Hey, Hey, Hey, Everybody
Welcome to the Gaming Den
Today I will continue the masked adventure through the third transformation of The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Want to learn about the previous 2 masks? Head over to my first post here about the Deku Scrub or here for the Goron Hero.
Today's mask is the Zora's Mask which allows you to transform into the lead guitarist and Zora Warrior, Mikau.
After rescuing Mikau from the sea, as he float unconscious, you find that he was trying to save the lead singer's, Lulu, eggs. They are part of the band the Indigo-Go's.
With the Zora transformation you are able to traverse the sea just as well as Link can traverse the land. This warrior is equipped with razor sharp fins which also double as a viable boomerang, even for collecting items that are far away. This transformation also has the ability to create a barrier of electricty at the cost of magic, which is very useful if you accidentally get swallowed up by a Like-Like. Also while you are swimming you are able to zoom at great speeds cloaked in an electric barrier, much like the Goron.
Unfortunately, the Zora transformation is weak to fire, much like the Deku transformation.

Jarell Perry
Everyone loves to listen to something new. For the "R&B lovers," I have found something for us! Jarell Perry is his name, rhythm and blues is his game (corny? yeah I know). His voice sort of sounds like ice cream on a summer day, I mean, if ice cream could have a sound. The point is, it's something everyone can enjoy. His smooth voice combined with his slow beats gives listeners a relax feel. His talent is undeniable as he makes every note he hits sound effortless. Are you feeling intrigued? GOOD! We have Jarell Perry right here on WNJR Radio! Tune in to 91.7FM for a listen.

Hey, Hey, Hey Everybody
Welcome to the Gaming Den
Today, I will continue on my talk of the transformation masks in the game, The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Don't understand what is going on? Head over to my previous post here.
The second mask you come around to is the Goron Mask.
This mask allows you to transform in to the once great Hero of the Mountain Village, Darmani. With this hero's skills you are able break boulders with a single punch, pound the ground much harder than Mario, and roll with great speed and strength, flattening enemies wherever you go. Unfortunately you can't leap over skyscrapers in a single bound, that is reserved for Superman.
The one fatal flaw of this monster of a fighter is that he can not swim for even if it is to save his own life. Which is unfortunate because I always find myself drowning right when I get the mask and I jump off of the cliff down to the pond below in order to test the rolling mechanic. *Sigh* Another thing I'd like to note is how his Super Spiky Spinny Mode consumes magic, like temporary almost invincible mode.
Also the tough hide of the Goron transformation grants protection from most fires and lava, but not Captain Keeta's fire wall, which is weird.

Listen to Niyaz on WNJR 91.7 FM, Niyaz is an Iranian-American musical band, consisting of DJ programmer, producer and re-mixer Carmen Rizzo and a vocalist Azam Ali.
Niyaz means "yearning" in Persian, its music is described as mystical music with a modern edge. The music is very abundant, Niyaz adapts Persian, Indian and Mediterranean folk voices, including traditional mystical music and poetry "Rumi"(13th century Persian poet) with Western electronic programming.
The duo's debut album was released in 2005, it represented the combination of 13th century Sufi and Urdu (both language groups of Persia) poetry.
In their second album, members of the band featured two discs; the second disc was basically acoustic editions of the tracks on the first disc. Their newest album Sumud was released on March 19th 2013, with six songs.
Enjoy Niyaz's mystical songs on WNJR!

Welcome to the Gaming Den.
In The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask, the main mechanic of the game is to use masks for different tasks. Of the 24 available masks in the game 4 of them are transformation masks, where donning such a mask initiates excruciating pain to ultimately transform the person into the other species/race.
One Mask is the Deku Mask, which allows you to transform into a Deku Scrub.
This transformation has many unique abilities such as skipping over water, shooting out harmful bubbles, or diving into a flower in order to launch out flying, able to hover over to anything within distance. One of the weakness of this mask is that when transformed your body is made of wood so fire will kill you instantly.
Want to learn more? Tune in this Thursday from 9pm to 10pm to listen to The Ravanator where I will talk more about the temple and boss battle of the first temple of the game with accompanying music.

Less than 50 days until Graduation!
Seniors, make sure you get to the Senior Marketplace in the Ballroom by 6pm today!
-Double check that all of your graduation requirements are done
-Submit your cap & gown size
-Learn about Senior Week and buy a Senior Week ticket! (We heard something about a Dueling Pianos performance so don't miss out!)
Most importantly: get a free gift and food just for showing up! Also, there's the chance to enter to win a bunch of gift cards and more!
No Small Order definitely creates an nostalgic atmosphere as soon as you hear the first track. Not only is there some dope 808's, but you can pick up on the other instruments as the instrumental flows through your ear. Don't get too caught up in the beats though, or you'll miss the bigger picture...the lyrics ! Pause has definitely set the bar for "new-old school rapping"; if you don't understand what I mean, check out No Small Order for yourself :)
