RFYL Episode: LetThemKnowEP45

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks
In today’s episode, I feature a bunch of songs that recently got some new music videos! Also, Anyone’s Guess released a brand new song just today that you can get on apple media. Go pick it up – it’s solid!

We talk about a lot of bands going on tour, who they were with, and probably get a lot of information wrong. The tunes are good, I share my inspiration, and the reason for playing all the stuff I do every week.

If you have a song that would fit this show, by all means contact me at RunForYourLifeCHSR [at] gmail [dot] com or RFYLMatt on Twitter!

Lego Dimensions Review

lego-dimensions

Warner Brothers brings out another Lego game but with a huge twist. Does it prevail or get stuck in a time loop? Let’s find out.

Story: Warner Brothers brings us Lego Dimensions, a game that features iconic pop culture, movie, TV, and video game characters by putting them all into one game where there paths cross and the must work together. You start off with the starter pack of characters that include Batman, Gandalf (Lord of the Rings), Wyldstyle (Lego Movie), and Supergirl (bonus on the ps4). These characters join together to stop Lord Vortech from merging all of the universes for him to control. You must build the portal with actual Lego pieces and place the four characters on the on the holders and then putting the holders on the portal platform which makes the characters appear in the game.

Gameplay: This is not your typical Lego game; with other Lego games you are stuck in one universe, with Lego Dimensions you start each level by jumping into a vortex taking you to a famous level inspired by movies, television or video games such as The Wizard of Oz, The Simpsons (Which blew my mind), Back to the Future and so much more. With every level, there seemed to be a pattern of solving puzzles with certain characters, a boss fight at the end of the level, but the game forces you to utilize the portal to solve puzzles and defeat bosses. The only thing that really bugged me about this game was the hire a hero aspect, where in order to get a collectible or to do a certain action you have to spend 50,000 Lego pieces to hire a hero for only a minute which is really unfortunate.

Verdict: Lego Dimensions is a game I anticipated to grow tired of very quickly, but it was extremely enjoyable; the gameplay, dialogue, and humor that came with it especially in each universe like the Simpsons and Back to the Future made this a uniquely enjoyable game. The fun does not end there: Adventure Time, Ghost Busters, Mission Impossible and Scooby Doo are just some of the worlds that players can experience through Lego Dimensions. This game is not just for kids but for all ages, so that they can visit the worlds they grew up with and, it has me hooked.

Lego Dimensions 9.5/10
A must buy.

The Lunchbox Interview: Luke Bailey (FestForward)

lunchbox2016-festforwardAnyone who’s “made it” in a field will usually talk about the people who helped them along the way, at random. Wouldn’t it be nice to make that less random?

My guest today is Luke Bailey, one of the organizers (and past participant) in the FestForward musician’s weekend event. The event seeks to provide practical experience and stage time to up-and-coming musicians and bands to give them skills, practice and networking to help them achieve the next level in their pursuit of performance.

FestForward takes place on November 18 and 19 of 2016. Two feature concerts take place at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre each night, where the participants and special guests get to really show off their music.

Is Watch Dogs 2 in trouble before its release?

watch-dogs-2

Watch Dogs 2’s multiplayer seems to not be working, with no knowledge on when the multiplayer will be functional; just a day before the launch of Watch Dogs 2. There currently is an in-game notice stating that the features are causing the game to lag and crash, so the multiplayer features have been disabled until the problem is fixed. Eurogamer reports that an Ubisoft spokesperson said that Ubisoft is confident that there will be no problem for launch day players.

My opinion: Ok this is a huge problem from a journalistic standpoint and bad marketing if an aspect if the game is not working and, it is making the game lag and crash that is a problem that is sending out a broken game. No one wants to go out and spend 90$ on a game that does not work and has bug issues and stability issues, so let’s hope this is fixed and resolved quickly.
