Exile Vilify

The National – Exile Vilify I didn’t think much of Exile Vilify when I first heard it. (On YouTube. I actually only heard it in-game two days ago. I kept missing the room it plays in.) However, it’s grown on me quite a bit in the last two weeks of Portaling. This (WARNING: SPOILER) being […]

☢ CAUTION! ☢ CAUTION! ☢ CAUTION! ☢

Nuclear Fusion Tomorrow marks the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. So I thought I’d dedicate this post to the one whose job it is to regulate the nuclear reactor in the Underworld. They really could have used her help at the Fukushima plant…

Everything is Fine

Unknown Sender – Searching. Emergence. Discovery. This whole ARG was nuts. Great music, though. ASYNCHRONOUS EMOTION SIMULATION UNIT And if these aren’t in Portal 2, I will become Sad Panda.

A 35 nm Difference

=Neutral= – Blue Eyed Jealousy All other arranges of Parsee’s theme are jealous of this one.

MIA

Kelly Bailey – Sector Sweep http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YkIriT3frs Kelly Bailey, the composer for the excellent Half-Life soundtrack, has left Valve for reasons unknown. This news made me incredibly sad. Regarding Episode 3, this news can be taken a few ways. One, the game is nearly complete, with the soundtrack done, and so Bailey didn’t need to still […]

Spring is Now Here

TMZ – 天空の花の都 (Volucite Mix) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvUqw6bE4ZU Lily White’s theme works very well as a trance track. If you remember, last year’s announcement of spring was trance, too. This year’s is even better, though. (Actually, no. The situation hasn’t really changed over last week. I haven’t seen any huge displays of danmaku in the sky, either. […]

Spring is Nowhere

Yuyuko’s Theme – Border of Life It’s been the coldest winter I’ve had in a while, with temperatures far below what they should be. I blame Yuyuko. Yuyuko is a really interesting character. To quote cjn1414118 from YouTube: (People who leave comments on YouTube that are actually fun and informative? What is this?) I find […]

Hang in there, Japan

Kimi de Ite, Buji de Ite Yoko Kanno wrote this to support the victims of Friday’s earthquake and tsunami.

Forward Slash This Song

Left Loosey & SPUF – All I Want to Do I was snickering through most of it, but I finally completely lost it at the drum solo. This came out a year ago, and I just found it now. Maybe I should visit the SPUF more… Perhaps they’re not all gibbering monkeys over there. (You […]

Quake

Nine Inch Nails – Quake – Main Theme You know, I am ashamed to say that I have never played a single Quake game. Not even once. One of the great foundations that first person shooters stand on today, and I haven’t played it. Well, I spent last year playing some games that I’ve missed. […]
