Killer 7: The Game Screaming for Originalism

Guaranteed to divide gamers, Killer 7 is the most original game I have played yet which constantly kept me intrigued by it's content.

It's in my top 3 single player games simply because of it's amazing original content unlike anything else out there as far as I know. It really sounds weird when I have played many AAA titles before and after, but the effect Killer 7 lasted on me is still present. Not even Grasshopper Manufacture have or Suda51 has made a greater game since then.

Talking first about the gameplay itself, it won't be one of the most satisfying ones out there, but it's so simply crafted while harmonizing with the surreal craziness of the game's other factors that it just works. As some sort of controllable on-rail first person shooter mixed in with solving unusual tasks while surrounded by strange characters, the game starts confusing and ends much more confusing in the end.

The soundtrack is vastly varied with some very catchy tunes to listen to, with Tecks Mecks, Russian Roulette, Sweet Relief and Election Plot standing on top as my favorite ones. With mixed genres thrown in, you never know what kind of music is coming up next in each of the chapters.

The graphics and sounds being created are so unusual with cel shaded beauty in it's own way and disturbing laughing enemies surpressing your movements. The presentation is just wow, and again, the random factor is highly present. There are so many objects and situations that you will never see again, unless the chance has come to parody something out of Killer 7, but I doubt that.

You see, to really appreciate Killer 7, you must learn to understand the rules of the game, which is heavily emphasized by the story. Killer 7 easily became a work of art after uncovering the difficult symbolism plot. And throwing the word "art" in the game industry is very rare and a big deal because so far, pessimistic critics have denied that art even exist in games. From what I have gathered so far atleast.

However, despite all of this praise, it truly is "One man's trash is another man's treasure". Be very warned that this game might instantly turn your excitement down, but if you're looking for a milestone in originality with a deep plot that can easily compete with deep movie or deep book plots, this is it.

A new direction

Mastervolt, an international company who strives to be the best regarding energy supply. I't's a professional business to work with and I am glad to be a part of it.

It is roughly divided into 3 market sections:

-Maritime energy
-Automotive energy
-Solar energy

Quoting a bit of our profile here now:

"For these market sectors, Mastervolt develops, manufactures and distributes high-quality electrotechnical systems for independent energy supply. With its head office in Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and 7 of its own branches worldwide, Mastervolt sells these systems in more than 60 countries throughout the world via a network of distributors and dealers. "

So far, my work inside quality control & repair has been a learning course of electro technology and in addition to logistics which I already was a little familiar with in one of my previous jobs.

Originally I had a job application at Mastervolt for an IT position, but because of lack of knowledge (probably because I have been looking for a full year in the IT industry and the knowledge slowly faded away) they offered me a place at a different department.

It's been 2 busy weeks, and I still need to develop with my new colleagues, but knowing already that this is a relaxing environment where people offer their help and you can walk anywhere in, even inside the CEO's office, to ask something or just to have a talk, I think I am in a good spot.

Time will show how my career will develop, let's hope it will be most of all a positive ride.

A Serbian Film

Starting with a movie review.

My first Serbian movie. I already knew a bit about Serbians from Defense of the Ancients matches, and it seems that history has not been well for the country. As the director has said, this movie carries a message about the current status of Serbia. The movie's cinematography and camera work are surprisingly professional. The writing for this adult story is well done and interesting, and the buildup before all of the disturbance was tempting. I knew nothing of the details, thus increasing the effectiveness of the scenes. After the movie ended, I can safely say that out of my previous viewed shock movies such as Salò (1975) , Nekromantik (1987) or Men Behind the Sun (1988) that this is like an upgraded, renewed, heck, modernized new look at the dark topics of life.

Let me spoil you the disturbing parts eh? Aside from children watching porno and it being a semi pornography movie in general, we've got sodomy, newborn porn, bleed peeing, dick cutting, rough sexual violence, very fucking fast shock scenes, torture, extreme gore including a head sliced off the body, which let blood fly everywhere (And no, not in a ridiculous way like in Kill Bill, but in a creepy way) while the main character continues to be what seems to be the only thing that comes to mind; a fuck rage.

We've also got regurgitating, dick biting, black blood, drug abuse, gay rape, neck breaks, head banging, head smashing, eye rape, cannibalism, harassment, nightmares, child porn, morphing voices and family suicide. Wow, amazing, not to mention the high tension the music accompanies the movie, this has easily become the most shocking movie I have seen yet. And I mean that with full concrete persuasion. Considering the very extreme nature of this movie and the effect it had on me, I cannot justify such a horrific movie with just a passable rating of a 6. No sir, for an extraordinary controversial movie such as this, I am giving it an 8.

If you're one of the hardcore guys like me who have been searching for a truly shocking movie while at the same time not being poorly made such as August Underground's Mordum (2003) or a dull plot such as Aftermath (1994) , then this is it. This is a well made movie with buildup at the beginning, extreme nature with all the juicy details visible, suggestive or not and even a thoughtful plot that might go unnoticed for most viewers because of the vast amount of horror!

In conclusion, this is the ultimate quality shock movie I have seen yet, and I can recommend it to everyone who wants to have seen it all. For the rest of us, for your sanity, mark my words and never, ever see this movie if you are easily offended.

Rating 8.5

- Introduction -

Hello internet, welcome to Flok Factory, where I type in usual blogs and others that come to mind. I decided to use Blogger because http://www.ign.com/ has become sloppy and inconvenient to use as a blog service. Therefore all of the gaming blogs for example will now be displayed here, at this central blog site.

Enjoy my opinion, or give me feedback.

P.S.

Flok is my original nickname in real life, however people around the internet tend to use this name as well before I get the chance to do so. Ergo, I decided to use Flow_Rush as my second general nickname. Just clearing up the possible confusion here.
