Its Succkkin teh Life out of Meh!

Role playing games are dope. I’ve played a handful in my life, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Assassin’s Creed 3, Fable 3, Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, Liberty City Stories, Vice City, San Andreas, GTA 4, Saints Row 2 and 3, Far Cry 2 and I’m currently working on Far Cry 3. The zombie ones were fun for me but I just couldn’t completely get lost in them the way I did with the other games. 

 

GTA 3 was the eye opener to the world of sandbox type games for me, for most people it was. After being trapped in a world of first person shooters Fallout 3 was introduced to me. The adventure and freedom of the game opened up the rest of the world of adventure-RPG’s to me. Fable 3 was a stand-out to me because the decisions you made in the game would affect everything about the game, your decisions would change the game entirely. If you haven’t played it I highly recommend it. I never got into either of the first two Assassin’s Creed games but the third one grabbed me by the face and forced me to play it the whole way through. I had to know what would happen next.

RPG games are enjoyable for me because they remove me completely from reality and I have no idea what’s going on besides the game and its story. These are the games that keep people up until the sun comes up reminding them what time it is, they take over your life and you won’t mind until you beat it, then you just want more.

 

Odd Future

Odd Future is a group often looked over when people search for music. Their lyrical content is a big turn off for many listeners, as they paint pictures of disturbing scenes with their words. The production is taken over by Tyler, The Creator, Left Brain and The Jet Age of Tomorrow. They all have their own projects aside from Odd Future. Tyler, with his solo career has released two albums; Bastard and Goblin and has an upcoming project titled Wolf. Left brain is half of the duo MellowHype with fellow Odd Future rapper Hodgy Beats. They have released 3 albums to date; YellowWhite, BalckenedWhite and Numbers. The Jet Age of Tomorrow is probably the least known of the producers. They consist of producers Matt Martians and Pyramid Vritra. The Jet Age of Tomorrow currently has two albums out; Voyager and The Journey to the 5^th Echelon, with the upcoming JellyFish Mentality.

Odd Future has a large amount of members. The main vocalists are Tyler, The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis and Hodgy Beats. Frank Ocean is the singer of the group, impressing many and going on to do a lot of solo work. Listening to some of their new music you can see the growth in their music. The obscene teen anger is dumbed down; however the violation of your comfort is still very much there. A large reason of why people listen to Odd Future is because of their ability to have the feel that they do. The production has beats that follow the story the lyricist is telling. You can feel the songs gasp for breath and twist and break with the words of the rapper. Odd Future’s popularity could simply be chalked up to their lyrical content and kids listening to it, but there is much more to it than just that.
