Broadway. The band, not theater. [Promo]


Finding information on this band can be nigh impossible.  They're so unheard-of, they don't have a Wikipedia page.  What I do know is that they're pretty good, but their singles are phenomenal.   While listening to the album, you'll find yourself smiling because of how good some songs are, but the other songs are so-so.  It's a shame how many bands nowadays have "diamond in the rough" songs.  The songs you should definitely check out are "The Last Saturday", and "Same Thing We Do Everyday Pinky".  Both of these can be found on their most recent album, "Kingdoms".  Give them a chance!  Unless, of course, you don't like the post-hardcore genre.  Then you should listen to Cat Stevens.

Chibi-Robo [Promo]

I'll just start out being honest.  When I was a kid, this is the game I wanted.  I know, a little strange, a kid wanting a game where the point was the clean.  But once I finally got it, Chibi-Robo proved to be a lot more than just scrubbing stains.

Literally translated as "Little Robot", this GameCube game had quite a few surprises for players.  Although, it was developed by "Skip Ltd.", who hasn't done anything else worth mention.  Playing as a tiny robot, you navigate your owner's house and earn "Happy Points", usually through doing chores.  This can include picking up trash (which also earns you Moolah, the game's currency), scrubbing out stains, helping a family member, or taking care of the garden.
