Steve / Vocals Laurent M / Guitar Antoine / Guitar Jerome / Bass Stephan / Drums
from the band:
“We are glad to present the new video "Siamese Again" supporting the upcoming album ‘Cornerstone’!”, guitarist Laurent comments. “The shooting took place in the Swiss Jura area last fall, directed by Mathias Wälti. The thematic may question the feeling of abandonment and the destructive repeating cycles! Your mind will do the rest.”
Formed in Geneva in 2005, This Misery Garden is a dark rock/metal band aiming to deliver a genuine intense music. Melancholy threatening hope, anger defying serenity, all of those blend altogether to create a vivid and illuminating sound.
It’s been 17 years since Duke Nukem 3D came out and The Duke is long overdue for a comeback! He does so in style today with the surprise release of Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition.
Devolver Digital – publishers of Hotline Miami – have teamed up with 3D Realms and indie developer General Arcade to bring DN3D to Steam. Included are the three expansion packs Duke Caribbean: Life’s a Beach, Duke: Nuclear Winter, and Duke It Out in D.C, but they have also added SteamPlay support across PC and Mac, cloud saving and achievements, and they plan to add Steamworks-enabled multiplayer in the near future!
One of the best early first-person shooters, Duke Nukem is back!
Duke Nukem is a video game series focusing on its protagonist, Duke Nukem. Originally created by Apogee Software Ltd./3D Realms as a series of video games for the PC, the franchise expanded to games released for various consoles by third party developers. In 2010, the rights of the franchise were acquired by Gearbox Software, who completed the development of Duke Nukem Forever and released it on June 10, 2011 in Europe and Australia and on June 14, 2011 in North America. The voice actor for Duke Nukem is Jon St. John.
When I go to see a movie in the local cinema, it is usually after a lot of research and deliberation. Is it one that can wait for viewing in our home theater or does it require the theater experience? More often than not, waiting to enjoy a movie on our very capable Blu-ray/Plasma setup is the way to go...and far less expensive.
Two weeks ago, I won an invite to a sneak preview of Olympus Has Fallen from IGN and gofobo, but it was a Wednesday evening, an hour away in Miami...just didn't seem worth the drive. Because of my account on http://www.gofobo.com/, I was also invited to a preview of THE CROODS this past Saturday morning at our favorite theater close by.
Having not even seen a trailer for the movie, I checked Rotten Tomatoes where THE CROODS was hovering around 60% positive, with ony a few reviews posted. (it has since risen to over 80%!) Most reviewers thought the film would play better to younger viewers, with little for adults to enjoy. Lisa wanted to see it and although I thought I would hate it, I said nothing and went.How bad could it be, right?
Boy, am I glad I did as THE CROODS is one of the better animated films we have seen recently. Although it will not give Pixar's best a run for their money, THE CROODS is a very entertaining prehistoric experience.
Surprisingly, there are no talking animals and I had no idea who the voices were. It took longer than usual to guess, as I was fairly caught up in a beautiful 3D experience wrapped around the simple but effective story. Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds and Cloris Leachman give great vocal performances throughout and the animation is fast, furious and colorful. It is one of the better 3D experiences I have had in the cinema.
The children in the packed preview laughed and cheered during the entire film and a round of applause rose during the credits. Young and old seemed unanimous in giving the film a proverbial "thumbs up".
On my scale, I would give it four out of five and will probably add it to our Blu-ray library.
It opens this in theaters this Friday, March 22nd.
Long Distance Calling formed in 2006 in Münster. Their melancholic tracks, usually lasting five or more minutes, are mostly instrumental, but some of them feature guest vocalists: Peter Dolving from The Haunted (Built Without Hands, album Satelite Bay) and Jonas Renkse from Katatonia (The Nearing Grave, album Avoid The Light). Long Distance Calling have released two singles and three full-length albums, all of which were received very positively by critics: Satellite Bay (2007), Avoid the Light (2009) and Long Distance Calling (2011). In 2008 the band played at the Rock am Ring and Roadburn festivals; the band toured Germany in 2009. In 2010, Long Distance Calling and Finnish Swallow The Sun supported Katatonia during the New Night Over Europe tour. They most recently supported Protest The Hero on their 2012 European tour.
