The Lunchbox Interview: Sarah Beth Shiplett (MOTH Bedtime Stories) & Panda Bee Catastrophe [FULL EPISODE]

LunchBox-MOTHBedtimeStories-PandaBeeCatastropheWe are the stories we tell ourselves — and our kids. Let’s make them good ones!

A very full episode today, with two interviews!

First up, Sarah Beth Shiplett from UNB’s Music on the Hill joins me to talk about the last show of their season, a multimedia performance Bedtime Stories. It combines children’s books produced through UNB’s Early Education program with music, animation and live reading. The show comes up on this Sunday, April 17 at 2pm at Memorial Hall. We also take a brief glimpse at next year’s program.

And then I’m joined by Sarah and Flynn of Panda Bee Catastrophe, a local band with a political and social motivation. We chatted about how the band came to be, the upcoming 420 Fundraiser show, and their efforts to crowdfund their first album.

The Lunchbox Interview: Whoop-Szo [FULL EPISODE]

LunchBox-WhoopSzoWhat does “experimental music” mean to you?

Music is an ever-changing medium, an incredibly diverse set of tools to create expressions that have never been heard before, but which might either resemble the past or re-invent it. My guests today are Adam and Kiersten from Whoop-Szo. They’re artists-in-residence for the upcoming Flourish festival, and about to experience four days of music integration at the Greville Music Tapes Club. We talked experimental music, the reflection of the changing project, the meaning of some of their music and the use of music to outreach to aboriginal people.

Catch Whoop-Szo at the Capital on April 14 at 9:30pm, or during the Flourish Festival.

Music today:

  • Minotaur with the song Stayed Too Long from their album Weird Waves.
  • I played two tracks from Whoop-Szo‘s 2014 release, Niizhwaaswo: myeengun and Niizhwaaswi.

The Lunchbox Interview: QWERTY Reads [FULL SHOW]

LunchBox-QwertyReads2What does it take to write?

There are many paths to writing. Some just do it, and hope that their experience tells them enough to make the words work. Others go the academic route, intensely learning all about the structure and practice of writing and then throw their words through these filters.

My guests today are Alex and Steve, two MA students at UNB who are also story editors with QWERTY Magazine, a literary magazine with long history produced at UNB. They’re here to talk about the upcoming QWERTY Reads event at the Wilser’s Room on Thursday, April 14 at 7:30pm — but we end up talking a lot about the process of earning your MA, where academic writing meets creative passion, and different routes to producing your masterpiece.

Music today:

  • The gravelly-voiced troubadour Al Lukas reminds us that sometimes, we need to do before we overthink ourselves, with Don’t Think Twice from the album Matches.
  • Love can be expressed by payin’ the bills in beautiful ways, or so sing Ariel Sharratt & Matthias Kom with their song Every Song I Sing Is For You from their album Don’t Believe The Hyperreal.
  • And appropros of nothing, great people are cool, so She’s Cool is for all the great women out there. (By Jordan Patterson from his album The Back On Track Recording Project.)

MLB 16 The Show Review

MLB 16 The Show Review

The Show is back for another installment but it was my first introduction in to the beloved sports franchise. Going in to The Show I had no idea what to expect but this game pleasantly surprised me. Once I started playing i could not put the controller down I wouldint end my gameplay sessions till late hours in the night. I loved playing as my created character in the Road To The Show Mode rising through the minors of AA,AAA and getting through to the majors and playing for the Toronto Blue Jays. In the Road to the show I felt like I was the one who took on the responsibility of carrying my team to win. When I hit well my team did well if I missed one play on the field the other team would score alot of runs.
The Graphics were another thing on this that really amazed me on this game. It was the best graphics I have seen in a Base Ball game to date. What took some getting use to was the swing timing but after a while I was able to get the hang of it.

If your a baseball fan then this game is the game for you!!!.
On my rating scale this is a GO OUT AND GET IT NOW!!! kind of game

Interview: Double Experience

2016-04-06 DoubleExperience InterviewYou like video games? Tonnes of great games are being published every year now.

Like science fiction or comics? Superhero movies and televisions shows, science fiction games and comic books are all the rage, and it’s cool to like them.

It’s a good time to be a nerd.

Double Experience wears their nerd flag prominently. Describing themselves alternatively as “neo-rock” or “the nerd rock back you haven’t heard of”, they write about video games, CCGs, and comic books — and then put some killer hard rock behind it!

I had the chance to meet the guys as they pass through town on the edge of their sixth UK tour, and we talked music, nerditry, and the massive tours they continue to do. Check out the new album, Unsaved Progress, which is available April 8.

Quantum Break Review

Quantum Break is a new fresh idea brought to us by remedy games. Will this game be remembered in the future or does it get left in the past?, Let’s find out.

 

Story: You play as Jack Joyce (played by Sean Ashmore) a young adult who has a tendency of getting in to trouble. Jack returns back to his home town of River Port and he is there to meet his longtime friend Paul Serene (played by Aidan Gillen). Paul needs help with an experiment at the River Port University that goes terribly wrong. Leaving Jack and Paul with different time based powers. While you thought Paul was once your friend he has become the main antagonist finding a company called Monarch Solutions which is now on the hunt for Jack Joyce because of the incident at the University. So now it is up to Jack Joyce to stop Paul Serene and restore time.

 

Gameplay: This is not your average third person shooter. During the action sequences you can hide behind cover shooting your way through enemies using your time powers. Sometimes you will encounter certain enemies that you have to use certain time powers to defeat these enemies which is a very interesting and cool idea because it gives you a chance to test out all the powers. Now while you are not shooting your way through a horde of enemies you are walking around collecting Intel and things of that nature it is very important you get everything because it will all tie in to the story. Which is absolutely fantastic not a lot of games do that so this made me happy. With your time sense everything you need to collect is highlighted yellow which is a nice help for those who have trouble finding things like myself. Quantum Break also has a new feature in a game that I have never seen before it has live action half hour TV episodes which is an amazing feature and I was shocked to see it is very important to watch these all the way through as they will tie in with the gameplay story. There are little puzzles to solve

 

Conclusion: Quantum Break is a game not to be missed. It’s a great original idea with a fresh plot but with a twist. The game play feels very smooth and every collectible you get ties in with the story. The action is great the characters are interesting there is not one bland character in this game especially when they come alive in the live action TV episodes.

Likes: Story ,Time Power, Characters, Great cast

Dislikes: No Cover shooting

This game gets a 9.5/10 “one of the best games I have played this year” Gamers of the Round Table

From all of us here at Gamers of the Round Table

Happy Gaming
