‘X’ strays off the beaten path for Chris Brown Murphy Mitchell @MurphyMitchell
When you press play on the first track of Chris Brown’s sixth studio album, titled “X,” try to recall some of the tracks that first brought him to prominence in the hip hop and R&B genre. Then forget those songs that once raised him on a pedestal. Then prepare to be enveloped by a contradiction as confounding as the 17 tracks that appear on the icon’s new album. Chris Brown has made a distinct crossover — it seems the entire contemporary pop and hip-hop music world has — to a slowly protruding, trap-influenced style of music. Released Tuesday, “X” is projected to sell 120,000 copies within its first week, which would likely push it toward the top of next week’s Billboard 200 and R&B Album charts. The first track of the album, which is conveniently given the same title as the album itself, is started with a familiarly slow-paced,
lyrical Chris Brown. This is quickly replaced by the trendy implementation of what some would dub a trap twist, and the rest of the album follows suit with a mix between the two. The dichotomy that exists between Brown’s original style and what has come as of late also becomes apparent in the lyrics of the leading track. Pit, for example, the lyrics “if you’re only as good as the company you keep, then I’m gonna blame you for what they say about me” against “I simply came here to party,” which are both contained in the track “X,” and it’s no secret that Brown has recognized the pattern of preference within his genre’s fan base. Brown seems to be straying somewhat from what got him here in the first place, which undoubtedly has the potential to draw some “boos” from even his most loyal. Speaking of, Brown wastes no time in tying in the smashingly successful Dec. 16 release, “Loyal,” officially featuring Lil’ Wayne (the original release had versions that featured French Montana and Too Short). The track, which topped
Billboard’s Rhythmic chart and peaked at No. 9 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, appears third in the lineup of Breezy’s album and introduces what proves to be a fairly substantial outing of features (notables: Usher, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Trey Songz, R. Kelly and Jhene Aiko). Other noteworthy tracks that appear on Brown’s album include “New Flame” featuring Usher and Rick Ross, “Songs on 12 Play” featuring Trey Songz, “Autumn Leaves” featuring Kendrick Lamar and “Drunk Texting” featuring Jhene Aiko. In the end, “X” stands as a somewhat experimental venture in what seems to be a midpoint in Brown’s career. He gives his original fans slivers of his old self and provides a newer generation of fans with some tracks to get excited about. I think it can be said that the success Brown thought this lineup would bring was lost in translation. But, when all is said and done, “X” is just slightly above mediocre as a decent album. news@ocolly.com

Cowgirls host 4-team invitational, look to keep winning
Madison Mercado scored the game-winning goal for OSU against UT-Martin on Sunday.
Connor Nybo @connornybo Despite riding a twogame winning streak heading into this weekend’s action, the Oklahoma State Cowgirls believe the key to their success will be keeping their focus on themselves. “It’s the same sort of philosophy,” OSU coach Colin Carmichael said. “Just integrating the injured kids back in with the group.” Carmichael placed
emphasis on keeping the team looking inward before looking at the opponent. “We have to focus on ourselves and our game,” Carmichael said. “We can be very dangerous in the final third.” Notably, many key players have fully returned from injuries, including midfielder Madison Mercado. Coming off the bench against Cal Poly, she was an important factor in the win and scored the game’s only goal in Sunday’s victory against UT-Martin. Mercado also noted the importance of concentrat-

ing on her team first. “We are just going to focus on ourselves,” Mercado said. “We can continue on from this last weekend and play better and get two more wins hopefully.” Naturally, as the health of the team has improved and the wins have started to come, the overall mood and spirit around the team has become more positive. “I am just going to continue to play my game and help my team,” Mercado said. “Everyone getting back, myself and Anna (Beffer) and Krissi (Killion), it definitely helps the
team spirit.” Freshman midfielder Beryl Smith, another player returning from injury, added there is room for the team to get better as players continue to become more comfortable coming back. “Getting more players back, I think our offense is looking strong,” Smith said. “As we keep improving, I think we’ll keep scoring, so I’m feeling good.” Carmichael knows how much a few wins can change the outlook for a team going forward. “From Sunday’s postgame meal through today,
O’COLLY WEEKEND EDITION

there’s just a little bit more smiling and a little bit of a buzz around the team,” Carmichael said. “That’s normal when you win a few games.” As much as the team can concentrate on itself, the Cowgirls still have formidable opponents this weekend in Memphis and a Tulsa team with an impressive record. “Hopefully the Memphis game, if we get the win, it keeps the momentum going,” Carmichael said. “Tulsa is having a great season. They’re 6-1-1 at this point. That’s an in-state
rival, and we have a lot of respect for the staff and program.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: Memphis When: Friday at 7:30 p.m. Where: Cowgirl Soccer Complex

‘Gotham’ takes a unique angle at iconic character Miles Clements @MilesDailyMovie
Unless you’ve been cooped up in a bat cave, there is a good chance FOX’s new police drama, “Gotham,” has appeared on your radar. With the monotone state of major networks, non-premium television being what it is, there is bound to be a show that slips through the barricade of mediocrity and resonates with a wider range of people. “Gotham” is that show. Regardless of whether it turns out to be a fantastic addition to the Batman universe, the pilot will at least satisfy fans of the caped vigilantly and attract casual
viewers at the same time. At least until the second episode. Set during Bruce Wayne’s childhood and James Gordon’s rookie days, “Gotham” is an origin story of sorts, but without Batman. The pilot introduces several familiar villains of the Dark Knight and Gordon’s involvement in their world of crime. The show begins with the fateful night where young Bruce and his parents are walking home from a movie, and a random act of street robbery leaves Bruce an orphan. Enter James Gordon. Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is assigned to the case with his street-smart partner, Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue), who enjoys tossing the rookie through the standard initiation process.
If anything, “Gotham” will be an excellent look at where Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue are in their acting career. Ever since McKenzie’s days on “The O.C.,” he’s been out of the spotlight for the most part. McKenzie’s most popular role since “The O.C.” — which ended in 2007 — is TNT’s “Southland,” where he also played a police officer. On the other hand, Logue is a veteran actor. His recent string of television appearances in “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Vikings” and “Sons of Anarchy” proves well enough that he can contribute to a successful network show. As the show progresses, the two actors will most likely find comfort in each other’s characters, but the
pilot says otherwise. Their chemistry needs work, but like I said, the 16-episode season provides ample time to improve, but their individual performances show promise. The best thing I did while watching the pilot was forget about Batman altogether — with the exception of his villains — and take the show for what it is: a gritty cop show in an aesthetically designed, fictional city. The cop routine we’ve seen in too many dramas is almost an afterthought thanks to the impressive design of the setting. The rough city streets and sharp effects work provide a setting that distracts the viewer enough to forget about the bland cop story introduction. The quasi-mythic cities we

see in superhero films gives a television show the depth and originality it needs to push away from the pack, at least where advertising is concerned. Even with borrowed content, “Gotham” looks as if it could be something impressive in its own right — that’s
if the show gets the chance it deserves. The familiar fictional content, dry sense of humor and palpable action sequences give this otherwise tedious show an advantage over other basic cable cop dramas. news@ocolly.com

‘Destiny’ provides solid introduction to rich universe Brandon Schmitz @SchmitzReviews
“Destiny” represents a new era for “Halo” creator Bungie, which reportedly has a 10-year plain laid out for this universe. It’s tough to say whether this sci-fifantasy hybrid will reach the heights of the studio’s former cash cow, but it’s off to a decent start. After navigating a robust character creation screen, the player steps into the shoes of his or her Guardian. Possessing supernatural abilities, Guardians are tasked with fending off a force called The Darkness across the ruins of the solar system.
Although the game’s nonlinearity does allow for a more personal experience, the narrative itself feels like an afterthought. There are about half a dozen in-game cutscenes throughout “Destiny’s” central campaign, most of which hint at a more intriguing tale. “Game of Thrones’” Peter Dinklage adds some brashness to the proceedings as the Guardian’s ‘bot companion Ghost,’ although the dryness of his dialogue occasionally makes him feel distant. Although “Destiny” stumbles in storytelling, it excels in world-building. Each of the four locales, while expansive enough for an MMO (massive multiplayer online), boasts its
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2014
own personality. Even the moon, which has become a fortress for The Hive — think space necromancers — feels like a character unto itself. Most of the insight on the game’s settings, factions and lore is gained from grimoire cards, which are earned by playing different game modes. Unfortunately, these cards can only be read through either the Destiny mobile app or the game’s official website. Not exactly seamless. Defining “Destiny” by a particular genre is difficult; it incorporates elements from several. At its core, though, the game is a firstperson shooter with many MMO elements — “Halo” meets “World of Warcraft.” Missions are divided
into stories, strikes, and patrols, all of which can be played cooperatively with two other people. Although I am one of the few people I know of who enjoys tackling the game solo, “Destiny” is at its best when played with friends. Strikes especially place an emphasis on teamwork. By the time all of the missions have been completed, the player will likely have reached the maximum level. At that point, character progression will no longer stem from experience points, but instead from random equipment drops in both missions and the game’s competitive multiplayer mode. This can be frustrating, for players are no longer rewarded based on
O’COLLY WEEKEND EDITION
skill. Some may find having to continually revisit the same missions monotonous, but the gunplay holds up well enough to warrant it. As with most MMOs, “Destiny” requires a fair amount of investment. Although its story is threadbare and its advanced leveling system
arbitrary, “Destiny” is a solid introduction to a rich, creative world. The combat mechanics withstand the game’s repetitive mission structure, while Fireteams help provide one of my most rewarding cooperative experiences in recent memory. news@ocolly.com
“Destiny” made $325 million in its first five days.

I know everyone is really surprised that Sam Adams is my first pick, right? Well this is a staple in my fridge when the leaves change and football is on. So cuddle up with your jack-o-lantern and drink up.
Bridgeport Witch Hunt
This is the best spiced ale to ever pass my lips. Bridgeport does an amazing job with blending spices to warm you up from the inside out. This would go great with a few friends and s’mores around a campfire.

So, I’ll be honest with you guys. I might have been a little hasty saying goodbye to summer last week. But my intentions were good, I promise. There is no better season for beer than fall. Pumpkin ales, spiced ales, lagers — the possibilities are endless. I love all of these beers, and honestly I’d drink a fall brew before anything else. ‘Tis the season.
Angry Orchard Apple Ginger
This is the perfect cider for fall. It’s nice and spiced and delicious. Don’t be afraid of the ginger in this, it’s delicate, and there’s just enough there for you to notice it. Best enjoyed outside watching the leaves change.
Kona Brewing Pipeline Porter
This beer was made for me. I love the ocean, and this brew is perfect to take me there. When you drink this, just imagine you’re on the beach enjoying the fading tan lines and fleeting tourists because now, it’s all yours.

This is a great brew by Breckenridge, it is really similar to an Oktoberfest without the need for a giant pretzel in your hand. But you could have a pretzel; I’m not the boss of you. But you should drink this beer, really.
Rio Grande Brewing Pancho Verde Chili Cerveza
In Albuquerque, fall is marked by the smell of roasting green chilies, so it’s only appropriate that I include this. It takes me home, except this time it’s just a short drive to The Barn.
