Last of the fish drawn up for the !randomfish Twitch command. The command now spawns a random fish drawing on screen alongside a random fish related voice clip that I recorded.

It was a silly incentive spawned from Tazer Silverscar messing around with mistyping !randomshit command XD

My comparison of Clone Wars 2003 to The Clone Wars 2008

So I love Star Wars. Every single thing about it. I even love the prequels, despite how bad they sometimes can be. However I cannot help but think about the things that certain shows, books etc from what is now not considered canon that would have benefited the current in canon storyline.

For example: The 2003 animated Clone Wars show. It wasn't overly liked upon it's release but I happen to think that there's some amazing stuff in there. Not to disparage the 2008 clone wars which is so popular now it's coming back to us soon but there are things about that show that I don't think were very good additions to the Star Wars canon. I hate the General Grievous we get in the 2008 version, he sometimes feels less like a genuine threat to the Jedi Order and more like a comedic side villain like Assaj Ventress was for a while but I'll get to her in a bit. The Grievous we got in the 2003 version was better by miles and more; Not only did he have a scary, raspy voice but he also had that mentality and the tactical knowledge to defeat and utterly devastate the forces of the Republic. This version of the General had more cunning to him and was able to use his ENTIRE body to use the lightsabres he wielded effectively, while I understand that computer animation doesn't always give you everything to work with. I must admit I would have wanted to see the Grievous from 2008 have a bit more military might to him. Also, his 4 arm thing was common knowledge throughout the galaxy during the 2008 version, in 2003 version it was a surprise that only he and possibly Sidious and Dooku knew about which made it more fun and therefore less predictable for the Jedi to anticipate. In terms of Ventress, I guess she had to have some kind of arc involving her becoming more independent and finding her own way, but she was clearly already doing that, and the rule of two does forbid there being more than two Sith at any one time. That was why Maul and Opress doing what they did caught Sidious's attention in the first place, what would have worked would be that the 2003 version could have had some stuff lifted from it and have Ventress be a bounty hunter from the get go of the 2008 show with plans to kill Dooku and prove herself the better future apprentice. Also, one last thing to harp on about.... why did they have to make such a big deal over the clone's “separate identities” thing? I get that the show was made for kids I do get it, but in the 2003 version there were talking clones like Commander Cody but the others were soldiers bred for the purpose of war, that was it for them. I have no issue with the likes of Captain Rex, Cody, Fives and all the others from the 501s legion because with Anakin in charge of them, it seems highly likely that he would be all in favour of having their own names and personalities. Any clone that worked directly under a Jedi, I understand that shift for them, but the ARC Troopers, again in the 2003 version were silent and only used hand gestures, they were the best of the best and always knew about the mission. In the 2003 version, that was badass and awesome. In the 2008 version there would be a whole story about how they need to loosen up and have fun! It feels like they should have kept the main troopers not talking and given the emotional shit to just the ones that did.

Fish asset for my new !randomfish command on stream. I'll be recording myself saying 'fish' in various ways and maybe throw in a 'mu-basa' in there too.

I got 2 more fish to draw to finish off this incentive.

Metal Lords: How to melt faces and make friends

Hi everyone, my name is Nick Braunton and I am a Randomfish. I am also a very huge fan of Heavy Metal, the genre not the film made in 1981. On Netflix they just released the film called Metal Lords. Holy crap that movie! I’ve now watched it multiple times and wow is it awesome. Starring Adrian Greensmith, Noah Urrea and Isis Hainsworth this movie centres around 2 dudes called Hunter and Kevin who are in a band called Skullfucker and they’re looking for a bassist for battle of the bands. How best to describe this movie? I would say it was School of Rock esque but that’s not even it. There isn’t a Jack Black character in this. It’s about a couple of guys and eventually the girl that joins them becoming a band and learning about the strength and the beauty of heavy metal. It’s the type of film that you wouldn’t of seen being made during the era where every religious leader, every overprotective parent and every head of school saw heavy metal as a genre something to be stamped out because it meant losing your children to a world of orgies and drugs and they were the ruling social class and therefore anything that threatened them or seemed to would be destroyed. This movie talks about the good things from the music genre, the idea of taking control, of living life your way despite what everyone else says and it’s about a love for the music, which was kind of what the metalheads where about anyway, the drugs and orgies were just a wonderful by product.

The acting in this is brilliant where we have Adrian Greensmith as Hunter the unapologetic yet well meaning metal head, Noah Urrea as Kevin, the nerdy best friend who becomes as metal as Hunter and Isis Hainsworth as Emily, the cellist who joins the band and ends up hooking up with Kevin. Each one of theses characters does have a cool arc they go on in this movie; Hunter learns to let go of wanting to push everyone away so no one will hurt him including his friends and family along with being a better friend to both Kevin and Emily. Kevin becomes more confident in himself and even has a moment where he’s playing drums for another band after he and Hunter fall out where he ends up in a hot tub with a hot girl and she’s kissing his neck and he’s getting advice from various metal legends Tom Morello, Kirk Hammett, Rob Halford, and Scott Ian about being with a girl he actually likes or some random hot girl who may never speak to him again afterwards. Though I have to say I love Emily’s arc. She, much like the boys isn’t well favoured in the school social hierarchy and has to take meds in order to keep her anger under control and when she doesn’t she has outbursts which honestly I can totally relate to as I had moments of unbridled anger back when I was a teen too. She is shown to have a crush on Kevin pretty early on from when they first start speaking and is also the one to suggest that they start dating and everything else though she is very aware and doesn’t take things too fast for either of them. She and Hunter having a fight becomes the catalyst of Kev and Hunter’s fight in the film but we do see how Hunter can learn to compromise and be a good friend as opposed to being a complete dick all the time and he apologises for upsetting her and to Kevin too. But like I said all the actors are amazing, I highlighted the 3 main leads only but the whole cast does pretty brilliantly well.

If you’re not a metal fan because you genuinely can’t stand the genre then by all means never watch this movie because it is everywhere but if you’ve never really listened to metal before and might be even the least bit curious then I heartly recommend this film to help you get into this mighty genre of music. And if you are a fan then what the hell are you doing if you haven’t seen this yet? Go…. Watch it already!
