#whitney's playground

[thehappywun]

Another independent music download. This one seeing Blues Lawyer as they get ready to tour Europe later this month, always a pleasure seeing George / Inna and band play, has been the third time this year, and loved that "Backwards Forever" has returned to the set and am liking new one "Scheme" a lot too.

Damn I hate being sober

But me and my friends had fun on my birthday

thinking about the 141 and karaoke. again.

soap

mic hog. no genre is safe. he'll attempt them all. he brings the drama to every song. give him a ballad, and he's on his knees. give him something raunchy, and you'll get desperate hip thrusts.

that don't impress me much by shania twain

stranger in my house by tamia

uhn tiss uhn tiss uhn tiss by bloodhound gang

guess by charli xcx (this might be a stopping point for some of you, my apologies.)

it's all coming back to me now by celine dion (yes, he chose a 7 min song.)

die young by kesha

gaz

reaching for those high notes. a natural performer. very fun. irritates the fuck out of soap because the older lady who runs karaoke night is clearly in love with him.

in my head by jason derulo (ridin' solo is the alternate.)

don't you want me by the human league

how will i know by whitney houston (the stage presence? got it. the lungs? no.)

kiss by prince (see above.)

heart of glass by blondie

price

he still cannot sing. that does not stop him. because he thinks he's a good singer. generally in his cups by the time he makes it onto the stage.

push by matchbox twenty (no he didn't see the barbie movie.)

hungry like the wolf by duran duran

sex and candy by marcy playground

modern love by david bowie

i want love by elton john (really brings down the mood.)

ghost

nice fucking try, he's not even at the bar. he's in his room, two hours deep into roof thatching and farrier videos.

duets

price keeps mentioning don't let the sun go down on me by elton john and george michael in a "don't make me sing" kind of way, and gaz finally takes pity on him and signs them up for it.

soap and gaz nail the vibe of the boy is mine by brandy and monica so well, and it's unclear if there's actual beef or not afterward.

but it's alright because they immediately follow up with on the wings of love by jeffrey osborne.

before last call, soap hauls some unfortunate soul onto stage when gaz refuses a third and final duet. makes them sing something uncomfortably intimate for two strangers to sing, like stay by rihanna or we've got tonight by kenny rogers and sheena easton.

[propertyofwhitney67]

Dark Whitney crying every time it rains...

He can't help but think of all the times you would join him in the park. The milkshakes shared, the schemes to get money, and fucking on the bench...He misses you so fucking much. It's hard for him to go to parks. Now he only goes when your baby wants to go play on the playground.

[melsie-sims2]

It didn't take long for both of the girls to start rolling all of the sappy romantic wants.

They were all over each other.

"You know, it's my first time kissing a girl on a playground," Romy pointed out, gesturing toward the swings and the slide.

"Not me," Whitney smirked. "Don't worry, I was seven, it wasn't anything serious."

[hurricane-heatt]

all of my friends think i’ve gone crazy…

Sebastian sinks his head further into his sweating hands. “Shut up. Seriously, Lewis, he’ll hear.”

Laughs from around the table, from the booth that Sebastian’s friends have decided to take up. He won’t hear, but it’s a nice excuse. He elbows Lewis either way, spills a bit of his drink onto the table, where it’ll now lie sticky.

They’re situated at a quieter corner, and Seb sits right at the back, looking out onto the bar, where Webber is stood. He sips on a pint and keeps glancing to Seb’s table, keeping a ‘close eye from a distance,’ as agreed. It’s driving him nuts.

“No, honestly. You’re like Whitney Houston, and he’s Kevin Costner.” Seb raises his eyebrow at Jenson’s reference and his pointing back and forth. He’s red in the face, beside himself with the entire situation. “And-“

Oh god, now he’s singing ‘I Will Always Love You’ at the top of his voice. It’s not a good rendition. His friends roar and wolf whistle, and Sebastian wants to die a bit more at the sound. He laughs but it doesn’t quite come out right.

It’s at this entirely opportune moment that Webber tilts his head towards the table, and makes eye contact with Seb. He grimaces, gestures with his hands wildly at Jenson near falling off his chair in laughter, and Webber smirks, brings the glass up in a ‘cheers’ motion. Sebastian gives him the V’s, and he chuckles, turns his attention back towards the door.

With the crowd numbing to a blind, singular noise, Sebastian lets himself admire Mark Webber, just for a moment. There’s more references being made to 90s rom-coms that he doesn’t care to react to, so he lets himself look.

There’s the way he towers over most of the people around him, scrambling for a drink. There’s the way he stands, casual but there’s something ready, trigger happy under his skin.

There’s the way that he’s not built particularly broad, but considering what happened, there must be some strength under the plain black tees he chooses to wear, day in and day out. That’s what he’s there for, he supposes.

Sebastian lets himself reminisce upon it, on day old memories of Webber behind him, hand gripping his bicep, steering him forward towards a clearing in the crowd, away from flashing cameras and bumbling paps. Webber’s voice, assertive behind him, his other arm stretched out to push stray reporters out of the way.

Sebastian feels a little flustered all over again. Maybe he should cause a scene to get Webber’s hands on him again, his body so close; and other crazed thoughts by Sebastian, tipsy and surrounded by mocking squawks. He’ll use that as an excuse - he’s only a product of his environment, none of these ideas are his own, logical creations.

Again, Webber quickly looks up from across the room, straight at Sebastian, and he feels as though he’s been caught. Surely his talents stop at reading minds. He mouths, “You okay?” and Sebastian pauses, because he is a little overwhelmed. It’s a lot to lip read across a bar, though, so he just nods instead.

“You sure?” And he carries on nodding, gives Webber a little hand waving motion to read, ‘go away.’ He smiles and rolls his eyes, and again, his attention is back to the other patrons of the bar, scanning for potential threats.

What would it take for him to linger? Immediately, Sebastian feels like shaking the thought from his mind, as soon as it crept in. Stupid, romanticised thoughts of this ridiculous situation. It’s not valid representation of how he feels about it all, which is, very annoyed.

“Sebastian and, fuck, what’s his name again?” Jenson looks so excited by his next words that Sebastian worries he might wet himself.

“Webber,” Seb resigns, and gets ready for the children’s playground rhyme.

“Sebastian and Web-ber, sitting in a tree-“

Fucking hell.

From last Wednesday outside of Vesuvio's Cafe, which is one of my favorite spots in SF these days.

At this point, I'm preaching to the converted, but truly impressive to be hanging out in Jack Kerouac Alley, potent potable in hand, enjoying some tunes from one of the many talented local groups that call this home.

Both "Lydia" and "Scheme" are new, and "Symptoms" (first time hearing all three) is from their "A Day At The Fair" demos and B-sides collection.

UBISOFT FORWARD 2023!

Good morning/afternoon/some time of the day or night from across the pond! I'm making the most of this jet lag with some Peanut Butter m&m's and a blog on our time at yesterday's Ubisoft Forward event! It was a morning accompanied by popcorn that showcased their (very) impressive lineup for this year and beyond!

Before I get into it, can you believe there's no coffee machine in this hotel room? Why must I suffer? It's simply unacceptable.

Now that I've had a moan we can get into it. Thanks for listening.

We had planned some video content for TikTok but upon arrival and having passed the awesome Assassin's Creed cosplayers above, we were met with this potentially day-ruining sign:

We're sorry. It's not our fault.

JUST DANCE 2024

The event got underway with one the most popular music game franchises (if not THE most popular) of all time, back for 2024 with 40 new tracks and a vibey trailer that somehow transitioned from screen to live dancers on stage! I'd be lying if I said Just Dance was personally my thing but its player numbers around the globe speaks for itself! Fans will be pleased to know that "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus has made the cut, as well as all-time banger "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston!

Launching on 24th October, you can now pre-order with us here.

AVATAR: FRONTIERS OF PANDORA

Getting to see more on this first person action adventure that gives us the opportunity to become Na'vi and seek revenge on the invading RDA, well, it was absolutely fantastic. We weren't exactly sure on how this title would play out but after yesterday's gameplay, consider us SOLD. Set after the events of the first Avatar film, you’ll embark on a journey across the Western Frontier, a never-before-seen continent of Pandora! Fans of Far Cry will no doubt have also been frothing at the choice of weapons, skills and stunning scenery that awaits on this breathtaking planet! Oh and we got a release date too...

Launching on 7th December, you can now pre-order with us here.

THE CREW MOTORFEST

Car enthusiasts, fasten your seatbelts! The Crew Motorfest will officially launch on 14th September and will be using the vibrant island of O’ahu, Hawaii as its playground! The 3rd instalment in the franchise looks the part, that's for sure. From the Lamborghini Revuelto to the Toyota Supra, Hummer EV or Porsche Taycan Turbo S, there's a set of wheels and a racing feel for EVERYONE!

We were told no photos but I did manage to snap this beauty as we were leaving! Sorry, Ubi - it was too good to leave without memento.

You can now pre-order with us here.

PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE LOST CROWN

No, we didn't get any news on the Sands of Time Remake but after its announcement at Summer Game Fest last week, we did get to see more on this epic side-scrolling, sword slashing, time-dashing new adventure in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown! Play as Sargon and evolve from sword-wielding prodigy to extraordinary legend as you master acrobatic combat and unlock new Time Powers and unique super abilities.

Having seen this earlier in the year on a confidential presentation, its improvements since then are astounding. This metroidvania type game has found huge popularity in recent years with many titles adopting the style! But nevertheless it stands out from a crowd and looks to be an absolute MUST play for me!

Launching on 18th January 2024, you can now pre-order with us here.

SKULL AND BONES

We're all familiar with this right me hearties? Of course. It's been due to set sail for a number of years but has regularly been met with choppy waters and uncertain tides...

Yesterday didn't deliver too much on when we can actually expect Skull and Bones to get those anchors away, but we were treated to this new trailer accompanied by a live performance from the band 'Home Free' as they sang their tune from the game!

The Closed Beta will be available 25th-28th August and you can now register here.

Of course with this already being announced, you can pre-order on our website here!

STAR WARS OUTLAWS

Having seen the trailer a couple of days ago for the long awaited open world Star Wars game that was originally teased in 2021, we've already been feeling pretty blessed... But seeing a 10 minute gameplay walk-through yesterday has excited all of us scummy, villainous gamers to no end!

Seeing Kay Vess and the adorable Nix in heist action reminded us of the loving relationship between Cal and BD-1, and that is NEVER a bad thing. From the heat of blaster-fire battle to the foot-down freedom of a speeder chase, this footage shows that 2024 will be a great time to be an Outlaw!

No official launch date has been confirmed and so there's no pre-orders just yet! But sit tight, watch the gameplay again and prepare to revel in what will be the first and incredibly ambitious open world Star Wars game to date!

ASSASSIN'S CREED MIRAGE

We're finishing up here with the extended gameplay section we saw from Assassin's Creed Mirage, and its back-to-basics stealth-centric footage that fans in the presentation were cheering for with joy and rapture!

Our assassin Basim is light on his feet and making even lighter work of those that stand in his way... The gameplay showed that mixing stealth with creativity really does deliver supreme results! Smoke bombs, blow-darts, hidden blades, it's all in a day's work for this agile and acrobatic executioner!

Ninth-century Baghdad has never looked better and we can't wait to take our place with an ancient organization known as the Hidden Ones...

Launching on 12th October, you can pre-order with us here.

If you've made it this far then I thank you for reading! For those wondering exactly how I've made it without that coffee, a five minute break at Dunkin' Doughnuts around the corner has gotten me over the line!

God bless America.

-Jack
