Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated the PlayStation version of Twisted Metal in Video Games
May 7, 2020 (Updated May 7, 2020)
Twisted Metal is a vehicular combat video game developed by SingleTrac, produced by Sony Interactive Studios America (now 989 Studios) and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation.
Twisted Metal is a vehicular combat game in which the player takes control of one of twelve unique vehicles. While in control of a vehicle, the player can accelerate, steer, brake, reverse, activate the turbo, turn tightly, toggle between and activate weapons using the game controller's d-pad and buttons.
The game takes place in the streets of Los Angeles on Christmas Eve, 2005. The contest featured in the game is the tenth annual running of the competition thus far.
The game's plot is centered on the titular competition in which various drivers in modified vehicles must destroy the other vehicles in an attempt to be the last one alive. The winner meets the organizer of the competition, a mysterious man named Calypso, who will grant the winner a single wish, regardless of price, size or even reality.
The Story: Once a year the legendary Calypso, a man who dwells beneath the streets of Los Angeles, holds the "Twisted Metal" competition. The contest takes place all around the Los Angeles area and calls upon drivers in various different vehicles to battle to the death. The contestants are selected and contacted by Calypso via an e-mail message that simply reads "WILL YOU DRIVE?" in red letters. The one driver still alive at the end of the night is granted a single wish, with no limits on price, size or, according to some, even reality.
Its a excellent game and a classic.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Talk Talk - Single by Cannons in Music
Jun 17, 2019
“You say it felt so nice. That’s when I am near. I’m fighting voices in my mind, voices telling lies about it. ‘Cause it feels so right with your arms around me.” – lyrics
‘Talk Talk’ will be featured on Cannons’ upcoming album, entitled, “Shadows”, available later this summer.
The likable tune contains a relatable storyline, dreamy vocals, and groovy instrumentation seasoned with a chill ‘70s vibe. Also, the song possesses indie-alternative and electro-pop elements.
Cannons formed in 2013 when childhood friends Ryan Clapham and Paul Davis met Michelle Joy.
The two grew up on the same street in Los Angeles and had been trying to start a band for years. But nothing had quite clicked until their paths crossed hers.
Michelle’s effortless vocals melded perfectly with Ryan’s old school, Memphis-style R&B chord progressions and Paul’s densely layered productions.
Since then, their music has been licensed in HBO’s first season of Ballers, and used to soundtrack the rollout for Kendall & Kylie Jenner’s Topshop line.
