Ok so I downloaded this game and played it about 30 mins every night before I would go to bed. It was a lot of fun, very challenging. There are no shortcuts to getting more supplies [teeth, scales, fur] and no in-app purchases. I kind of like that, you cant buy your way to beating the game.
its all text, no pictures no animations. I found out that its for free on the internet, So if you're bored and want to give it a try go for it. Im not sure if it saves your progress though online.
Give it a chance, Dont just play for 5 mins and say "stupid, where are the graphics", give it a good honest try. It bummed me out when I completed it, I wish it could have been longer. A lot of fun.
The album is so warm and welcoming. First song, personally, is the best song on the entire album. But the entire album is really boss. I love the over all mastering of the album, its perfect. I enjoy her "Home Recordings" album and the "Tramp - Demos" album. I like that raw grimy sound and feeling. This is more of a mature album and I really like it. I've been listening to it on repeat since it came in Tuesday (currently listening while writing this). This came in the preorder:

Letter explaining why she made this album and where she was personally when she made it. I think this is one of the coolest and best parts of the entire package, the personal attachment and bringing the fans into that world. Happy I could support.
Its not worth the new game price, I think thats the fucked up part. If it came out and they charged maybe 30$ that'd be cool. This game was still being worked on when 2k came in and picked it up. They just worked with what they had and threw it to the fans. Look at the shitty manual This reminds me of like a computer game manual, not an xbox 360 manual. Its cool to see what they've been working on so long and if it came out in 1999 it would have been amazing, the problem is its 2011. A lot of stupid parts in the game. While youre playing you run into these meaningless annoying mini games and annoying game play. For example, you get shrunk and you ride around in a RC car in a dark casino...fucking lame. While you're playing theres no direction or objective... you pretty much have to figure out what to do on your own. In one part, the game actually lags bad. It should have been a straight first person shooter.. thats it...I dont know... I guess I kinda enjoy it... but Im not going to finish it... SO I guess I hate it. I loved old duke, Im leaning towards straight hate for this one. angry DO NOT BUY I dont feel like writing anymore...
Looks have nothing to do with this release, but this girl is attractive and shes kinda funny. Thats the only reason why this album got such a high rating. But things like that kind of piss me off, I cant get into her music at all. I really want to. Shes trying to be folky silly and catchy, but its not enjoyable. She has an amazing voice, and the guitar playing is kinda good, but she needs someone to ghost write her lyrics and let her know that there are other ways of singing songs. Every song has the same feel, her lyrics remind me a lot of Soko. To many little details being the focus of the song, trying to see the beauty in the little things, blah blah blah dumb. There are no memorable hooks, or catchy numbers that stick out in my head. I suggest to NOT buy it, but I do suggest to check her myspace and listen to her songs. One thing you have to do is watch her youtube videos, (they rule) shes very entertaining to watch, but her CD, not so much .
Again this girl is attractive and very talented. But that plays no part in my rating for this CD. From start to finish I enjoyed this cd. Slow, acoustic, folk, indie music. I found myself listening to the music, and enjoying some songs that were longer then 5 minutes. Usually I would hate when an artist would do that, but I didnt notice any of her songs dragging, or boring. You lose yourself in her music, and its easy to get into and enjoy. Reminds me alittle of Tiny Vipers, but nothing as depressing as a Jesy Fortino song. This release has good guitar playing with an awesome voice to compliment each track and is worth the money. Check out her myspace to buy the CD.
