8 Bit music, Interactive music, Chrono trigger, and my thirst for fulfilling holidays

Didn't do anything today, like usual, so here's some finds from today, which was technically yesterday.

I've always had such fond love for 8-bit music. I can still remember the well produced tunes of Megaman during my young years playing my old NES (which had a longer life span then my 360), where my blowing skills were top notch! Anyways, point is, this music lasts through ages, and when you combine Jesus and video games, you get 8 Bit: Jesus.


Figures. This free online album is for those romantic geeky fireplace sex sessions, as you make hot love to "We Three Konami", " The Legend of Noel", and " Silent Knight Man". An enjoyable listen that might go really well with.......

You know, I've always heard good things about AudioSurf, but with it now being on my hard drive, I can say it, I'm impressed. AudioSurf turns your entire music library into a euphoric interactive experience, giving compelling reasons to revisit all those over played annoying songs you can no longer stand, by creating a game where you can compete with other users who hate that song just as much as you.

Coloured blocks sync to beats and rhythm and all that other fun stuff from your music to create a track where you can move around in F-Zero fashion, collecting and producing combos from the coloured blocks you hit. The game awards you with a bronze, silver and gold medal, and occasionally the odd achievement for your efforts, but surprisingly, there are no actual goals. Everything is available to you from the start, and there is no failure. You can just sit back, and enjoy the scenery, a feature you hadn't seen in mainstream games until recently with the latest iterations of Guitar Hero and Rockband franchises.
Chrono Trigger first came out for the SNES in 1995. I can be proud to say that I will finally complete this game before 2009, or sometime soon after. Thirteen or so years to complete, not bad huh? I'm playing the recently released DS version with the fancy anime cut scenes and monster farming, and I couldn't care less about those features. The cutscenes are poorly implemented as they don't sync with the game at all, they show an event, and that event gets shown right after in the in game engine, which is pointless. It does give me more reason to love Dragon Ball Z artist Akira Toriyama, so I guess complaining is absurd. The second new feature, monster farming, just didn't catch my interest at all to drag me away from the main quest so I cant really spout my opinion on that yet. The DS version sports a new cleaner interface that makes it much more easier to access the many menus, and also a touch screen interface for battling, for all you douchebags that can't press a D-Pad.

STILL BORING. But I'm pretty sure things will change soon. With the upcoming load of movies, you can be sure that I will take full advantage of this Christmas's offer of great cinema.

and Christmas presents, can't wait for my new ipod, SO I CAN PUT 120 GIGS OF PORN ON!
actually, just music, My old 4gb Nano just doesn't do my music library justice.
