The Crazy Train – Play Box Special
On this one hour episode of the Crazy Train I delved into our play box to give these bands who send physical copies of their albums to the station some love.
This is why it is important/helpful to send a physical copy of your album to as many of the college/community radio stations as you can, as many are in the same boat as we are and have not implemented a method to track/catalog/store digital files and albums. While we CAN play these file types and of course play music off of music websites like, Bandcamp, Soundcloud etc, we can just assure much more airplay having a physical copy of your album here at the station!
That being said! Here’s the playlist for this special edition of the Crazy Train:
Crazy Train – Ozzy| Gasoline – Dead City Angels| Light It Up – Lionsault| Loathing Denial – Enemy Designed| Bastard Idol – Rifium| Soul Hyperdrive – Shades of Sorrow| If History Has Taught Us Nothing – Orchid’s Curse| Bolshevik – Dischord| Vacuous Lexicon – Nihilo Machina| Fallen – The Muted Pitch| Evaporate – Chaos Theory| Killed By The Cross – Dark Shrine (partial)
Next weeks episode will also be a special one. For this two hour show, Johnny James ‘Dio’ will join me and we’ll go through our top 10 favorite Canadian Indie Metal releases for 2016. In Hour II, we’ll go through our 10 favorite global Metal releases for 2016! This will be the second last show of the year as Christmas Eve will be a repeat or possibly a pre-corded show, we’ll see how much time I have!
Upcoming shows:
Friday Dec 9th at the Capital is Saint John NB’s Rifium, The Wasteland Zombies and Fredericton’s I Monolith’s first show at the Capital! It’s an EARLY SHOW starts at 9PM! Only $5!!!

Watch Dogs 2 Review
Ubisoft brings us the sequel to the highly anticipated, over hyped, yet underwhelming Watch Dogs. Ubisoft released Watch Dogs 2 on November 15th. Announced back in June a week before E3, Ubisoft showed many videos on what the team did to improve the gameplay and the game mechanics in an attempt to earn the public’s trust back when it came to the Watch Dogs brand. Does Watch Dogs 2 become the Microsoft of the tech world, or does it remain a start-up company never becoming big enough to get out of the garage?
Story: Watch Dogs 2 takes place in San Francisco and its surrounding area. You play as Marcus Holloway a hacker originally from Oakland who resides in San Francisco. At the start of the game, you begin by going through a trial in order to join the Deadsec hacker group. Deadsec’s goal is to become the biggest hacker group out there, by exposing the truth about big tech companies as they take the data you enter from your emails, to tracking you in your everyday life. Putting a stop to that will get you followers, but your big target is Blume a company run by a Steve Jobs wannabe “Dušan Nemec”, who turns out to be very crooked with having all these companies in his pocket from politics to human trafficking. So its “Dušan Nemec” and Blume you want to take out and give the people their freedom back.
Gameplay: Watch Dogs 2 is a third person sandbox game. You explore the wonderful and very different area of San Francisco. Players get to experiences how techy San Francisco is in some of the missions, from hacking a camera to exploding a gas tank to kill one of your enemies. You have more gadgets in your arsenal rather than just a phone this time around; a remote RC jumper and a drone are at your disposal. The drone and jumper will help you during infiltration missions when you don’t want to be caught and go into combat. You can also sneak into places by taking out your enemies silently with a yo-yo, or go in guns’ blazing, which feels out of place in this game. I really feel Marcus should hack his way through everything. As you complete missions you gain followers, allowing for upgrades like vehicle hacking, combat skills, and RC and drone upgrades. This game is not just about the combat, it has some great puzzles to solve which at times can feel pressured because of a timer, but feels great when you accomplish them.
Graphics: The graphics in this game are well mixed; the character models and cars look fantastic, as does the scenery and main building structures. But it’s the NPC’s and environments that look like they belong on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Verdict: Watch Dogs 2 is a game that fixes almost all of the problems from the previous installment. It is a fun open world game, with great dynamic characters, great writing, and much better gameplay mechanics; it is definitely worth the pickup.
Watch Dogs 2: 8.5/10
Reviewed by ICE at Gamers of the Round Table.
Good job Ubisoft

RFYL Episode: GoCanadianEP46
Today on RFYL, we keep things Canadian and share a bunch of wicked Canadian artists with all of you. I discredit the Christmas Music Industry which is Totally A Thing and inform all of you (as I’m doing here) that there will be no annoying Christmas music on this show. Ever. So tune in and enjoy music that won’t drive you insane.
Maybe it will drive you insane, but only the good way.
A lot of the bands featured today have music videos out, new releases, have been charting, are playing shows or just happen to exist throughout Canada. You should give them the attention they deserve and love. If I didn’t like them, I wouldn’t play them. Proof of point!
