I discovered that there is potential in football and installed FIFA 11 (I never liked the others); Well, the computer version of that game is a literal copy of the Xbox 360 version, because the controls were for the controller and not the keyboard. 2 days of suffering from playing stupid games that are the same every year.

Video of the day

Plastic Beach

Plastic Beach is Gorillaz' third studio album, released in 2010. It stands out as an ambitious and conceptual work that delves into environmental themes and a critique of consumerism, all wrapped in the virtual band's distinctive blend of musical genres.

At the heart of the album's concept is the titular "Plastic Beach," a secret floating island in the South Pacific made entirely of debris, rubbish, and remnants of humanity, inspired by the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Damon Albarn, the mastermind behind Gorillaz, conceived the idea after observing plastics on a beach near his home.

The album is a clear statement about humanity's impact on the environment, particularly plastic pollution in the oceans. Songs like "Superfast Jellyfish" satirize nutritional consumerism and processed foods, while "Some Kind of Nature" explicitly mentions artificial materials like plastic and aluminum.

Plastic Beach explores a post-apocalyptic feeling where the natural world has been invaded by synthetic waste. However, amidst this grim vision, possibilities for new creations and utopian imagination also glimmer, often through music and collaboration.

The album plays with the juxtaposition of natural sounds (birds, waves) with synthesizer effects and artificial sounds, reflecting the invasion of the synthetic into the natural world.

Unlike previous albums with more rock influences, "Plastic Beach" leans heavily into an electronic and synth-pop sound, which gives it a "clean" yet sometimes "cold" atmosphere that complements the plastic theme.

One of the most notable features is the vast list of guest artists, including Snoop Dogg, Mos Def, Bobby Womack, Lou Reed, Mark E. Smith (The Fall), Mick Jones and Paul Simonon (The Clash), De La Soul, Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Little Dragon, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, and The Syrian National Orchestra for Oriental Arabic Music. These collaborations don't feel forced but rather integrate into the concept, like "character actors" in the album's narrative.

The messages about climate change, consumerism, and ocean pollution resonate even more strongly today, making the album surprisingly prophetic and timeless.

Tales of Terror

The release of the new Eddsworld episode, "Tales of Terror," certainly offered a unique departure for the series, venturing into the horror genre. As a fan, it's always exciting to see creators explore new territory, and the very concept of a spooky Eddsworld episode was a brilliant idea that held a lot of promise.

While the episode took a more visually driven approach with less dialogue, which some viewers might find a shift from the usual fast-paced banter, this stylistic choice also allowed for a different kind of storytelling, focusing on atmosphere and visual cues to build tension. It's an interesting experiment that shows the team's willingness to innovate.

Regarding the ending, perhaps it wasn't the laugh-out-loud conclusion some might expect from Eddsworld, but it's important to remember that crafting horror, even comedic horror, can be a delicate balance. It might be seen as a more subtle wrap-up, leaving a lasting impression rather than a quick gag.

Ultimately, "Tales of Terror" is a solid 7/10 in its unique attempt to bring a new flavor to the Eddsworld universe. It's a testament to Matt Hargreaves' creative vision that he's unafraid to experiment and push the boundaries of what an Eddsworld episode can be. It's clear a lot of thought went into this episode, and it's definitely worth a watch for any fan looking for something a little different!
