E3 Interview- ‘Happiness is a Choice’ in We Happy Few
During Microsoft’s Press Conference at E3 2016, one of the best-received titles announced for the Xbox One was We Happy Few. In the trailer for We Happy Few, we met Arthur Hastings, a man who makes a living erasing the past from history in newspaper clippings while simultaneously taking pills called ‘Joy’. A ‘Joy’ pill literally makes the user happy, helps the user to forget the past, and make…

Hey guys so I know I don't have a ton of followers, and I feel kind of stupid posting this in case it doesn't work. But i'm trying to get my cousin Sam a lot of views on his youtube video. So if you wouldn't mind, could you watch his video and give him some views and likes, and reblog this post please :)
His name is Sam Abbott, he played for 2013 provincial champion St. Paul's Crusaders. His team never lost a game in three years! I got to watch his last game, where they won 56-8. The St. Paul Crusaders are the second best team in Canada. Sam plays Defensive End and Captain. He's looking to play football past high school in the 2014 season. Consistently with an academic average above 85% since grade 9.

Please please please give this video views and likes, and remember to reblog!! It would mean so much to me :)
The National - Trouble Will Find Me
Its an exciting prospect that a band can still create music of an unbelievable quality with a few albums already behind them, instead of firing on all cylinders with a debut then spending ten years trying to catch up. Ohio's The National have only gotten better with time it seems, with the release of their sixth album, Trouble Will Find Me. The band have matured and refined everything about their sound since their first album, The National, came out in 2001. five albums, twelve years, and two Obama campaigns later and here we are, a band completely in their stride. A hard band to describe, but can be easily summed up with one word: melancholy. Matt Berninger's baritone droll is not for everyone, but The National are a band of subtleties. Nothing about this band is intended to be showy. Its not something you just 'get' on first listen.
All these things considered, this is a tough album to go into, let alone review. The National are one of my all time favourite bands, so naturally my Berninger-friendly ears are able to soak in every drop. Musically wise, it isn't a grand departure from previous efforts, ever present drums are guided along by intimate guitar lines, steady bass, piano chords, swirling synths and orchestral elements. Its a lot to take in, especially under Berningers vocals. With so much happening and so many instruments its surprising how coherent and as I said before, subtle, the songs are. Take Fireproof for example, guitar lines, strings and pianos all ping around the ears, occasionally giving way to a beautifully warm burst of synthesiser. Not usually purveyors of the instrument, the warm swells do wonders.
In the build up to the release, I noticed the album described as "13 songs of Sorrow (High Violet)". This is pretty accurate, The National have hardly ever been a cheerful band, but my word do they do miserable better than anyone else. This Is The Last Time and I Need My Girl are the soundtrack to self pity, all minor keys and mournful vocals and lyrics. Its a beautiful album to listen to, even if it is a bit depressing. But then again, isn't all the best music? And of course the glue to all this brilliance is the vocals. The usual dry wit and sense of humour underpin a lot of Berningers performance, his lyrics often dealing with relationships. Heartbreak and anguish can be heard in every line, in every hook. He has grown tremendously along with the rest of the band and its hard to imagine them possibly getting better, but Im sure they will. This is The National's best album, so far, and the best album of the year.
10/10
