LAST YEAR'S MODEL

So I’ve been obsessively playing Zenonia 2 for iphone.  It has been my go to source of entertainment for a couple months now on the train.  So I thought I would share.  n stuff.

The game itself is pretty straight ahead.  It is a top down adventure game in the style of Legend of Zelda, Secret of Mana, or even Diablo.  Though the style is far more 16 bit throwback then it is modern adventure.  And that is why Zenonia excels.  If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it and Zenonia does a great job using a tried and true formula.  Each of the 4 character choices have different skills, active and passive, and a wide array of weapons and armor to equip.  While using new equipment does not change or basic attack and defense skills, each piece of equipment does change the appearance of your character.  While this doesn’t have a huge effect on the game, it does add to the fun of finding new stuff.

Radtown massacre!  Check out those sweet glasses.  FLOPPY is an electronic rock duo that formed in Japan in 2004 consisting of Sharaku Kobayashi (vox, guitar) and Hiromu Toda (synthesizer).  They released their first album in 2005, Protoscience is their fourth (almost, cuz it’s only seven tracks and one remix) full length record.  I would call this music “Post Polysics”, but Sharaku’s other band, Metronome, has been around since the late 90’s, making them contemporaries of my favorite hyper rock band, though Metronome’s style is a bit more visual-kei.  FLOPPY’s music has a lot to do with Polysics and other “Tokyo New Wave of New Wave” bands (Hi-Posi definitely!).  Their music flies by at breakneck speeds and each song is filled with as many different sounds, textures and rhythms as can possibly fit, but what sets FLOPPY apart is their commitment to a more austere feel that is less pogo punk Devo and more cyberpunk anime while still managing not to take itself too seriously (see above intro video).
