it is difficult if not impossible to compile a history that is complete and accurate as far as hard facts are concerned. This, together with the obscure nature of the band, makes The Residents' history more a question of lore than biography. The facts that do exist are primarily their recordings and shows, but of the process that led to the creation of them knowledge and fact is scarce. Therefore the history of the band as it is portrayed in this article is based on what is known, not what is necessarily true, and it should be judged with that in mind. The only reliable sources are their albums, shows and products; all else is either speculation, lore among fans or information (or disinformation) from The Cryptic Corporation.

The Residents supposedly hail from Shreveport, Louisiana, where they met in high school in the 1960s. In 1966, members headed west to San Francisco, California. After their truck broke down in San Mateo, they decided to remain there. Like all information pertaining to the early days of the band, this is provided by The Cryptic Corporation and may or may not be invented.

While attempting to make a living, they began to experiment with tape machines, photography, and anything remotely to do with "art" that they could get their hands on. Word of their experimentation spread and in 1969, a British guitarist and multi-instrumentalist named Philip Lithman and the mysterious N. Senada (whom Lithman had picked up in Bavaria where the aged avant-gardist was recording birds singing) paid them a visit, and decided to remain.

The two Europeans would become great influences on the band. Lithman's guitar playing technique earned him the nickname Snakefinger, a nickname he got after his frantic playing on the violin during the performance with The Residents at The Boarding House in San Francisco 1971, where his fingers' speed made them look like snakes in the eyes of the less-musically proficient but imaginative Residents. It is also stated that one of The Residents took a snapshot of Lithman's fingers, during which they resembled the insignia of the hammer and sickle, earning him the nickname Comradefinger, a nickname which did not prevail.

The group purchased crude recording equipment and instruments and began to make tapes, refusing to let an almost complete lack of musical proficiency stand in the way. - wikipedia
