Torg

Torg is a cinematic multi-genre role-playing game (RPG) created by Greg Gorden and Bill Slavicsek and released by West End Games in 1990 and, as of 2015, owned by Ulisses Spiele, which uses several innovative techniques. Players take the role of Storm Knights, deliberately larger-than-life heroes engaged in fighting the invasion of Earth, to prevent it being conquered by several invading dimensions (called cosms), each with its own separate reality; cosms largely correspond with popular role-playing genres. Ulisses Spiele has announced a new edition will be released in 2016 under the title, Torg: Eternity.

The title was originally an acronym for the in-house development name: The Other Roleplaying Game. Unable to find a better name, the name was adopted as the official name and applied to the game. Names that were considered but rejected include Shadow Wars, Shadow Spawn, Twilight Shadows, and Endless Earth.

Overview

Torg is set in a near future setting, known officially as "the near now." At the games's starting point this world has been subjected for several months to a year, to a pan dimensional invasion by a series of "High Lords" who have changed the natural laws of large swaths of Earth to reflect those of their home dimensions. The players assume the role of "Storm Knights", people from Earth and the various invading realms, who possess limited reality altering abilities, and who oppose the plans of the High Lords.

Yeah!!!

Yeah!!! (or Aretha Franklin In Person With Her Quartet) is the eighth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, Released on May 17, 1965 by Columbia Records. Contrary to the overdubbed sounds of audience murmurs, the album was not a live album, but instead was recorded live at New York's Columbia Studios and produced by Clyde Otis. This would be Franklin's last collection of jazz recordings until the release of 1973's Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky), released during her landmark tenure at Atlantic Records. An expanded version of the album that also contains the original session tracks without audience overdubs has been released on CD in the Columbia Box Set Take A Look: Aretha Franklin Complete On Columbia.

LCD Soundsystem (album)

LCD Soundsystem is the debut studio album by American dance-punk act LCD Soundsystem, released in January 2005 by DFA Records. Some editions contained two discs: the LP itself with new songs and a second disc featuring singles released since 2002. The album was nominated for the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album.

Reception

LCD Soundsystem received widespread acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 86, based on 35 reviews.

AllMusic reviewer Andy Kellman said that the album "has few weak spots and unfolds smoothly as you listen to it from beginning to end." Dominique Leone of Pitchfork Media criticized the record for not meeting the expectations set by the band's early singles, saying that "there aren't very many surprises here, either in the bank of sounds Murphy pulls out, or in how he uses them." Leone went on to award the album the website's "Best New Music" accolade, but concluded that it contained "plenty of good-not-great stuff" and said that it was "unfocused". In his review for Rolling Stone, Barry Walters said that the record showed that LCD Soundsystem were "both underground hitmakers and bona fide album artists."Drowned in Sound critic Gareth Dobson called it "a disparate yet cohesive collection of songs" and said that "the majority of LCD Soundsystem is an excellent thump into 2005." Assigning the album a one-star honorable mention rating,Robert Christgau of The Village Voice noted Murphy's alternation between "dance guy or rock guy, optimist or cynic".
