God of War Review.
God of War is nothing short of a masterpiece when it comes to video games. Everything in this game leaves a huge impression on me, this includes, game play, writing, graphics, story, character progression and everything else on the table.
Kratos makes his return on the ps4 this time; we have not seen him since God of War ascension back in 2013. Set in the Norse mythology instead of Greek mythology, with the past catching up to Kratos just as his wife has passed away and his son still at a young age. He decides it is time for his son to learn how to survive in his brutal world. Filled with monsters, giants, ogres and trolls, while Kratos is stern with his son he is also sensitive to him as well almost giving him a human side to him instead of making him the one-dimensional character we have seen over the past decade. The way these two characters interact with each other is incredible the only thing I can compare it to is The Last of Us. Kratos acts like a tough father but when it comes to certain things in the story, you can see the emotion in his eyes and hear it in his voice, which is something we rarely see in the world of video games especially in God of War games. With Atreus, he has the accurate traits of a child his age asking questions about the world, questioning the love of his father and a bit of attitude when it comes to certain subjects in the story. These are the human traits, that we want to see more often in video games.
The combat does a 180-degree turn when you compare the combat systems of the older games to the new one. In the new game, you are carrying an axe that just destroys anything its blade touches. As you progress through the game, you will get experience points so that you can unlock new moves with the axe, and as you level up you need to collect certain resources either in chests or off dead enemies, to upgrade your weapon to the next level. Progressing through the game, you run in to a blacksmith named Brok and his brother who can help you make things, like chest & wrist armor for you and Atreus but once again, to upgrade them you have to have certain resources and enough silver.
The world in God of War is open but it is not open at the same time. I know what you are thinking how does this work? you can be in a area that is quite open and has many different paths, but it all leads to somewhere whether it be a chest, a mini boss fight to get an element for a piece of gear, or upgrade it, it all leads somewhere.
Everything that happens in God of War left me wanting more of the series, some moments left me speechless, sad, and angry and in some cases even happy. I have only played one game like this in my entire life, The Last of Us and God of War is no exception of how spectacular it is. This so far is my game of the year so far.
God of War 10/10 a Perfect Score
Good job Sony Santa Monica and Playstation.

Sometimes, it’s just hard to come up with a theme for a show. There’s just nothing going on today that’s worth trying to string episodes together to make a narrative. So, today, we’re just going to enjoy some chill-out tunes that take us to far-out places, helping us expand our mind and definitely take us away from the anchors of life.
Too bad there’s no theme though.

Amanda Jackson Trio LIVE April 26, 2018 in The Hollywood STAR ROOM
We first got to know Amanda Jackson through PEI’s Bad Habits, but in July 2017 she released “Fire in the Blue” under The Amanda Jackson Band. Being their first studio album they’re already becoming the talk of the town and picked up the 2018 Urban Music PEI Recording of the Year earlier this year.
Listen in while Bondo and Amanda chat about her upcoming tour (including a stop in The Hollywood STAR ROOM), what’s it’s like stepping out from behind a band name, and even get a couple 2018 Harvest Jazz and Blues exclusives.

I am AD Springer, your musical tour guide, and I want to tell you a story; a story of a city so beautiful and wide. Where dreams are remembered and trust can be found. You can travel through the city and find computer love while killing time while looking up for the northern lights. A place where your heart can return to bounds from the great void and power up amidst the lights and sound of a city full of such wonderful sounds. It is here you can be intimate as the city is bathed in sunshine while viewing the test flights off of bliss port. Indeed, this is a city where you can know the lifebeat of a lilium and know that this is where you can find a field from which you wish to rise from as spiders dance their deadly dance. For all the many-fold wonders of the city, you can always find a way to stay human. This is The Electric Metropolis, come by for a visit while you can!

A fine cup of coffee is a moment of serenity, a work of art, a real craft.
My guest today is Remy MacFarlane, here to talk about a new adventure into the world of specialty coffee roasting. Freddy Bean Roasters is growing from an idea and a hobby into a regular staple of the Cultural Market every Saturday. Remy and I chat about the involved process of infusing selected coffee beans with the smoky flavour of a bourbon-soaked oak barrel, and his own journey infusing his life with coffee.

Art seems often to be the act of combining things together to create something with new meaning, making reflections both of the material and the viewer, of transforming things that everyone knows into something no one ever knew before..
My guest today is Bruce Gray, an artist who has explored the use of wood, stone, glass and fossils to create works of long-lasting sculpture resembling furniture. He joined me to talk about his efforts to combine these elements together to make his creations, from a rock that becomes the brain of a sculpture to an enormous burl table where no one is at the head.
Bruce Gray’s exhibit, Origins, joins Barbara Safran de Niverville’s Primordial Encounter at the UNB Art Centre. The exhibit opens on Friday, April 13 at 5pm and is on display until May 18. The Fredericton Jazz Collective will be playing at the opening as well.
