Razzy Rants: Music was my first love

.. and it will be my last. Words made immortal by the the artist John Miles in an amazing song. But just why is this the case? I can certainly tell for myself that this will most likely be the case.

Musicals!

Firstly I have to say I'm wasn't the biggest fan of musicals. The idea of an entire movie/play being outshone by the musical strength of their main lead, wasn't one I was too keen on. Luckily, there always is that one showing you not all musicals are bad. For me, that was "Moulin Rouge", the movie directed by Baz Luhrman and starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor in the main leads that has stolen my heart, and kindled my love for musicals. From the opeing scene where they introduce you to the difficult life of a penniless writer, to the big love songs at the end, these songs are fille with emotions. If the song is written and brought correctly, these songs can even turn the most unempathic person to tears. And for me Moulin Rouge is that movie. The joy I feel during the can-can (yea, I watch the extended version!), feeling naughty whenever you play the "Red room song", the hatred during "Roxanne" and the absolute love I feel that special person whenever I hear "Your Song" or "Come what may". Moulin Rouge will stay for me my all time favourite movie. 


Memories

I guess the one thing we can't deny is the fact that (almost) every song reminds us of something we've done, been through or someone. (or a combination) And those feelings are linked so hard they get triggered every time you hear that song. Funny though is, I sometimes don't even know WHY I react to certain songs.
"She goes nana" by the Radios always reminds me of a sunny summer with friends, "Back in the UK" brings me back to the time I still did fitness, "Poison", "Meet me halfway", "Smooth Flavours", "Chop Suey", ... all those songs remind me of someone special. And I guess that list not only goes on and on, but it keeps on growing. And allthough some I'll never see again, those songs will keep reminding me of "those good times". And I guess that's why music will be my last love..

Final Fantasy XV

After a good three years without a new entry in the main series, Square-Enix has finally released the game some of us have been waiting on for the better part of a decade. Most fans agree that the series has been in decline for smoe time and had their last hopes pinned on this title. With the promise of a returned focus on a limited cast of characters, a more fluid and open game style and the gorgeous graphics that were one of the few redeeming factors of the newer entries, it certainly proved that the series is not yet running on it’s final legs. 15 and still going baby!

DreadBall: Teraton Tactics

Image
Being a Mantic Pathfinder and a Mantic DreadBall Fanatic, I often get asked about how to play with several DreadBall teams. What tactics they should play, which are their strongest points or just their flaws. What MVP's should we really go with, and how will the team grow in a league? Trying to educate people in a group, I thought I'd write my opinion down for all the teams. Here come the Teraton marching on the pitch. The Ukomo Avalancers appear!
