Review - Halo: Reach

So, There is this game that you may have heard about.  It was made by this game developer whom you may know of.  I think they have done this sort of thing before.  Perhaps once or thrice.


Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, that's the one.

See, you do know what i'm talking about.




Any way, I have only done a small part of the game, completed the campaign.  Saw a few clips of some Easter eggs that I will now go find.

So feel free to visit Bungie.net and find out more about this win game. Or better yet, make use of that comment feature, Post your own experiences, or questions.

Album Review - The Earlybirds "Favourite Fears"

So with today being August 23, I decided that I would go and get The Earlybirds debut album "Favourite Fears."

Now before I say anything about the band or the album, I feel it necessary to acknowledge my extreme bias. I went to kindy with The Earlybirds frontman Filip Kostovich, I know his parents, they are very good people.

Righty then, onto the album.

I knew that I would love this album well before I toddled down to the local Warehouse, (Thanks Ivan for playing their early singles all those years ago), It also helps that I have been following them since then. But the key factor in why this is a good, nay great album is that I put it on when I got back to the Batcave and everyone commented on how good it was. None of them had heard of The Earlybirds before, but then again, who watches music television unless they are at Unimart. 

The album opens with "Cold To The Touch," One of the softer songs of the album. It certainly sets the feeling of epic-ness that will follow though. Followed by "Low." It is most certainly one of the key pieces of the album. Then we get to the bands 3rd single "I Can't Live Without You." Enough Said. "On Your Shoulder" gives you a break from the epic with a softer popy tune. "Truth" kicks it buck up for a faster-paced happy fun time. "Runaway" is the bands original single, very much reminiscent of the bands early years back at the Masonic Tavern in Devonport. "No You In Youth" is the most indie song of the bunch, and with such a catchy name, who could blame them. "Metaphobia" is a song that I listened to the day before the album came out, and instantly I was captivated, such a piece is usually only made by acts much older than The Earlybirds (NB: The album name is a lyric of this song). "I Killed The Dj" was the bands second single, and with the changing flow of the music, its little wonder that they have made it this far. "Kill To Love" is the penultimate track, and it gives us a nice wind down (with lyrics that are a pleasant injection of humour) into "Sleep" an instrumentally heavy track, very slow and befitting of the name it was given, and at 8:52, a very nice close to a very wonderful album

5/5

UPDATE Feb 16 2011:
Just released the offical video for "Truth", Link has been changed.

Halo: Reach ViDoc - Forge World

Ah ha! You thought I was gone lol

Well that was a close one!

To explain why Brian was saying goodbye to me in the previous post, it was because at that stage I might have been jumping camp and leaving the Batcave to go live with the boys at Wintec Student Village. But now I am not!! Hooray!!

I am still not going to be an Admin because I now have my own blog to run, the most awesome Phoenix Den but I'll still post here about all the antics here at the best flat ever :D

So do not fret, there is plenty of White Hot Phoenix to go round ;)

Phoenix out! (but still in)

And The World Shall Burn Till It Is But Dust

So As we approach the end of the current semester it has become apparent that the exam period is upon us.

This is a difficult time for many, not all will succeed, but it is hoped that many, if not most of you, will.

We here at the Batcave wish you all the best for your coming doom. Hope you studied.


But as with all things it appears that some things must come to an end. It is with a sadface that we must farewell Marc "Phoenix" Harper-Holmes from the Administration, but never fear, he may move back to his own blog, but he will still have a place here as an author. I'm sure Marc will chip in to say goodbye before he finally leaves us, but you never know.


That's all from the sole friendly Admin,
Batcave Out.
