The dirt lot and this video look very similar. If we all had cars like this guy the dirt parking lot would be no big deal, but until then we will just have to watch this guy’s car dominate these rocks.

This video has all the qualities needed to make a funny video. Ridiculous foreign music, check. Pies in the face of unsuspecting people, check. Four-year-old temper tantrums after unexpected people get pied, check.

Alcoholic monkeys always make a good video. For some reason it’s in these monkeys’ genes to drink alcohol so they go around a tropical resort and swoop down and steal people’s drinks. The funniest part of the video is when the monkeys begin to feel the effects of the alcohol and begin to stagger around.

You take on the role of Batman, who now has walked himself right into a trap set by the Joker himself in the mad house known as Arkham Asylum, and you’ve become the guest of honor in this virtual house of horrors, in which you’re trying to be killed around every corner by the Joker and his baddies.

As you start the game, you become immersed immediately into the action, facing goons and boss battles galore. Progressing through the game gives you a multitude of new weapons and gadgets to stalk your foes and dispense of them how you may, whether it is by dropping from a stone gargoyle and making the overly muscular bad guys with automatic machine guns disappear without anyone knowing or a timely punch combo to the throat you just learned.

One of the great elements to this game is the Splinter Cell-like stealth aspect in which you can run, glide, and hide to live and fight another day, or as an advantage to take your enemies out one by one tactically.

With such realistic A.I (artificial intelligence in the characters) it creates a thrilling feeling as they begin to fear being picked off in the darkness.

However, no game is perfect and even this one has some downsides. The game can become glitchy at times, and have frame rate spikes, which can get trying at times. In addition, sometimes the game does not react as fast as you would hope, leading you to get pummeled by some of the Joker’s goons.

Overall though, this game was a huge improvement over the last Batman-themed video game, remember Lego Batman? It deserves a solid nine out of ten.

Q: What position are you in the band and who are some other band members?
SG: I am the lead singer in the band, which is challenging because I am a newer singer still trying to find myself. There is also Robert Moffitt who plays lead guitar for the band.

Q: Who is your favorite professional artist?
SG:  My favorite artist is Kaki King because she is intriguing and interesting to listen to. She is a unique person that most people don’t know of, and she has a great bass technique that wows the audience and has wonderful rhythm.
RM: My favorites artist is Joe Satriani who is a sole electric artist that inspires me to play music. I like the sound and quality of his songs that makes him good to listen to.

Q: What are the biggest obstacles you face when you’re performing?
SG:  There are a lot of obstacles from setting up the speakers and other equipment, to getting ready to perform. There are always nerves at the beginning of a song and making sure you hit the right pitches. Once the song is on its way all the nerves just disappear and that allows the band to really do well.

Q: What inspires you to play music and be in a band?
SG:  I really love music and it is the greatest thrill when you’re up on stage performing; there is nothing better than that. It is the best thing being out in front of your fans playing with them and creating a great concert.

Q: Where would you like your music to take you?
SG: I would really love my music to take me to being a top artist and performing in front of thousands of fans.  It is my goal in life to allow my music to take me all over the world and reach out to fans everywhere.
RM: Is not sure where I want music to take me, but wherever it is that is great with me. I just love playing music and performing in front of the crowd.
