Music Review: Slightly Stoopid
Don't let Slightly Stoopid's new album, Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid, fool you into thinking they are just another dumb stoner band.The musical sounds that come from the band's new release are of the highest quality.
With a sound similar to Sublime and G. Love, Slightly Stoopid mixes reggae, blues, acoustic and metal into one grassroots vibe. Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid is the band's seventh studio album and stays true to their down-to-earth and mellow tones.
The album flows well from track to track and features a variety of different sounds. Highlights include "Foreign Land," an upbeat reggae tune with a catchy trumpet riff and some crunchy guitar, as well as "Sensimilla," another relaxed reggae tune. A cover of the Grateful Dead's "I Know Your Rider" shows off Slightly Stoopid's ability to take a more folk and jam-oriented song and give it their own spin. Instrumentals like "Circle House Blues" and "Tom & Jerry"
provide solid transitions and great guitar work as well.
Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid is an easy-listening album, great for playing during a house party or summer barbeque.

APAX 2008 Wrap-Up
The gigantic Penny Arcade Expo just had too many games for one article. Here's the rest of the best from the largest video game expo in the United States.
Electronic Arts had the biggest presence at the show, and some of the best games there, too. Dead Space, a survival horror game set in a deteriorating spaceship full of aliens and other sinister creatures brings back memories of movies like Alien and Event Horizon, while also impressing with it's innovative zero-gravity gameplay. Mirror's Edge also brought new techniques to the table with the use of 'parkour', an athletic, acrobatic running style shown in the opening scene of 2006's Casino Royale. Mirror's Edge gives players numerous paths to slide, jump and swing through as they vault across skyscraper rooftops.
Real-time strategy buffs will be pleased, whether they're looking for a more traditional game like Starcraft II or the fresh new take found in Demigod. Starcraft II effortlessly captures the feeling of the original, while adding new units, tactics and beautiful graphics into
the mix.
Finally, Fallout 3 practically stole the show with its original post-armegeddon 1950s Washington, D.C. setting and smooth combination of the first person shooter and role-playing genres.The game gives players hundred of moral decisions throughout its campaign like deciding whether to nuke a small town. With more than 500 possible endings, this game could pose a serious threat to your schoolwork.
