TEM Ep 4: Halloween Episode ft. coda interview!
I am AD Springer, your musical tour guide to all things future funk, chiptune, synthpop, and other reach out and grab you music in the electronica sphere on The Electric Metropolis. Come tour the city of sound with me from around the world! On this tour you will hear the dark alleyways that stretch forever in all directions, followed by the bright shining lights that make The Electric Metropolis the great city of sound it is! Near the end you will also hear an interview with coda, the composer of Omega Strike Original Soundtrack and many other great albums you should check out!
Featuring songs from Church of Trees’ album Primitive Creatures; coda’s Omega Strike; and Lazy Nerd 204’s Ontario Pheonetix and many others! In the darkness you will hear the soul, sorrow, and seething anger hidden deep in the city and in the light see all the hopes and dreams you could ever hope for rise above for all to see!
The first stop features a stop at the future funkiness of Desired followed by some alleyway skulking where few tread. After that we will see about battling our way out and finding the bright lights that bring us to the highest of the eternal urban nightscape.

The Lunchbox Interview: Joe, Brett & Conner (Theatre UNB’s “Criminals In Love”)
The text of a play contains a lot of material to interpret, highlight, focus and transform before it goes on stage; that’s probably why they call it a production.
My guests today are three of the people responsible for the upcoming Theatre UNB production of George F. Walker’s Criminals In Love. Joe is taking his turn as the Director, after having acted in the previous George F. Walker production as the lead character. Brett joins the play as the actor playing the lead character’s father. Conner will be seen pressing buttons in the dark as the Technical Director. They join me to talk about how this play has come together, and what it’s like for each of them to contribute to the collective creation.
Criminals In Love shows at UNB’s Memorial Hall from November 1 to November 4, 7:30pm nightly. Tickets are $14 for regular tickets, $10 for seniors/the underwaged or $8 for students.

The Lunchbox Interview: Stage Manager Melissa (Theatre UNB’s “Criminals In Love”)
The stage, the lights, the set, the actors: we can be mistaken and think that everything we see at a play is all that there is, but there’s much more going on behind the scenes…
My guest today is Melissa, the stage manager in the upcoming Theatre UNB production of George F. Walker’s Criminals In Love. Melissa is working on her last production as a student with Theatre UNB, a situation filled with excitement and some sadness. We talk about working furiously behind the scenes to build the movements, set and structure which carries the play to the audience.
Criminals In Love shows at UNB’s Memorial Hall from November 1 to November 4, 7:30pm nightly. Tickets are $14 for regular tickets, $10 for seniors/the underwaged or $8 for students.

ParaPhrasing – Beautiful Haired Beast: A Tim Peeler Story
Big. Hairy. And… beautiful?
What if we told you a North Carolinain mountain man, Tim Peeler, claims to have seen Bigfoot. Now, what if we add in that Mr. Peeler claims Bigfoot came back for a second time. How about if we tell you that Mr. Peeler had a physical altercation with Bigfoot!
Listen in while Marvin, John and Erin discuss the specifics of this case, play you the actual 911 phone call and Fox News television report, then learn that this isn’t the first time a cryptid like Sasquatch has been reported in the area!
In the last section of the episode the three PROF members debate whether Sasquatch is even real, or biologically even could be real.

Alex plays the lead character, Junior, who turns to his love, Gail (played by Jillian) to get him out of trouble.

The Lunchbox Interview: Rachel (#GirlsBelongHere)
One of the most important things that can be given to a human being is opportunity, and one of the most tragic failings is inequality.

She was granted the opportunity to step into the shoes of a dream job through Plan Canada‘s #GirlsBelongHere campaign, which seeks to empower young women and provide them with support and encouragement, and combat inequality.

I am AD Springer, your musical tour guide to all things future funk, chiptune, synthpop, and other reach out and grab you music in the electronica sphere on The Electric Metropolis. Come tour the city of sound with me from around the world! On this tour you will hear some hard chips, some soft chips, and all that resides in between. I like’em both, I think -at least this time- you will too. Though don’t forget there is always a bit of party time left on the tour.
Featuring songs from Louie Aronwitz’s album Thrashlevania; coda’s Cloudtop Mountain; and The Midnight’s Nocturnal and many others! This is the sort of music that clubs and bars of the future will rock out and lounge to. These are the songs that will get your heart pumping and put your mind at ease.
The chips are such tiny things that can disappear into the palm of your hand; but with a few complex commands, the world of sound opens up and crafts a city sprawl so wide that the tour will always hear fresh sounds and new vistas every night all night. So come with me, grab some chips, and let us see if we can make this city a bit bigger. Though first, let’s tour about a while.

South Park Review
The potty mouth 4th graders, Cartman, Kyle, Stan & Kenny are back. Matt Stone and Trey Parker bring us another adventure in the video game world rather than on the small screen. Does the new installment in this franchise hold up as well of the first one? Let us find out.
South Park the fracture but whole picks up right where the first one left off. You are still playing the middle age’s game for about five minutes, during this time it will give you a quick over view of the new combat system. At the end of those five minutes, you run in to Cartman, who has switched games to superheroes. Once the game switches over, you start at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to your popularity. You will then have the story of the game explained to you; you are looking for missing cats in
South Park in order for a reward so you can fund your super hero franchise. There is two sides of the super heroes, the coon and friends & the freedom pals who are in a civil war. In the story line, they are making fun of the marvel cinematic universe. As you progress through the story you find out there is more to it than just finding the cats for a reward there is a darker side to it than just what meets the eye.
The Game Play in South Park is just about the same as the first installment but a little bit more in depth, especially when it comes to the combat. This time you move along a certain amount of spaces along a grid to reach your target. Each move you do has a different range of attack, which adds a nice variety to the combat. Don’t worry about going in alone it never happens. On your side you can have up to three different sidekicks like The Coon, Captain Diabetes, The Human Kite, Mosquito and much more. Each of them offering their unique abilities to help you on your journey throughout South Park. A few of the new additions to the game play is crafting, you can build costumes, consumables and more. Throughout your adventure, you will pick up artifacts, which gives you more strength for your attacks it is highly recommended especially towards the end of the game when you need a might of 500 for some missions otherwise you will have a difficult time completing these missions. South Park is a mix of open world; turn base combat, RPG game. When you are travelling through the world you will run in to characters who will assign side missions to you this will help you get new artifacts and level up.
South Park the Fractured But whole is a proper and wonderful sequel, keeping the humor of the show, adding more to the combat and exploration. I loved by 18 hours of game play I completed the story was able to complete all the side missions except for two of them and get all the collectibles & I hope a third one comes out this is one title you don’t want to miss this year.
Score: 9/10
